A Guide to Nashville’s Best Dive Bars | Eater Nashville

"Back from the dead after a short hiatus and change of ownership (enter Teresa Mason of beloved Mas Tacos), the McFerrin Park dive bar saw some renovations but remains the same low-key longtime Eastside hang. Thankfully, the name and iconic sign remain, but folks can get pumped about menu items like a Sonoran hot dog or classic bar nachos." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

We were waiting for a dinner reservation next door and decided to pop in for a drink. I LOVE this local dive and was pleasantly surprised. Bartender was funny and made some mean drinks. Super chill, as you'd expect, and definitely a great place to relax with a drink. Fun decor and had some good quirks - which I'm always a huge fan. No tourists, reasonable prices, tasty drinks - you can't beat it.

Wilburn has the best bar vibes in the city. The $7 shot and bar is what first brought me in. Now I play pool here every week. Sy behind the bar is the best bartender in town.

Adding to what's already been said, "a neighborhood classic". No tourists - just a good vibe with food if you need it. Nachos are solid, and I haven't had the hot dogs. Love this place.

Great local dive. Very friendly staff. Si the bartender was really nice. I would not suggest the food but if you are looking for some cool music and an ice cold beer this place is as good as any.

Love this place! It's a hidden gem of Nashville - the whole street really is but it's very fun and inviting. Great outdoor space and drink specials!

The vibe here is among the best of any dive bar in town. Teresa of Mas Tacos is the new owner, so no more Miss Paulette, but all the charm of this now updated watering hole is there otherwise. Occasional live music, a single pool table, plenty of beer and liquor. Pretty good deals for drinks on the relative cheap. Hot dogs, too, and they're not bad. It's really all about the community feel though - it'll be an "always neighborhood classic" for as long as it lives.

It's more than a dive, but not too ritzy like a lot of Nashville have become. No marble countertops, no brightly-lit Instagram photo-ops. Yes some art and plants, some cozy booths, yes a pool table. It's just a bar. That serves good drinks. They're not making all their own bitters and lighting things on fire for you, but they're not just serving Jack & Coke. It's the perfect middle. My favorite thing is that they wrote their brief cocktail menu with a range of prices ($6 to $11), so you can drink and socialize without breaking the bank. My current favorite is the Ouzo Lemonade - a refreshing tart lemonade (house-made, I think) with a cooling anise flavor from the Ouzo. They also sometimes have killer specials (hello $5 bees knees!). I hope they write some new cocktails for winter. They also have a beer list (bottles and cans) that my partner often orders from. But if you're looking for taps, you are in the wrong spot (and you should check out Vinyl & Taps on the other side of Gallatin!). I don't come here to eat, so I can't speak to that. It's bar fare - mostly a couple hot dog options, which is just not my bag. On Sundays, they have special food for brunch that I've heard is a unique and yummy experience, but haven't tried it myself. So my rating is based on the cocktails and atmosphere only.

I wish I could give them different ratings for staff vs venue. I enjoyed the drinks and the food but I was really alienated by the bathroom configurations as a queer woman. The options are "Men"or "whatever". So wrong toned. Seriously. Make all your bathrooms unisex at minimum.

They have the best guacamole pop up and lavender drinks of my whole life, and the bartender is too amazing! 100% best bar in this town.

Love this place! Amazing atmosphere and drink deals. And the pool table is a plus. Definitely a must go on the east side.

Great style, vibe and atmosphere. Solid drink and a shot deal (tall boy and rail shot for $6). Nice pool table and seating options. Not pretentious. Service is quality.
