Wilburn Street Tavern

Chill neighborhood dive bar. Couple of varieties of hot dogs on the menu for food and nachos. They have a pool table. Occasionally comedy, karaoke, or some band pops up. Don't expect anything too fancy though they do rock a decent negroni. Surprisingly a variety of canned beers including Helles and Pilsner Urquell. Overall price is good, parking is crappy, ambiance is fine. It's a dive bar through and through.

This place exemplifies every phase of a phenomal dive bar perfectly. Simple menu, well priced, great people / service, and an atmosphere that can only be experienced in such a place. Margaritas and hot dogs were top notch. Can’t miss at any time of day or night

Stopped by for a drink on my way to the airport after a work trip. Just a wonderful little spot! Definitely recommend for any travelers missing their local corner bar.

A cute, “very basic”( by bartender, explaining the absence of mint i asked for my gin/tonic. They didnt care/make our favorite drinks, and we went with the classics: gin/tonic and old fashion), neighborhood bar. We appreciated late hours (close @midnight), quick service and interior design individuality. Seems like a good place for a layback hang out.

Pretty cool neighborhood dive bar with great ambience. We had beers - they only have can/bottle beers, no beers on tap which was a little unexpected.. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the laid back experience after a long drive day and would for sure go to this place frequently if we lived close by.

Cozy spot in the neighborhood. Drinks are solid! looks like it can get a little busy for the bartender. Not too bad though. Great time and good music. Would recommend

Wonderful little dive bar in East Nashville; the cozy vibes definitely make it a great spot to start or end a night out. Pool table in the center, and live music in the front corner. Took one star off for lack of AC, but it honestly didn’t bother me at all - too busy listening to the killer Tuesday night jazz group!

Okay so I am giving this place five stars because I literally stan this place, but the bartender tonight was worse than any I have ever experienced. I asked him multiple questions about the drinks and he knew nothing. May friends also tried to ask him questions, as simple as what the people previous had ordered, and he was stunned like a possum in the crosshairs of a Ram 1500 and an 18 wheeler. I really think he was trying to troll me. I will still come back because like I said, I love this place. But this bartender is the biggest troll and I don’t know if I love him or hate him for it. To be determined.

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.

Great neighborhood bar on the East side. Drinks are well-crafted and snacks are tasty!

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.

Favorite nashville bar. It's nice to come to a local spot and not get bombarded. Fave nashville spot. As long as it stays under the radar, i will continue coming here 4 nights a week

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.
