44 Best Sports Bars near Madison

“Sotheary is perhaps one of the greatest waitresses I’ve ever had. She is absolutely gorgeous and the service was top notch. The food came out very quick and was excellent as always. She was always on top of drinks and made my experience at Twin Peaks better. I will definitely be back!“

“The Nashville hot chicken was ?. The collard greens were also delicious. You get plenty of food for your money. I'm glad I found this place. The service, food, and drinks were excellent! I will definitely be back the next time I visit Nashville.“

“Logan is absolutely amazing! We were in town for my daughter's 21st birthday from Wisconsin & Delaware & he could NOT have been a better server! The food is phenomenal!!!! I highly recommend the poutine, garlic parm fries, Clyde's plant based burger was a tasty burger in general & the Dank Hash was incredible! Do not skip passed this place ESPECIALLY when Logan is working!!!!! Best server I've quite literally ever had!“

“It was great to visit a place right at the marina in Old Hickory. The big heavy door reminded me of something from Pirates of the Caribbean. Terrific salads and the citrus lime dressing should be tried by everyone. The women's restroom is incredibly small, so be warned.“

“The catfish was cooked perfectly and delicious as well as the tartar sauce was very good with it. The chicken Alfredo was good as well with the perfect portion! We sat outside and it was such a beautiful view of the lake! I will say, this place seems to stay pretty busy so you might want to go in and put your name then go walk on the trail! Once seated and ordered the food was served super quick!“

“We love the Redneck Riviera! We spent our time outside on the rooftop!!! It was a beautiful day in Nashville and the rooftop was the perfect place to be! We had Mimosas and Nachos and listened to Megan Golden! It was absolutely fabulous! It was about 1:00 in the afternoon when we arrived and we had the best time and hope to go back again soon. Also, we loved Megan Golden, she is a musical treasure!“

“Great low key burger joint in the gulch with a bunch of great beers on tap. I recommend popping over during a nice day to sit on the patio. Dog friendly and always offer a water bowl and treat. Everyone who works here is great and the manager always makes sure you’re enjoying your time and meal. Great spot!“

“Between my husband and I, we had the brisket, pulled pork, turkey, mac & cheese, cowboy beans, street corn, banana pudding, and a few of the frozen drinks - DELISH!!! I recommend everything we tried. Fun outdoor atmosphere where everyone brought their dogs reminded us of the Katy Trail Ice House in Dallas, which we miss since moving from D to N to Nashville.“

“Hey Brian was our bartender and he was amazing, he’s funny and easy to talk with. My mom and I stop for gas and she’s the nosy one that went in and he started talking with, we decided to stay for 5 minutes and then it literally went into 4 hours later lol. We think it needs a little touch up in the bathroom but other than that it’s a nice little spot, it’s very different from what we would normally stop for a drink!!!!!“

“I was visiting from Australia and was taken to Party Fowl by a friend because they knew I loved chicken....and it did not disappoint. Chicken was perfectly cooked, and there was a great selection of heat levels in the spice. I also found the beer glasses with a hole in the bottom, blocked by a magnet, very unique. I would definitely go back when I'm next in Nashville.“

“Got a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings to go. The bacon was super crisp, the lettuce was cold and crisp, and even though tomatoes aren't in season, they were surprisingly flavorful. The burger was seasoned perfectly. The rings were good and crispy, not too think, with a good batter. I loved the sauce. I will definitely be back.“

“Great place. The food was very good and lots of it. Many drink options & cold draft beer. The wait staff was phenomenal. The nicest and most fun crew we found in Nashville. Also lots of fun bar games to play while hanging out with friends. Highly recommend visiting this gem.“

“Burger was decent, average for bars but I’m spoiled by my travels…the atmosphere was off the chain and the music was so on point from my 90’s era! The bartenders were lovely and friendly! Definitely loved this place and will be ban next time I come through town! Thank you all for the wonderful time! Keep on keepin on!“

“Had 2 guys playing music, while tvs were playing with volume on(alittle chaotic with that), bathroom was clean. You order at the bar and get a number and find a table. No wait staff so if you wanted a refill you had to get back in line at the bar. Staff was nice though.Parking: Right off a highway. Parking entrance was near a light so alittle hard to get out of. Shares space with a hotel.“

“Way too often in Nashville these days, I see places like this that suffer from cookie-cutter bar food, lackluster service staff and indifferent management. That's what makes having this sparkling gem in my neighborhood such a treat. Whether it's just the two of us out for a weeknight bite or a table of ten that we brought out for a special occasion, Twilight will make it great. Even on a game Sunday, with the place packed to the rafters, this staff will always make us right at home. And the menu is clever, well put together and varied enough to keep us in delicious selections no matter how often we go there. This is the kind of neighborhood joint that more locations around town deserve; I'm just so glad they opened up in mine!“

“Had a great time with friends. I don't know that the facility is anything special or unique but the food was above what I expected (chicken Alfredo? ) ? and the service was outstanding and friendly. Recommend if you're looking for a chill and good time with friends.“

“Amazing! Found it in a whim and read the fantastic reviews so we had to try it! The hummus dip and pretzels are a great starters! Portions are huge! Mac n Cheese, chicken and waffle bites, burger and pulled chicken sandwich were all fabulous dishes! Service was friendly and everything came out in a timely manner! Shout out to Bella our waitress she was wonderful! We never felt rushed and got to just sit back and enjoy our drinks, food and time! Will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Nashville!“

“I always thought I didn’t belong. Everywhere I went, I felt like I should be somewhere else. That is, until I found Germantown Jonathan’s and the bartender, gauge. I moved to Nashville for work 6 and a half years ago, and I’ve struggled finding my place in this city. I tried to honky tonks, but I’m well into my 50s now, so I just always felt out of place in “aldeans”. I tried dating apps, and even some local Facebook groups but they were normally awkward and just didn’t work out. I started going to Jonathan’s because I like their ranch dressing. I always sat at a high top table near the bar. One day, as I was wrapping up my chicken tenders, the bartender, Gauge, called me over to the bar. We sat and chatted for hours. I felt like I was talking to my brother again, who sadly passed away when I was a teenager from a rare gastrointestinal disease. What I’m sure seemed like a nothing interaction for him, completely turned my life around. I started going back more. Gauge convinced me to try new foods I had never eaten before. New beers from breweries I’d never heard of. One day, gauge calls me over to the other side of the bar and introduces me to a woman. She had just moved here recently, so I told her I know what it’s like moving to a new city. We sat and talked for the rest of the day until they closed. Gauge kept sending encouraging glances when she wasn’t looking. I walked her back to her apartment and made sure to get her number. This was a little over a year ago. I’m writing this today because tomorrow I’m going to ask her to be my wife, and I hope Gauge will be one of my groomsmen. Germantown Jonathan’s and Gauge turned my life into nothing but pure bliss. Thank you Gauge. You’re a great person and everyone thinks so.“

“Our party of four went here for dinner and the ratings looked great. We were lucky to get there when the live band was setting up so we were able to enjoy the live music. First time to Nashville so I'm not an expert on all things Nashville. We all had tacos and they were good, they were not a 5 in my opinion but they were good and I would get them again. We had Fish tacos and Pulled Pork tacos and we all enjoyed them. For Sides we tried their Hot Water Cornbread, one spicy and one regular. We were all very disappointed as these were very hard without the normal soft middle. Now these should not be like normal cornbread, they should be crispy on the outside and soft in the middle and they have a different flavor. These were not made correctly, I didn't complain because they were only $1 each. The service was very good the staff were friendly and even though the atmosphere was very loud with the band, it was a fun place to check out. I recommend checking it out and explore the menu too, lots of options to give a try!Parking: free plenty of parking when we arrived on a Wednesday night“

“I would like to thank server Jamesia for her excellent service. As it was our 1st time visiting we were not familiar with the menu and it was a little but overwhelming with all the items offered. She made several suggestions and all were great. We will definitely be back for more of her menu suggestions and excellent service. Jamesia you are truly a gem.“

“Neighbors is a staple bar in Germantown. They have really good drink specials and if you’re looking to watch any games, they are probably one of the best places to go to. Tons of TVs, they extended their outdoor patio, and when it’s packed during game day, it’s a VIBE! Highly recommend!“

“We've been coming here for years and we love this place. We live in Tennessee but we were born and raised in Chicago and this is just like a Chi town neighborhood bar. Everyone is friendly, food is awesome, and atmosphere is so fun. We've watched Cubs and Bears games here and had a blast. Probably our favorite East Nashville bar!!!“

“Beware the Metropolis parking lot across the street is a $46 flat fee (with tax), even for short term parking on a quiet midday. No one tells you that when you scan the QR code and give your credit card number.Parking: Beware the Metropolis parking lot across the street is a $46 flat fee (with tax), even for short term parking on a quiet midday.

“Just wanted to give a shout out to Nicole. She was a great hostess when we came in last week . (4/18/24)Disappointed in the music!A day trip to Nashville! As always the mood is great and people are friendly! Went to favorite haunts such as Tootsie's, Margaritaville, Ole Reds and Kid Rocks Honky Tonk, which is our favorite! The entertainment (outside of the customers) was the best on Broadway this Wednesday. Shannon Willis was amazing! Note, she will be performing all weekend! The food at Margaritaville and Kid Rock's is always amazing! A great time was had, although probably too much vodka(LOL)“

“Fun atmosphere and food was great. Unfortunately the service was a little alow but nothing that would stop me from coming back.Kid-friendliness: Kids play area outside in backWheelchair accessibility: Nice walk uo from street without obstacle.“

“Came to Nashville with my boyfriend on a whim and decided to do a ghost tour that launched from this location.Only doing basic research it was only a mile from the Broadway area where his concert was. I was like oh I can walk a mile no big deal. Just a heads up it's a mile through a whole lotta nothing. So I would not advise to do this as a female I got pretty lucky and no one was around my entire walk.Well I made it to the bar it's a cute little hole in the wall type place. The bartender was really great and was able to make me something I liked even though they ran out of stuff to make my go too drink but meh it happens. Also since he knew I was alone by the end of the night I felt like he was slightly looking out for me when someone tried to buy me a drink. He knew my boyfriend was coming to get me and also have a beer before we left.They had live music like almost every other bar in the area so that was nice too. So I would definitely recommend getting a drink or two before your tour if that's how you end up here.“

“I enjoyed every moment there , IIt was my birthday a day my daughter's took me there and I had a great time , great food , the section we were seated at was great just all around a nice place to hangout and watch all types of sports!!“

“Fantastic! Bands here are amazing. Out of every bar/honky-tonk we went to on Broadway, we stayed here the longest and had the most fun. The band took requests and was super interactive and engaged with the audience. Teaching us how to line dance, playing guitar next to people in the crowd, and over all just a great show. The jello shots here are fun to get. The bartenders were fast and it was easy to get a drink. They have multiple bands in one night and a cool mural to take pictures with. Would recommend this hidden gem!!“

“Came to Barlines to see a band that we seen at a different location. Joe was our waiter and he was very great!! Very pleasant and attentive to all of his table. We enjoyed our time here that we came for lunch the next day and Joe was our waiter again! Again very helpful with suggestions. Highly recommend this place for food and live entertainment. We recommend the wings and the pretzel for dessert!! Looking to our next visit to come back here!“

“I've been twice and plan to go back this week, for one big reason - the happy hour. Getting drinks priced like this takes me back to Nashville of the 2000s. Such a treat! I had the Reuben last time I was there, and it was good. Even if the food were the equivalent of a smoking turd, I'd give this place five stars for the happy hour. Do yourself a favor and try it out.“

“Our waiter Zane was the best! Very personable, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Food delicious! Service fast! We’ll definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience. Was our first time there after moving to the area a couple of weeks ago.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for our 14 month old. High chairs readily available“

“Don't look at the online menu it's wrong. Nice little sports bar just outside of the Nashville Arena (Bridgestone) on the south side. Expect to pay to park anywhere downtown.I stopped in for lunch. I was working and gad ice tea and the big stack sandwich. Really good.Plenty of beers on tap for outside of working hours.“

“Our company had a Halloween party at this place ans it was a BLAST‼️‼️ I’ve been back plenty of times since I love the open floor, the place was so cool with its own beer pong table, tons of screens for parlays and the bar and food is amazing! only place in Nashville to get that experience definitely recommend swinging by anytime of day!“

“Great sports bar to catch a game, especially during NFL season (it is known as a "Philly bar"). Great beer selection and good food for a pretty great price. Tons of TVs and pretty decent service - could be little quicker but it's not a huge deal. Great place for groups as well.“

“Decent spot to grab some lunch, watch a game, and sip on draft beer. It's a little pricey being located inside a hotel. More of a hotel restaurant for business travelers than a pub/ sportsbar but they had a nice selection & friendly bartender.“

“Great place to grab a beer and watch a UFC fight or any game! They have screens all over the bar so regardless of where you sit you are basically guaranteed to get a good view. Also different sport relating airings so definitely a great spot of a sports enthusiast. It’s hard to find public places that offer Pay Per View matches so this is a win! Had a great chicken club sandwich and the HH beer was so good (and cheap $4). All the servers were friendly and this place also allows minors, family friendly.“

“Solid place, came on a Sunday afternoon & it was almost empty. Bartender was friendly food was good & the drinks were cheap. Good beer selection & varied menu with pizzas, salad, burgers, & wings. Came back the next Sunday & hung out for a bit again. Review edit incoming for the pizza.“

“We loved this bar, it's super tucked away but it's open to the public! You don't have to be going to the arena to eat or drink here. Zoe was our bartender and she was absolutely amazing. All of the food and drinks she recommended were spot on. We will definitely be coming back. OH and there's so many TV's!“

“The service was great. We got the steak, chicken, and shrimp skewers. I liked the food but it didn't sit well with my wife. The steak marinade was similar to Teriyaki which she does not like. Otherwise the food was good. We would visit again.“

“This place was packed!! when we got there. Its a nice little vibe with a lot to do if you want to wait on games. We got drinks and walked around watching people play games because the wait for duckpin bowling was 1.5! Definitely a place you want to reserve/book ahead of time. They have a lot of free options as well so that was great. We really enjoyed our time there. Even the workers were super nice and the washrooms were clean.“

“My sisters and I chose this for dinner on a night out in Nashville because the food was affordable and the reviews were good. However, the service we received was truly stellar! Our waitress Cidney as well as the host Justin were incredibly kind and handled the busy night with ease!! I would definitely recomend!“

“My hostess Cas made my son’s birthday extra special she was nice patient and very polite she deserves a raise literally. The only thing I disliked is how there has to be a reservation don’t think you can just walk in and maybe 30 minutes be able to play there’s always a 2-4 hour wait if you don’t have a reservation.“

“I had my company Christmas party here last night in one of the karaoke rooms. KFS took great care of us, and my staff had a blast. It helps that everyone who works for me is a 20-something, but even an older guy like me managed to let his hair down a little bit on the mic.“

“Had chicken fingers that were fresh cuts of chicken breast that melt in your mouth for lunch sonqe came back for dinner and the Cajun burrito that just left you wanting more and more.The brisket quesadillawas piled 2 inches thick of beat a fabulous flavor.Don't let the name of this place fool you! The food is better then any beer you e ever had.“
