“Perfect dive bar. Decent prices. Good service. Good pizza. Lots of free parking. Bar itself is kinda midsized. Seats about 10-12 people, bur olenty of tables inside and out. Indoor smoking allowed. Local hangout. Just wish they had pool tables.“
“What an amazing spot. This is real Nashville and honky tonk. This is not broadway. It’s where the locals go with talented singers and song writers. Josh the owner/bartender was friendly and loves to smile! They also have the best trucker hats. Grab you one while there. Bring a dollar to sign and staple to the wall. Can’t wait to go back.“
“Fun dive bar. My band played here. The most entertaining part of this club is a toothless, mumbling hillbilly who is apparently a resident of the club. He talks gibberish to any and all during and in between bands. It must be seen to believed. Sound system is good, bartender was great.“
“Darion was an amazing sever !!! She was so sweet and very fun ! This was my first time ever at a bar and she made it memorable for me and the people I was with as well ! Without a doubt I will come back and request Darion ! She will be my go to sever whenever I come back in town !“
“I guess technically it is a dive bar, but it is not dark or dingey. They do have a full bar and a good drink selection. The food has been hit and miss and they seem to frequently be out of things. The bartenders are usually good and the service is pretty good. Check out this hidden gem (but don't tell anyone).“
“Four Europeans walk into a US biker bar…Not a joke guys, 1.5 weeks ago that was what we did based off of good reviews and being close to our sketchy af motel… and though I haven’t been to many biker bars in general, and even fewer in the States, there is no doubt in my mind Bikini Beach is the nicest of them all!! And we all agreed on this.We were even offered a drink on the house and one more by one of the patrons. I believe their signature frozen drink was called a Screaming Eagle (correct me if I’m wrong) and it is soo good and STRONG and the Philly Cheese Steak sando was worth every penny. Would definitely both recommend and come back In the pic I’m sporting the Bikini Beach signature branded black tee, which I may say is great! I’m 6’5, 210 in an XL and fit is on point.Thanks for everything to the lovely owners, workers and good folks at Bikini Beach. Hope to see you in the future!!“
“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.“
“This place is pretty decent for a dive bar. Service was a little slow, but the bartenders were very nice once they paid more attention to customers. The drinks were solid too and fairly priced; I recommend the daiquiri. The decor is all duck themed and they even have a Duck Wall of Fame which is fun. They also have a pool table and darts. It was a little hard to find, but look for stairs next to the hotel and go down those. Also, I felt like there was a pretty bad echo in there making everything much louder. Obviously it's a bar and it's going to be noisy, but the echo made it so I was yelling even though there were less than 15 people there.“
“I posted 5 stars atmosphere because it is a real good o'l bar days setting. Stains and nick on bar. A pay pool table. Great convention with bar keep."lola". Next door "attached" could be the best hot chicken in Nashville. Fabulous spices that doesn't make you wish you didn't order medium hot.“
“All three pool tables are solid. Plenty of clearance.On Friday night, there WAS karaoke but it never bothers. The disc jockey and dancing is separate from the gaming area.It was busy both nights I went in last week. Lotta friendly local folk enjoying libation.Top notch staff - Chelsea & Jennifer are terrific.Chelsea walked out from behind the bar to lay down the law on rowdy youngsters. I remain impressed, but fellas - what are you doing?All pool tables are taken. Name goes on the list. Only half my cider's gone before I'm called.No quarters or cash nonsense. The customer is charged according to how long they have the table. The staff keeps track on your tab.No fuss. Friendly professional staff.Clean billiards.“
“This is definitely a novelty of a spot. It let me tell you this is one you don’t want to miss if you love laid back karaoke. I found it on Tik Tok and had to see for myself what it was. After all if it’s good enough for Ed Sheeran, why wouldn’t you? So we went. And I loved every second of it. The bartender was the sweetest, the owner was charming and fun and no matter how bad you sounded, everyone had a great time. Don’t miss this place!“
“This is one of the few true dive bars left in Nashville. They get 5 stars because it executes perfectly on that old cheap bar straight from the 80's vibe. Tinsel and a sad little disco ball stays in the corner for the karaoke. The old TV's might have sports they might be off. Order the wings and listen to them sizzle in the oil as they drop them in straight from the Costco bag and then served with ranch right from a Kroger squeeze bottle. Burgers on a flat top frozen patties. Beer so ice cold it'll hurt your teeth. The crowd, well there probably isn't one but they are old timers who come in every Saturday like clockwork. It's the epitome of a small hometown bar and I hope they never change.That said they do now accept credit cards which is a plus.“
“True Score: 4.5 Stars One of the best bars in Nashville This is a fun dive. If you like karaoke with some crazy energy with decent bar food and even more decent drinks, then this is the place for you! Every walk of life seemed to be there. With a fenced in back area that is partially covered for smokers and vapers. Parking is weird but it seems you can park in the business next to it. Dark and a little divey, the bartender and regulars are on point with friendly attitudes and welcoming personalities. Love Rosies! Thanks“
“I get my haircut at the barbershop out front of this place and passed it a thousand times and finally stopped in after a haircut. As soon as I descended the stairs and walked in there was a table with 3 older white gents, one had a black eye. It's pretty divey. I'm a brown guy and was the only brown person in the joint. Everyone was friendly. Had a good time. They advertise beer only and limited food (pizza, corn dogs, wings, chicken strips, burgers, pizza rolls). There's one cork dart board, one pool table, 4 tvs, and a bowling/golf machine, and a juke box. They sell scratch off lottery tickets behind the bar Feels like I hopped in a Time Machine to the early 90's. This place says it was established in 1978 and they haven't changed too much since. 8.5-9/10. *Be advised* This is a cash only establishment but there is an ATM on the premises with a $3 fee. It's worth it because the beer is cheap.“
“My BFF and I were just there today (Oct 30). This place was really cool. The owner Fran was very sweet and kind, amazing to chat with, and had the cheapest beer in town! The place has some great pictures of artists who have played there, Nicole Kidman had a photo shoot there, and it’s home to an old originals cat tapestry.“
“Such a great vibe I got here! Can’t wait to taste the pizza! They definitely run a great place! If you’re looking for a good time and party hard come here and come hard! Shoot some billiards, hang with the locals, be chill and key it real!“
“Love Dives = A for the Villager I love the Villager. It's an old-fashioned neighborhood bar where you'll meet everyone from local shopkeepers to Vanderbilt University students. The beer is cheap and the company is good and I imagine it looks exactly like it did 50 years ago. Thanks“
“Stumbled into this place while trying to find a parking space for a "Big Name" barbeque place. So glad I did. The ribs were "fall of the bone" tender but I wish they were a little more spicy. The beans and slaw were great and the atmosphere was excellent! I would highly recommend! Oh, cobbler with ice cream made my day!“
“Got there about an hour before closing. The band really can play. And, the female vocalist has an awesome voice. She sang 'Crazy Train'....'Enter Sandman' and knocked them both out of the park. Good booze and great music. Band is very talented and versatile. Had a great time!“
“This place is fantastic! We had this place suggested to us from our hotel concierge while visiting Nashville from Wisconsin. We wanted to visit the real Nashville, not the tourist hype. Second we walked in all the bartenders were amazing, as well as the DJs. Instantly make you feel like your home! All the locals were great. They definitely helped us out on having the real Nashville experience! You feel at home in this place. I would highly recommend any day of the week!“
“Honestly, my expectations for the bar just from driving by it every day, were extremely low. I thought it might be a dirty, biker bar. So, we were kind of wary about what we were walking into when we went to watch the super bowl. BUT it's really clean and the service was great! They have good snacks and good prices and deals! They have so many games and cute bathrooms. The crowd skewed younger than I expected and no one made me uncomfortable. I actually really enjoyed myself! My ONLY cons were: - the audio during the super bowl kinda sucked, especially for the parts you wanted to hear like the halftime performance and the ads. I'm not sure how that can be fixed, but hoping it gets fixed before next year's super bowl. - the lock on the one working women's stall was broken“
“We spent 3 nights in Nashville this past weekend, our absolute favorite place for the atmosphere and karaoke was Lonnie’s! Great staff, fun stage, and decent price on drinks. We went back there all 3 nights. Stop by and say hi to Joe out front and sing a song or two with Brittany. Highly recommend!!!“
“Love the venue, however did not like the band begging for money. Was there Saturday March 16 but left after the band walked up to customers 2 time in one set asking each individual for money. Felt they spent more time begging for money than playing music.“
“A welcoming staff, when I first walked in to this local venue! Not only is the service quick and friendly, but also they make you feel like part of the family. Delicious pizza and pretzel appetizer and so convenient to visit, located right off Gallatin in five points. Can’t wait to go back!“
“Cheap drinks and food, great live music, fun and lively environment. Loved the smell of boots as we walked in the door. Service was friendly and fast. Music is high enough to hear but low enough to have a conversation. Loved this place and vibe.“
