Smith and Lentz Brewing
The Green Hour
The Patterson House
The Station Inn
One of the last bastions of old Nashville that locals still frequent despite the influx of tourists, The Station Inn is without a doubt the best place to hear bluegrass, roots music, and Americana in the city. Inside the worn stone building you’ll find cheap beer, folding tables, mismatched chairs, and a sea of red-and-white-checkered plastic tablecloths that prove this venue is charmingly frozen in time.
3 Crow Bar
3rd & Lindsley
A local favorite, 3rd & Lindsley hosts musical acts from around town and around the world. This no-frills venue has ample room for dancing, and also has a full lunch and dinner menu, in addition to a full bar. For some of the best bets for musical events in town, 3rd & Lindsley is a must.

Bearded Iris Brewing
Betty's Grill
Broadway Brewhouse
Brother Wolf
Teleport to Italy at this cocktail bar specializing in aperitivo cocktails, with an inventive selection of Negronis and spritzes. There's an inviting menu of antipasti and pastas, or move next door to their sister Italian restaurant, Osteria Stella.
Craft Brewed
Crafty Bastard Brewery
Helping to lead Knoxville's charge to compete with Asheville's beer scene, this scrappy brewhouse opens its garage doors to create an indoor/outdoor scene that often includes live music and sometimes even pick-up basketball games. It's all washed down by a selection of small-batch brews heavy on sours and hoppy IPAs. There's a second taproom on the west side of town ( 9937 Kingston Pike).
