The best bars for meeting people in Nashville
Whether you’re single and ready to mingle, or just want to chit chat while you unwind after work, these are some of the best bars for talking with people!
A few months ago, I polled my Instagram followers to ask where the best bars for actual conversation were. Every spot on this list received multiple recommendations.
I can’t personally vouch for all of them (I did get a date at Mother’s, but he was 24, and I am…not. lolol), but I can present the info to do with it as you will.
- Barrel Proof – Germantown
- Cherrie’s – East Nashville
- Embers – 12 South
- Jonathan’s (this is the Germantown location specifically; not sure about the other locations)
- Lakeside Lounge – East Nashville
- Mother’s Ruin – Germantown. I strongly recommend during the week, unless you’re under 29. And watch your drink.
- North Italia – Green Hills, but I bet Cool Springs would be good, too
- Otto’s – Sylvan Park/The Nations
- Red Door Saloon – probably all the locations? Midtown, East, Donelson
- Sperry’s – happy hour at the bar is the place to be. Belle Meade and Cool Springs.
- Villager Tavern – Hillsboro Village
And here are a few more recommendations, but only one person gave the suggestion, so keep that in mind.
12 South
