Heard a local band in Nashville lately? It is hard to find a venue featuring local talent these days, but that's what 12th and Porter is all about. Big name acts appear here, but it's the eclectic local talent that really packs in the crowds. And unlike some smaller venues, the sound quality is exceptional. There are no bad seats, and the atmosphere in this club is a lot of fun.
Back in 1942 this was Nashville's only billiards parlor. The hall underwent a massive renovation to restore its 40s decor. New Brunswick tables, 12 in all, provide ample playing space for beginners and sharks alike. If running the table makes you hungry, try the best red beans and rice this side of New Orleans. The kitchen also offers typical bar food like burgers and wings. Draft and bottled beer and mixed drinks provide refreshment while you put a little English on the ball.
With the recipe for success, the Tin Roof 2 in Franklin is laid-back, friendly, neighborhood establishment. Grab a group of friends and head here for a guaranteed good time with live music, cold draft beers and expertly concocted cocktails. You'll find hearty pub grub options like their 'pizzadillas' and build your own nachos dishes. Lighter fare is also offered for the health conscious, with salads veggie sandwiches.
Always filled with an eclectic crowd, Red Door Saloon's divey atmosphere, friendly bartenders, and specials offered throughout the week have made this place a Nashville favorite. The menu consists of the usual cold draft beer, tasty pub grub with gourmet hot dogs, wraps, sandwiches, and pizza, and creative cocktails like their pineapple infused vodka soda. While smoking is allowed in Nashville bars, the Red Door Saloon has a great outdoor patio for patrons to get some fresh air.
Margaritaville has everything under one roof. The restaurant has capacity of accommodating over 300 patrons, hosts live band performances at their music stages and also houses a playable piano staircase. In addition, there is gift shop inside the restaurant. They serve a variety of American specials; salads, Volcano Nachos, fried chicken, but their burgers are to die for. The place is a bit pricey but a huge meaty and mean burger is more than enough for a single person and you cannot tackle the towering stack of nachos alone. Cocktails complement the food perfectly and live music gets the crowd going.
