The Villager Tavern

Dive!!!

This place rocks get the beer!

Miss Ann's gumbo is the very best, Toby will take care of you at the bar.

Came in on a Sunday after brunch across the street. Place was packed. But never once did I feel neglected or unnoticed by the bartender. He was in overdrive to create a really comfortable atmosphere, playing brilliant music, doing tarot readings, singing happy birthday to the patrons, and busting out the dog bowl teeming with beer for the bday person to drink out of. 10 out of 10 experience. I felt comfortable and at home and I want to keep coming back. It was one of the best bar experiences I’ve ever had in Nashville.

Best Gumbo I’ve ever had. Would take a photo but it was gone way too fast!

My first dining experience … during the 2024 Nashville ice storm. Absolutely order the gumbo and chili!

One of the last real dive bars I’ve been to in a while. Where the place feels like a community to all who visit. Great drink specials all the time, with higher quality options if you want to spend a little extra on something more rare and refined. I came for good food and cheap drinks, but didn’t expect the service and atmosphere to be as great and unique as it was. We came there to cap off nearly every night, while on a trip. Not a place I will soon forget. God Bless

Awesome little dive close to my hotel. The kind of place you can just sit down and have some drinks. I didn't have any food but the food I saw looked really good. Friendly staff as well. Wish this place was in my home town, I'd be a regular!

A great unpretentious and friendly bar with a great beer selection close to the theater
