Dino's Bar & Grill · East Nashville
Dino's is an East Nashville late-night dive known for cheeseburgers and a kitchen that runs late for the after-hours crowd.
Mickey's Tavern · East Nashville
Mickey's keeps the room dim and unfussy, with bartenders who can make a Negroni or Last Word.
Skull's Rainbow Room · Printer's Alley
Skull's is a classed-up Printer's Alley dive open since 1948, known equally for a strong pour and a surprisingly good lobster bisque, plus weekly burlesque and live jazz that keep the room lively. The Infatuation calls it a Nashville institution.
