I walked in and was ignored. I didn’t know how the place worked so I stood near the bar but not at it. Was not busy, yet no one talked to me. About 10 minutes later when my friend arrived we finally got a welcome. Food was bad, drinks were okay. Loves the interior though. Very cool place

  • Denise Snell

No pictures to show! But I highly recommend this place. Food was delicious and I am a snob! I had a custom made pizza and my husband had the French dip sandwich! Will definitely com back next time I am in town! Also they put my buddies game on for him so it felt like VIP service!❤

  • Cecilia Jaimes

LOVE THIS PLACE. We go to Nashville at least once a year and we discovered this place last year. The bartenders were friendly and the prices were awesome too. BUY ONE GET ONE FREE on most of the beers and shots we bought. We love this place because we feel so comfortable in there.

  • Noah Newton

Went here by accident. My fiancee asked what fruity drinks were available, and was just given a rum&punch. They had no menu available and didn't seem knowledgeable about drinks. Went across to the Rosemary instead, and was pleasantly served amazing food and drinks there.

  • Cathy Morris

We discovered this place as our "neighborhood bar" when we were staying at an Airbnb nearby. We loved it here. The drinks were strong and they also had beer specials. I loved the decor and the friendly people. We played alot of shuffle board! They also have good pizza.

  • Jimmy Harper

Always love it here!!!! Heidi and Rach are the best. Never a dull moment and the drinks are always full. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike! Thr food is just pub fare but it does the trick. There is a jukebox so you can listen to the music you want.

  • Laura Richée

Very busy bar. We got some food and it was actually pretty good. They had a good variety of drinks. But you can smoke in the bar and even with all the open air windows I still had all kinds of cigarette smoke in my face, which I didn't like one bit.

  • Backpacking America

The Red Door Saloon in Nashville is a quintessential dive bar with an unmistakable Southern charm. As soon as you walk in, the eclectic decor — a blend of vintage signs, antiques, and kitschy artwork — offers an instant sense of comfort and

  • Jolene Theresa

Came in here on a whim and had a great time. The bartenders were hilarious and helpful. They didn't get mad when we wanted to sample beer before buying it which is unlikley for busy bars in here. People watching was hilarious & they had the

  • Mitch Strange

I sat at the bar for nearly 45 minutes with other people coming behind me getting served in seconds. I tried to get the bartenders attention and they blatantly weren’t serving me based on the way I looked. This was the first bar of the day,

  • Oceanthebartender

Painfully awful service at this location. Red door has long been a staple among locals, but maybe some of that has gone to the service staff's heads. We came in on a Sunday for drinks which were unmeasured and very stiff, which is great for

  • H Duesy

This is my first review ever, had to do it. Worst experience ever. When we arrived at this restaurant/bar we were greated if you want to call it that by a door man picking his nose. He asked to see our ID. We are all in our late 50's early

  • Rachel P

This bar is hard to review because it’s technically two bars. You walk into the door to a cloud of smoke, a girl literally humping a guy, and two guys blocking your way with voices raised. At least that’s what my husband and I walked into.

  • Joe Johnson

Was here with a friend, we were talking to a stranger at the bar for a bit; witty banter. 5 min later my friend, blonde woman, wanted to call back to our conversation and said “sir” to get his attention since we hadn’t gotten his name. She

  • Gordon Mitchell

What an eclectic bar. Great place to watch your favorite sporting event, have some grub and grab a drink! The bartender is FABULOUS! My wife and I found this little joint in a very cool part of Nashville, we were very lucky! We watched the

  • Grey Groves

Not really the place for me but if you go to East on a busy weekend/holiday night and can't seem to get a drink anywhere else because of the crowds, Red Door will almost always be a quick entry and a quick drink while you figure out your

  • Joey

Swing by with my friend for late night sandwich & Drink... I definitely enjoy my time at red door saloon they are friendly and the food are so delicious j couldnt finish it whole but I bring home left overs and my buddy been come to this

  • Meagan

Some staff is extremely rude. I was sitting at the bar in a chair already there. An hour later a man approached me and told me I was in the way and needed to move. He didn’t have anything identifying he was a part of security, didn’t

  • Ryan Banham

Pretty rad spot in Five Points with a nice enclosed patio and eccentric decorations everywhere. I only had a cocktail which was a hefty pour for sure. No towels in the bathroom just those blowers. I really dislike that. Smoking

  • Andrew Oravitz

Talk about a place where the seating is made for you . Everything is on a level of comfort with laughter surrounding you . The Reuben sandwich one of the best I've ever had . We had a great time and plan on a return soon . More

  • Saed Madanat

There’s a short guy white glasses beard he was so rude to me and talked to me in disgust way! If he works for me or under me he will be fired. All people are the same no more the color or racist. And he was so racist to me.

  • Ashley Pochick

Great dive bar atmosphere! Elias, part of the Red Door team, is the best! He warmly welcomed us and was super friendly, professional & hospitable. Definitely worth coming to here for a good time, and great staff! More

  • Andy Hoogeland

Nice place for a drink, lots of locals enjoying a good time. Nice beer collection and nice bites to enjoy as well. Pleasant and friendly staff. Parking at the library parking place opposite the street is free...

  • James R Southard

Nice lookin' place, but I have to say, I've never seen a service charge for your liquor to be put in a glass with ice. I mean, the guy didn't even warn me about this charge, when I ordered a well bourbon. More

  • Melissa Hanley

Very friendly service, doing there best with the changes of covid! Delicious food. Three of us had their pretzel bites and the Chicago/Nashville dogs. Music was a bit too loud, though. Would go again.

  • Eric Merrill

Great local bar to grab a cold beer and watch some sports. They serve food as well, the hot dog creations are unique and they are all good. We didn’t have the pizza but it appears to be a favorite.

  • Benjamin Stork

Down to earth spot in a great location at five points. Often have 2 for 1 specials and their deck is perfect on a sunny day. Selection of brats and other delicious bar food doesn't disappoint!

  • Melissa Chilcoat

One of the coolest bars to go to. It was my first time, brought my friends from AZ. We loved it. It really felt homie. And not to mention Chicago is my team anything. Will definitely be back!!

  • Alexandra Price

Elias at the door is a ray of sunshine every time i come. Hes polite and cares about his patrons. The bartenders are also always so patient and make great drinks. Cheers More

  • Jaden Kenneth

Heidi took excellent care of us!! Best spot for a Turkey and Cheddar and a good beer. She took extra time to let us sample beers and find us the perfect one. Great patio!!

  • Goober “Goob”

Friendly atmosphere outdoor seating available. More of a younger crowd establishment. Constant music blaring which is okay if you have young ears. Party type atmosphere.

  • Dylan Dantzig

Didn’t let me in because I had a Tennessee temporary ID. The guy blamed it on the owners policy. Would rate 0 stars if I could. Obviously they hate outsiders.

  • Dakota Shanes

Favorite first place to meet up when going out in east. Good drinks and lowkey but you can have conversations without having to yell in your friends’ ear More

  • James Douglas

This place is awesome! Cheap beer, very friendly people. Awesome deck outside and a great place to hang out with friends. East Nashville is the place to be.

Wish we'd been able to spend more time here. A++ atmosphere, service was super friendly and welcoming. Great spot for an afternoon beer! More

  • Chey “Shineyshi” Ray

Really liked this bar, wish it was in London. Only downside is the margaritas are made with a mix. But this seems to be common in Nashville

  • Edward K

Great find on a quick trip to Nashville. A cool place with a good vibe. $2 fire sale beer. Excellent sandwiches. Friendly, attentive staff.
