The Local
Neighborhood bar and restaurant known for showcasing some of Nashville's best local artists. With live music every night, it's a go-to spot for writer's rounds, artist showcases, and discovering new talent.
What to Expect
Dining tables wrap around a small center stage in a dimly lit room that feels more like a neighborhood restaurant than bar. It's a casual, no dress code, come as you are type of vibe. You can grab a beer on tap, can, or a stiffly poured mixed drink. The food is way better than any bar menu has a right to be. The wraps and club sandwich are solid, but make sure you grab the thick-cut fries. The stage is small but it stays busy, with live music running every night of the week. On any weeknight, a country star like Riley Green, Jamey Johnson, or Zac Brown might drop in for a few songs. When they're not on stage, you might just catch some local legends enjoying a beer and taking in the music themselves.
