March Madness is in full swing.
And whether your team made the Sweet Sixteen or your bracket fell apart on day one... you're still going to have a good time watching the games in Nashville.
Because if there's one thing this city does well, it's turning a normal game day into something way more fun.
From packed sports bars to breweries full of TVs, these are some of the best spots in Nashville to post up, grab a drink, and keep up with the tournament.
Neighbors (Sylvan Park + Multiple Locations)
Neighbors is always a solid choice for game day.
The Sylvan Park location is a go-to, but with multiple spots around Nashville, it's easy to find one nearby. There are plenty of TVs, a good food and drink menu, and a crowd that's actually there to watch the games.
It's one of those places you can count on when you don't want to overthink it.
Double Dogs (Hillsboro Village)
Double Dogs is built for days like this.
It's casual, loud, and packed with TVs in every direction. The menu is exactly what you want for game day, wings, burgers, loaded dogs, and it's the kind of place where you show up for one game and end up staying for three.
Von Elrod's Beer Hall & Kitchen (Germantown)
Von Elrod's brings a different kind of game-day energy.
Big tables, big beers, and a crowd that gets into it, especially once the games get good. It's not your typical sports bar, but during March Madness it definitely feels like one.
Great option if you're going with a group.
TailGate Brewery (Charlotte Ave)
TailGate Brewery on Charlotte is a great spot to catch the games.
There's a lot of space, plenty of TVs, and good pizza, which makes it easy to settle in for a full afternoon. It's a little more laid-back, but still has a strong game-day feel.
Tin Roof (Midtown)
Tin Roof Midtown is where things start to feel more like a full night out.
It's busy, energetic, and a mix of basketball, music, and a packed crowd. If you're less focused on every play and more on the overall vibe, this is a fun place to watch.
Bottle Cap (12 South)
Bottle Cap is right in the middle of downtown, and it brings that classic Nashville energy.
With multiple levels and plenty of screens, it's a fun spot to bounce between games while still being in the middle of everything. It can get busy, but that's part of the experience, especially during tournament time.
Sonny's (Germantown)
Sonny's is a little more laid-back, but still a great place to catch a game.
It's more of a neighborhood bar feel, which makes it easy to hang out, grab a drink, and watch without dealing with huge crowds. A good option if you want something more low-key but still fun.
Streetcar Taps & Garden
Streetcar is another great spot to post up for the tournament.
With a mix of indoor and outdoor space, plus plenty of TVs, it's an easy place to spend a few hours watching games. The atmosphere stays relaxed, but still has enough energy to make it feel like game day.
Time To Watch!
March Madness in Nashville isn't just about the games, it's about where you're watching them.
So whether your bracket is still somehow alive or completely busted, these spots will make you forget about it for a while.
Grab your friends, find a seat, and enjoy it, because the tournament always goes by faster than you think.
