Red Door Saloon

Nashville


A hard-drinking dive bar at heart, Red Door has an extensive beer and liquor selection, and a bar menu featuring staples such as nachos, hot dogs and assorted 'steamed' sandwiches. You'd be missing out if you didn’t take the house shot: tequila chased with Bloody Mary mix and a pickle. Oh, and there’s a skeleton beneath the floorboards – true story.

Red Door also has a location in East Nashville, where the clientele has a slightly more hipster bent. Search for 'Red Door Saloon Nashville' on Facebook.
