Folks say this smoky dive is Tennessee's oldest bar. We're not sure how to verify that claim, but true or not, how many dives provide a view of the Parthenon when you stumble through the door? Darts, $2 PBR beers, live music, a cigarette machine and the cash-only policy keep things real.
The Springwater recently opened a supper club around back to match its name, serving up a somewhat surprising menu that includes items such as coffee-crust kabob, coconut-curry mac 'n' cheese and spam ramen. Food is available from 6pm to midnight Wednesday to Saturday, and 4pm to 10pm Sunday.
