Longtime bartenders Jesse and Tracy Hamilton opened this East Nashville hot spot in 2010. It’s located near the Five Points area in Riverside Village. With original hardwood floors, a loft ceiling and an indoor fireplace, the 1940s-style building that houses the pub creates an intimate, inviting atmosphere. During hockey season, Nashville Predators fans enjoy watching games in the hockey room while sipping on craft beers from local and regional distributors. A large wraparound patio with tall wooden tables and cocktail tables surrounds the pub, offering a great opportunity to people watch or take in the fresh Nashville air. But the pub’s true claim to fame is its unique selection of Stuffed Pretzel Sandwiches.
