Corner Pub at Midtown

Bartender was quite rude to me. Drinks are way overpriced. Took a while to even get service and they weren’t even busy. There are way more lively places close by with much better prices. The drinks here were more than they are on Broadway. The bar was nearly empty. No atmosphere. Only the regulars were hanging around here.

I know this property has been bought and not sure how long the restaurant will be open, but I had never tried it. When one of my once-​a-​month-​lunch buddies suggested it, I was game!
All I can say is «Don’t knock yourself out to get there” – the first and foremost negative is the cigarette smoke smell that has permeated the whole place! GROSS! And we are expected to eat there??? But, I was already there, so why not give it a try. My friend had the cheeseburger and she had had it before – knew she liked it – nothing special, but it was okay. I got brave and got the Bleu Cheeseburger – without the bun. The server must have been the only one there because we rarely saw her… she was more interested in flirting from behind the bar. Someone else brought our food and when it came, I looked at the guy and asked where the Bleu cheese was??? I was so hungry, that I was reaching for the homemade potato chips before he could even put my plate down. He made apologies, snapped up the plate and hurried back to the kitchen. I look down and then back up and here he was with a plate of chips to stave off my hunger! Good move!
The correct burger came out within minutes and it was passable – nothing great, but definitely not bad.
Didn’t have time for an extended meal so just paid and left – not sure the neighborhood will really miss this place… so many more places to choose from!

This place is ridiculous. Charging for two drink when you order one double, you get no buy backs after spending 4 hours ordering drinks and food. Happy hour my ass! This place really takes advantage. We will not be returning. My advice would be to find another place to watch the game. This place is stupid.

Awesome place! It took me a while to realize how great their food is as well as the atmoshphere. So stop, have a drink, have a smoke, and knaw on some good eats!

We were looking for a sports bar within walking distance of our hotel on West End and were directed here. As expected there are many TV screens and even a real dart board. Also many different beers to chose from. The food was as expected, bar food. Nothing great, but will satisfy your hunger. However, I can only give this place 1 star due to their poor service. This is while we were sitting at the bar. I have never seen more disinterested servers in one place!

Yuck. I was not a fan of the food here at all. I expected bar food, but I didn’t expect overly greasy gross bar food. I came here on lunch with a couple friends from work. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with fruit. Didn’t really care for the wrap. The fried pickles were good, but very, very greasy. I wouldn’t go back here. The server was very slow to bring out our check and to the food took forever. Everyone one of us felt sick after eating here. Not really sure why.

If you are looking for some good bar food, good service, and great crowd, this is your spot. I was actually visiting from out of town and dropped by for a University of Kentucky game watch party. I had been to the restaurant before, but only for lunch. We ordered the Hot Chicken Chunks, among other menu items, and they were awesome. They are a must try if you are a buffalo wings fan (they are a tad spicy), but don’t go in thinking they are exactly like buffalo wings — they are actually slightly different, and in my opinion, a nice change up. In addition to all the other good reasons I mentioned for visiting this establishment, I’ll add that they have a very high volume of screens, most of which are modern, so it makes for watching sports very convenient. In fact, while we were in the bar, I don’t think there was a screen that didn’t have the «big game» on, which made it nice to know you could sit wherever you wanted in the establishment and be able to see the game (they also turned on audio throughout the bar, which was also a big bonus). Good experience overall! Especially for UK fans!

Who would have thought a little corner pub in Nashville would have such a UK following? We watched the UK game here with friends who had moved to the area from Kentucky, it was a great atmosphere and fun place to watch the game. Chicken tenders are amazing! Buffalo chicken wrap was awesome as well. Everybody at the table enjoyed what they ordered, service a little slow but to be expected during a busy Saturday night. The crinkle fries are the only thing keeping me from giving a 5, personally I just prefer the traditional style. I will go with curly fries next time!

Good place to have a few drinks and watch a game. Decent beer selection and happy our specials. The food is just average bar food, nothing exceptional.
I was a little disappointed in one aspect of my service. When I ordered my first beer, the server asked if I wanted a bucket, which I declined because I didn’t plan on drinking that much. Inevitably, my binge alcoholism ensued, and I asked the sever is she could apply my first 3 beers to a bucket. She said that if I didn’t order a bucket, she couldn’t change the order. Kinda sounded like BS to me, but didn’t keep me from getting a little buzz. As advice, just order the bucket.

Sooooooo… they can’t serve 6 items on the menu because they threw it away??? Skip this piss — poorly run shitbox!

This is my go to bar. The chicken chunks are awesome. A good after work neighborhood bar. The staff is usually pretty friendly and fast.

I probably wouldn’t have come here on purpose, but I was meeting a group here to watch a game. It was a Sunday afternoon, so it wasn’t busy or smoky (as other Unilocalers have complained).
This place really is nothing more than your average watering hole. I think that the food may be the only thing that is a little bit above average. I asked the server if the wings were hot, and she said that they weren’t really. I asked if the guys back in the kitchen could make them hot, and she said, «I think they have ghost pepper». Now you’re talking my language! She asked if I wanted the sauce on the side in case it was too hot, and I said absolutely not. She looked at me like I was crazy, and maybe I am.
The wings did not disappoint. They were dripping with hell-​fire. They were the second best wings I have ever had (and I have had my fair share of wings in my time). I think they burned a blister on my lip, but it was worth it. I think the kitchen staff was amazed that I ate all of them. If the Corner pub didn’t have such awesome wings, I wouldn’t really have a reason to go back. I now may find myself coming up with an excuse to go there now.
Botttom Line:
If you are looking for a place with atmosphere then steer clear. If you want decent food (the wings) and decent beer, and a place to watch the game, then this may be your place. Pub = 3 stars | Wings = 5 stars

Two Words = Smoky and Scary

Corner Pub is a solid dive bar in Midtown. It’s nice to have options that aren’t super trendy or dressy, and Corner Pub fits the bill!
It gets super smoky in here, so to be honest it’s not my first choice, and I’ve never spent a long length of time inside due to it. But they often have games on and a good amount of seating. I really enjoy that they offer a decent tasting house wine for $ 6.50! Thanks for that guys.
I’ve never had food here, so I can’t speak to that and often just come in for a drink before passing on to the next bar. Maybe one day something will drive me to spend some more time here…

Pretty nice place to chill and watch some games or a UFC fight. Came in on a Saturday night and it was filled with UK fans watching the game. Stood around for half an hour or so before a table opened up.
Got some beer and burgers while I watched the UFC fight. Food is good, pretty smokey, but overall it was fun.

Their cheese tots are just what a girl craves when needing to soak up some of the nights festivities.
Stopped in here on Saturday after we had made some previous partaking pitstops. We decided on 2 more rounds, some cheese tots and a quesadilla. The beer was priced decent, the tots were off the chain and the quesadilla was definitely fresh and not some frozen garbage.
All in all, I think this is a pretty decent place. A little too sports heavy for my taste, but a great watering hole for anyone in the area.

Bar-​hoppin on a wild and crazy night in he area — this place had space and wasn’t as crowded as the other bars — this shoud have been a clue — but i proceeded to a table — the waitress was indifferent and a tad on the put out side. got our beer, drinks, and food… fish an chips– is a big basket of ore-​ida fries and two little bitty fish chunks… was with a vegeterian – she had to get order grilled cheese and baked potato — not much on the menu for her. The cheese dip was good but not enough of it — and my side salad was fresh and a great value at 1.99 – it was rather big too…
Then the rain started coming down and I was getting rained on… looked around other people were too… and not just a drop… the rain was hitting our food. not much was done…
they did not offer to move us — i moved myself… they just started passing out little beer buckets everywhre to catch the rain… i would think they could have offered to give a free appetizer or comp something — -
Won’t be going back unless I hear they water proofed the place. and got some servers with personality…

Even the most seasoned drinkers and partyers (spelling?) need to take a break for some grub. The Corner Pub helped fill the emptiness in my stomach with enough grease and non alcoholic drinks that I was ready to head out for a few more stops on the drinking expedition to this city.
Our group ordered the Big Brads Roast Beast ($ 8.50), the Chicken Quesadilla ($ 9 overpriced), and cheese fries ($ 6.50). The fries were not the best, as they use crinkle cut fries which I don’t like and the cheese was some bland orangish stuff. We also got a side of ranch for .50 which I guess is reasonable. So, overall an OK meal that settled our stomachs. Service was a little slow and not the most attentive.
*Happy hour is 3 – 7 M-​F and all day (½ off well drinks, house wines, and $ 2 domestic drafts), Sunday ($ 2 domestic drafts).

Simply put, I love this place. For those of you have not been back lately, the bar has a new GM, and he has a lot of industry experience. He is a professional, and isn’t busy fraternizing with the servers, which can often be the case with small pubs liken this. There was a short period of time when the place started to slide, but Yogi seems to have the ship back on course.
As pubs go, the service is the best you can find, and their food is above average for this type of joint. I think they have the best hot chicken in town and their wings are as good as any that I have found in Nashville. If Corner Pub would transition to a non-​smoking bar, I would give it five stars relative to their peers. I don’t go to the pub much during the week, but on weekends the place is always packed with a good crowd… Mainly young folks, but there are plenty of people from all ages.

Oh, Corner Pub.
Let’s be honest, my friends and I have been a rowdy mess there so many times, I’m genuinely surprised our pictures aren’t posted in a back room somewhere. Yup, we’re usually THAT table.
This spot is a favorite for Friday night (night starts at 4pm, right?) happy hour due to the location and 2 for 1’s.
The service is usually pretty good, but on busy Friday nights there have been a few less than stellar experiences. meh. I forgive them. Just keep the beer and cheese beans coming.
They allow smoking inside so beware if you are sensitive to that sort of thing. Or just have a few beers and forget about it.
They accommodate large groups — the side room you can reserve holds quite a few people.
If you’re looking for a quiet, classy after-​dinner drink or a gourmet meal, look elsewhere. This is just a place to forget about the work week and have one too many beers and one too many fried foods while staying in your budget.
