Wilhagan’s

Seriously? How did this dump get a good rating? Must be false reviews.
It’s basically located inside of a seedy business park.
The building was obviously an office building in the 60’s or 70’s.
It is dark, filthy, smelly and dilapidated inside. Definitely local yokels hang out here.
The dude rolling a joint out front was a nice touch as we left.
Absolute shit hole…
Absolutely avoid this dump!!!

The bartenders treat you like family and their food is pretty good. The best bar you can eat drink and play darts pool volleyball at. If you don’t like crowds come here. And bring friends

What a great hidden treasure. Glad to have found it. Great positive energy in this place.

Great staff and the pizza is ⁹⁹⁄₁₀₀ times GREAT (and yes, I had it that many times). Poker games no good as small chip stacks and you’re just playing «luck» vs. skill. But if you’re out for poker then you really aren’t reading this…

Very nice to play some free poker on Thursday nights. They have 2 games and there are some pretty good players.

Great place and friendly service! Try the pizza you won’t be disappointed!

Jerk wings, jerk wings, jerk wings… Seriously delicious spicy goodness that equally burns your mouth as it sends some kind of message to your brain to eat more.
I really wish this place was closer… take those insane wings and add excellent drinks, friendly service and darts and you have a very memorable and fun spot.

Ahhh, the Winchester. A friend of my husband’s told him about this bar several years ago. They went a few times then my husband got the rest of our group to go. Ours friends spend a lot more time there now than we do (trivia, poker, etc) but I miss our nights there. There is such a mix of people that frequent Wilhagen’s and seriously, the place is like Cheers. There was a period of about a year that I didn’t go and the first time back the manager, Marie still knew who I was!
The smoke definitely was a problem but the past few times I’ve gone it hasn’t bothered me. They have some great drink specials and the most wonderful bar food.
Ben, you said it best. «The best dive bar in Nashville hands down.»

The best dive bar in Nashville hands down.

Wilhagan’s is about as dive bar as it gets with little surprises around every corner. Jam packed with lots of entertaining things to do, on a sunny afternoon you can partake in a good olé game of corn hole, or try your volleyball skills on their sand volleyball court. If you rather stay inside close to your food and your beer you could try your aim in a game of darts. Mondays they have corn hole and volleyball tournaments, Tuesdays is trivia night, Wednesdays Wilhagan’s is home to dart leagues, Thursdays it hosts free pool, ladies night, and volleyball games, Fridays drink specials run until 10 pm, Saturday brings karaōke, and finally Sundays is writers night and there are drink specials from 5pm — 10pm.
Their food is slightly above average bar food with their jerk wings heading the pack. Their servers tend to be pretty friendly, however their bartenders, not so much. Being a dive bar and all, I wouldn’t expect anything great from their cocktails, but they can pour a beer. It’s also home of the Nashville Men’s Rugby Club socials so if you stop in there on a Saturday during their season you might be able to join in some rugby debauchery. Now, its biggest downfall: it’s absolutely horrendously smoky. Wilhagan’s is a friend’s favorite bar, so I do tend to end up there at her behest, but usually wake up feeling as if my lungs have collapsed. If it wasn’t so smoky I would say that Wilhagan’s is about as good as it gets in the dive bar department, but alas it is super smoky, so it loses major points. It would get 4 stars, but the smoke made 1 star die of a lung related disease, and as such only 3 stars were left alive and breathing.
