Losers fills up fast on game days. Reserve for a group of six or more. Walk in early on weekdays and you will find a screen with no wait.
Losers Bar and Grill is a sports bar in Midtown, on Division Street, built for watching the game with a crowd. Nashville Guru counts 40 screens across a room that seats around 300. There is no bad seat in the house, even when it is packed.
This is the spot for big group game days and for anyone who wants live music once the final whistle blows. Skip it if you came for a quiet pint and a long talk. Losers gets loud, and that is the whole point.
The name is the hook, but the room earns its reputation. It sits a short walk off Music Row, so it pulls a real Nashville crowd rather than only the Broadway tourist run. On a fall Sunday with the NFL slate going, every screen carries a different game.
The main room runs long, with the bar down one side and screens on every wall. SportsBars.com notes table side screens, so your group can pull up a second game without leaving the booth.
There is a patio out back for warm nights and a stage for the bands that play late. Sightlines are good from the floor and from the patio, which is rare for a room this size.
The layout splits the work. The front handles the bar crowd and the big screens, while the patio and stage area run the music. That keeps the game watchers and the song listeners from stepping on each other.
Industry folks and songwriters built this place. Owners Erv Woolsey and Steve Ford opened it in 2005 as a hang for music people, per Nashville Guru. Game days bring a mix of locals and visitors.
