Mickey's is the East Nashville neighbourhood dive that's been pulling Nashville since 2008 — a no-pretensions corner pub with cheap beer, well-poured cocktails and one of the area's most-loved patio gardens.
The format is true neighbourhood-dive: cheap pints, simple cocktails, occasional live music in the back patio. Kitchen does burgers, wings and tater tots until 1am.
Night owls after a late burger should also try Dino's in Nashville.
