A great time for all ages!!

by ELMadison

I recently came to town to visit my daughter who is in school, and she suggested we go to dinner at Dan McGuinness, we ended up staying all night!! I ordered an appetizer called Sausage n Batter which was fabulous and plenty of food for a few people and then I tried the Irish sampler which I ate all of even though I was stuffed!! It was great! I was impressed at how many different beers they had on tap. After all that food I didn't want Guinness and our server suggested some other fantastic beers instead. The service really impressed me, our server chatted with us suggesting other things in Nashville to check out. We stayed that night and listened to Irish music on the patio, which was a little rustic, but heated and covered for the winter weather. My overall experience at Dan McGuinness was top notch! I would suggest going there for anyone of any age. My daughter and I both had a stellar time! Most of all the charm of the pub and excellent service was memorable. The staff made you feel like you were a part of their family! keep up the great work!

• Pros: Service, beers, and great food
• Cons: patio was a little dirty, but still cozy and enjoyable

Best spot in Nashville!!!!!

by SKarson

I am a new resident of Nashville but have been visiting for years. I have been to Dan McGuinness when visiting, and feel so lucky that it is my new hangout. The food is fantastic, my favorite being the fish n chips, but other items on the menu are great when you are not in the mood for fried food. They also have healthy items like wraps and sandwiches, and of course excellent salads. These salads are not all wilty lettuce drenched in dressing, but you get a cold plate with fresh greens, ample toppings, and various homemade dressings on the side. The staff provides excellent service whether you are sitting at the bar or at a table. You can tell the employees there love that bar as much as my friends and I do. When you go to Dan McGuinness you feel like you are in a place that someone has taken care to handpick each item on the menu, as well as each friendly staff member that works there. I would recomend this Irish pub to visitors and residents alike. On the weekend there is a band on their patio and it turns into a fun nightlife atmosphere, but during lunch and dinner hours, it is great for a low key meal and a pint or two. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I do!!

Best Irish Bar in Nashville and Cool Springs

by DavidBowie

I have visited both locations in downtown and cool spings and have been very satisfied with the food and the service. The shepherd's pie and fish n chips are the best this side of the pond. They both offer music on fridays an saturdays ( Cool Springs) and Sundays (Downtown) with Nosey Flynn, the best irish duo in the south. Downtown has more of a bar feel and the party is on with live rock bands on friday and saturdays, while the cool springs location is a little more upscale but has a rockin karaoke on wednesday night. Above all they pour a perfict pint of Guinness. Plus the servers and bartenders are cute

• Pros: Beer Food
• Cons: Parking/ no kids
