Red Door Saloon East

07/06/2008 Posted by Idena

I usually visit on the weekday when I really want/need to unwind. Don't go here for a full meal. It's a bar in every sense of the word. The atmosphere is friendly and the bartenders that I have come into contact with were great!! I love to sit on the deck with my drink and my chips n dip; chilling out.

Pros: Great neighborhood spot, great atmosphere

Cons: Deck can fill up fast

This place used to be my favorite bar in Nashville and it still is on certain nights. The crowd and the bartenders really make or break this place. There are a few bartenders here that are the best in Nashville and a few that are the worst. Additionally, it can get unbelievably crowded, noisy, and smoky. I usually stay away from this place on the weekends and go during the week.

Pros: good bartenders, good atmosphere, awesome juke box

Cons: can get crowded, can get noisy

If you're tired of all the yuppies at 3 Crow, this is your place. The locals keep the jukebox honest... you won't find any Creed or Christina Aguilera here. The bartenders are the best in town, and it seems like it's always 2-for-1 over there. It's no frills, which means you shouldn't expect great food. What you should expect is local color and strong drinks... even though it's relatively new, it feels like old East Nashville, the hip part of town that no one knew about.

I just moved back to Dallas after a year in Nashville & I will miss the Red Door East more than anything else in Music City. The bartenders are great, the hot dogs are amazing, the juke box never disappoints, & the drinks have plenty of booze in them.

Pros: Jager is the house wine...

Cons: Parking...sometimes...

Great jukebox. Diverse crowd. Cold Beer. Cool Patio. Fun Times. Service can be a bit slow, but that's usually because of a crowd.

Pros: Great Location

Cons: Bar can be a bit slow at times.

Get on your knees and look! Everyone has. What a great place to brings someone new to Nashville. Very casual bar with a good atmosphere and a lot to look at. They have an awesome HOTDOG menu with every type of dog you can think of, I had the Jamaica Dog. I have been to both locations and one if my party was asked to leave (He was being very rude!) and the rest of us stayed. Don't come to Nashville for a drink and miss this place!

Pros: Fun and good crowd

Cons: Parking, when is that not a problem?

The crowd is here is pretty chill. No one gets stupid. The drinks are nice and stout and the staff is great. You might even run into Zakk Wylde here!

Pros: great bar

Cons: East Nashville

This is for Missydan123. You should know what your talking about before you speak. If the bartender was rude to you at closing time it's probably because you were not making any attempt whatsoever to remove your person from the premises. I'm pretty sure you are completely ignorant of the laws here in Tennessee (no one but the bar staff is allowed in a bar after 3 a.m.), after that you risk some pretty hefty fines. You also state that it happened to you at the other location as well. In my humble opinion, if it happened at one location from one bartender and happened at a different location with another bartender, then honey, don't you think the problem lies with you? I don't work at either but am familiar with most of the bar staff and they are amazing. If you would learn to listen maybe you wouldn't have so many problems at bars. Bartenders don't make the laws we just have to enforce them and since it isn't your livelihood at stake we don't expect you to understand. Don't hate the player, hate the game. As for the parking problem....WELCOME TO NASHVILLE!!!!!!!

Pros: Fun Fun Fun!!!!!

Cons: Hard to find if you don't know where it is.

At closing time instead of asking you to come back again. The bartender starts yelling GET OUT!!. What part of GET OUT don't you understand! Go somewhere where they appreciate your business not here. Same goes for the other RED DOOR on 19th. Parking is terrible at both of their locations.

Pros: none

Cons: bartenders, parking, location
