I have no idea why anyone goes out in Cool Springs, but everything about going out in this area is sad. You are greeted by a cover charge that is always different, ranging from $4-10. You usually listen to a band with drowned out vocals, but I guess this doesn't matter if you are drunk. The crowd at this place is terrible. Since everyone knows you should not go out in Cool Springs, the only people that visit this place are people that are clearly too old to be going out. To me, its sad to see a crowd of people over 35. Its also sad to see women in their 50's dancing. Of course, you cannot knock a place for the people who go there, but in a bar, that’s half the fun. So, if you are old, and are seeking an older crowd, you've found the place. If you are younger, and want a more lively crowd, and a better band, go to the Tin Roof in Nashville. It is probably my favorite hangout spot around. They usually have a great band, playing good music. The only thing that bothers me about both Tin Roof locations is their foolish attempts to get rid of the crowd by turning on the lights at an early hour. As the other reviewer has said, the Cool Springs location turns on its lights by the time I get my first drink. The Nashville location has been known to turn its lights on full blast an hour from last call. Also, live music, especially at the cool springs location, stops long before last call. Bottom line: Do not visit the cool springs location unless you are old. And no matter what, go early.
Pros: one of the best bars in Cool Springs (that doesn't say much)
Cons: old crowd, closes early, turns lights on to get people to leave
