Only went once, but want to go back. The chorizo scramble tacos are great. Plenty of booze to choose from as well. Good happy hour prices. Place is small, but quaint. There’s also a pool table

I always have a good time at The Cobra. I really miss their pinball games they used to have tho... I really like their big outside patio. Staff is always nice and fast!

One of my favorite live music venues. Good food, 2 stages, pool tables, darts, & outdoor patios. Rock & roll will never die!

Cobra is an East Nashville staple. Great prices, great patrons. And if youre not sure where to go for a good show just stop in because chances are youll make a new best friend and find a new favorite band.

Dont use a debit card at this place. Theyll do a $20.00 pre-authorization charge on your card, on top of the price of your drinks! Best use cash so they cant screw you over

I went to see a friend play a show over there tonight and I enjoyed the show.I had never been to the place before but it was nice. It was a different kind of atmosphere and was different from what k know, but it was cool.The people were nice and helpful when we were asking about where my friend was performing and I liked it

Funky little bar! Stayed for a couple of cold ones while cooling off from a very extensive bicycle ride. Loved the brunch made out on the patio, super cool!

Great bar with a fun dive atmosphere and a room full of old arcade games. I was here recently for a concert be out back and absolutely loved it.

The service was wonderful, but they added a ZERO at the end of my tip and I didnt notice until I checked my bank account this morning. Ended up paying 20 extra dollars because someone thought I wouldnt notice. Will not be returning

This is my local. I absolutely love it at this bar. The staff is cool and the art cant be beat. Pool is only $1 a game so its cheap enough to play 9-ball! The outside deck / smoking area is equipped with a bitchin heater. The breakfast burrito is on point after a night of drinking.

I go to concerts here a lot. The staff is really friendly. Promoters are kind and easy to work with. Music, man, they get great bands! Ego Likeness, Rain Within, Becoming the Devourer, Adoration Destroyed, Spider Lillies, and other Goth and underground, alternative and other genres too. They do benefits occasionally and I really like it there. The stage is small, the actual venue part of the club is good for crowds of less than 200.It has a good goth scene when we are there, but thats not their constant crowd. Keep an eye on the website to see whos playing...

Great Dive bar, cool back patio. Just went from non-smoking to smoking. Live music almost every night, cold beer.

Love this bar. Depending on the night it can be easy breezy or busy. Have shows almost every night. Have a lot of free shows during the week. They do an open mic comedy show on Sundays. Pools tables, Darts, huge patio, and a taco shop are some of its features. You could have a drink and just get lost in it.

Review №31

Saw some bands on the small stage and had a good time. Drinks were reasonable (I think $5-6 for whiskey and coke). They have a fairly big free lot behind, which is hard to come by sometimes.

A few months ago, I would have recommended this place because of the atmosphere and the food. I cant anymore because the owners decided to fire the sexy lady running the kitchen. She was not only a great cook, offering restaurant quality burritos and tacos but also was a ray of sunshine. For any of the regulars who miss Suzie and her food, I am happy to tell you she is running her own kitchen. She has a page on Facebook. Check it out. As for this bar, I say find some where else to drink.

Really interesting establishment! It has a bar with a small stage for performances. It also has a dedicated game room with pool table and arcade games (pacman and pinball machines). There is an ATM inside. It also has a separate larger stage for paid gigs. Sound system was good. Would definitely go back for another show!

There are good local bands that come here all the time.The problem is that the live mix is really, really loud. So much so that it tends to obfuscate what the group’s are actually playing.Bring earplugs.

Saw MDC here on a Monday night, fantastic way to kick off a vacation and start a road trip. Excellent stage and bar area. I really enjoyed the massive cobra mural on the side of the building. Handy outdoor smoking area. Only thing i noticed slightly off was that outside around our car and the back alleys were a number of suspicious looking prowling people. No problems though. Thanks for the entertainment

Love this bar and venue! Always an excellent time and you never know what incredible live music you are going to hear there. Great service from the bartenders. Reasonable prices. The food at the Tiny Kitchen is fantastic! They have tacos, burritos, quesadillas, street corn, burrito bowls and more. Ingredients are always fresh, homemade sauces. I recommend the tilapia fish tacos, beef brisket burrito with chimichurri, pulled pork burrito bowl with avocado cream sauce, and the chipotle honey grilled chicken quesadilla!
