The Vandy Bars

Sportman's ($)

No surprise here: Sportsman’s is the place to be on Tuesday nights. Thanks to this bar’s consistent crowd and fun atmosphere, Sportsman’s has been a Tuesday night staple since way back when the freshmen still lived on main campus.

Sam's ($)

Sam’s is a great sports bar to check out on a slower weeknight. It’s on the card, which is a major plus, and it features two-for-one drafts on Tuesdays to compete with the infamously crowded Sportsman’s.

Wild Beaver ($)

Wild Beaver might be the most average bar I have visited throughout my time in Nashville. So much less offensive than McFaddens, but not on the level of Dan McGuinness and Hollywood Disco.

McFadden's ($)

McFadden’s is the scourge of the Vanderbilt bar scene. This sleazy “Irish pub” wannabe features expensive drinks, inconsistent ID policies, an extremely inconvenient layout and an invariably heavy population of locals.
