Best Sports Bar in Nashville - Jonathan's Prime Locations
Finding a sports bar in Nashville is easy. Finding one that treats you like family, pours a cold beer at a fair price, and still puts real food on the table is a taller order. That gap is exactly where Jonathan's Grille has lived for more than 25 years.
We opened our doors back in 1999 as a family-owned grille with a pretty simple goal. We wanted to give people a better place to catch the game, one that did not cut corners on the food or the service just because there happened to be a TV over the bar. A quarter century later, that idea still runs the whole show.
Today you can find us at eight spots around the Nashville area, so there is a good chance one of them is close to home. Every single location comes with 55 TVs, a full bar, and the kind of welcome you would give a neighbor who just pulled into the driveway.
Why Locals Keep Coming Back
Plenty of places will show you the game. Fewer places make you want to stay for a second round and dinner. Here is what sets us apart:
Two rooms, one roof: a lively bar side with enough screens to catch any league, plus a calmer restaurant side that works for date night or dinner with the family
Food worth showing up for: hand-battered wings, smash burgers, flatbreads, fresh salads, and steaks that go well beyond the usual bar menu
Service that remembers you: our teams tend to learn your name and your order, and that goes a long way
A schedule built for fans: open late every night of the week, so the good times do not stop when the fourth quarter ends
No matter the sport, the season, or the team you root for, you have got the best seat in the house waiting.
Our Eight Nashville Area Locations
We have grown across Middle Tennessee over the years, and each spot has its own regulars and its own personality. Here is where to find us:
Cool Springs: our Franklin location right off the interstate, roomy and easy for a group after work or after the kids' game
Brentwood: a comfortable go-to for a laid-back dinner or a Sunday spent parked in front of football
Bellevue: one of our longtime homes on Highway 70 South, a favorite among regulars who really do feel like family here
Mt. Juliet: our Providence spot that keeps the east side covered on game day and every day
Murfreesboro: plenty of screens and room to spare, which makes it a natural for Blue Raiders fans and big group events
Germantown: our close-to-downtown option for folks who want the game with a little city energy around them
Hendersonville: a friendly pick just north of the lake for wings, cold drinks, and good company
Spring Hill: the south-end favorite where the happy hour crowd knows the bartenders by name
Wherever you land, you get the same menu, the same wall of TVs, and the same easygoing feel.
The Best Happy Hour in Town
Now for the part our regulars talk about the most. Every Jonathan's Grille runs a daily happy hour that actually feels like a deal, not a gimmick. Whatever the reason you are stopping in, we have got food and drink specials to make an ordinary weekday feel a lot more like a Friday. Look for:
2-for-1 beers: order one, and the second is on us
$8 appetizers: from our signature Bam Bam Shrimp to fried pickles and queso, there is something for the whole table
$7 mimosas: made for a slow, easy Sunday brunch
Ladies' Night: one more reason to round up the group in the middle of the week
Pair any of that with a game on the screen, and you have got a pretty perfect afternoon or evening on your hands.
Come See Us
Nashville has never been short on places to eat and watch sports, but there is a reason the same faces keep filling our booths season after season. Good food, honest prices, and a staff that is genuinely glad you came in still count for a lot around here.
So next time the guys want to watch the game, the family needs an easy dinner, or you just want to knock out the work week with a cold one, swing by the Jonathan's Grille nearest you.
Can't make it in? You can always order online and bring the game-day food home.
Come for happy hour, stay for the game, and see for yourself why we have been Nashville's spot for over 25 years. We will save you a seat.
