have been coming here forever, but won’t ever be back after last night. my friend parked in the lakeside lot, walked over to my car so i wouldn’t have to walk in to the bar alone, and then we went directly in to lakeside. we spent 2+ hours in there, went outside to leave, and my friend’s car had been towed by the owner roughly 20 mins prior. while we were literally sitting inside buying drinks. apparently he assumed she went to another bar because “somebody saw her go into another establishment” which she did not. at any point. we asked him to pull up our tabs which would show us having been there the entire time. (security and bartenders agreed we’d been there) but the owner was incredibly rude and essentially said “we thought we saw her go into another bar. not my problem. too bad.” and refused to reimburse for wrongfully towing a paying patron. wasn’t planning on spending $200 for parking where we were designated to park! so be careful if y’all plan on coming here— your car might not be outside when you leave. :)

The guy who works in the kitchen was horrible. I ordered two burgers and two fries. I asked for an extra ketchup. Keep in mind the ketchup they give out is half full. He was crazy upset about the request. People like him should just find a profession that doesn’t involve interacting with people. Make sure to check your tabs. The bartender tried charging us a random charge for “soda water” … just be aware they will add random charges to your bar tab and the guy in the kitchen is miserable. Much better options in town. We plan on making an announcement to our HOA and to the greater Nashville community this place is not to be trusted.

If your black I would advise you to go elsewhere. Met a friend there last night for food and drinks. She got there before me and told me they immediately offered her service. When I arrived they took turns looking at us but no one offered service! Other people walked right up and got service and we still got no service! I stood up ( we were sitting at the bar and even attempted to get there attention and they continued to look right over us for 30 min! Finally the female reluctantly came and took our drink order. I felt like I was stuck in a scene from the 1950’s! Made me feel horrible. I tabbed out and we left to goto five points and went to “ beyond the edge” and received great service and food and drinks!

  • Invincible Aliens

Been going here for over a year and have seen it change a lot. Was a dive/biker bar but has now become a bachelorette bar. After a year of being a patron and recognizing bartenders for a year the bouncer (tall and blonde) bent and pulled my Washington ID. I’ve been here well over 100 times and was turned away. Telling my friends to not come as they have had bad experiences with this bouncer as well. I understand taking care of your place of work and being careful (you have to be) but breaking IDs isn’t cool. To be clear, he flashlighted and scanned it. I offered other things but he wouldn’t accept it. I even said to ask the bartenders. Nothing. I’m beyond upset I lost my favorite bar.

Izzy, the bartender at Lakeside, is a true master of her craft. Her skillful mixology, friendly demeanor, and attention to detail make every visit to the bar an incredible hang. Cheers to Izzy for creating unforgettable experiences and crafting delicious drinks!

I've been here before to watch football but I'd never eaten here, glad I finally did. There are a few things I'll try wherever I go, onion rings and a patty melt are two of those things. The onion rings are hand battered and absolutely fantastic! The patty melt was simply amazing. It's literally in my top five of patty melts I've ever had. Amazing sandwich. They also have a dipping sauce that is legit. Glad this joint is right down the street from my crib

  • Kathleen Spicer

Lakeside Lounge certainly hits all the marks when it comes to execution, layout, space, decor, and drink options. However, I was underwhelmed with it as I think it missed the point of why people (or at least I) like going to dive bars: cheap food and drinks. The ambiance was right on, but for the price I would rather go to sister bar Attaboy. That said, I didn’t get a chance to partake in the Beggar’s Banquet, which I hear is a real steal.

  • J.T. Crawford

We popped in to Lakeside Lounge in the early evening, looking for a bite to eat and some drinks before a show that night. We were not disappointed in our choice. There are plenty of drink options. And there's a decent menu of bar food. The smash burger was delicious. And the prices on everything are great. The staff was super friendly and helpful. It's kind of a dive bar, but a great one. We'll certainly go back.

  • Mat Lake

Chose Lakeside to watch the Super Bowl, and it was couldn’t have been a better experience; chilled, none-too busy (though I bet it’s a different story on a Saturday night), good and cheap beers, food was more than decent and the decor / vibe were superb, loads of TV’s too I could happily lose days in this place, and fully intend to return whenever in town It’s a super example of a neighbourhood dive bar

  • John Mark Williamson

The atmosphere was good but the pricing was ridiculous. For a vodka redbull they charged it separately. $9 for the vodka and $6 for the redbull. I would be more okay with it if they gave you the can with your drink but they didn’t. Not to mention the glass is very small. So you’re really paying $6 for a sip of redbull. I come to East to not pay Broadway prices… and Broadway still gives you the can.

  • DJJ

There are only two things needed to justify a five star rating here, ice cold Coors banquet in a frozen mug for $2 and BokBox - a perfect combo! The Coors is pictured below, unfortunately we ate the BokBox too quickly to snap a picture. In addition to those two great things, the bartenders are lovely folks. BokBox is only available on weekdays until 3pm, but it's worth taking the day off for!

  • matthew schmitt

Every time I come into this place I am overwhelmed. If there was a god and he intended on giving people an oasis in which to enjoy, its this place. You can’t smoke inside and the Miller lite is only 5 dollars. Great happy hour and beautiful bartenders. Thank you lakeside Lounge for giving me a reason to live. Also the bar back with all the tattoos is my hero and super cute.

  • J C

Went here after a concert at Nissan Stadium. Great for late night drinks and food. The place was really busy at midnight. The atmosphere is very cool and it gives off that authentic vintage dive bar feel. One star off because the food was just "OK" - kind of your standard food service frozen fry-food. Drinks were fine. Service was acceptable given how busy they were.

  • Brandon Wright

Food is good, but sometimes they decide to stop serving it early. Staff is nice. Drink selection is ok. Music is horrible and obnoxiously loud. AC is always broken by the games. The patio door slams loudly and sounds like it’s going to shatter every time someone goes in/out. I’ve been several times hoping to like this place but it’s just not a fun time.

  • Chip Goostree

You're old time bar inside a simple variety of IPA on tap the ole frosty on tap was just $2.00 a serving, which was a very good draft beer. Wings are different than you have ever had them, but where very good. A pool table and a place that you can throw darts. Free parking which is unheard of these days. What else do you need?

  • Kathleen Baldwin

The best dive bar yet. Their wings are fried not baked, yay! The prices on their beer varied for all pocketbooks. The food prices are very doable. We enjoyed the experience a lot. Great bartender, too!!

My friends and I came in for a short time. We originally went there to get some food and drink a bit. When we got there, it's a nice little dive bar. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed, but the bartender, Brandon was super nice & helpful. Next time I am in the area, I definitely will stop by again.

  • Matt F.

This place puts the D in “Dude this place is fabulous” and also the D in “dive”. It’s a floor sticks to your shoes, the people are friendly and crude, and the drinks will cute you blues kind of place. The menu seems to change depending on the time and the day but the drinks are always on point.

  • Kathy Horton

4 people standing behind the bar doing nothing. You have to go to the bar and order everything with slow service then you have to pick up your food at the bar.Not thrilled about the menu very little choice. I will give them about a month to get it together and try again.

  • Gwyneth Yockey

you owe my friend 100$. SHE NEEDS THAT 100$ and it’s in terrible taste to not refund it. what an unreliable business to mistakenly charge the wrong card and not refund the money due to an employees mistake.

Prices are really high. $6 Miller Lights?? They didn’t even have my favorite beer, Dos Perros. Customer service was meh, the bartenders didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. Vibe was ok but I was bored in 10 minutes. Edgefield was so much better.

  • Josiah Clagett

I’m not going to lie - I consider myself somewhat of a wings connoisseur. Much to the dismay of my love handles - I’ve had my fair share of crispy orange perfectly engineered vehicles for God’s gift to earth: buffalo sauce. This sauce could

Best cocktails! We randomly stumbled across this place one night and had the most amazing experience of our lives! If you’re looking for a great cocktail, sick bartenders, and sexy vibe, this is definitely for you!!! See you there …

  • Bethany Spiva

Izzy is seriously the best thing to happen to bars in a long time. She told me about the nachos on the menu tonight and they didn’t disappoint! Come in and ask for her and get yourself a shot of tequila or whatever floats your boat.

Good food and nice staff! I really enjoyed the comedy open mic on Tuesday. I will be back. (FYI the parking lot is very small and hard to exit when it's full. Try to park on a street close by instead or Lyft there.)

  • remy sigel

Best French fry I have ever had in my life. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The ranch was homemade and possibly the best ranch dressing I have ever had. Only one star off for the 80’s sport theme.

  • Zachary Schuyler

They say they serve food till 1. Tried to order at 12:35 told kitchen closed. Loved Edgefield. Keep trying to love lakeside especially with the addition of buck hunter. Just keeps coming up short.

  • Travis Lowe

It was a fun spot to watch college football. Great chill vibe. Lots of TVs. Even the booths have their own TV. The food was delicious with big portions. I tried the loaded fries, salad and BLTA.

Stood at bar for 15 minutes. Bartender never acknowledged us so we left. Door man yelled at my wife for opening the door because he was cold. Not great.

Easy, clean, dive. They had my fav video game for a bad night at work, so I will be coming back! Also, darts and pool! I didn't eat, but they got eats.

Service was terrible, little to no AC on 100° day, food was burnt. Love me a good neighborhood bar so this was a big disappointment.

  • Jay Beckwith

Hands down best bar food in town. Always hits the spot. Ice cold beers and bar games. Literally cannot ask for more out of a dive.

  • Heather

Very young crowd and full of hispsters if that's your scene you'll love it here. Photo booth and ample dartboards as well

  • Daniel Sowards

Great place for rich people to come and cosplay as poor people. Doesn’t do any justice to the previous bar Edgefield.

Great environment. Went there with a friend and had a great time. Even forgot my ID and they brought it out to me.
