Pond

This is one of those lovable "dive bars" that the locals know about, but someone forgot to tell me. All is forgiven though. When you have a rough day and find a place at 1 am to have some drinks until 3 that is great. But I found the regulars friendly and welcoming, which tells me that it probably is like this every night. I'll be back to hear some music (perhaps even to play... seems a rock-friendly place), and I'm sure I'll have more to report. Now, how do you rate a bar like this? You know what you are going to get, right? Limited selection, loud music, sound of laughter... If that's not for you than a bar in a strip mall may not be for you.

It was a good night, the band was great, the music too, drinks weren't that expensive, but the service could definitely be better. We waited about 45 minutes to get some chicken fingers and some poppers, when we went to check on them, we realized they had forgotten about it. At the end the food was great, but again... service could be improved.

This little bar/venue's atmosphere is just right. It's not too crowded, and not so big that it felt cavernous. There is also a nice patio out back. The crowd was laid back and the vibe was good. The 3 bands I heard all sounded great. Dead Martinis killed their set! I had to travel a ways from north of Nashville to make it here, and it was well worth it. I will be back for sure.
