Santa's Pub

"Santa’s is a Wedgewood-Houston beer-only karaoke bar in a double-wide trailer that’s permanently decorated for Christmas. Frankly, enough said, but we’re not done telling you why we love this old-Nashville institution. It’s named after the owner, who is a bonafide Santa look-alike, and the whole place is built on a culture of respect: no cigarettes, drinking, or cussing when you’ve got the karaoke mic, people. The camaraderie in this little place is pretty unmatched—pick a hit and you’ll soon have the whole trailer singing their hearts out along with you, and maybe even the occasional celebrity (Ed Sheeran and Kacey Musgraves have both been spotted here). Drinks-wise, expect the basics: PBR, Miller Lite, Budweiser, plus a seltzer and cider option. The bar is cash only but there’s an ATM outside, and there’s a modest cover on the weekends, but that’s a small price to pay to be a part of Nashville nightlife history.

"With $1-2 domestics and the largest library of karaoke instrumentals, there is absolutely no excuse to not end your night at the world-famous Santa’s Pub. Don't be deceived by this seemingly small double-wide trailer, fully dressed in Christmas decor. Here, it’s not uncommon to find well-known celebrities singing along to their favorite Creed and Nickelback ballads. Keep in mind - Santa’s is cash-only but has an ATM right outside the entrance.

"No list of best dive bars in Nashville would be complete without the legendary Santa’s Pub. A Nashville staple, Santa’s can sometimes veer a little too touristy to be considered a dive bar. But the truth is, it’s as dive-y as you can get. It’s housed in a double-wide trailer with a cash-only bar, and some of the best karaoke in town." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff

"Nashville Santa’s Pub remains one of Nashville’s weirdest and best dives. This Christmas-themed double-wide trailer is decorated with holiday spirit all year round—and by holiday spirit we mean twinkly lights, karaoke, cheap beer, and an owner who is the most Santa-looking man we’ve ever seen outside of a mall. The crowd’s an interesting one—you’ll find the Wedgewood-Houston cool kids downing beers next to the Brentwood soccer moms. And it all just works, especially in December. " - team infatuation
