Alley Taps

My girlfriend & I were on a weekend trip in Nashville and we really didn't have a set agenda but we knew we wanted to just grab a drink somewhere nice and cool. We stumbled upon Alley tap in Printers Alley. It was a nice vibe and not too busy inside. It'd be super fun to come there on the weekend when it gets a bit more busy, but it was nice for what we were looking for. For the drink we got whiskey cocktails and beers and it was just a fun time. They had some good music, the bartenders were nice and we were able to just sit down and just have a quick drink before we went on our way.

Great lil place in Printers Alley. It's dark inside but has a decent layout. There are some couches in an area on the way towards the restrooms. The bar area had a good seating as well as multiple tables. There was live music but the musician wasn't playing when we arrived and was actually on a long break (in my opinion). Once he did start playing it was pretty good. They had a good selection of beers and whiskeys/bourbons. The bartenders were friendly and we were served right away. I'd check it out again the next time I'm in town. Honestly, there are a lot of places along that alley and all had live music going on. Loved it.

There's just something about the sound of live music spilling out of a doorway in a Nashville alleyway that puts me in a good mood. Stepping into said doorway and being greeted by the resident bar dog? (I think her name was Lou Anne...) Well that's just the icing on the cake! Alley Taps is not an intimate romantic get away, and isn't a hipster kombucha pub, it's the perfect little Nashville dive bar, just a quiet hole in the wall to go in, have a beer, pet a dog, and have a great time drinking and listening to some good music. One of my favorite stops of the night.

Came here last year and loved it. Brought friends back to visit & the security guard was a complete jerk. We are over 50 and he was so rude. Don't waste your time. Too many other places to go

Head to Alley Taps when you're tired of the chaos of Broadway! We were looking for something quieter than the hustle and bustle of busy Downtown Nashville and we found it in Printers Alley. Mike was friendly and funny and we had fun joking and laughing with him. We'll definitely make this a must every time we are in Nashville!

Used to be a hidden gem; now it's robbery. 4 drinks; 76 bucks (Before tip) 2 Margaritas and two bourbon on ice (one was a double; Jack Daniels and not even close to two shots)It made me sad actually because I loved this place when it opened. The Marg was priced 11 bucks for the "well" tequila shot and 6 dollars on top of it to make it a marg. I'm sorry but it's not necessary and sickens me about the price gouging; ruined a great venue.

After four days of mediocre music and bars, finally, after long last, a local guided me to the Alley Taps. Good beer, great people and awesome music. You'd never know this place exists. It's down the alley and into this hole in the wall. But don't mistake that. This is the best place I've been to in this whole city. Keep on rockin'!

Decent little live music venue. We wandered in after hearing the performer walking by a little earlier. That duo (Dairy something...) was really good and we enjoyed sitting there listening. I got a glass of wine, which was nothing to write home about, but that's pretty much what you get at this type of place. Overall, I nice place to duck into during a walk down Printer's Alley

Visited here twice, once on Friday night when we started with a fiddle-guitar duo and also heard a classic country band.The next night we also heard a singer-songwriter duo and then ended the night with a most excellent cover band.Really loved the atmosphere and I would highly recommend you seek out this bar-venue in Printer's Alley when you're in Nashville.

Wifey and I came back for the music and 2-7pm happy hour. The artist are varied but you really get a good cross section of styles, talent and song writing. Alley Taps is a place where you can get a feel for "what it used to be like". Highly recommend.
