Larry’s Restaurant & Lounge

The karaōke DJs are very nice. Extremely talented. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, one of the waitresses hated us and made it apparent by ignoring us the entire night. We are extremely generous tippers and very polite people. I guess we simply weren’t part of her crowd. Literally walked by us over half a dozen times and stopped to help everyone around but us. Unreal. Everyone else we encountered were very nice.

Extremely racist — they do not want black people in this hole. The owner put out a group of ten paying customers for being black!!!

Our favorite karaōke, dive bar. Most of the karaōke hosts are fun, upbeat & endeavor to get everyone on stage to sing. We enjoy weeknights more than weekends. On Friday & Saturday, it’s usually so crowded, you might only get up once to sing — long wait. This is one of those places that has a LOT of regulars — a very eclectic mix of people. There’s a small dance floor but it’s adequate for those who feel the inclination. Great place to take a group of friends for a night of fun.

Needs more seating. Every time I have been here with a group of friends we battle for a place to sit. The karaōke was fun, but one of the djs had no problem letting people sing a song that was already done that night. Who the heck wants to listen to the same song? Other than that this place is pretty cool.

Great happy hour and karaōke 7 nights a week! Awesome happy hour and staff. Best place for karaōke in Nashville! There is a reason this place has been around for 31 years!

My wife and I visited sometime last year and was treated like dirt. She signed up and never sang. I left a two star review originally but after an employee reached out to me about the situation, I’ll bump them to a four. That was really impressive in my eyes.

relaxed, chill, fun, good drinks, nice people.

Great atmosphere but horrible service. Was there tonight and loved the vibe of the place but the bartender was horrible. She spend more time in the bathroom with «friends» than serving. Then when the tab came she had someone else’s drink one ours. Sad because this place has great atmosphere :/

Good old Larry’s. haha. Such a fun karaōke place! We went on the 4^th of July and met some crazy characters there and had a total blast.
Deep fried classics, stiff drinks and genuine neighborhood comradery is the heart of Larry’s Restaurant & Lounge. Strangers mingling with strangers, people cheering on the underdog and a casual vibe that would make anyone feel at home.
We spent several hours conversing with a couple that had met online and was having their first date. They invited us into their booth as if we had known them for years. To return the kindness, we cheered Bubba and his girl on for every song after that. haha.
If you are looking for some karaōke with a lax atmosphere, then give Larry’s a try. We had a great time and I’d definitely go back.

It’s a dive bar. With karaōke. If you can get past the cunt-​y previous review, check it out. hilarious people watching and no one cares if you can sing or not.

DUDE. Duuuuuude. D u d e.
1. When I first moved to Nashville, some new «friends» (I had met through a friend back home) told me «Larry’s is the place to go» in Nashville. I was like «are you insane?»
All I could see was weird trailer park guys, clouds of smoke, tons of fried food, and pitchers of beer. My God. I moved from my small town to get away from that %$#, thank you very fuckly.
This was the ONLY type of place these two women wanted to go– all nasty fried food super-​dives, and only in Antioch. Larry’s was their Faaavorite.
Sweet Lord.
I was like… «Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not be one traveler, and follow both, long I stood… «AND GOT THE EFF away from chicks who only wanted to go Larry’s every weekend. !!!
Tough times. Tough times.
2. There are pics on the wall of Kelly Clarkson & Reba McEntire singing in this place (Kelly on several return occasions).
What doesn’t kill Kelly makes her stronger, haha, because this place is on FIRE with the smokey-​de-​chokey. When the door opens, the devil opens his mouth and thick, bilious clouds of smoke wend their way into the hell that already is Antioch. Good God.
3. The sound system is kind of nice, though. And the karaōke machine and people who run it are cool.
4. I actually saw a guy, dressed in cowboy boots, with long hair, and puffed bangs and a Bön Jovi tee, do «Wanted Dead or Alive,» non-​ironically, and very well.
:O
It is so weird, this bar. If you want to freak out, go. But you’ll only last an hour if you don’t smoke.
Also, guys will follow you out to the parking lot and tap on your car windows asking for your number or a date, etc, and also like to run after your car into the street. Be aware of the stranger-​danger element!
Update: apparently, I’ve been called the «C-​word» by reviewer LindzB for posting this review. Well, they don’t call Larry’s a dive for nothing, and I believe my description was accurate, even poetic («bilious clouds of smoke»).
You can talk smack about me all you like, LindzB, but I was trying to get out of being dragged into Larry’s EVERY WEEKEND. I did what I had to do to save myself from lung cancer. There’s nothing cunty about telling the truth; Larry’s is a hellhole among dives.

Dive bar that has been around forever. Karaōke 7 days a week (according to a sign posted at the bar). Kat (or Cat) the KJ, did a great job of keeping the rotation going.
I overheard Natalie, the barkeep, bragging about making the best Bloody Mary’s, so I put her to the test and ordered one. It was tasty and had green salt on the rim. Sitting at the bar, the people on both sides introduced themselves to me, so I knew this was a friendly place.
I hear the fried shrimp are pretty good, so I will have them next time I come by. By the way, smoking is allowed and 90% of the people there smoke.
