Dino’s touts itself as being the oldest dive bar in East Nashville. While it may not look like much on the outside, it’s definitely worth the visit.
Dino’s is known for their late night scene. They specialize in greasy cheeseburgers and fries while serving drinks from their beer-only bar. Fun fact: Dino’s is owned by the former owner of Burger Up, if you needed any more incentive to try one of their burgers.

If you’re a morning person, there’s options for you too. Dino’s serves brunch on the weekends, dishing up everything from huevos rancheros to hot chicken french toast (which is amazing).
Space is limited, so get there early if you want somewhere to sit while you eat/drink. Or, if you’re just looking for food and don’t care about vibes, you can call in to-go orders and eat your cheeseburger wherever! One of the many other things that makes Dino’s special is their support of local artists. The bar has featured small bands and comedy shows throughout its history. You never know what you’ll see when you go!
Dino’s hours are 4pm - 3am on week days and noon to 3 am on the weekends. Plus? Every hour is happy hour.
It can get a little tight, cramped, and warm inside, but if the weather’s nice be sure to order a bucket of cold brews and head out to the back patio.
