Make friends with the tattooed set at the pool table and then grab a cold one on the sprawling outdoor patio, where if you follow the Christmas lights, you’ll find a small window that slings mouthwatering Mexican fare into the wee hours.

Whether you’re craving a killer live show, a round of pinball, or a late-night quesadilla, The Cobra’s got you covered. Welcome to the Cobra, East Nashville’s rowdiest and most beloved dive bar. When you spy a technicolor turquoise snake cozied up to a can of PBR, you’ll know you’ve made it to rock and roll heaven. However, beers are an astoundingly low $3 a pop (and served out of what looks like your grandmother’s refrigerator) so you’ll be able to afford all the liquid courage you need to get up there and belt out your favorite Garth Brooks or Boys II Men with the best of ‘em. They also don’t serve cocktails (or even liquor for that matter). The furniture is mismatched and stays true to it’s trailer park aesthetic. Despite its ability to draw music legends, don’t expect any frills. This Christmas-themed diamond in the rough caters to locals, tourists, and celebrities alike (a short internet search reveals both Justin Bieber and Kid Rock as fans). That’s right- no tabs, no credit cards, and no shame. A dive in the truest sense of the word, Santa’s is cash only, located in an actual trailer, and serves up the rip roarin’est karaoke this side of the Mississippi seven nights a week. If you’re looking for one of the weirdest, wildest nights you can have in the capitol of country music, look no further than Santa’s Pub.
