Teddy’s Tavern officially opened its doors to the public on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, in the former Pancho & Lefty’s location next to Rippy’s and across from Bridgestone Arena. This neighborhood bar and restaurant concept comes from The Nations Brewing Co., which includes Fat Bottom Brewing, Music City Beer Co., and Bravazzi Hard Italian Soda. While most locals might avoid Broadway, Teddy’s Tavern strives to be a fun gathering spot downtown for Nashvillians to enjoy without the touristy atmosphere. Nashville Guru stopped by to get a look inside.
