The History

We opened our doors in 2016, but Dee’s is a good old fashioned venue that feels like it’s been there for decades. The decor is reminiscent of bars in the ’70s. Just good old fashioned dives where you could hear classic country tunes on the jukebox, see amazing bands, and folks are happy to chat. We serve up classic cocktails, house-made signature cocktails, cold beer, tasty snacks, and live music. You can play a game of darts or pool, sit outside by the fire-pit, hang on the front porch or chill inside while listening to one of the many talented bands.

 

Our faithful and die-hard regulars make Dee’s the happy place we call our second home, and lifelong friendships are forged here. We fly under-the-radar and cater to “our hood.” It’s that spirit and commitment that people recognize and we were named one of the top 10 music venues in Nashville by NPR. We have been featured in Esquire and Rolling Stone Magazine and are known for an adventurous booking policy that embraces talent from across the globe — as well as local acts from down the block.

 

We can’t wait for you to drop on by — Amy Dee

Giving Back Programs at Dee’s

Dee’s CCL absolutely LOVES to give back any chance we can. Since we’ve opened we’ve held several fundraisers, toy drives, and every anniversary we select an organization to donate our silent auction proceeds to. So far we’ve raised money for many local charities, such as Music Health alliance, Southern Alliance for People and Animal Welfare, Nashville Pet Community Center, Australia Wildfires, Charleyville Organization, and Tornado Relief for the March 3rd, 2020 tornado that destroyed many parts of our beloved town.

Thanksgiving has become one of our favorite holidays to get our community together and feast like you’ve never done in a bar. We make several turkeys, sides and our friends bring loads of home-cooked meals to share, it really is a sight to behold.
