Hey there!

The Santa’s Pub you know and love is here to stay. A cornerstone of Nashville nightlife and one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, the bar will continue to uphold the legacy of Elmer Denzel “Santa” Irwin, who passed away in 2025 at the age of 75.

​

Everyone’s a star at Santa’s. Tourists and locals alike know it as a place that feels like home. The dive is a rare slice of Old Nashville where the beer is cold, the karaoke is loud, and the welcome is genuine. With so much of the city changing, fans can rest assured: this one’s here for the long haul.

​

Just remember... beer only, cash only, no douchebags and no cussin' on the mic!
