Loser's 2 Bar & Grill

Get a Root Beer Float shot, they are really good!

Loser's is a Country-Western bar in a commercial mixed-use development in the heart of Cool Springs. It's not hard to see why it does well; it has a prime location, there are plenty of hotels and office drones around, plus service-industry types, and LOTS of traffic. I've been in a couple of times, and I've never really been impressed.

The beer selection isn't bad, but the CO2 system is functioning poorly, if at all; all of their drafts were flat the last time I was in, and it was "acting up" the previous visits. I end up just ordering a bottle; at least they have real glasses here, unlike a few other Country-Western bars in the area...*cough* Tin Roof 2 *cough*

I finally decided to write this review because I finally tried their food on my last visit. I've always heard they had an excellent burger selection. About the burgers, I'll just say that you must remember it's a bar first, then a music venue, then a burger joint. Any place whose burgers are their third priority isn't particularly high on my list of great burger restaurants. My bacon cheeseburger was just okay, not excellent, but then again, I'd been drinking. It also was the first thing I'd had to eat in around 9 hours. My wife's chili dog was certainly a lesser rendition than I could've done myself, but I didn't expect much, so even that was a pleasant surprise, considering where their chili dog priority potentially lies.

The one real saving grace was the friendly and attentive service at the bar. They were always genuinely sorry about the draft system's malfunctions and never made me wait to order a drink; every time I've been there, no matter the level of business, I always am served in a reasonable amount of time.

In short, I'll never suggest Loser's as a place that I want to go hang out. The malfunctions with the beer system in a place that is supposed to be a BAR are enough to make me skip going. However, this is a very good friend of mine's favorite bar, so I'll likely be back. I wouldn't feel bad suggesting it to someone who is from out of town, staying in Cool Springs, and is looking for a downtown Nashville honky-tonk-esque experience. It certainly beats getting a DD or paying cab fare back and forth from Cool Springs.

Nice casual place to hang with your buddies or people from work.  They have great bar food with wide selection of beer.  Live band nightly and very friendly wait staff.
