Built by locals.
Kept current by locals.
Real menus. Real prices. Real local knowledge. All in one place.
The Local Round is a free, community-driven guide to Nashville's happy hours, restaurants, bars, and neighborhood favorites.
Our goal is simple: make it easier for everyone to find great places and know what to expect when they get there.
And we believe the best way to do that is together.

Before I called Nashville home, I spent three years traveling here for work.
Whenever I had some free time, I'd try to find a good happy hour, somewhere to watch a game, or a restaurant worth checking out.
The problem wasn't finding places. It was finding reliable information about them.
I'd find outdated menus, happy-hour specials that no longer existed, or restaurant recommendations that told me everything except what I actually wanted to know.
But there was one source I could almost always count on: the locals.
Bartenders, servers, friends, and people I'd meet around town always seemed to know where the good deals were and which places were worth visiting.
Eventually, I moved to Nashville. And I started thinking:
Why isn't all this local knowledge available in one place, where everyone can benefit from it?
That's where The Local Round began.
A community project, not just another directory.
Every day, people all over Nashville are reading the real menus, catching the new specials, and finding out which happy hours quietly changed.
Most of that never leaves the table. We want to put it where everyone can use it, with locals helping keep it current.

Shared by locals. For Nashville.
The details matter.
A $5 margarita isn't much of a recommendation if it actually costs $12 when you arrive.
That's why we're focused on real prices, actual menus, accurate schedules, and transparency about where information comes from.
- Real pricesPosted prices, never a guess. If a venue doesn't publish one, we don't print one.
- Actual menusFrom the venue itself, not a delivery app.
- Accurate schedulesHappy hours and hours by the day, on Nashville time.
- Where it came fromClear about our sources, and when the details were checked.
How we check
We research venues, review official menus, visit establishments, and check details directly whenever possible.
As our community grows, we want locals to be able to see the menu photos and source information behind the deals they're browsing, including when that information was collected.
Fair warning
Of course, restaurants change their specials, and no guide can guarantee that every price stays the same. Community submissions also need to be checked, rather than automatically treated as verified facts.
But by working together, correcting mistakes, and making information easier to verify, we can build something genuinely useful.
Help us build something better.
The Local Round is still young, and there's a lot more we want to accomplish.
We're not trying to have the final word on Nashville's restaurants. We're trying to create a place where Nashville can share what it knows.
Whether you're a lifelong local, new to town, a bartender, a restaurant owner, or someone who just discovered an incredible happy hour, you're welcome to contribute.
You don't need to be a food critic. You don't need a following.
Sometimes all it takes is a photo of a menu.
The more we share, the better this gets for everyone.
Dakota
Hi, I'm Dakota, a Nashville local who loves discovering new places, finding a great deal, and building things that make everyday life a little easier.
I started The Local Round because I wanted a better way to explore the city I now call home.
But I don't want this to be just my list of favorite places. I want it to grow into something Nashville builds together.
Thanks for being part of it.
