There are some places in Nashville you just keep coming back to, and M.L. Rose is one of them. What started as a single neighborhood pub in Melrose has grown into one of the most well-loved local bar groups in Middle Tennessee, with locations now in Melrose, Sylvan Park, Capitol View, Franklin, Gallatin, Mt. Juliet, and Inglewood. That's not easy to pull off and it's worth appreciating.

The whole concept is right there in the name: good neighbor. M.L. Rose has always been about being a gathering spot for whatever the neighborhood needs, whether that's trivia night on a Wednesday, catching a big game, watching the World Cup with a crowd that actually cares, or just grabbing a cold beer on the patio on a Tuesday for no real reason. I've done trivia at the 8th Ave location, watched a basketball game there with my dad, and caught the World Cup at the East Nashville spot. Every time it's the same thing: the right vibe, the right crowd, and a cold drink in your hand.

Speaking of not spending a fortune, the Good Neighbor Combo is one of the best deals in Nashville: a small burger, fries, and a beer for $10. The burgers alone are worth the trip: big, well-built, and consistently good across every location. They rotate a Burger of the Month that always gives you something new to try, and with 36 craft beers on tap and over 80 available total, you're never going to run out of something worth drinking either.

M.L. Rose is the kind of place Nashville was built on before things got expensive and complicated. It's still here, still doing its thing, and still showing up for its neighborhoods the same way it always has. If you haven't made it a regular stop, there's a location near you with no excuse not to.

15% Off Your First Order of Fresh-Roasted Pods

Most K-Cups sit in a warehouse for months before they reach your brewer โ€” and you can taste it. Angelino's, a third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, does it differently: every pod is roasted, ground, and sealed fresh in-house, then shipped to your door within days of roasting.

Choose from 50+ specialty coffees โ€” single origins, dark roasts, flavored favorites like Jamaican Me Crazy, plus decafs and teas โ€” all compatible with your Keurigยฎ brewer. Mix and match any coffees you like, and watch the savings climb: bulk discounts start at 5+ boxes and reach up to 34% off at 12+.

And here's the best part: new customers get an extra 15% off their first order, on top of bulk savings. It's applied automatically at checkout โ€” no code, no subscription required. Free shipping on orders over $49 or 4+ boxes.

Fresh coffee shouldn't require a coffee shop.

๐Ÿ”Ž Last Eaten Review: ANM.L.- STYLE Burger

Listen, I forgot to take a picture because I was too busy eating it and that's really all you need to know. The onions and the awesome sauce make it. Every single thing on this burger belongs there and it all comes together perfectly. Pair with a cold beer and enjoy.

two smashed patties, american cheese, bacon fat caramelized onions, shredded iceberg, tomato, pickles, awesome sauce
