Bars with the "Vibe" of Village Pub? Food | Bars

I am in love with Village Pub in East Nashville. After five years of going there every week, I'm looking to branch out and try to find some new hangout spots. Are there any places in Nash with a similar vibe that come to mind?

Here's what I love about it:

Casual, comfortable, friendly atmosphere
Minimal TV screens
The music is played pretty quietly in the background
It's a great place to meet a friend and have a conversation - not so loud that you can’t hear them or focus, not so quiet that you feel the need to whisper to keep from disturbing the peace
Bonus points if it has more drink options outside of beer (wine, cocktails, etc.)

Throw your favorite hangout spots below and I'll go try them out. Thanks!

Fleet Street Pub is like this. Used to be, anyway. Though the TVs do become important in the early mornings when the Premier League crowd is in.

Schulman’s and Roy’s Tavern are pretty similar. Roy’s has quite a few TV’s though. In WeHo Earnest was a good spot, its rebranding so it may have changed but it’s worth checking out if it’s back open

What’s the deal with the staff? Seem no better or worse than staff at any other bar in the city.

I miss when Roy’s Tavern was Henry James. Tho I do enjoy the new sport bar vibe they have now. The rotating menu gave the old Henry James a specific vibe that can’t come back.

Last I heard, Earnest will not be reopening nor will the rebrand happen.
