Great Bar with Great DJ playing Funky Remixes and Fresh Hot or Cold Sandwiches from their Deli Counter till 3 AM in East Nashville bit of a East Austin Bar vibe (from Texas) Awesome bar! Go here.
Old time feels, not overly crowded, felt like a locals spot. I'm all about the quick easy service and not having to wait as long as the downtown area.
I love Duke's with all my heart. The first time I had one of their sandwiches was after a super long shift at my job (I'm a cook in a fine dining kitchen). I hadn't got a chance to get groceries and I really needed something to eat at 1am. Another local bar stopped serving food and pointed me to Duke's... I usually go a few times a week!The cook who runs the kitchen is a darling and makes (imho) some of Nashville's most amazing sammys.Thanks y'all ?
Strong, cheap drinks. Sandwiches were WAY better than expected, and had high expectations. Will be coming back for sure.
The environment is lively, but there is a guy who works there who I believe to be afraid of money. I went to this location for their legendary sandwiches, only to find a bartender who was unable, unwilling to accept an order(this, I witnessed from his interactions with others, before my own). I witnessed the same gentleman get rude with customers ordering basic drinks. If you're already drunk and indifferent to quality of service, this place might be for you, but if you actually care where you spend your money, I suggest picking another place.
Great music and drinks with laid back vibes. Plenty of options for beer and cocktails. If you get hungry, just grab a sandwich. You'll fondly remember the Italian if you are a meat eater.
I would give 500 stars for that awesome sandwich if I could. Double pastrami with provolone and Duke’s mayo. I destroyed that beast like Genghis Khan destroyed the population of China. I don’t think I even gave it time to cool off. Just obliterated my tongue with the fire of a thousand suns as I hoovered that monument of meat down my gullet.But wait. There’s more.After eating that I ordered another sandwich that was equally delicious. London broil, Vermont cheddar and mayo.Also the guy who brings out the sandwiches is awesome.
The Italian sandwich was OUTSTANDING but I’d never return because the bartender was extremely rude and condescending. I can’t imagine why he would speak to customers that way when he works for tips. He should really get out of the service industry and Duke’s should have a higher standard for their employees.
Friday night DJ spins some killer tunes, all vinyl, sandwiches are great
Good local place to stop by for beers and good sandwiches. We got the pastrami and London broil sandwiches. Both were very good but the London broil was excellent. Overall good experience and would definitely come back.
