An incredibly interesting place run by an equally interesting man nicked named Santa. If you are ever in Nashville then you must stop by Santa's Pub. I can promise you will have a great time and meet wonderful people. Plus, any place run by Santa is a must-see. Music by Lightnin' Hopkins - "Santa (Re-Recorded)"

Toward the end of December everything's covered in Christmas lights and tinsel, so you can excuse me for assuming that Santa's Pub on Bransford Avenue near Craighead was a seasonal spot when I drove by it on one of the last days of 2011. It's not. The mobile home/bar with floor-to-ceiling airbrushed murals of reindeer, candy canes and Santa on a Harley is open year-round. The above video was shot by Brian Hallett, and tells the story of the festive dive and its owner. If you're into eccentric roadside attractions, you've got to see this.
