I’m trying to be less of a curmudgeon about the accelerating change of Nashville, but it’s a relief to still have a spot that feels familiar. Village Pub is one of those places for my husband and me. It’s not that they haven’t changed at all. The pub team expanded the outdoor seating, for one — a big plus. But the menu, the vibes, the dark wood interior and warm lighting are still the same as they were a decade ago when I used to come here with my slew of college roommates for Mule Mondays and pretzel burgers — and I’m grateful for it.
