Babo is a corner bar in East Nashville run by a first-generation Korean-American family. We serve Korean staples made to share, eat with your hands, and chase with something cold — no fusion detours, no fine-dining pretense. Just honest food, a lively room, and a staff that actually gives a damn.
Stop by between 5–6pm for HAPPY HOUR: $4 drafts, $6 house wines, $10 pitchers of Narragansett.
Whether you're here for the kimchi hotdog, the glass noodles, or just a drink at the bar — you're welcome. Pull up.

Glass Noodle
I find myself daydreaming about glass noodles on the regular. So satisfying. So craveable. My husband knows better than to ask me what I want for dinner now, because he knows that glass noodles is always going to be my answer.
