I love visiting broadway when I’m in Nashville! The energy is always amazing & I love to catch a vibe and relax when I’m there. It’s peaceful , full of music and amazing people . It’s def one of my favorite get away destinations! There’s always places to go and things to see.
Broadway is always great place to visit while in Nashville TN.
Music club with Cajun cuisine & blues presented 7 nights per week in Mardi Gras–themed surroundings.
Absolutely loved this place. The music was incredible and so fun. Definitely recommend getting there early to get a seat. We had great seats on the top floor looking down from the railing. Service was good and the 1 waitress was doing amazing. I loved that she straight up told us, if its too busy just go to the bar and order a drink instead of wait for me. Shrimp was delicious, my only complaint, I wish it came with more! I devoured them.
We loved this place! It's a place for real people who like blues music live, regular priced drinks (not rip off), quality service. Food looked good (from what we saw - we had already eaten). Band was great, stage setup and acoustics well done. Our server literally hauled a$$. She could run a fortune 500 company - did everything in her head, managing multiple tables with serious hustle. Great positive attitude. This was our favorite by far in Nashville.
Hip bar & live-music venue featuring Southern-inspired food, local/regional brews & outdoor seating.
Went with friends last night for the first time. SO MUCH FUN! The nachos and chicken tenders were good. The live music was fantastic. Our server took excellent care of us!! Definitely going back!
This is a great spot for good food and excellent music! We really enjoyed the burgers, they were big and filling. The service was fast and efficient. The acts on stage played a good mix of original music and covers. All and all, we had an amazing time.
The band was lively and full of energy! We really loved singing along with them while we ate dinner. My husband ate the Turnin'me on brisket tots and thought it was a pretty cool southern twist on poutine and delicious! My daughter had the Trash talking taco salad which was way too big for her but she loved what she could eat. I had the chicken wings without sauce and the house made tots. These were the best wings I've ever ate in my life!!! Tasty and juicy!!!! And I came back this time for the tots that I've had before, that should say enough. ☺️
Went on a Wednesday night when Ms @thelifeofgracia was performing. Really good vibes all around from the band and the audience (interactive, joyful). Gracia performs on Wednesday nights and she is so good. The band was also so talented and they played many audience requests. Band chemistry was so on point for them to slay every song. I don’t like country music but it was a fun experience and an integral part of Nashville night life. 🎶🎤 At first glance I was not interested in the food menu and wanted to eat elsewhere but we felt guilty since we got seated so we just ordered a couple things. I’m glad to have been proven wrong. The Nashville chicken waffle was incredible. It was hot, sweet, crunchy, soft—all at the same time. It was pricy ($28) but dare I say worth it. 🫣 Service was meh but it was also hard to talk and hear anyone due to live music.. but it’s ok. Rooftop access available but we didn’t check it out because we wanted to keep exploring the city. Out of the hundreds of bars with live music, I’m glad to have visited this one. Probably the best vibes-wise. Other places had dead crowds and made me feel bad for the performers 9/10 (+ points for Nashville night out experience, which outweigh - points for how expensive everything is)
After a terrible experience at Nudies next door we walked out and came to Friends in Low Places where we were greeted warmly right away. The staff made sure we had a fantastic time from start to finish. The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and the music created the perfect Nashville vibe. Truly one of the best experiences we have had in the city. Highly recommend stopping here.
Great! Great! And great! Loud, fun, and energetic. The chicken tenders were really good. I was so surprised because they were better than I expected. Lots to see and do.
Vibrant, rustic tavern with mounted animal heads, offering beer, cocktails & a lineup of live music.
Can’t describe how great this place is. Unbelievable. As an old heavy metal junkie I walk in and hear the band Ballistic and they play all the great 70, 80’s and 90’s hard rock that only a metal head can truly appreciate. Great service, great music. Thank you !!! I’m sure they have other great music genre’s play there also. But Ballistic made my day!
The drinks... so good! I would also say they are strong! Enjoyed our time listening to music and sipping signature drinks! I loved the cherry limeade and orchard punch. My husband loved his winter wonder mule. I'm not a fan of ginger beer, but he said it was great!!
Honky-tonk featuring live country bands & a dance floor by a large mural depicting music icons.
The Stage is my Absolute favorite place to party on Broadway!!! I’ve gone in groups and solo. The entire staff from security to bartenders are all about entertainment and safety. The musicians are always Fantastic and the Jello shots are Great!!! I’ve been coming to this venue since 2018 and it’s always had true musicians host each floor so I know the Stage is where it’s at. Great rooftop overlook to cool off and just overall an Awesome place. The selection of artists definitely reflects on the clientele who attend and I can tell you the crowd is mostly folks looking for Good sound and a place to have fun. Not rowdy and crammed with trouble. Came in Saturday and caught the Aaron Patrick band on the second floor. Such Amazing talent and definitely kept the vibe going thru the night. The band is on point and harmonious as a group and you can feel it through their 🎶 🎼 🎵 Luv the Stage and Thank You for always entertaining us!!!
We stumbled upon The Stage in Broadway and was an amazing experience. The drinks were plentiful at a reasonable price. We were able to grab a table right next to the stage and the band Jered Ames was an amazing talent. Very entertaining and going places in country music. Then something happened, Craig Campbell and his amazing daughter Preslee Campbell came and sat with us at our table before taking the stage. Both did very well and it was amazing to see someone that's played at the Ryman perform at The Stage in Broadway again. Both were very nice and it was our pleasure to meet them both. The next band was NCB and they did very upbeat music and put in a great show! A truly magical last night in Nashville for all of us. I highly recommend this place! Thank you.
Great location, my new favorite place in Nashville ❣️ Great country music, fun acts that interact with the crowd without begging for money for a popular song... boring tactic...can you please play good country? We will gladly buy drinks, tip the waitress and the act!
Super cute! Love it! The honey hot wings were so good!!! Only complaint was service was slow.
Bustling 3-story gathering place featuring traditional pub eats & regular live country music.
Lively bar at night. Not sure what it's like during the day. There several musicians that come come and play live music. They have a roof top for the warmer weather. Plenty of tables and bars inside. They get overly crowded at night. Drinks were good, but priced high. Bartenders were attentive.
When in Nashville, Honky Tonk Central is a must see. Reasonable priced drinks and food. We enjoyed an appetizer sampler and fried pickles. Price was right on for above average fried food. Service was good and well taken care of. We caught the tail end of a live band and traveled back down Broadway.
This historic watering hole and prototypical honky-tonk is across the alley from the Ryman.
Yes the staple you know it to be. We were fortunate to be able to get a table. Usually there is a long wait. Very friendly staff and great service here too. Great live music as you would expect. 🎵 🎶 Another must see bar when in Nashville 😁
Always a fun time! Every visit to Nashville must include a stop. Inside and out, a great place with a super staff. Did not eat here. Great views and a perfect place to meet new people and 'people watch'...some crazy good times happening all around you!
I came for happy hour on 6/29 to get lemon drops which is advertised as $5. So when I order the bartender says “actually its 2 for 1” okay so false advertising but I was already there so Im like whatever. Why did these two tiny lemon drops come to $30 during happy hour? I got scammed pretty much lol. I just read the owners response to another complaint “u still in my spot tho,” so he/she will probably respond rudely and unprofessionally.
4.5 stars. You know it’s going to be “interesting” when you get searched before entering the club. Nevertheless, we obliged and entered La Danse where the bass was pumping, people were (dry) humping, and hookah smoke filled the room. Essentially an all black crowd, we had no issues nor received any unwanted attention when we made our way to the bar. The bartenders were speedy and friendly. A few drinks and a recommended hookah mix of blueberry watermelon (totally amazing and delicious!) made for a solid finish to the night. The music hits hard and lyrics can be quite explicit (think Cardi B’s WAP). The crowd is free and loose as we observed much grinding (think Next’s Close or R Kelly’s Bump and Grind) too.
This long-running, multi-level hangout features live music & a roadhouse vibe, plus a rooftop bar.
Nursing Asheville is an incredible spot—5 stars all the way. The energy is vibrant, the crowd is fun, and the music keeps the place alive. If you’re looking for a lively night out in Asheville, this is the place to be. The drinks were great, the staff was friendly, and the overall vibe made for a memorable experience. That said, just a heads-up: it gets really loud inside. If you’re hoping for a quiet conversation, this might not be the best setting. But if you’re down for dancing, socializing, and soaking up the party atmosphere, the volume just adds to the fun. All in all, Nursing Asheville knows how to bring the good times. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town and ready for a night out with high energy and good people.
Really fun bar. The service is great! A shout out to Shea. She is amazing, outgoing and personable. We also met Tyler, the manager, who was great as well. If you are looking for a place with excellent service and good music, check it out! Be sure to say hi to Shea!
Large, 4-level venue serving Southern staples such as fried chicken plus TVs, live music & beers.
Ill start with the bad and finish with the good. The mozzarella sticks were the worst i have ever had. Im guessing you could probably get better ones at 7 eleven. The sinks in the bathroom are weird and I watched 5 people try to figure out how to turn the water on. Three people walked out without washing their hands because they couldn't figure it out. Luckily I realized how it worked so I could wash my hands before going back in to the public. They had no draft beer because apparently their coolers were down so the beer wasnt cold, I really just wanted draft but I suppose things happen especially in a busy area like this. I got the hot wings and they were pretty good the waitress tried to talk me out of them becauseshe said they were to hot. I wish she wouldnt have because I would have gotten the ring of fire and not the hot because the hot were not that hot in my opinion. Im not saying I won't come back but I probably won't recommend it. Well as im writing this someone pulled the fire alarm so no one can hear anything but this loud alarm. What a great experience
Don’t get why this place doesn’t have better reviews online. Which I guess makes it better because it’s never truly packed. The food here is amazing. More specifically the ring of fire wings! Best and hottest dry run I’ve had in my life! Great atmosphere, great service, fun games and bowling to play. Live music upstairs. Been twice this week. Will come back 10/10
This was a very nice venue!! I saw Hayden James here and all the music was very good. The dance floor is a nice size and there's a couple bars. The restrooms are also nice and well kept. I would come back for more concerts here.
I went to see Danny Avila last Saturday night, the cover charge was $25 per person plus expensive drinks as well which was okay at first but then I noticed the bartender at the first bar(tall girl with a bandanna on her head) was EXTREMELY rude to me every time I would go up to the bar to order. It really put a bad taste in my mouth and we ended up leaving early, she gave us the ugliest looks and just did not seem like she wanted to be there or even help us with our drinks that were 17 bucks a piece. We were really disappointed after that and will most likely not be returning or recommending this place to any friends or family
Got in line right as they opened so when we got in, it was pretty dead and it was all drunk old people dancing. Stayed for about 15 minutes but the place wasn't filling up so we left. It would have probably been a lot more fun if there were more people and we had gone later.
At first it was okay. Only $5 to get in and we were let in pretty easily. We got there about 9pm and started ordering drinks. The music was peetty good. However, me and my husband spent the night enjoying our selves listening to music by the bar. At about 12, i went to order another drink but the blonde girl mixing them ignored me and a bouncer came up and told us to leave because we were too "intoxicated". We were confused as we werent doing anything other than standing at the bar listening to the music and just conversating. But they escorted us out like we were fighting or something. It didnt make sense and overall ruined the rest of the night. We felt singled out and we couldnt figure out what for.
They closed down for a few months to let the negativity and bad energy die down but they are back open and have the same security guards who are unlicensed who will fight and gang you, they take advantage of drunk people, they let certain people in with guns. This is not a safe or healthy environment to be in. Your car will be broken into let’s not forget that. Who would remodel a place and bring the same energy broke low life bum project drug addicted people right back, what a fail. You can tell who truly missed this place. The people you see here you don’t see ANYWHERE else.
It’s after hours . You should already know what to expect.
This club is now worth 0 stars. It’s notorious for firing and banning girls over petty and frivolous reasons. They will cancel your contract over minutiae. Now, there are good dancers left, except for low/class street walkers, addicts, and old vets who refuse to retire. Anyone who was great looking, and made lots of money or made the club entertaining, has had their contract cancelled or terminated for trivial reasons, and obvious jealousy. The club is terrible now after letting so many high quality dancers go. It’s low-quality now, and you’re better off simply going to a regular club or bar. (This message is not open for replies.)
I paid for a private room/dance. Was told I would be served liquor. Was told dancer would be naked. Dancer remained fully clothed after me asking about it & gave me 2 miller lights instead of the Jack Daniels I was promised. Won’t be going back again. Paid $200 to be lied to, given poor service & no one made it right at the end of the night. Take your business elsewhere.
