Suggestions for Music Venue near Nashville

Rex H. • October 9, 2011Look for any reason to attend a concert in this beautifully restored musical treasure, regularly cited as one of the best musical venues of its size in the U.S. No bad seats and incredible acoustics.

Nat A. • April 10, 2013An amazing venue built to rock! Intimate and cozy. Plenty of room to headbang...or whatever!

Stacey • April 23, 2016Amazing concert (coming from someone with no country knowledge). I would definitely return!

David S. • September 1, 2018Another great Nashville music venue. Great outdoor set up, you can bring chairs or blankets for the lawn. Get there early to avoid the security line.

GUY EDDY • September 23, 2011Gotta stop by Bella Caffe and try the chxsalad sandwich and columbian painkiller

Steve J. • October 26, 2015Great spot for some live blues! Does not have the greatest sight lines all over the venue, so get there early.

Channing L. • April 5, 2013They have hotdogs! What more could you ask for?!

Design*Sponge • August 3, 2014My favorite small music venue for an intimate experience. I’ve seen bigger names and lesser knowns play, and always feel there is something magical about the place (upstairs is Grimey’s record store).

Hannah B. • March 31, 2015Out of all of the places we went while in Nashville, this bar was where I had the absolute most fun. The band playing was amazing and the atmosphere was super fun!!! Definitely want to go back.

Joshua P. • October 28, 2012I appreciate the Ryman & other classic venues,but when I want to pay $20-30 to hear a great band this by Far my fav place. HUGE fans keep it cool. Drink pours are generous, b-rooms very acceptable. A+
