Go to Robert's after the show to let the traffic clear out. Go in the back door to avoid the line. Also, get a cheeseburger. You will thank me later.
- Debbie WJune 23, 2017Nice to know the history, but felt the admission was expensive for what you received.
I mean, it’s the Mother Church. What else is there to say?
Michelle ForsenSeptember 3, 2013Who knew sooo many of my favs have played the Ryman! Cool stuff man!!
Back at The Ryman for dinner, drinks and Jennifer Nettles
Brian CopelandJuly 18, 2010Many believe the Ryman is the Grand Ole Opry home. In fact, Nat'l Life & Accident Insurance Co. in downtown is the original home. NASHVILLEANDBEYOND.com
