One of our favorite activities while visiting Nashville! We came early, ordered drinks and lunch, enjoyed the emcee, and loved listening to the background of popular songs as well as a few we hadn't heard yet. It was such a good time!

We loved this show. If you are ever in Nashville check it out . The service , food and drinks are great. You get to hear the stories from the songwriters perspective. It was such a wonderful experience.

First time visiting Backstage Nashville. We arrived early in order to get a table close to the stage. Our waitress stopped by and said she was being water in which she never did. We ordered a beer and waited for about 30 minutes after our beer arrived before she returned for our food Order. Our food took a while to arrive, but once it did it was delicious. The burger had adequate blue cheese and the burger was seasoned and cooked well. The grilled onions added a nice flavor as well. The crinkle cut fries were crispy on the outside. The show was AMAZING. Very cool to see all the songwriters and hear their stories. The show was better than the service but would still recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This is an awesome singer/songwriter event that I believe only occurs on Saturdays around noonish so book early. Paid about $130 for 4 people and it was so worth it. They featured about 4 or 5 songwriters who sell to country artists like Luke Combs etc. They give insight to how the song took shape and then sing it themselves. This is the backbone of all music! Brady Seals was one of our artists (father is of Seals & Crofts) and we also had someone from one of the TV talent shows. This show was at least 2 hrs. And they have waitresses serving food and drinks to your table. There is a quick meet and greet at the end as well as shirts, books or cds to buy. Best tour type thing I did in Nashville.

Performers!

Best thing we did in Nashville! Such a special time hearing the passion and stories behind the songs. Incredible voices and all-around fun time. Plenty of seating and great food/drink options. What a treat.

Awesome venue off the beaten path, seats fill up quick so get early. We were at a sold out show, so it was a bit packed. We were close to the front of the entry line, so we were able to get seats up close to the stage. We found our seat and ordered drinks. We waited a bit to order dinner. That may have been a mistake due to the number of people, it took about 45 minutes to get it. Service could have been better, especially since 20% gratuity is automatically added regardless of party size. The ribeye sandwich was great, good flavor, tender, juicy and the horseradish sauce topped it off! The fries were nothing special. Overall the food was great. Let's face it, if you find yourself here, it's due to the music, or the food. This is where this place shines! It's awesome to get intimate with some great songwriters who will share their stories about how the songs came to be! Can't go wrong here.

Had an amazing time listening to the songwriters tell their stories and perform their songs. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Wife and I had a great time! Staff was always right there to get us anything we wanted to eat or drink. Food was about what you'd expect from a bar type place. Good enough. Overall musical experience was amazing. So cool to listen to the song writers tell the stories behind their music and then to perform it. So much appreciation for the true talent and not just the popular singers that have "made it." We saw Sarah Buxton, Jed's Hughes, Emma Klein and Heidi Newfield. They truly seemed to love to be signing and playing their music. If you enjoy watching live music, this is definitely a must on your visit to Nashville. Much quieter and overall better experience than on Broadway. We will be stopping here every time we are in Nashville!!

A GREAT afternoon during CMA Fest to hear work from very talented writers/artists. The food and service were spectacular as well.

But if you're looking for an authentic, old-school Nashville music experience, this IS the place! It's crowded. It's hot. Personal space does not exist. Claustrophobics should plan accordingly. The night we were there, they had a bluegrass jam going, and it was fantastic. Close your eyes and you could imagine yourself sitting in some West Virginia holler listening to a bunch of incredibly talented musicians just playing because they love to play. It was uncomfortable, crowded, hot, completely authentic--and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Station Inn is Nashville the way you hope Nashville still exists.

Once inside, people make a mad dash to claim their seats, and they squeeze in as tight as they can. Popcorn, Jack's-like pizza served on paper plates and buckets of beer are available, and the line is long. The music here IS phenomenal, without a doubt. That alone is worth the visit, but be prepared to wait in line and feel like a sardine stuffed in a tin. Not for the claustrophobic,

We had been exploring different parts of Nashville throughout the weekend, and Pete's was definitely one of the more entertaining stops we made. The atmosphere here was exactly what you would expect from a dueling piano bar. The music was loud, energetic, and a lot of fun. The pianists did a great job keeping the crowd involved, and there was a good mix of songs that had everyone singing along. It was one of those places where you can walk in not knowing exactly what to expect and quickly find yourself having a great time. Going with a group of friends made it even better. We were able to grab some drinks, relax, laugh, sing along, and just enjoy the experience. There was a great energy in the room, and the performers really knew how to keep things moving. After spending the weekend in Nashville for the football game, this was a great way to experience another side of the city. We had already visited several historical landmarks and other Nashville attractions, so spending some time at a lively piano bar was a nice change of pace. We had a great time at Pete's and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for live entertainment and a fun night out in Nashville. It was a memorable stop during our Labor Day weekend trip with friends.

Some songs were well known, some were just their favorites, some were brand new. They were all good singers and excellent guitar players. We were seated in at a high top table and, unfortunately right between the bar and the main aisle way. We still enjoyed the music but would probably want to sit on the stage side of the aisle to reduce the number of people walking by. Food was good. I had a smash burger with Brussel sprouts as a side. Lots of sides to choose from. Husband had the fries which were delicious, crispy with a nice seasoning. There is a $15 min per person spend required which doesn't take much to fill. The ticket pricing is very reasonable so didn't feel bad about eating dinner and having a beer. Loved the experience. I'd totally go back. The music was awesome.

We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

I recommend taking a ride share and walking to your venue on a nice evening. I'm glad the Voorhees building is being restored. I'll be back to try their burger!
