    Suite setup
    Lindsey D.

    Had the chance to catch the UFC Fight Night July 12 at Bridgestone Arena (Suite 16) for work, and it did not disappoint. Got dropped off near Nashville First Baptist Church and enjoyed the walk up to the arena--plenty of energy and easy to navigate. The suite had excellent visibility of the octagon, great service, and a comfortable setup. Watching Derrick Lewis baptize a Gen Z heavyweight in real time? Unforgettable. All in all, an incredible venue for a live event--efficient entry, solid amenities, and unforgettable atmosphere. After the event I walked up to 8th and Demonbreun to catch an uber to the hotel. Plenty of police presence post-event for safety and traffic control.

    In the last 9 years since moving to Nashville I seen so many concerts here and obi the CMA and let me tell you is INCREDIBLE for life music. Costumer service is on point and have so many different drinks and food you can chose from. If you have an opportunity to have a suite is even better because you will be with a small group of people you close and no one will block you if the stand up in front of you but any seat in the arena is AMAZING. They always working to make this venue better so check the new offering before you go. Bridgestone Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was completed in 1996 and is currently home to the National Hockey League's Nashville Predators. Right on Broadway by the to the Honky Tonks so you can party after the event is over. Primarily known as the home of the Nashville Predators, hosting NHL games with a capacity of 17,159 for ice hockey. It also hosts other sporting events like the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament. Concerts and Shows: A popular venue for concerts and other live entertainment events, with a seating capacity of approximately 20,000 for center stage concerts. The arena has hosted events like the Country Music Association Awards and Country Music Television Awards. Designed by HOK Sport (now Populous) in conjunction with Nashville-based Hart Freeland Roberts, Inc., its design subtly acknowledges the Ryman Auditorium. Accessibility: Bridgestone Arena offers accessible seating on every level and provides wheelchair services upon request. They are also certified sensory inclusive and offer sensory bags for guests. Offers a variety of food and beverage options, including the BetMGM Sports Lounge and Pete & Terry's Tavern. Free WiFi is available throughout the arena but is an insecure network just be aware of that but is well needed when you have more then 3000 fans try to get signal.

    It's more and more fun attending various events at the arena. On the other hand it's more and more painful finding parking spaces in downtown Nashville. That will be the main reason for the review update. Still like to come back and enjoy different events, like the Predators game tonight. Let's go Preds!

    Honestly, I can't think of anything negative. I came for a predators hockey game on Tuesday evening because I was there for a conference at music city. The stadium was so new, the chairs were padded and in great condition. my colleague felt they were a little narrow, but I thought they were OK. There were no lines for almost anything. The security was very quick and easy. Everyone is very nice. I got the walking taco which is basically loaded chips. I got Tostitos topped with pork, cheese and veggies - basically nachos. I would love to come back.

    This is a great hockey arena! Smashville knows how to bring the energy! This was my first NHL experience, and I am beyond happy that it was here. Every staff member I encountered was so friendly. The jumbotron was great for us sitting in section 204. I love that there's a band during intermission! The club level is a real treat too. Sure, there's more limited food options, but it was great for me and my family. I loved the chicken tenders. Definitely recommend folks make the drive out to experience hockey in Smashville!

    Well this was amazing. I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Lounge suite and the whole experience was definitely one of a kind. The food was amazing and the service was really on top of everything. The ambiance created a date night like no other and accompanied with the food selection I would definitely recommend. While I know this isn't the normal Bridgestone arena experience idc cause it was amazing g and I want to talk about it.

    OK Bridgestone ... I see you! In a city full of many memorable venues, this hockey haven that doubles as a tour stop for major artists definitely stands out. My husband and I recently saw Kacey Musgraves perform here for the end of her Deeper Well tour, and we had an incredible experience! First of all, you really can't beat the location. We parked just outside of the Broadway bubble, walked a couple of blocks to grab a quick bite at Assembly Food Hall, and then walked across the street to Bridgestone! Easy peasy - even when it's cold outside. We arrived about 30 minutes after doors, and there was a short line for security. We had floor seats, and so we actually ended up having to wait in two different lines because there was no signage. Not a major issue ... but we missed a few minutes of the openers. The arena itself is laid out well, and there are plenty of bars with lots of fun local options (shout out Spiked Coolers!) There was some bottlenecking at the ladies' room and the merch line ... kind of to be expected, but I feel like the volume should be anticipated when you're touring major artists like Kacey Musgraves. The show itself was incredible. If you're thinking about splurging for floor seats, this is your sign to go for it. From the crisp sound to the otherworldly visuals, this was an experience to remember. The crowd was pretty respectful too ... although toward the end of the show, they did get a little (understandably) rowdy. The confetti and balloons were a fun touch too! I have yet to check out a Preds game here ... but that's next on the list for sure!

    Always love a good Bridgestone Arena event, the space is always easy to navigate, plenty of amenities, staff is incredible!

    Great stadium food at decent prices. Service was quick and lines weren't too long before the game or during intermissions. Had some hot chicken tenders and fries and some dippin dots

    I came here for the Disturbed concert with Plush & Falling in Reverse. We had nose bleed seats, but honestly wasn't really a bad seat still. We could see everything going on really good and the sound definitely amplified. Parking is easy. You can either park at the arena or across the street at Music City Center. Getting in and out wasn't horribly difficult. They had concessions on every floor to include merchandise.

    I was able to visit and attend this arena for the Travis Scott concert and we had a great time. The arena did a good job getting us all in quickly and yet they were still checking every single person in one by one. Once inside they had employees helping out with directions. I bought some merch and even the merch line was organized. There was a very friendly usher standing at the entrance of our section and she took us to our seats which we thought was very nice. Overall we had fun, felt safe, and the concert was great! Exiting the arena was a breeze since we did walk out about 5 minutes before the show ended.

    Preds vs. Bruins
    Heather Rene A.

    I've been able to attend Bridgestone for several events (most recently a Preds game). It's always an experience. I have a nose bleeds budget so never get great seats, but always have a good time. Wish the food service was better as I have allergies and usually customize things and always have issues.

    Tonight......KISS!

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.

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.

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.
