I like Broadway, or as it's also known: Honky Tonk Highway! To call it "vibrant" is an understatement! It starts at the convergence of 1st Avenue near the Cumberland River and runs southwest to the Vanderbilt University campus, where it turns sharply to the south and merges with 21st Avenue South. The Bridgestone Arena is near the eastern end of Broadway. I've been to the Frist Art Museum (located next to Union Station) and it's a nice museum! Previously the Frist loused a historic U.S. post office. The Frist is one of the landmarks on Lower Broad. Tootsie's Orchid Lounge and Ernest Tubb Record Shop are other landmarks/points of interest along Broadway. Fun fact is some of the scenes in "Coal Miner's Daughter" were filmed inside Tootsie's! I've stayed in hotels on Broadway and all were nice and of course, very convenient to dining options, venues like Bridgestone, and of course, honky tonks. Printer's Alley, which I actually enjoy more than Broadway is only about a five minute walk from Broadway and has a lot to offer in one historic alley! If you are into gigantic neon signs, trollies/mini buses/party busses filled with drunken bachelorette parties, and country music, then Broadway is definitely your jam! read more

Broadway is a major thoroughfare in downtown Nashville, and Lower Broadway, which spans between 1st to 5th Avenue, is a popular tourist area known for its honky tonks (bars that play country music), and many of the buildings have neon signs. We walked along Broadway twice -- once around 3pm, because we were in the area, and then later that night, around 10pm. I was surprised that it was way busier at 3pm than at 10pm, but it was a Sunday. I wouldn't go out of my way to walk along Broadway, but if in the area, it's fun to look at all the neon signs.

The Broadway District, particularly Lower Broadway, is a bustling, neon-lit entertainment hub renowned for its multi-level "honky tonk" bars featuring live country music all day. Yes, there were some fun Bourbon Street (NOLA) parallels and energy, and I thought that the overall Cajun culture was cooler there, and the music (that I like) better here. And hats off to the hardworking folks that help keep this place safe and clean. We arrived in Nashville mid-week and make it a point to hear our music mostly in the daytime. We thought things were a little quieter and laid back, particular in our music choices of Roberts Western World, Ole Red, and the 1st Floor of Chiefs. We also very much enjoyed the Mud Bug Stompers one evening at the Acme and then went off-Broadway one evening at Alley Taps and another time at a more distant Listening Room venue. Going into the weekend and starting on Thursday night, the crowds on the streets and some of the bars were "wall to wall" starting mid-morning. But in the early morning (as seen from Chief's rooftop bar), things seemed so calm and peaceful, like a calm before a storm. read more

On Broadway, tourists and locals star in a real life play where the stage is a historic street dating from the early 1800s with blocks of honky-tonks, restaurants, shops, historic landmarks, an arena, and more. Sometimes a famous Country Music Star might show up to share the stage. It was an act that I got to star in for a week with my Dad, Brother, locals and tourists. When people say that Nashville is "Nash Vegas" they are talking about Broadway, especially the Honkey Tonk Highway segment between 1st Avenue and Rep. John Lewis Way (Fifth Avenue). This is where the honky-tonks, bars, and action is. Living in Las Vegas, it reminds me of an east of the Mississippi River version of the Fremont Street Experience. The major differences are that unlike Fremont Street the hotels are disconnected from Broadway, there is no canopy, the road is open to traffic, and it ends at a Riverfront instead of a casino. My experiences on Broadway took place before I physically set foot on Broadway. The YouTube livestreams gave me hours worth of introduction to Nashville's most famous street. From watching the YouTube livestreams, I expected it to be a relatively short and compact street lined with honky-tonks. Just like the live streams the two landmarks that I noticed were the Ghost Ballet sculpture across the Cumberland River to the east and the 250 foot tall Nashville Visitor Center Radio Tower. In real life I got to see that Broadway was a canyon of historic buildings surrounded by towers on parallel streets that include The AT&T Tower. I got to spend a lot of time with my family on Broadway between Eighth Avenue and Riverfront Park at the easternmost point. On account of the fact that we did our drinking at the Embassy Suites Manager's Reception, I experienced Broadway in a sober state of mind. This included Saturday night when Broadway was so busy that they closed it off to traffic. From this sober perspective, whether it was in a restaurant, or passing by a honky-tonk stage opened to the sidewalk, I did notice that a lot of the live music was rock & roll. For what I lacked in drinking, I made up for in dining. With my family we ate at a few Broadway restaurants that included the 12-Thirty Club, Acme Feed, The Stillery, and Prince's Chicken. Being into picture-taking I enjoyed taking in and capturing the attractions lining Broadway and very close to it. This included the Nashville First Baptist Church, the Customs House, Hume-Fogg Academic High School, Fifth at Broadway, Assembly Food Hall, Nashville Visitor Center 250-foot tall radio tower, Ryman Auditorium, Bridgestone Arena, the AT&T Tower rising above the historic buildings, Legends Mural, and Riverfront Park. I would try to include the party buses that complimented the party vibe. The fact that I was able to take all these pictures was evidence that I was having a good time and felt safe here. Let's talk safety. There was a Police presence on Broadway. And there was safety with crowds in numbers. I was impressed by the fact that graffiti was non-existent and that it was so clean. In the morning I witnessed workers steam clean the sidewalk. With the exception of Saturday night, I didn't experience Broadway later in the night. One thing I did notice is that most of the hotels and parking are off Broadway. Sometimes a few long blocks. This creates a risk factor walking to the hotel or car late at night. The summer weather is a safety concern. I experienced the brutal summer heat and humidity with downpours. There were a few times where we took refuge from this weather in the Assembly Food Hall. I enjoyed co-starring with my Dad, Brother, locals and tourists in this real life play that is Broadway Nashville. I am not acting when I award Broadway Four Stars. This is a stage that I would like to return to. read more

Honky Tonk Highway [Nashville TN] Unlike Beale Street in Memphis, Broadway in Nashville isn't closed to traffic BUT, like Beale Street, both destinations are known for their cuisines (especially dishes like ribs and hot chicken) and both Tennessee cities played an important role in American music. We were overwhelmed by all the bars, restaurants, clubs and its vibrant music scene. We learned that there's never a cover charge from the entertainment in these bars and restaurants and the music is always live. The performers get paid from the tips you deposit on your way out or in our case, while dining at JBJ's Nashville, one of the band members will come around each table collecting (and they accept Venmo LoL!) While exploring we found ourselves surrounded by a mix of shops, bars, restaurants, and historical landmarks, all a mixture to Broadway's lively atmosphere, the lower Broadway area are famous establishments owned by celebrities. All I know is we survived Broadway! Review #3888 read more

Since my son moved to Nashville I have visited the Broadway Historic District many times. What makes it special are the people and the events. Everyday there is always a different crowd, so the vibe is unique depending on who is there and what is happening. In crowded areas, like on Broadway, it is important that people remember to be kind and patient not demanding and rude. Then everyone will have a good time. We spent Fourth of July at the Twelve Thirty Club. It was a great time. You could feel the energy everwhere. We had a view of the street and it was packed, so was the club. There was a couple of times people acted rude, but it worked itself out. We have been to concerts at the Ryman Auditorium, a beautiful venue, then hit the clubs afterwards. We were able to get into places and grab a seat at the bar. On Broadway, you may need to wait in lines, and/or make advance reservations but it is worth it. Traffic will be tricky. It is better to walk. Remember that Ubers will also get stuck in traffic. Patience is a key when you visit Broadway. Two of my favorite honkytonks on Broadways include Kid Rock's Big Honky Tonk and Steakhouse and Posty's that includes 6 bars and three stages. They usually have great bands, but there is usually a line out the door to get in. read more

Broadway Historic District - Local Flavor Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Major cities have their own "strip" where people go to bars named after celebrities, that chain restaurant and niche spot that may be trending on social media. Similar to Times Square, Bourbon Street or the Magnificent Mile, you'll find a lot of people taking in the sights. With that, keep your head on a swivel and understand that you'll get bumped, people will be walking and eating and there may be street performers. Not just a popular gathering area for college aged adults, it's within walking distance from the Nissan Stadium. So many of the restaurants will have game day promotions, live music, roof top bars and quirky food specials that are well known to the area. There is no parking in this area. Many park somewhere else and walk and take in the scenery. There is a police presence and the times I frequented the area, there were no disturbances. If in the area, take in the scenes and be a true tourist. read more

I had been wanting to see Nashville for several years. I am not a country music fan, but somehow I sensed I would like it. I finally made my way here in 2024, October. It was still a bit warm there which was surprising to me. I love Broadway. It is so fun and truly the heart of Nashville. It does get crowded on weekend nights. Too crowded. They have some great food in this district. I was really pleased with the Nashville hot chicken I had. I still love buffalo flavor more, but this was so good. They also have awesome Mexican food. There are so, so many very talented musicians and singers. I truly liked all the ones I heard. They played mostly non country music, which surprised me. I was happy. It was a pleasure to scan some of their Venmo QR codes to help support them. All admissions to hear them was free. They deserve every dollar they receive from patrons. I really don't have any complaints except for how crowded it gets. And one server who should not work with the public. Otherwise, Downtown Nashville...South Florida loves you. Hope to see you again. read more

Broadway is poppin'. It's the place to see and be seen. It seems like every famous country musician has a restaurant there. On busy evenings, part of the street is closed to traffic. If you like country music, you can hear lots of live music streaming out through the open windows of the eateries. It can be really packed on the weekends, so fair warning! And, there is very limited street parking, and the garages are pretty pricey (~$10/hr.). But, it can be a fun place to walk or drive around. read more

Now I respectfully watch it and then leave. ;-) There are lot of other fun things to do in the area as well if you are not into the bar hopping scene. The Country Music Hall of Fame and the Bridgestone arena to name a few. read more

Broadway was such a fun place to visit! I went around 8PM and it was definitely bustling with activity. There were plenty of bar and restaurant choices and every establishment had live music playing. Although the speakers most places had to push the music outside were way too loud and would hurt your ears as you walked by. We did have a bit of trouble finding parking- there aren't too many options and the closest arena was like $40. We ended up parking in a garage down the street from the main thoroughfare and walking to broadway. read more

With this being a staple for the spirit and heart of Nashville, it's kinda a cardinal sin to visit this town and not go for a visit.

Broadway will forever be one of my favorite areas in Nashville. The live bands, the neon lights at night, the people, the food, the entertainment...there's a reason why they call it "Nashvegas". It was everything I needed and more!

PROS: This place was the heartbeat of Nashville! When you ask people why they want to come to nashville this is the reason. This part of the street, Broadway, looks like Las Vegas casino area with many bright neon lights. Most bars are 3-5 stories tall and every place has live music. CONS: The green lights last only 5 seconds on broadway which causes congestion. There's also a homeless problem OVERALL: Watch your back with the homeless and don't drive through this street. Other than that, this place is amazing. This is the #1 reason for why you should come to Nashville read more

My Take- Find a place with a good band, good bartender, good crowd and stay put. DO NOT PARK locally. A majority of the lots have remnants of broken windows. read more

An absolute traffic nightmare! We arrived on Friday at 11:30pm, hoping to get some bbq before midnight but the streets were jam packed with cars and people. Traffic was not moving. The GPS was telling us to turn but the streets were blocked off with cones. We were finally able to turn off on a street to get out of there but we got boxed in by two buses. Am Never coming back here again! read more

If you've ever been to the Vegas Strip, Freemont Street in Vegas, Bourbon Street or Times Square, that's sort of what to expect in terms of loud music, lots of neon signs and lots of tourists. I enjoyed checking out Robert's and was able to get a seat at the bar in the afternoon. Lots of gigantic bars/restaurants owned by famous country singers are here too if you're looking for that sort of thing. It gets crazier the later you go so if you're 21 and looking to party this is your scene at midnight when those who are a little older have headed to more chill places elsewhere in Music City. It's a must see but go during the day for a more chill experienece and go at night if you want crazy. read more

This is really a review of two stories: The bars are great. Plenty of options and plenty of good vibes. The bad: the traffic (transportation pickup) situation is awful. We waited approximately 1 1/2+ hours to get an Uber/Lyft. If your going to have that popular of an area you need to dedicate somewhere for people to get picked up. Even if it's a mile away. Have cops along the route to prevent incidents and have people walk. It really put a damper on an otherwise good night. read more

This is the very popular bar, shopping, and live music area of Nashville! We visited on a Monday during the day in early March and it was still packed!

I visited Broadway briefly during my latest trip to Nashville. It's full of crazy people to watch, neon signs and blaring loud music.

Weekend Stay: Meh.. 2nd time visiting. Broadway is the plastic surgery of Country Music. I cant tell ya how many women were making sure to get that perfect 'gram' photo on the street. Hilariously sad. Bars went to: RIppy Honky Tonk (night): Cover band no country Dierks Bentley (night): Cover band no country, club music rooftop Jason Aldean: Cover band no country, club music rooftop Honky Tonk (the og) (night) Cover band no country, all 3 levels Ole Red (night): Country Music Chiefs (day time): Country Music Margaritaville (day time): Beach Country Nudies (night): Cover band no country, Club on rooftop The bad: This place is not for kids, so dont expose them to it. Most rooftop bars seemed to play Club music. At least the places we went very few bars at night played actual country music. Every band will walk up to every individual with a 5gallon bucket looking for a tip. Everything, and I mean everything is expensive, but that may be part of the build back better plan. The good: Taxi and Uber drivers are easy to find if you dont want to walk. Id come again but maybe a Sunday - Wednesday. read more

A fun place to go. Broadway is a street of Honky Tonks and eateries all lined up within inches of each other. It kind of reminded me of a 1970's Reno Strip. It is also close to the historic Rhyman Hall, A sports arena, the historic Printers Alley, Many hotels. numerous arts centers and museums, and the Assembly Food Hall, just to name a few places within an easy walk. There is so much to do in Nashville and this is a great location to hang out in or even stay at. Music Row, with all that music history is a tad further away maybe 1.5 miles but still walkable if you are doing a studio tour. ( Studio B-Elvis history galore but numerous other studios over there). If you like to party then Broadway is your spot. Every bar seems to have multiple levels and music abound. Some great restaurants too. No lacking of choice here. None of the places we went to had a cover charge. Some might if it is a concert or ticketed event. Reds had that going on the day we went so we missed Blake's place and were mildly disappointed since we were told that was a good one. However, no big deal and with that said we had a blast anyway. So many other places are there you will do just fine. Even if you dislike country music you will find variety. I should have counted the number of bars on that small strip, maybe close to 50? Just a heads up, the bars and restaurants are expensive and the city has a larger tax rate as well as an alcohol tax rate or surcharge rate. Plan on spending some dough. Maybe beer is cheaper than well drinks? I am an eater not a big drinker so it did not effect me as much as my guests. But most drinks we had were over 15 dollars a piece and small. Just another heads up, the ride share pick up area is kind of odd, maybe far away if you have been drinking and depending where you are on Broadway, and unclear. Even the security guards working the streets outside had no idea where the so called, "Designated Pick Up Spot" message we got meant. Watch your step on the pavements and sidewalks too for construction. It is a popular relocation city and destination vaca spot and growth is happening. That means well worn sidewalks and construction. Also, I can only imagine how packed it would be on a weekend. We went on a Tuesday at 3pm and left early in the evening around 11pm and it was busy the entire time. Learn NYC walking techniques. Haha! Lots of folks out and about. Enjoy Nashville. Such a great city. read more

Ummm... it's Fremont Street from Vegas, but with much much better live music. This street is only five or six blocks long, but you'll find nonstop fun, great music and bottles of beer as far as the eye can see! I highly recommend heading into Robert's Western World for a fried Bologna sandwich and the Mellow Mushroom for a low key rooftop night cap. This is also a great place to get some tacky Nashville souvenirs and get your honky tonk on. Fun fact, this street is also capped with the Bridgestone Arena. Which is where the pro hockey team, The Nashville Predators play. Broadway is calling! read more

If everyone on this street drank Budweiser, it'd be Budway Historic District. If it was swarmed with roaches, it'd be Bugway Historic District. And if it was about how I let rich old men do me, it'd be Bumway Historic District. This is the heart and soul of Nashville and it's been 20 years since I first started coming here and walking up and down and driving up and down and it really hasn't changed very much. It's even more lively now with even more beautiful people who dress even more scandalously because well you know - girls get sexier as the years go by and the boys get more muscles - I mean just look at me for proof of that. It's scandalous up and down here these days. There's also a lot more beggars and homeless people and people trying to get stuff from you than there used to be but that could be said about a lot of places. There was a time when Nashville really just felt like our little place (me and my first real love) and mostly a strictly Country Place - just like Memphis was a strictly Blues Place. Memphis seems to be quieting down, and Nashville is booming and it's about five times as busy and big and bustling as it used to be, and now it's not just country but all kinds of people coming here and it kind of reminds me of South Beach without the Latinos. You have a huge concert Stadium at one end of Lower Broadway and a huge football stadium across the river at the other end with a (ew) Hard Rock Cafe and a hundred live music venues in between - and each one of them is playing country music and karaoke and more country music and mostly you'll just hear a lot of covers of the same kinds of songs - and oh my goodness did you know Bon Jovi was always kind of country because when these guys play Wanted Dead or Alive along LB, you're like, that is most definitely a country song. Anyway, it's all the same. Only the names will change. Every day it seems we're wasting away. read more

If you are a tourist in Nashville, you are sure to stop here at some point. If you are you in the part-ing time of your life, the Broadway District is where you will find the most popular and well-known drinking hot spots (Tootsies and Robert's Western World). Basically every storefront is another bar with, probably with live music, and definitely with the potential for a great time! If you are in to the tourist-y thing, there are tourist trap shops as well as notable and historic things to see. Within easy walking distance of the district is the Country Music Hall of Fame. The Broadway Historic District is the bustling heart of the city. Busy, filled with people, and waiting for you to take in some live tunes while you sip on a drank (....or down a shot...pick your poison!).

Alright, alright, alright...I know this song's 'bout them Yankees in their ballet tights, but it sure fits this place... They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway They say there's always magic in the air. But when you're walkin' down the street And you ain't had enough to eat The glitter rubs off and you're nowhere... Boy howdy, that's depressing, but them honky tonks on Lower Broadway are full of struggling musicians performing their hearts out to get discovered. And let's face it, that's why Jamie W. and I were here. What we didn't bargain for was the huge ongoing party scene that happens here, presumably 24/7. Indeed on the sidewalk and the balconies, it was a lot of good-time back slapping and hearty beer-guzzling. Truly a multi-block frat party on the outside, but on the inside is a whole lot of toe-tapping talent.

Here we go...#1,001! Broadway Historic District is the downtown area of Nashville that's filled with all of the historic bars, record shops, live venues from the days when Nashville was truly a musicians dream! A time when a struggling musician would sell his/her soul to come to Nashville with the hopes of performing somewhere on Broadway and get recognized by an industry executive. Broadway still has the iconic Ernest Tubb Record Shop, the Ryman Auditorium, but a lot of touristy stops from today's stars. Still a great stop for live music, decent bar food, and memories of Nashville looking for the next star. read more

My husband and I were so excited to visit Nashville and go to the all so popular broadway but we were so disappointed. It's very easy to compare this place and Nashville to downtown Houston TX or bad parts of NY. It's a extremely dirty place homeless everywhere. Broadway is pretty for pictures and I guess you should always try things once but it's really both worth your time. There is absolutely nothing to do in Nashville and they over hype broadway a little too much. The bars and restaurants are extremely expensive and the stores around here are also beyond pricey.

Today my partner, his family and I ventured into Nashville. We zeroed on an area called the District. It's a downtown neighborhood encompassing the area around Broadway and 2nd Avenue packed with Southern eateries, honky-tonk bars with live music and long-standing stores selling western wear or vintage vinyl. Live music all day everyday...and not just country music for those that are not country fans. All bars/restaurants are walking distance from one another. Located on 5th North, the Ryman Auditorium was formerly the Grand Ole Opry House. It's designated as a National Historic Landmark and holds 2,362-seat music venue. It is also a great place for a young crowd to have a Bachelorette party. They have really cool party busses and noticed the young people in their 20s having a blast! It's total party city like Vegas, New Orleans (Bourbon Street) or Times Square. Traffic is awful and parking will run about $20. In summary, Downtown is crazy but tons of fun. Lots of shops, restaurants & music. You can find just about anything down there! read more

It is the capital bachelorette party city of the country. It's fun because you have awesome bars all around the area and you have pretty cool restaurants. I don't think this place sleeps.

Broadway is the famous 2 block street that is home to bars/restaurants and live bands. It does extend around the entire area but main event is all on Broadway Street. Similar to Bourbon Street and Vegas. Exactly like Beale Street but a bit bigger. Parking in the area looks difficult, I walked and Lyft'ed here. Annoying that the street is not closed off at night when the sidewalks get super cramped. You have to wait at each stop light and the lights take forever. At least you can cross diagonally on these blocks. Every country star seems to have a restaurant here. The famous Tootsies is here also. Very busy and crowded on a Friday night. Lots of places charge a cover. Tons of good music and bands. Drinks were reasonably priced. Lots of souvenir shops. read more
