09.01.25 the iconic Broadway Street, where you can find live music, dancing and southern food at various honky tonk bars
May A.

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

Such a lively place filled with so many bars and restaurants.Great place to sight see and to just have fun with friends. They have paid parking lots and metered parking. Definitely a thing to do and place to visit when in Nashville.

Love hanging out in downtown Nashville on Broadway. Went shopping, got some drinks, heard lots of great music.

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.

This is the party central of Nashville and brings many folks into the city. Tons of bars, clubs, restaurants and a great fun vibe. I would have enjoyed this a lot more 10 years ago. 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.

Walking around

Crazy place to be at night. Coworkers and I came here for a conference event and spent hours at Ole Red listening to music and having great food/drinks. Then we walked around a bit after the event. Never seen so many people out and about, drunk and having fun on a Tuesday night. We later went into Kid Rocks place and had some more fun! Great night! This place is cool!

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! It's definitely a busy area that seems to always be crowded, no matter day or night, but if you're looking to bar hop, eat good food, listen to great music or just relax at a rooftop bar, Broadway is the place to go!

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. With a plethora of bars and bites, you'll see generations running up and down the street. Get your fix of live music and upcoming artists. You've been warned though... get ready for it to be bachelorette party central where there's one group you'll see every thirty seconds lol.

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.

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! Definitely so many people, a big tourist destination, and just such a hustle of restaurants trying to get you into their establishments. It's busy and chaotic and a little bit too much for me, but I loved window shopping, soaking in the vibes, and trying on boots at all the different boot stores they had!

The Gulch is one of the most popular districts of Nashville that continues to grow with new…read moreeateries, experiences, and offerings with each year. Located just southwest of downtown between midtown and broadway, The Gulch is an expansive, but equally quaint part of the city that is classic mixed use of residential and retail. Main reason you may find me in The Gulch is for food. There is a solid variety of eateries from local casual spots to more established dining, sandwich shops and even a few spots for dessert. While that's my reason, most tourists find their way to The Gulch for the famous wing mural next to Biscuit Love. Got to get them wings while in Nashville! Outside of the food and wings, there are lots of local and chain businesses and services in the area including self-care, medical offices and of course clothing boutiques. Additionally, Noble Park is in the middle of The Gulch. It's a really cool urban space that features a good green space, seating, music and a water wall. It is also host to markets and small events throughout the year. Parking is plentiful in The Gulch, buts its all paid. There are garages, lots and street parking. Overall, The Gulch is a cool area of the city that I don't find myself in too often, but when I do, I always enjoy it!

My buddy Joe and I were exploring and found the Gulch. The Gulch is a trendy, walkable neighborhood…read morefull of murals, boutique shops, and vibrant nightlife. It's perfect for strolling, grabbing brunch at Biscuit Love, sipping cocktails at The Patterson House, or enjoying rooftop views at L.A. Jackson.

1.2 miMusic Row, Midtown

Where legends were made [Nashville TN]…read more Located just southwest of downtown, Music Row was one of the routes aboard the Nashville Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour. It has a mix of recording studios, record label offices, radio stations, and music licensing firms. Our bus driver mentioned some and I tried to remember the names of them but here are a few from world-renowned hit machines to hidden gems: BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) - BMI represents all genres of music ASCAP (American Society of Composers) - Emmylou Harris, Brad Paisley Authors and Publishers - there are too many publishing companies in Nashville to name but these are a few: Randall House, The United Methodist Publishing House, Victory Records, American Songwriter, Mojo Music & Media SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers) - music licensing NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International) - organization that works to help songwriters from their very first phone call to their first cut, publishing deal, and award Word Music - a Christian faith-based entertainment company representing Francesca Battistelli, for King & Country, Switchfoot, Skillet, Sidewalk Prophets, Chris August, Big Daddy Weave, etc Curb Music - American record label who had many successes including Chet Atkins, Bellamy Brothers, Sammy Davis Jr., Exile, Four Seasons, Gloria Gaynor, Lee Greenwood, Wynonna Judd, The Judds, Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina, Roy Orbison, Lou Rawls, Righteous Brothers, LeAnn Rimes, Neil Sedaka, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams Jr... just too many! Warner Brothers Music - Country Music Record Label. Home to Superstars such as Blake shelton, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band, Cole Swindell, Ashley McBryde SONY Music - the country music branch of the Sony Music Group RCA Studio B - birthplace of many classic hits and was home to artists like Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton. While no longer in use, you can take a tour of it. Music Row is where the magic happens--where artists record their hits, where industry professionals work behind the scenes, and where the history of American music is preserved and celebrated. I would've loved to participate in a walking tour here... maybe next time. Review #3892

Cut and pasted from the internet: "Streets lined with…read morerecording studios, music publishing houses, record labels, and other music-related businesses, Music Row has been a hub for country, rock, gospel, and pop since the 1950s. Historically, Music Row has been home to iconic recording studios like RCA Studio A & B, Columbia and more where Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Bob Dylan and other legendary artists recorded many of their hits." Quality/Quantity - Cool walking around seeing all the different studios here. It would be nice to get a tour and learn more...? Also had a decent small "bar" and "Honky Tonk" scene. But I choose to just hang out at Tailgate Brewery instead. Well we did walk that small strip. "Broadway" street is also not too far away if you really want to party! There is some art, scriptures, etc. also. Not sure if I took those pictures. We were told October was a perfect time to visit. :) Atmosphere - See above. Service - Good. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. Owner Comment - A cool relaxing way to end our trip, thank you.

Cool looking at some of the architecture. Cool Halloween decorations, logos benches, etc. Their website has much more info, but too much to cut and paste. You will just have to click the link yourself. Atmosphere - The best part of Germantown was the "Art Walk," the murals and sculptures. I should have taken pictures. Decent places to eat and drink, sorry we only went to the breweries... Service - Good, depends on where you eat and drink or what you buy. See other Yelp reviews.

Just north of the capital and the Farmers Market and South of Metro Center, it's a wonderful neighborhood worthy of a leisurely afternoon stroll or a visit to one of it's lovely restaurants or shops. You will know you are there when you find row housing and brick sidewalks. The Germantown Cafe, Monells, and new hot dog place are among worthy contenders for your visit. They also have an Oktoberfest with lots of beer, polka, and kraut which always attracts a crowd. The neighborhood itself has exploded in the last few years so there are wonderful options for places to live there as well. It is the only neighborhood with some stunning views of the capital in addition to the downtown skyline.
