Great place. Fantastic food and vibe. Our waitress Eden was horrible! My party was at the rooftop on a very slow, low key Monday eve. Eden was extremely inattentive and appeared to hate her job ... If you don't like your job, don't take it out on your customers!!! read more

We stopped into Category 10 for drinks while bar hopping and a few things make this spot a stand out: 1) It's huge, so bring friends. Not only is the main floor big but it has an upstairs and a solid rooftop! 2) People line dance on the main dance floor / can't beat that, always fun to participate or even just watch! 3) The giant "hurricane" above the dance floor is cool to watch in and of itself! Take a minute to simply "watch the storm" We had a lot of fun for the few drink rounds, and dance songs, we had while there. And I can easily see myself coming back (which isn't something I get on board with for a lot of places on the strip). read more

Great place to learn to line dance. I got the steps down, then it sped up with music, I was just lost in laughter! We ate at the Sports Bar on third floor, I had the Tofu Rice Noodle bowl. Great options for everyone. read more

This is like an expensive version of Ruby Tuesday's. The food is just edible at best and it's extremely over priced. Think cafeteria food. A drink, like a jack and coke is $17. Service is almost non existent. Expect the waiter say "sorry I completely forgot" multiple times. I suppose you are paying for the atmosphere (which is why I gave it 2 stars not one) and the music but it's just not worth it. read more

This was truly an amazing experience and I 10/10 recommend this spot if you are looking for somewhere with great free line dance lessons, music and drinks. There were also kids on the dance floor and the servers were amazing. You can also buy souvenirs here! read more

The food was decent and the atmosphere was really good. They had line dancing going on while we were there, which made the experience fun and entertaining. We started with the duck fat fries -- they were okay, but in my opinion they needed a little more than just parmesan cheese for flavor. The wings were definitely the highlight though. We had Luke's family recipe sauce on the wings, and they were flavorful and cooked perfectly. read more

What a fun place for a family activity. All ages during the day. It was a Saturday afternoon. They have a full menu and bar. The arena is kept chilly for the dancers. Great air circulation. I was so excited to try to line dance. It was perfect space for it. I would guess close to 70 people in the floor for a lesson. Live band. Wait staff is a bit annoyed as there weren't many people at tables but in the floor. View of the floor is best from up high on the second level. read more

Hands down my favorite bar I visited during my stay in Nashville! I loved the free line dance lessons. The instructors were easy to follow and it was a lot of fun. All of the bands we saw there were great and many took requests. The food was delicious. The ranch flight is a must! I visited multiple times throughout my trip and I will say that service and experience will vary. Our first night we did not have friendly service but the line dancing drew me back for another visit and Shayla was AMAZING during our dine in. Definitely a must visit. read more

Cool spot! We had the rooftop reserved, which included 2 full bars, a stage, plenty of dining areas and an open floor for dancing. Food was good. Bartender was very nice! Rooftop has a nice night skyline view Take the elevator, because the rooftop is about 4-5 floors up. Many different levels that have a stage for live performances. Come visit! read more

3 ? Why? Category 10 was hands-down my favorite spot in Nashville. I ended up here three out of my four nights in town--that's how much I enjoyed it. The rooftop bar had live music and plenty of space, though it was more laid-back with fewer people. The real action was on the main floor where 200+ people were out line dancing. It was incredible to watch, especially with the mix of a live band and DJ, plus a top-notch sound system and effects coming down from the ceiling that added to the show. Even though I don't know how to line dance (wish I did--I would've jumped right in), I had a great time hanging out. Between the drinks, friendly crowd, pretty girls, and awesome music, this place delivered the full Nashville experience. Honestly, I don't know how this place only has three stars on Yelp--it was easily a five-star experience for me. read more

The food and drinks were great. We came here on a Saturday night and had a blast! I recommend this place to everyone!

Great open, spacious setup. Solid bar. Food options were on us... taste was on them -- nothing to write home about. Good musicians, plenty of seating. Overall? Nice vibe, average food. read more

This was such a cool place the Hurricane design and periodic animation is very nice and give the place such a cool vibe. Music was great and food exceeded my expectations. Specifically the grilled chicken sandwich. Was very impressed how tasty this sandwich was and I wasn't expecting it. I must say overall just great service, great food and the vibe was very nice. Also liked that it was very family style during the day. read more

I really wanted to like Category 10 but the wait staff is horrendous. We waited for at least 45 minutes before someone came by to ask "if we were ready". When we did order, they didn't get it right. When I told them, they argued that we "didn't order it right". One of us got a soft drink and wanted a refill but no one ever came back around! The staff needs more training, they are the definition of lazy. The food was microwave quality. In addition, the amount they give you is laughable (which in this case, it was ok since it tasted like a TV dinner). read more

The Good: fun to people watch! It was so much fun to people watch on the second and third floor while you grab a drink and a meal The Bad: sticky floors. The culprit: spilled drinks! The Ugly: few dance lessons for beginners. There were very few big group lessons for beginners. You would have to watch and learn on your own with others around you. On to my next adventure... read more

We came here after finding out the place across the street we wanted to go to had a 2 hour wait on a Friday night around 8. Out of desperation, we wandered into Category 10 since we were both hungry and hadn't eaten dinner yet. We walked in and our IDs were thoroughly checked, despite us both being in our 50s. I walked to an unmarked host stand that was unattended. A gentleman walked up and started cleaning menus without acknowledging me. The place was busy in the back near the stage, while the "dining" area was mostly empty. I asked him if it was a possibility to get a table for 2, he sort of indicated yes and took us to a dirty table (see pic). He walked off w/o a word. A server finally came by and we changed tables to another table that needed to be cleaned. She wiped it off. We asked her what local beers were available. She had no idea, so she went to check. The only thing "local"was from Asheville, NC - a beer from Hi-Wire. We ordered the "seasonal" beer after having our IDs checked again. We asked for a food recommendation. She recommended the waffle fires, which came out as an undercooked cold mess of limp waffle fries and unmelted cheese (see pic). We ordered the venison meatloaf to split. It was the blandest, oddest tasting mystery meat ever (and we both eat venison often). It came with some bland mashed potatoes and carrots and was topped with a tasteless tomato sauce. We managed to eat some of this spongy mystery meat and washed it down with a "seasonal " beer which appeared to be a brown ale (not seasonal in May). The band playing was pretty good, which is certainly why a giant crowd came to this place. Everything else was a complete disaster. Come for the music, not the food, or any beer that's not Bud Light or the equivalent. This place is a dump. Come for the music but get food anywhere else in Nashville. The food here SUCKS. The service is equally bad, and they couldn't care less if you're there. Our server was really nice but had no idea about the menu or beers available. She also had no training about how to serve us since we had to ask for the table to be cleaned and to get us silverware and napkins. Again, eat anywhere else...prepare for lame drinks and beer selection...and realize the staff doesn't care if you're there or not. read more

As a Californian, it's not every day that I get to visit the Music City -- Nashville -- so of course I wanted to experience the vibe of every restaurant with a live band performance. This four-story music lounge bar is divided into two main areas. The first floor features a large dome-shaped space that serves as a dancing pool and live band stage. The setup allows performers to play on stage while audiences from the first to third floors can enjoy the show in a way that feels almost like watching an opera. The rooftop offers a smaller, quieter lounge bar where you can enjoy live music while taking in beautiful river views and a stunning starry sky. Meanwhile, the third floor also has an indoor area where sports lovers can relax and watch games on a big screen. As for the food, I highly recommend their braised edamame and the incredibly tasty sliced grilled steak. The environment is clean and comfortable, and personally, I really recommend this restaurant and music bar -- especially for a first-time visitor to the city. It's definitely worth checking out. 身為一個加州人，難得去音樂之城Nashville，肯定是想要體驗一下每一家音樂Live band的魅力。 這家四層樓的音樂Lounge Bar有分兩個區， 一樓是個很大的穹頂空間作為Dancing Pool live band演出，讓表演者在舞台演出時，一到三樓的觀眾能同時像在看歌劇一樣的方式欣賞演出。 屋頂是一個比較小比較安靜的Lounge Bar，還能在聽音樂的同時，欣賞河畔的美景和漂亮的星空。三樓同時有一個室內空間可以讓體育愛好者坐著欣賞大螢幕的體育賽事。 食物的話，我相當推薦他們的悶豆莢和超好吃的烤牛排切片。環境也是非常的乾淨和舒適，我個人是蠻推薦這家餐廳和音樂Bar，尤其是作為一個第一次來這個城市的遊客來講，非常值得一訪。 read more

We were there a few times with in 4 days! The first time we were there we saw John Lucas and band we had him Stumped and laughing. Did some line dancing and it was so much fun. We then came back for lunch and had Kelly she was great there were 10 of us and did not miss a beat! Everything was delicious, delivered on time, just the french fries needed to be a little bit hotter and crispy lol but otherwise everything was really, very very delicious and she did a great job because we had separate checks.

Was sitting on the rooftop for about an hour when security came around and told us they were closing it in 10 minutes. We told them we had ordered food and they said the could bring it down to the 3rd level. Mind you, the 3rd level is a rail with chairs - not conducive for sharing food amongst friends. Perhaps a better idea would have been to have a sign at the entrance to the rooftop that said it was closing at 4pm for a private event. Coming around at 345 and asking everyone to leave after we've just ordered a fresh round of drinks and some appetizers is just poor form, especially since the event doesn't start until 6pm. While I had initially enjoyed the atmosphere and the cleanliness of the bar, this was a major turn off. There's many other places in Nashville where I can spend my money... read more

We were in town for conference and came to Category 10 to learn some line dancing. The atmosphere is beautiful and comfortable, a nice change from Broadway dive bars. The ladies teaching line dance steps were professional, fun, and kept the steps basic and not intimidating. I love that there were multiple sessions of lessons! I took the 6:30pm and then 8pm. In between, they had a beautiful light show and the talented Amber Leigh performed! The cocktails were good. Food was average. Look forward to visiting again! read more

Category 10 is easily one of the better honky tonk bars in Nashville. It just off Lower Broadway, so that it is a little separated from the craziness that happens in front of most of the honky tonks. That's a big plus in my book! Category 10 is spacious with multiple floors, and I've found the service is generally good. I've not tried the food (yet), but what I saw looked surprisingly good. I'm not normally one to hit the honky tonk scene, but when I do, Category 10 is one of the nicer options, for sure. read more

We tried going in on a Sunday night around 9:30 for the bars, and were obviously ID'ed (we only a year post-grad, so duh). However, the bouncer thought my ID was fake because I was the only one in my group of 5 to have a PA license. We were all 23-24, and I used to live in the state they all had IDs from, but I moved to PA in the last year. Bouncer immediately took attitude with me and I did hash it right back, but its frustrating when he wouldn't even allow me to prove its real other than bending it almost to the point of breaking it & using the UV light on it for almost 20 seconds. We had no other experience like this with any other bar. This guy just wanted to act big I guess. I won't hold it againt Luke Combs but dude get nicer bouncers. read more

I was so excited when I saw that Luke Comb's bar was opening the weekend before me and my friends visited Nashville! The ambiance was so fun! We happened to be there when there was line dancing and we also got to see the chandelier fixture which lit up based on the music, which made it just like Omnia in Vegas. Drink wise, it was the best drink I had from all the bars! I believe I got the Sippin' on Peach. It was the perfect mix of sweet and tart. I do think it could have been a tad stronger. Even the women's restroom on the upper floor was aesthetic! I would definitely say Category 10 is one of the most aesthetic of them all. read more

This is for 5 leaf clover sports bar on the third floor. I'm sure this will be a 4 star place in the near future, they just have to work the kinks out. We came here to watch a Gators game and it was almost completely full, but we got lucky to get a seat at a table. I really wanted to sit in one of the comfy chairs but probably not the best seat option for eating chicken wings anyways... The ambiance is pretty typical sports bar, I like the blue lights in the ceiling and the rows of comfortable arm chairs reminds me of my favorite sports bar in Vegas. That's definitely unique for Nashville and I'm for sure coming back for those. Unfortunately the food was very uneven. The hamburger was not the best choice, it did not feel fresh, but more pre-cooked-re-heated. The bun was hard and on top of that the waffle fries where cold. The hush puppies were good and the chicken wings were a m a z I n g! The wings were perfectly crispy fried and had a spicy Sriracha glaze (apparently Luke's family recipe) that was so dang good! It came with three dipping sauces (fun!) and the Cayenne Ranch was our absolute favorite. The service was ok, but it just felt like most people there were a little lost, a little slow, a little new. So totally fixable. I'll be back! read more

Category 10 is a great place to bring your under 21's as long as you're done before 9pm. They have a spacious second floor with plenty of tables to view either the front stage or main stage in the back (which happened to be closed when we were there) Southern Black eyed pea Hummus Served with garlicky flatbread crackers. Medium flavor strength and very tasty, likely not enough for 2-3 people. Highly recommend, as it is good til the last scoop. Home style Venison Meatloaf Smoked tomato sauce and comes with mashed potatoes and sorghum glazed carrots. As you would expect, it is a little gamey, so I knew it was authentic. This particular cut, tasted slightly old, however. Cat 10 Caesar Salad Romaine, Kale, shaved Parmesan, classic Caesar dressing, with charred baguette. Another well put together entree with a finessed dressing and fresh crunchy greens. Service and music (like so many other places) are good here. It's also down one of the side streets off Broadway so not hard to get in and be seated. That's all... read more

Beautiful venue. Great service and drinks. Line dance teachers were awesome. But PLEASE book bands that play songs for the line dancers so we can enjoy the gorgeous dance floor. Floor was empty except during lessons and line dancers were disappointed. ADDED back for lunch. 90's alternative rock on stage. Band tried to sing Luke's When it Rains it Pours. At least they tried. As the venue with the best dance floor and the one people go to for line dancing it is surprising that the music doesn't match. read more

Category 10 - The first floor! - Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

There are a few items that don't make it a 5-star, but I really do love this place. We went there a few times since our VRBO was very close. Make sure you check on their hours because they host a lot of private events, especially on week days. First night we went there, it was busy. Had dinner at a table right next to the dance floor. That was a little weird, but fine. It was crowded and just a little awkward trying to chow down while people are line dancing a foot away from you. Our server, Victoria, was great. Why? Because when I asked for her recommendations, she was straight with us. Told us her favorites and items she did not care for and why. My husband had the Bootlegger Burger. Nothing special, but fine. I had the whole wings with apple butter BBQ sauce. Yes, a daring move in a crowded, line dancer filled bar while the band played. Let me tell you, those wings were saucy and messy. They were good. They are full wings: drummies, flats, and tips. Sweet sauce if you like that. The food was okay. That is most of the reason for not 5-star rating. Because it was crowded, we were soon joined by some fun, rowdy drunks. Had a blast with them. The band was Miller Holler. They were excellent. If you like line dancing or just want to try it out. They have lessons every so often. Check their website for times. This whole place reminded me of a Vegas-ish club. The giant light fixture over the dance floor is fun to watch. It changes colors and things slide down from it. The big screens next to the stage are pretty nice too. This is probably one of the biggest stages in any of the Nashville bars. There is an awesome sports viewing bar upstairs. It was closed when we were there, but I will check it out at some point. The rooftop bar is a refreshing change. Most of the rooftop bars have a view of Broadway. This one gives you a view of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium. The band upstairs during the day was also great. Fun place to go. Check it out. I'll definitely be back. read more
