View from roof

Very busy rooftop bar/restaurant. There are several floors to the building. Only 2 floors have full menu. We had to ask around to understand the process once someone lets you up the elevator. You order at the bar, receive a number and find a seat. Brittany at the bar is very businesslike but helpful - just very busy! Our food arrived in about 15min. The collards and riblets are not hot so I sent back the collards but was too hungry to wait on more riblets since that was my full meal. Hubby's burger and Mac and cheese was hot and delicious. If in the area, I'd visit again.

Chief's on Broadway Chief's on Broadway is hands down one of the coolest spots on the strip. From the moment you walk in, it feels elevated but still rowdy in the best Nashville way. The space is beautiful--rustic, modern, and thoughtfully designed--with incredible views of Broadway the higher you go. The live music was fantastic, and the sound quality really stood out compared to other bars nearby. It felt less chaotic and more intentional, which made it easy to actually enjoy the music while still having that high-energy Broadway buzz. Drinks were well made and service was solid, especially considering how busy it gets. The crowd was lively but not overwhelming, and the whole place just felt... cool. Like you're somewhere special, not just another bar hop stop. If you want a break from the madness without losing the fun, Chief's is absolutely the move. It's stylish, energetic, and has a vibe that sticks with you long after you leave. Definitely one of my favorite stops on Broadway.

*Ashley McBryde's Redemption Bar - 5th Floor of Chief's* Walking into Ashley McBryde's Redemption Bar felt like a reset from the chaos of Broadway. It's on the 5th floor of Eric Church's Chief's building. It's a dark and moody, smallish bar that feels more hometown than big city. The focus on zero-proof cocktails which is great for anyone not wanting to drink alcohol or for a mid-day NA drink. I tried the drink called One Night Standards, which came with a Ring Pop! My husband tried the Sam Adam's NA IPA, which I actually liked more than my drink! They had food, but we opted just for drinks. They have a ton of fun options, all inspired by country music artist Ashley McBryde's music. There is an intimate music setup in the corner, and the music that day was great! It's calm without being boring at all. Pretty cool spot to check out if you're wanting to step away from the chaos of Broadway.

One of the best places on Broadway. So many options to choose from on each floor ultimately makes this place a great stop for a large group. Barbecue sandwiches here are incredibly great. They are definitely low country South Carolina style. I personally like the third floor out of all of the options available. Both day and night this floor host dueling pianos - you will love it.

Fun bar on Broadway! I love the first floor bar atmosphere, but honestly each floor was awesome. I stopped in for the music row happy hour show by the highway -- super cool to see this live after hearing about it on the radio for years. Bar was easy to navigate and seemed like a popular place to be. I'd for sure come back again!

Brisket Sandwich* Mac & Cheese
Janette L.

Food: I ordered the brisket sandwich at the recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint. It was probably some of the most tender, juicy, delicious melt-in-your-mouth brisket I've ever had. It was a rather simple sandwich with just the meat between the buns. A side order of Mac and cheese complemented my meal and there was ketchup and bbq sauce. That part was just ok, but the Mac and cheese was also delicious. I'd come back for the food alone. Service: We were on the roof and ordered food and drinks at the bar counter - then found a seat along the ledge for the view. They brought our food out to us on trays. After that there wasn't really any additional check in, but I don't mind that. Ambiance: The rooftop is great for views albeit a little small. There was a DJ playing and it was reasonable as far as noise goes, in mid afternoon/early evening on a Friday. I'd definitely come back for the food. Haven't been later at night so can't say what the vibe is. Overall I had a good time here. I'm pretty easygoing so the experience didn't disappoint.

Probably the worst bar experience on broadway. My friends and I came here for 1 last drink before we went home for the night because someone we know was playing in the band. Upon arrival, we got seats at the bar and got our orders taken from the bartender on the first floor. First of all, broadway in general is crazy expensive but this bartender gave us top shelf without us asking just to charge us more which I didn't like. After we got our drinks (1 tequila soda, 2 vodka sodas, and a miller lite), we realized the bartender made a mistake and made 2 tequila sodas instead of 2 vodka sodas. We literally had only taken 2 sips when we told him and asked very nicely if he could remake the one drink correctly. He then got super mad and threw the drink in the garbage very aggressively. My friend didn't like his attitude regarding his own mistake, so she said never mind we don't want you to make us another one forget about it and the bartender freaked out and told us byeeee. He tried to get us kicked out of the bar but luckily the security guards were on our side and even told us that that specific bartender is know to be a diva. The security team/bouncers were all very nice, it was just that terrible experience with that shitty bartender that gives this place 2 stars. With so many bars on broadway your place really has to stand out to be successful. If you have shitty staff you're not going to do well.

Great spot for a drink on Broadway when visiting Nashville. We arrived Friday afternoon and saw a few bands on multiple levels who were mostly playing covers but respectable. Of course, we went to the top floor (6?) for The Drink. For those in the know, MW "might" have tossed a chair from here and Eric's team made a drink out of it. One apology and plea deal later, EC has a sugary drink with props ready to please Sheeple like us. Overall, great experience. Mediocre tribute drink. Bar is solid though, good bourbon selection. I'll be back to see bands in the evening.

5th floor bar eating area

To be honest... I was disappointed. I love his music but his bar wasn't great. Small main level and only a portion of it can see the stage. I don't like the design or layout. Went to the 5th floor because 2-4 weren't open (reserve for events of performers and we were visiting during lunch on a weekday). The 5th is a small restaurant with a good but limited menu. Extremely friendly staff and food cake out quick, but very expensive (as everything around Broadway is). I hate being a downer, but there are several other better places in town for music and food.

Fun place for great music with food options. My husband and I enjoyed listening to the dueling pianos, an afternoon of listening to great musicians, and an evening enjoying a show in the Neon Steeple. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Nashville. Being from TX, the BBQ is different than our norm but tasty. I would recommend a better wine option in the restaurant.

5 stories of music and food. Went for lunch at the recommendation of the visitor office by the hockey coliseum. The place i wanted to go to was closed. I wanted bbq. The pulled pork from a giant hog they claimed; was good but too peppery for me. The bbq sauce was meh. The beans and mac n cheese were good. Music was very good. I went to several floors.

The special during Nashville's hot chicken week. I prefer the Alabama white sauce to the hot sauce. Loved the potato salad side-  $ extra
Holly T.

Local Nashvillian- we came for lunch on a February Saturday to try out the hot chicken special. No problem getting a table. Our server was kind to us and replenished our drinks without asking, which I love. Hubby got the hot chicken sandwich and loved it, I got it too but with the Alabama white sauce and it was awesome! The two pieces of chicken were huge and I couldn't finish it. We each got a side, loved my potato salad but did not care at all for the mac and cheese. Rodney Scott hits home runs here! We are so glad we came and tasted a few things. The dining area is small but we scored a booth overlooking Broadway and it's fun to watch the crowd down below. Restrooms were nice and clean, and it's a fun place to try.

2nd floor - SO nostalgic and reminds me of my grandma's with the lamps.
Alicia K.

LOVED Cody Atkins and his partner on floor 2 where they played their original music for hours. Was so chill and welcomed intimate feel. Loved the decor all throughout!!!!! The rooftop was beautiful and we can't wait to see Ashley McBryde's new bar on the 5th floor. Opening in late August/early September 2025!

Thai Indian bbq fusion…read more Super unique combo and cool vibe / staff I liked the pork sausage curry best- had a curry queso which was rly creamy and unique. Magic mushroom lacked mushroom flavor but curry flavor was very good. Creamed corn was so unique and flavorful. Cold noodles had an amazing homemade chili sauce. Overall super comforting and a very wintery/ comfort food/ under the weather type of meal

I stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon recently, and it was packed. We ordered at the bar and had our food in less than five minutes! Everything I've tried here has been incredible. They smoke all the meats in-house (YUM), and everything on the menu is unique and packed with flavor. You can't go wrong with the Pulled Pork Nachos, Brisket Smoke Show, or the Tony Porker. The rich curry paired with the tender smoked brisket is mind-blowing. The sides are just as good, and don't skip the Ube Cheesecake! There's a small parking lot beside the building and another free lot a short walk down the street. Parking can be a little tricky during busy times, but it's worth it. Seating inside is limited but comfortable. I love the cozy, homey feel, friendly staff, and unique menu!

My first visit to Edley's was fantastic! There are a few parking spots in the front for pickup…read moreorders, but plenty of parking behind the building. This location has a laid back, casual vibe with counter service and a full bar. I visited on a busy weekday evening, but the line to order moved quickly. After grabbing our drinks, it was only a few minutes before our food arrived. I ordered the smoked turkey plate with green beans, mac n cheese and cornbread. The turkey was smoked to perfection and was a huge portion. The mac n cheese had a great breadcrumb topping. I don't usually like coleslaw, but the small side that arrived with my meal was delicious!! Our group also tried the BBQ fries, which were incredible. After just one visit, I made sure to download the app -- I'll definitely be back!

Great Spot For Barbecue…read more I stopped into Edleys on Lebanon Pike to try out some of their barbecue dishes. This location is close to BNA and hotels near the airport. Edley's has locations in Nashville and other areas of Tennessee. On this visit, I was looking for something different from my usual barbecue staple,s which are brisket, ribs and steaks. I ordered the Chicken Platte,r which comes with half a smoked chicken, a side of beans, coleslaw, corn bread and pickles. The chicken was very flavourful and was a very healthy portion, and I was almost unable to try the beans and the cornbread. Overall, it was a decent-sized meal that I was barely able to finish. Edleys makes great chicken, and I would try it again if I have a chance to go back.
