We came last week to attend a concert on a Friday night. This is a really cool little venue!…read more Parking wasn't a terrible struggle the night of, though we wound up paying a small fee to park at a bar that was down one building. Honestly, I was just relieved we found a spot within easy walking distance. We arrived a few minutes late unfortunately and the lights were already a little dim so I couldn't see the place as well as I wanted. Our tickets and IDs were checked as we walked in. The venue is located on the second floor above another business. The steps are a little steep to watch your heels if you're wearing them! Inside there's a small stage and a nice bar. Seating is pretty limited but for our concert the vibe was definitely super high energy/party focused so we didn't mind standing up to bounce and dance to the music. The bar has a nice array of specialty cocktails. I was very impressed with the bartender, Marc, who was attentive, fun, and hardworking. He even went out of his way to help the performer when a few small details went awry on the stage. I don't drink super often and what I wound up ordering didn't taste quite like how I'd hoped it would, but I'm more than willing to chalk that up to my relative inexperience and general ambivalence toward alcohol. The sound/acoustics were great and the whole place was bumpin! I would advise bringing ear plugs to protect your hearing if you're headed to a loud concert -- you'll inevitably be fairly close to the performer and therefore it can easily be suuuuuper loud with the mics and amps and whatnot. I had a great time but will try to remember mine next time! The only main drawback was it got hot inside super fast. We stood by the open entryway for much of the conference and even that airflow wasn't enough to keep us from leaving very, very sweaty lol. Bring water! Overall, a fun venue and a great night out for us! Thanks, TBV!

They had three bands on the bill and the headliner was celebrating a record release so the vibe in there was really positive as folks rotated on and off stage with friends brought on to play. It was very lovely to be included in such a joyful expression of their community and collaboration. The genre was a bit more singer songwriter so I'm not sure what it's like when there are heavier bands on stage but for what we saw the sound was pitch perfect as well. The space itself isn't huge but spacious enough. It felt cozy with the mood lighting and the layout of the floor lent itself more to intimate feel. There's a small bar on the side with easy access to no matter where you're at. There was also a small medical emergency at one point during the show and it was taken care of carefully and thoughtfully and the crowd really showed care and respect. It was a good vibe overall.

This is my first time at this venue and it reminds me of the Old Forrester Music Hall in Louisville. Limited seating, balcony views, and spartan decor. Full bar and large open concept with the possibility of dancing to the music. Several local patrons sitting near us filled me in more on the history of the property. Specifically, that it's not nearly as appealing as it used to be prior to changing ownership to a larger management group who apparently came in and "white washed" the place. They spoke wistfully of the prior decor and memorabilia that was removed and how much of the allure of the space was erased. After speaking with them, I wish I could have seen the place prior to now.

Most of their performances are at Marathon Music Works, though I have also seen shows at Darkhouse Theater and Exit In (I have reviews for all the venues) but the Marathon shows are the best. They have a Cabin Fever show each winter which is worth braving the cold for. They have done special shows with the touring Suicide Girls and with local songwriters. The tickets are always reasonably priced so there's no excuse not to go. These ladies are not strippers. They are dancers, classical and edgy. So many people I know are nervous about going to one of their shows but these are classy, fun girls providing classy, fun entertainment. The crowds are energetic and great to be a part of. The dancing is about tantalizing, teasing, enticing...and it's fun! Their skits are a combination of dance and humor and beauty. I would highly recommend attending one of these shows. You will not be disappointed. I am proud to say I attend every show I can and I bring anyone I can with me, and everyone has fun...so check out their website and check out their shows!

Don't go into the actual building where you'd access the main entrance. After you pull into the 1865 gate, park in the spaces facing you or close. The entrance into the club is behind the pool area. So the first building you see ahead (behind the ramp and around until you see a sign that says 1865 club) We were greeted by someone who sat just inside of the door who let us know that it was standing room only. We were ok with that since this was sort of impromptu. Once inside the club, it was beautiful! Low lights, beautiful decor, live music. We went to the bar and ordered cocktails. Luz was our bartender and the drinks were AMAZING!! There is not a person inside of Nashville who has made a better version of my favorite drink.
