But if you're looking for an authentic, old-school Nashville music experience, this IS the place! It's crowded. It's hot. Personal space does not exist. Claustrophobics should plan accordingly. The night we were there, they had a bluegrass jam going, and it was fantastic. Close your eyes and you could imagine yourself sitting in some West Virginia holler listening to a bunch of incredibly talented musicians just playing because they love to play. It was uncomfortable, crowded, hot, completely authentic--and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Station Inn is Nashville the way you hope Nashville still exists.

The door opens…read moreat 7:00, and seating is first come first serve, so people line up early and down the block in hopes of getting in. Once inside, people make a mad dash to claim their seats, and they squeeze in as tight as they can. Popcorn, Jack's-like pizza served on paper plates and buckets of beer are available, and the line is long. The music here IS phenomenal, without a doubt. That alone is worth the visit, but be prepared to wait in line and feel like a sardine stuffed in a tin. Not for the claustrophobic,

We stopped by Pete's Dueling Piano Bar over Labor Day weekend while I was in Nashville with some…read morefriends for a football game. We had been exploring different parts of Nashville throughout the weekend, and Pete's was definitely one of the more entertaining stops we made. The atmosphere here was exactly what you would expect from a dueling piano bar. The music was loud, energetic, and a lot of fun. The pianists did a great job keeping the crowd involved, and there was a good mix of songs that had everyone singing along. It was one of those places where you can walk in not knowing exactly what to expect and quickly find yourself having a great time. Going with a group of friends made it even better. We were able to grab some drinks, relax, laugh, sing along, and just enjoy the experience. There was a great energy in the room, and the performers really knew how to keep things moving. After spending the weekend in Nashville for the football game, this was a great way to experience another side of the city. We had already visited several historical landmarks and other Nashville attractions, so spending some time at a lively piano bar was a nice change of pace. We had a great time at Pete's and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for live entertainment and a fun night out in Nashville. It was a memorable stop during our Labor Day weekend trip with friends.

There's also random couches on stage and apparently it's perfectly fine to sit on them while everyone is staring from on the floor.

From start to end I couldn't have been happier with my experience at Odie's. I was greeted at the door by the biggest happiest guy ever named Ced who was coincidentally the manager too!

Ced suggested trying their food, big man knew the secrets. I got a Odie's classic burger with bacon and GOLLY THAT WAS GOOD! While enjoying my food and drink In their awesome bar (it has a boat inside!!!) I was checked on multiple times by the server/bartenders, but when I wanted some more napkins there was only their jacked security guys around, I believe his name was Ryan, he could tell I wanted something and offered a helping hand.

I could have stayed all day drinking them! And then stumbled out! The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because the service wasn't very friendly, I don't think our server smiled even one time, she told us the potato salad had mustard on it, I'm about 99% sure it did not. They don't have any sweetener for the tea, and I really wanted to buy a short, but the merchandise area was smaller than my closet and the shirts they did have were pretty icky quality. I was super disappointed with that. Next time I'm in Nashville I'd go again for the food and drinks and fun atmosphere and hope for a friendlier server.

Absolutely fantastic after a long day. We went back on Friday night and for us it was too loud and packed, and the vibe was totally different, which we understand. It skewed more college esq and was louder than we liked so we left, but appreciate that things shift to appeal to various crowds at different times. Still a great spot with lots of history to check out.

I still believe the way they handled it was reckless and dangerous. My friends and I were waiting in a long line for the women's restroom. I really had to use the bathroom and was leaning against the wall when the male bathroom attendant offered, unprompted, to let us use the empty men's stall. We accepted. Moments later, someone began pounding on the door, shaking the handle, and yelling at us to get out. No one identified themselves, though I asked who it was and asked them to stop. I assumed it was an aggressive drunk patron, so I yelled back, asking them to stop. I would never have said what I did if I'd known it was staff. When I opened the door, two bouncers and a security guard were waiting. I apologized and explained right away that the attendant had invited us in. He looked directly at me and denied it. The bouncers then accused us of sneaking into the men's room and refused to hear anything else. As they escorted us out, I told the bouncer my phone was at our table with friends and asked to get it. He grabbed my arm, pushed me toward a different exit, and told me I'd have to get it "another way." I was put outside at night, impaired, with no phone and no way to call a ride, two miles from where I was staying, in an area that wasn't safe to walk alone. I got home safely only because the friends with me had their phones, though they didn't have the phone numbers of the people I was with that had my phone; after many Instagram DMs and calls, we finally were able to get their attention. Even while we waited outside, the bouncers kept taunting us. This happened just months after Riley Strain, a 22-year-old college student, was kicked out of a bar a few blocks away on Broadway. He left alone, his friends couldn't reach him, and he was found dead in the Cumberland River two weeks later. His death made national news and put a spotlight on how Nashville bars remove intoxicated patrons. Tootsies staff did the same thing to me anyway: they separated me from my group and my phone and pushed me out alone. The difference between my night and his is that my friends happened to have their phones. The next day, I walked past the same attendant in the alley beside the bar. He apologized to me. That apology confirmed what I said from the start, but it came a day too late to matter that night. Bars have to remove people sometimes, I understand that. There is a responsible way to do it, and putting a young woman out alone, impaired, and unable to contact anyone is not it. Staff never identified themselves, never let us explain, used physical force, and refused a simple request that would have taken thirty seconds (letting my grab my phone). After what happened to Riley Strain, there is no excuse for any Broadway bar to still handle removals this way. Any woman thinking of going here should know how this venue treats someone in a vulnerable situation.
