    This might be my favorite bar on Broadway Street. Drinks are pretty standard, I'm a garage beer or equivalent guy so not much needs to impress me there. But it's the bar layout and live music that really sealed it for me. We came here with a large group for a bachelor party...every night we were here. Upstairs most of the time looking down at the band who acknowledged us every time as the crazy group yelling. One night they actually brought us down to hangout for a bit during a setlist break. It's just a different atmosphere here. Other bars are pretty similar but this one really books great entertainers, keeps everyone safe, and keeps drinks flowing as quickly as you want them. It's a really open venue so there's plenty of room to bring a group in and hangout. Each night we ended here when the bar closed and I am very happy we did. This place is a MUST SEE.

    After watching multiple seasons of The Voice, Gayle is convinced that I have a country-bro crush on Blake. I think that's a bit overstated, but when we were in Nashville I did stop into Ole Red one weekday afternoon. My visit was limited to the ground floor of which there was a nice band playing concert style while being able to talk at the table over a drink. It was way past our bedtime to be here late at night on weekend, with my guess being that things may gyrate up a bit on stage and on the dance floor. Service was pleasant, relaxed, and welcoming. Gayle and I subsequently passed by on our last afternoon and with some time on our hands. There's also an Ole Reds at the Nashville Airport near Gate C3.

    Very fun bar

    Cash Crawford played she sounds amazing. Drinks are a bit pricey but as expected. Love the feel of the bar and of course everyone is friendly. Who isn't a fan of Blake Shelton this is the first place I got on the strip

    Rooftop band
    Jessi K.

    We stopped in for a few drinks and some ambiance. The rooftop is one of the highest on the strip. Lots of stairs though so be ready! But well worth it. There's an inside and an outside to the rooftop which was nice because it was 100 degrees out. The rooftop has such an array of different seating. Couches, tables, fun chairs. It's really a neat ambiance! And there's a band up there!

    Ma's Meatloaf

    We ate early dinner at the rooftop inside bar on a Saturday around 3:30/4pm. The live music was great! They were engaging with the tables/crowds and taking requests. Server was great, (Samareha was her name.) She was BUSY but always checked on us and didn't make us feel neglected. Drinks were better than the food. Loaded tots were just ok/typical bar food. Ma's meatloaf was delicious! The best thing on the plate were the Brussel sprouts and I thought I didn't even like them...these changed my mind!

    Nachos
    Jeremy W.

    Just stopped in for nachos and a beer. Music is great as always. Bands for this weekend rocked it. Service is always spot on. I love it here

    Nashville hot chicken burrito

    While visiting Nashville I had a chance to try Ole Red. The bar itself had a great atmosphere with a great house band playing. The food was good but didn't have a lot of chicken inside. It came out hot and full of flavor. Great lunch spot if you are in the area.

    The food was amazing! I liked their setup for live music as well. Very cool that the middle of the second story is cutout so you can look over the stage. I also like that the third story is a totally different vibe. The service was great too!

    Brisket nachos
    Rachel M.

    On the way back home we decided to try Ole Red again. This time we were at the Nashville Airport. My husband and I shared the chicken and waffles. Delicious! And our waitress was fantastic!! Her name is Memphis. Maybe the nachos were a one off. We have an Ole Reds here in Oklahoma so we will be trying that location.

    Solid grilled chicken sandwich but the pulled pork tasted like it had fake smokiness to it. Not the best overall experience.

    Are there games, like on the TV Show?

    When we were there we didn't see any games. That would have been fun tho. -Lee

    Is there a kids menu for food?

    There didn't appear to be one during our visit a few months ago, but we didn't have any kiddos with us.

Need less to say we continued inside. I'm no sure if this is handicap assessible as we walkeeld up a lil incline to steps. When entering we were looked at in a way that was not warming. However, a voice came from the bar area with directions. We chose to to the flight. The choices were selected with a little help from the bar. They came out pretty quickly. The tasting started and it out of 5, only one did not have a nasty and strong hoppy/bitter after taste. The select were Passion fruit, Hippies and Cowboy, Southern Wit, Urban Hiker, and Wildwood. As we spent our time no one seem to as if we needed anything or if our selection were ok. We got some "why are you in here type" looks. I was not impressed by this brewery. The customer service and my sensing of being not welcome was high. Note we were the only patrons. I would not return.

We absolutely loved hearing the people behind the music in such an intimate venue. There is ample room in the theater for seating and dining. The food was very reasonably priced and good quality. They have a limited staff, please don't expect typical dining experiences. Atmosphere (5/5): A cozy, yet vibrant setting. Sound resonated well throughout the theater and not many bad seats to see the stage. Price (5/5): Admission was about $20 per person a food ranges from $10 - $50. They do require a table minimum of 15 per person that needs to go towards drinks or food. Food (4/5): Food quality was decent. The bread on the turkey sandwich was a little dry, while the onions rings were a little soggy. Service (4/5): They do work on a limited staff and each of them are artists.

Gayle, Jim, Erin, and I were here at the 6 PM show on 4/29/26 that featured Jason Duke, Keesy Trimmer, and Chris Bondi. We actually met Keesy when we were walking to the venue as his car pulled up and he asked if we were heading to the Listening Room? When we said yes, he was very excited. We were too at the end of the evening, with all of us agreeing that this was one of, if not the highlight of our trip to Nashville. The Listening Room itself is a large and acoustically solid room within what looked like an old International Harvester Farm Equipment Building. Food and Drink are served and I believe there was a minimum in addition to the admission price. This is normally not a place that you can walk in, so buy your tickets early. We found the food to be "adequate", the service very good, and a 5 Star show experience. Each songwriter took turns with a number, explained some background on it, name dropped artists who recorded their songs, and told some great stories. It seems like the Nashville songwriting community knows each other well, which might explain the easy familiarity all 3 had with each other and their individual song writing efforts. We might have related to Chris Bondi a little more, especially after singing the "I Bet You Would Have Loved Her" tear jerker, and a really funny one on getting high while skiing. Keesy had a great one about a boat and "Time Makes Money Look Cheap" cowritten by him and others and recorded by Chris Janson. Jason Duke showcased "Dibs" that was recorded by Kelsea Ballerini. Or was it "That Could Still Be Us" performed by Keith Urban? Our only regret was that tickets were still available for the 9 PM show (with a new songwriting team) and we passed it up. Post Note: Gayle's song title idea for Keesy: Don't go Puking on my Boots. :)
