    Super cool bar with very friendly staff. I highly recommend you let Cobra work its snake charms on you if you're in East Nashville.

    Is it a safe place in and around the location? My son wants to go alone loves rock? High functioning autistic young man. Does smirk nor drinks

    You can look at a police blotter to compare safety to other parts of Nashville. Asking if a certain place is safe is a matter of opinion, life experiences, and culture. I grew up in East Nashville, this is my neighborhood. Nothing has ever… Read more

    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!

If you are looking for a loud bar with hundreds of people talking over the band, this place isn't for you...But, if you are looking for a venue where you can hear a pin drop than this is the place. Vero and Emily (the owners) are an incredible team who have successfully cultivated a unique and standout environment. The live music scene in east Nashville might not be what it once was pre pandemic, but the Bowery Vault is on the front end of a revitalization... Go here, you won't be sorry you did.

The atmosphere is exceedingly diverting, and the service unfailingly attentive. Their selection of drinks and cocktails proves most agreeable, and the live music, I must say, is of exceptional quality lending the evening an air of spirited delight. The company one finds there is likewise pleasing; a convivial crowd, ever inclined to dancing and merriment. It is, in every respect, a most entertaining place to pass an evening. I would also note, with satisfaction, that the burgers are by no means lacking in merit.

We placed an order for two cocktails and we opened up a tab. We then proceeded to place an order of food. We finished our cocktails and finished our food. After waiting for about 15 minutes and no one acknowledged us, we waved one of the bartenders down as she approached the cash register and requested to close out. The bartender seemed bothered that we flagged her down and quickly turned back using a micro aggressive tone and responded that she needed to complete helping a customer before she can help us. I have worked in customer service/food and cocktail industry and her tone/response was completely unnecessary. We have been to a few "dive" bars in the past In CA, NY, AZ, TX, AL and other parts of Tennessee and we have never encountered a response like that before. Maybe it was a busy Saturday afternoon or maybe they do not cater to diversity. Regardless we will not be returning.

I remember attending some underground metal and…read morepunk shows back in the pre-plague days, seem to remember some ratty couches scattered about in this space. My partner and I hit up one of the "Fascination Street" goth dance nights this past weekend and had an absolute blast. Perfect environment for that, great DJs and an active, friendly, engaged crowd. Drinks are farily priced (for real, like it's not hard Nashville!), and...it's actually clean in here?! Including the bathrooms! Of course, do your best to not have to go to the bathroom while here because it will take you 30 minutes or so to get through the line to reach the stall (but once there it's private and clean, sink within). It's just a really cool space from the stage you can dance on if you choose to plenty of other spaces to dance less in the "spotlight", some chairs and tables and balcony area to relax and chill out a bit as well. Parking can be a beast--there's a free lot out front but with just a few spots, street parking is not super plentiful or prevalent. There are a lot of businesses with full lots and since pretty much anything you come to here is after those businesses are closed one in theory SHOULD be able to park there, but there's a sign that says the Walgreens def tows after midnight (for those 2 am shoppers to a closed location?)--we took a chance at another business and were lucky.
