While it's a little difficult to find (tucked away in the Sylvan park neighborhood and behind the Nashville ballet...) and parking is somewhat limited (valet was available for this event though which made it perfect!), it's definitely worth it when you get there. Green glass gives the front a modern look. When you enter the venue, you ascend a red carpeted circular staircase to the top floor, where we were greeted with a cocktail hour set up near the windows. When it was time for dinner, a wall was removed and we were able to move into the rest of the space which had been decorated with twinkle lights and table settings. Noah Liff provided a perfect backdrop for a great evening!

However, when you get back there, it is such a pretty space with nice people working there. I helped with the Medium and was able to watch it, as well. The opera itself was good. I liked that it wasn't super lengthy and got to the point of the story line. Overall, great space and I would go back.

Aerial is a gorgeous venue! You have a perfect view of the Batman building from the rooftop. I went…read morehere for a happy hour event sponsored by my job. They served us delicious appetizers, including mini hot chicken bites, cheeseburger sliders, chicken sliders, mini grilled cheese, and these little skewers with mozzarella, basil, and tomato. The bartenders were very friendly and efficient. They didn't have a huge selection, and the drinks were a little high-priced, although comparable to other places downtown. I liked that the bar was accessible from both inside and outside, and both the indoor and outdoor areas were welcoming and comfortable. They had comfortable couches to relax on as well as tables that you could stand at in order to have a conversation. The only complaint I had was that they ran out of food less than halfway through our event. I'm not sure if that was entirely their fault, though; we were a huge group (~200 people) and were very hungry! I would definitely like to come back here again, although I'm not sure when that will be since it is not open to the public and is only reserved for private events. Maybe I'll get lucky and know someone who has their wedding reception there or something!

I feel like Aerial's old reviews are out of date and no longer valid. Therefore: TA-DA! I am here…read moreto update you! Aerial is no longer open to the public. Apparently it used to be open on Sunday's, but that was before my time. It is now a clean lined, beautiful private venue overlooking Broadway. I attended a good friend's wedding reception there this past weekend and was excited to wander my way to the rooftop. Security was great, the bar staff was excellent and I truly enjoyed the view. It was nice to have your own private oasis on Broadway while looking down at the hustle and bustle of the Honky Tonk scene. Since this space is mostly an open-air patio, I was a little nervous about the weather. The glassed-in room with couches was cute though. Although not a huge space, I would definitely recommend Aerial for smaller, more intimate parties.

This place is MASSIVE! We got there during the check in rush, and they had just had their systems…read moredown so there was hundreds of people in the lobby trying to check in. They had staff directing guests to different check in counters. I was able to do a mobile check in and get into a line just to pick up keys. I was given our keys and a map with the location of our room and the easiest way to get there. We headed out of the lobby and toward what we thought was were our room was, made it past Wasabi before we were lost. A bell hop stopped and asked if we needed help with our luggage, and though we didn't, we did need directions. Mike, kindly loaded up our luggage and walked us over to the correct tower and to our room. We would have never found it with out him. We saw many people through the week make it to the same place we did and get that same confused look. Not because the directions or signs aren't clear but because of how large this place is! Mike told us that this is the LARGEST non-gaming property in the country. Everything about this place is beautiful! I would love to have an indoor garden like this, it was so nice and peaceful even when there were thousands of guests roaming around during the day it was tranquil. They have an indoor river with boat ride, multiple resturants, shops and conference spaces. It was located right down the road from the Opryland Mall (which is also huge). The rooms themselves were like a normal hotel room, pillows were extremely comfortable. The housekeeping staff was friendly and did a great job while we were there. We did really like that they had 2 sinks one inside the bathroom & one outside as well as multiple mirrors. Made grtting ready for our conference much easier. The down falls were the walls are paper thin and you can hear people in the next room or in the hallways and the doors didnt shut fully without being slammed. I heard they are currently undergoing a 131M dollar expansion adding additional conference spaces, they had some closed roads in the area due to the construction but nothing to bad. I would love to stay here again, it was magical walking through the corridors.

The hotel is massive and very difficult to navigate. I joked the main topic of conversation throughout the week was how often you for lost and how many steps you'd taken. Due to its massive size you can stay onsite for days and not feel cooped up. There are multiple shops, restaurants, bars, a really nice fitness center and a water park. Conference area has better food than most conferences I attend. I wouldn't necessarily choose to stay here, keep in mind there are a lot of kids running around too, but other than the poor layout, it was a nice hotel

The first thing I noticed is there is plenty of free parking, so I don't have to park down the street or pay to park. Next I noticed that it is really well designed. The interior is a tasteful modern decor that is comfortable and welcoming for spending long amounts of time. The decor has a little bit of a fun feel which makes meetings better. There seems to be a few different buildings tied in with Center 615 and I am curious about the other buildings. I recommend for a space for office and meeting needs.

I don't usually leave a review with such acrimony, but this venue has to be the worst I've ever…read morebeen to here in Nashville. We paid $280 for VIP tickets to Ryan Castro because my wife is Colombian and wanted to see him in concert. However, the venue is disorganised for the following reasons: 1. The line to get in was around the block, and if I hadn't checked in with security, we wouldn't have known we could bypass the line; 2. The VIP areas themselves are up on the sides and only a small number of people can stack up on the sides of the balcony to see. Thankfully, we were able to find a gap but many people were upset because they felt like they paid extra for nothing. They have cheap, small TVs for other "VIPs" to see the action if they're not lucky enough to get to the edge. Security and the event organisers were also rude, and failed to set up the tables properly so all the fans took them and put them near the edge, creating a wall. To security's credit, they eventually noticed and got people to move them back, but at this point the experience was extremely irritating. Thankfully, we were able to squeeze in near one edge of the balcony and get a view, but not everyone was able to. Poor management and perhaps a worse design. The bar was also poorly stocked, though the bartenders were friendly. Due to all these issues, I will never come back to this establishment. I'm giving it two stars because we were eventually able to see despite the plethora of issues, and the view of the city was nice. Go to the Ryman or Pinnacle for small concerts - this is not the place.

Our visit was relatively brief and was limited to a quick walkthrough, a pen purchase as the Nashville Technical Lounge, whiskey and wine tasting (primarily Gayle and Erin), a Johnny Cash t-Shirt purchase at the "Storyteller" business, a cool look at the vintage cars across the street, and me posing in front of an old Shell Oil gas station. The building itself was worth the visit.

I just appreciate that the city still has at least 1 downtown adjacent lot they haven't sold out to private companies who gouge the citizens of Nashville and hurt local businesses by forcing customers to pay something like $45 for an hour of parking. While an event, like a Preds game, might spike the price to park here at MCC up to $20, it's typically just $15 to park here for an entire evening or day. You can walk pretty much anywhere in downtown from here if you like. So rather than pay the highway robbery of those other PNC and Metropolis lots (companies who regularly face lawsuits for price gouging and unethical business practices, including a recent Nashville settlement by Metropolis) I always opt for a spot here to walk. Just think, in another world/time/era, this would just be the standard with the city owning lots at reasonable rates and using that money for city improvements rather than private companies charging astronomical fees to line their own pockets.
