Top Broadway Nightlife Spots to Start Your Nashville Night Right
The Heart of Music City
Lower Broadway is the undisputed center of Nashville's nightlife. With neon lights, live music spilling out of every open window, and an energy that never quits, it's a must-visit for any group. But with so many options, where should you start? Here are our top picks to kick off your night after your luxury ride drops you off.
1. Tootsie's Orchid Lounge
You can't miss the bright purple exterior of Tootsie's. It's an absolute Nashville institution. With three floors of live music and a rooftop that looks out over the Cumberland River, it's the perfect place to grab your first drink. The history here is palpable, and the bands are always top-tier.
2. Acme Feed & Seed
Located at the very end of Broadway near the river, Acme offers a slightly different vibe. The first floor features a fun, modern take on classic honky-tonk, while the rooftop provides some of the best views in the city. It's spacious, making it great for larger groups who just stepped off their group ride.
3. Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar
If you're looking for a modern, high-energy mega-bar, this is it. It features a massive tractor bar, incredible live music, and a rooftop that seamlessly connects to Luke Bryan's bar next door. It's loud, it's fun, and it's exactly what you expect from a Nashville night out.
