Party on Broadway – Downtown Nashville Best Bars

Anyone who has been will tell you the best place for Nashville Nightlife is Lower Broadway. This glittering street is packed with Honky Tonks and bars galore, each with incredible live music or coveted DJs. Broadway bars are famous for their multi-level entertainment with different bands and artists on each level! The big secret here is to head to the roof for an incredible view of the crazy party on Broadway. Lower Broadway is Nashville’s nightlife hotspot, and you’ll likely want to visit every place, so we recommend having a plan. Some hotspots include Morgan Wallen’s This Bar, Coyote Ugly Saloon, and Lucky Bastards Saloon. Just a couple of blocks from Broadway, don’t miss out on the vibrant atmosphere of Printers Alley and our personal favorite, Alley Taps.

Nashville Rooftop Bars

The Stage is another must-visit, famous for its live music and lively atmosphere. Friends in Low Places, Garth Brooks’s new bar, adds another layer of excitement with its unique vibe and excellent drinks. There is nothing like a Nashville rooftop bar to get the party started.

Join A Nashville Bar Crawl

Let us warn you- a Nashville bar crawl is like nothing you have ever experienced before. We’ve all heard of a pub crawl, but Crawl Nashville offers a VIP twist to the classic Nashville bar crawl experience. This Crawl will take you to multiple venues in one night, usually with included drinks, exclusive drink specials, and entry fees included. If you’re in the city for a short time, or if you have an aversion to planning, a Nashville bar crawl is a perfect way to take in the Nashville nightlife. Join other party-goers as the group hops from place to place, enjoying different bands, club-style joints, and popular Honky Tonks.

Party Until The Sun Comes Up

While the bars make Nashville nightlife so unique, the nightclubs are still something to behold. After you’ve had your fill of the well-known Honky Tonks, check out some of the famous nightclubs around town. For a more unique and intimate experience, visit the Patterson House, a great speakeasy in Midtown known for its exquisite cocktails and cozy atmosphere. A hidden gem in plain sight is Legends Corner, located on the corner of Broadway and 5th Ave. It embodies everything we love above Nashville. Live Music, great drinks, and a friendly atmosphere. Plus, they have $5 Jello-Shots. 😉

There are many unique spots to choose from when visiting this city of neon dreams. While you might not be able to hit them all, it is worth a try. If you’ve ever wondered what a country-western version of Vegas would feel like, look no further than Nashville. Don’t forget to pack those cowboy boots- you’ll need ’em.
