Description

Live music, cold drinks, new friends — this is Nashville at its best. Join us as we hit 3–4 incredible music venues around Broadway and beyond. Each one has a different sound and vibe, but they all share one thing: top-tier live performances from real Nashville talent. No lines. No cover. Just great music and a damn good time. This is how you experience live music in Nashville.

Itinerary

1
Meet your guide and fellow crawlers at a renowned live music venue nestled in historic Printer’s Alley — a hidden gem of Nashville’s nightlife. 🎶 Enjoy performances from local original artists, blending well-known covers with their own original tracks. This venue has helped launch the careers of some of Music City’s best-kept secrets.
2
Next, the crawl heads to a bar located on 2nd Avenue, the former nightlife hub of Nashville before Broadway’s rise. 💵 Be sure to bring a $1 bill — the walls here are completely covered in money signed by guests from around the world. Make your mark and become a part of the story. 🪩 Soak in the local charm, live music, and an atmosphere that screams old-school Nashville.
3
Now it’s time to hit the main event: Broadway — the street that made Nashville world-famous. 🎸 Visit two legendary Broadway bars, each with its own story and impact on the city's music legacy. Enjoy live performances from Nashville artists, exclusive drink specials, and skip-the-line VIP access. 📚 Along the way, your guide will share insider stories about the venues, artists, and how Broadway became the heartbeat of Music City.
4
The night wraps up just steps from the legendary Ryman Auditorium — often called the “Mother Church of Country Music.” 📍 This final stop puts you in the perfect spot to continue the night out or grab a bite nearby. Your guide will be happy to offer recommendations for more live music, rooftop bars, and local favorites to keep the good times rolling.

Your Backstage Pass to Live Music in Nashville

🎤 The Experience:

This isn’t your average bar crawl — it’s a curated experience through the beating heart of Music City. The Nashville Live Music Bar Crawl takes you to 3–4 of the city’s most iconic live music venues, each featuring local artists performing live, and every stop with its own vibe, history, or wild story.

From hidden speakeasy lounges in Printer’s Alley, to upbeat spots on 2nd Avenue, and the world-famous Broadway strip, this crawl is all about getting off the tourist path and into the real Nashville music scene — the one locals live for.

Whether you're into country, rock, blues, or something in between, you’ll get a taste of it all. And the best part? Each venue offers exclusive drink specials, and you’ll enjoy skip-the-line VIP access — no waiting, no cover fees, just good music and great company.

 

🎗 A Tour With Heart:

One of our featured venues is more than just a music bar — it's a veteran-owned space that operates partially as a nonprofit, giving back to wounded veterans and their families. So, while you're enjoying the music and mingling, know you're supporting a meaningful mission, too.

  • 🎟 Skip-the-line access to 3–4 live music venues across Broadway, 2nd Ave, and Printer’s Alley

Frequently asked questions

Yes! All guests must bring a valid 21+ U.S. government-issued ID or passport. Unfortunately, bars in Tennessee do not accept photos, international driver’s licenses, or student IDs. If you're visiting from outside the U.S., bring your passport—we don’t make the rules, but the bars definitely enforce them.
Comfortable and casual is key—think “Nashville night out.” We’ll be indoors most of the time, but please check the weather just in case.
Sometimes! We always hit a mix of iconic spots and local favorites, but based on live music schedules and private events, the exact lineup may vary slightly. No matter what, you’ll get great music and great vibes.
This tour is all about the drinks and the music. Some venues may have food available, but we recommend grabbing a bite beforehand or asking your guide for food recs after the crawl.
We get it—Nashville traffic is no joke. If you’re running behind, message your guide ASAP. We’ll do our best to help you catch up, but we can’t guarantee re-entry once the crawl starts.
Yes! If you’re looking to celebrate a birthday, bachelor(ette) party, or team outing, we offer private Live Music Crawls with custom options. Just fill out the form on our [Private Tour Page] to get started.

Things to know

🎤 Pro Tips:

Bring a $1 bill for 2nd Avenue Wear comfortable shoes and Nashville-ready attire Keep your phone charged — you’ll want pics from this one Get ready to dance, laugh, sing, and leave with new friends

21+ US Issued ID or Passport:

We love a good party — but Tennessee takes their ID laws very seriously, and so do the bars we visit. ✔️ U.S. Guests: You’ll need a valid, government-issued photo ID (like a driver’s license or state ID). 🌍 International Guests: You must bring your passport. Not a copy. Not a photo. Not your home country’s driver’s license — it has to be your passport. We know it sounds strict, and trust us — we’ve seen too many sad faces when someone gets turned away because they didn’t bring the right ID. It’s not our rule, it’s Tennessee state law, and the venues don’t mess around.

☔ Rain or Shine, the Show Goes On

This is Nashville — we don’t cancel a good time over a little weather! The crawl rolls rain or shine, and since we’re mostly inside live music venues (not just wandering around), you’ll stay mostly dry. That said, bring a jacket or an umbrella — soggy boots don’t dance well. 🎸🌧️

🎉 Have Fun!

This is a public tour, which means you’ll be dancing, singing, laughing, and swapping stories with awesome people from all over the world. Whether you're rolling solo, with friends, or part of a bachelorette crew — get ready to make some memories (and maybe a new group chat). Looking for something more exclusive? We’ve got you covered. Head to our Private Tour page and fill out the form to connect with our Party Planner for a personalized, VIP experience built just for your group. 🥂✨

Cancellation Policy

Add Activity Protection at checkout to cancel for a refund of your ticket price: $9.99 per person up to 3 hours before, or $4.99 per person up to 24 hours before. Without it, we convert the full value of your booking to Crawl Entertainment Group credit, good for any of our experiences in any city. No-shows are not eligible for a refund.

Rio was a great guide, very personable and engaging in conversation with us. We loved all the music and the pubs we went to on the Crawl. It was truly a fun day out. We never felt rushed and always got a good seat. We also received wristbands for 20% off drinks at each place we w…
