Nashville Nightlife

When the sun sets, Music City really heats up. Over 250 live entertainment venues make it easy to enjoy a night out. And while country is king, today’s ‘Nashville Sound’ truly suits every musical taste.

From rock, pop and country to blues, jazz and EDM, downtown features a full range of options including major concert venues, intimate songwriter showcases, the famed honky-tonks of Lower Broad, speakeasies, nightclubs and more. Venture outside the city center to visit many other acclaimed venues loved by locals and recording artists.  

Readers can’t get enough of the nightlife in Music City. Whether it’s a lively honky tonk on Broadway, a Grand Ole Opry performance, or an open mic night at a quiet cafe, visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to hearing top-notch artists."
