Nashville's Best Nightlife - Where to party in Nashville

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 of the Downtown hotspots include Coyote Ugly, Jelly Roll’s Good Time Bar, and Alley Taps just 3 blocks from Broadway.

Nashville Rooftop Bars

Nashville is renowned for its rooftop venues, so checking out one or all of these is a must. Friends in Low Places, Garth Books’ new bar, can be found on Lower Broadway and has an amazing rooftop. Not only are the views to die for, but the tasty beverages will keep you coming back for more. Nashville Underground is an absolute must, mainly because it has two levels filled with fun. You can choose from the portion which houses turf and engaging lawn-based games or the level with 40+ TVs. You can also catch 360-degree views of the city, seeing as it is the tallest building on Broadway. If you’re looking for a posh experience, check out The Bobby Hotel Rooftop which offers a unique hip rooftop vibe. There is nothing like a Nashville rooftop bar to get the party started.

Join A Nashville Bar Crawl

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.
