Honky Tonkin' on Broadway: A Boozy Blind Date with Nashville's Bars
Buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst into the neon jungle of Nashville's Broadway – a place where live music spills out onto the sidewalks, drinks flow faster than the Cumberland River, and cowboy boots two-step with bachelorette parties. But with more bars than honky tonk angels can sing about, where do you even begin?
What Bars Are On Broadway In Nashville |
The Classic Country Crooners
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
First up, we got the legendary honky tonks. These are the Grand Ole Opry of barflies, where the music is loud, the beer is cold, and the walls are practically dripping with history (and maybe a little spilled Jack Daniels). Places like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (where Willie Nelson got his start, no less!), the Stage on Broadway (with its iconic mural of country music royalty), and Robert's Western World (a local favorite with a no-frills, all-thrills vibe) are your one-stop shops for two-stepping and tunes that twang harder than your grandma's curtains.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
Celebrity Shenanigans
If you crave a side of fame with your frosty beverage, Broadway offers a plethora of celebrity-owned bars. Want to channel your inner Blake Shelton at Ole Red? Perhaps Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa is more your speed? Or maybe you just like saying "Hey, I had a beer at Kid Rock's Big A** Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse" (yes, that's a real place). Just be prepared for a bit more hustle and bustle (and potentially higher price tags) at these establishments.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Beyond the Boots
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
But hold your horses (or should I say, bar stools)! Broadway isn't all about country. If you're seeking a different flavor, there's Acme Feed & Seed (a rooftop bar with stunning city views), AJ's Good Time Bar (a dive bar with a heart of gold), and even a Hard Rock Cafe (because sometimes, you just gotta love a classic).

- How to avoid the bachelorette crowds? Head towards the less touristy ends of Broadway, or try exploring the side streets.
