We went with our two kids, 13 and 11. We were concerned that we would not have a ton to do, as the kids are underage... 99% of bars allowed minors in to listen to the music until 9pm-10pm. The kids loved it!!! We had a beer, they had a Sprite, we ate dinner and listened to live country music.... More

What a place, used to visit Nashville as much as possible as its a fun place and the music is great, I have a lot of friends in this town and in the evenings and on weekends the place comes alive. I like BB Kings place but its a little stereotypical of the classic... More

Downtown was very busy with lots of restaurants and clubs. Definately check out the various clubs as there are lots of cover charges at night

We loved that the old is nestled right in with the new! I love architecture and history and absolutely loved the downtown area. We loved all the music that you can hear from 10:30 am on...just about every where you go. Tootsie's is a must see...there is enough history on the walls there to keep you busy for quite a... More

Everything in Nashville downtown is within 1/2 a mile area and easy to walk once you are there. There are lots of small bars/restaurants to visit and "lots" of live music on the street. Every bar has live entertainment! There is lots of policing in the tourist area and therefore felt secure even with family at night. Will definitely return.
