The Stage on Broadway is hands down my favorite bar in Nashville. The atmosphere is fantastic, with live music that takes me back to the best of 90s country. The musicians are top-notch, making every visit memorable. The beer and drink prices are very reasonable, which is a huge plus. I always make it a point to bring my family and friends here when they visit, and it never disappoints. If youre looking for a great time on Broadway, The Stage is the place to be!

We stopped here for a few beers and it was a pretty cool experience. There are multiple floors that have live bands playing, along with bars on each floor.The roof top bar had some pretty awesome views of everything around the area.

Female lead singer rudely insults staff of nearby bars as well as members of her own crowd. Not funny and not nice. Additionally, the house cabernet was the worst on the whole street. POSITIVE: The rest of the band members were great and their harmony songs awesome!

4/19/2023: This was 2nd favorite bar on Broadway. Met some fun people, the servers were great, the door guy let me borrow his charger (which I accidentally broke, but paid him for it - he was so nice - thanks, Josh!), the music was great and I love The Highway Men mural. This place has a framed picture that once hung in Waylon Jennings’ home, so being a huge WJ fan, I had to see it for myself! Loved this bar!!

We had a good time visiting The Stage. Didn’t eat there but drinks were solid. We even had a person in our party that didn’t care for their mixed drink — and the wait staff took care of them. Music was on point and the vibe was solid.

I got a fireball at the bar next door over and they charged the same amount for less alcohol and this place charged the same price for more alcohol THIS IS WHAT I LOVE. I liked the music! They ID at the door but there were kids in here so i dont know since its 4:10pm so 🤷 but they will ID and check your baf at the door. No bookbags allowed

I generally enjoyed visiting the stage . I am a local and bring most out of town friends here. However, I am a 52 year old professional woman who was sober but only with a picture ID. When I calmly challenged the front security and then the manager for not letting me in with my daughter’s bachelorette Party, the manager (a man) got physical with me and left bruises on me.

Love the venue, however did not like the band begging for money. Was there Saturday March 16 but left after the band walked up to customers 2 time in one set asking each individual for money. Felt they spent more time begging for money than playing music.

The band that night was apparently too good to play Beyonces Texas Holdem or Old Town Road by Lil Nas X even with a $40 tip. They actually scoffed at my Beyonce request. Girl is killing it on the Country Music charts, but ok. I wonder why the band refused to play it smh...

Review №18

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went to this bar with my friends for her bachelorette party. I was the last of my friends to get in and was told by the bouncer that I could not get in due to being out of their dress code. I was never informed of what the dress code was and why I was not in the dress code. I asked if I could put a jacket on and then was told no and I was not allowed in. Another bouncer came over after and said he spoke with his boss and said it was okay for me to go in. I have never been more infuriated and embarrassed in my life. There were other people being let in wearing less than I was, yet I still was told I could not get in. Beyond disappointed and will never be returning again.

I’ve been coming to this beautiful city for years. But the front “security” guy, both long beard and African American guy decided they couldn’t let me in, meanwhile I’m sober but yet let an intoxicated person that couldn’t walk inside the bar in. By far the worst bar on broadway!!!So disappointed.Please get better door service.Worst people I’ve encountered with!!!!!

Review №24

The “bouncer” or admissions man is completely unprofessional and inappropriate. He physically intimidated my 53 year old mother clapping in her face and lunging towards her. The two other workers did not help at all when I explained that a man can’t physically intimidate a woman, and quite frankly they all seem incompetent. Overall, you shouldn’t be screaming at a woman, clapping your hands, and becoming volatile…complete lack of safety and professionalism.

I visited early on a weekend and got to hear some great music. The band interacted with the small crowd and made it a very personal show. They played requests and nailed them all. The staff was great and the atmosphere was pretty cool.

They wouldn’t let us inside because I had a small backpack. I use it as a purse (to keep my wallet and phone in, because a single string purse hurts my back). Ridiculous. I asked if they allow shopping bags in - they said yes. I asked if I could put my small backpack in a shopping bag - no. Wow.

Review №29

Yes it’s a touristy place to go, but if you are a tourist or entertaining someone from out of town I’d rather head to The Stage than fight the crowds in the bars with Country star’s names on them. I’ve gone to The Stage a few times now and have sat in all three of the bars, usually the rooftop. Every time I’ve been in there I have been impressed by the quality of the singers and bands playing there. The drinks are pretty fairly priced considering it’s on Broadway. You aren’t going to get draft beers upstairs but if you’re there to have a good time, you’ll find it there.

A wild and fun Saturday night in Nashville with great music and a wonderful crowd of people to party with. The partiers there even enjoyed those two old people in the crowd who could party right along with them. Oh to be young again, if only for a few hours!

When I worked and lived in Nashville, we would always end our nights at The Stage- Mainly because we knew wed never leave once we were there.This place has a great atmosphere, tons of room, and classic music. Be prepared for a line, big crowds, a mix of music, and a bit of a wait to reach a bartender.

One of my favorite places on Broadway. Lots of different options to enjoy the music. From roof top to dance floor its enjoyable. Music style depends on band and time, you will see everything from classic, out law, and modern country music. Definitely recommended!

Review №47

Watch out for the female bouncers. They talk big, but the moment you respond they kick you out bc you point out how they are wrong. Used to be a good classic country bar, but it’s not anymore. Visit nashville, but skip this bar. Her name is Jena and the rest of the bouncers know she is the problem. The moment someone responded to her abuse of patrons she just started kicking ppl out.

Review №48

The service is great and I like the place but the live band they had playing had a Venmo QR code posted so the audience could request songs, and the amount to request a song auto filled to $20 per song request. That seemed pretty presumptuous for a cover band that doesnt have any of their own songs. I requested any Carrie Underwood song they might know. Rather than playing the song and enjoying the night, they opted to stop the music and deliberately call me out to mock me for picking a chicks song for a bunch of men to sing. Love the Stage but I will leave if this band gets on stage again. The band/artist was Nick Smith

Great bar however, the website schedule isn’t correct. Your marketing folks need to give correct info. We got there at 10::15 for the 10:30 show, but they didn’t start until 11. The door person said they always start at 11. So no music for 45 minutes. Not sure who updates their website but hopefully they will see this and make sure the schedule is correct! Wanted to share so others are disappointed. Once they started it was great!

The bartenders in this place were very friendly and the band they had playing was good! There was a HORRIBLE smell that was coming from near or behind the bar towards the back of the room. We went down to get drinks and could hardly stand it. We moved upstairs and every once in a while the smell would come up there and it would make our stomachs turn. We stayed because we really liked the band but none of us ordered mixed drinks because the smell was sour and we didnt know what was causing it.

Great Time was had this past Sunday Nov 8, Brandon Holder and band played a great set. Would have been 5 stars but due to the Covid restrictions could not dance with the wife and really have a great time. Guess the virus wakes up late and goes out at 11pm because thats when the bars close.

Owner needs to get his people in check. My husband and I came in yesterday and went straight there to see our friend play. They kicked my husband out for who knows why. Still this morning we cant figure it out. I would avoid this place. Wayyyy more places that are better on Broadway and dont treat PAYING patrons horribly. We were spending lots there because we also were buying drinks for the band. Treated terribly. Dont recommend.

I did not enjoy this place one bit. The security guard yelled at me because I had a lace bra with straps that we’re supposed to wrap around onto my waist. The bra was under my shirt and you could only see the part that was around my torso. He said that we have a dress code and that I shouldn’t be dressed like that in HIS bar. If it was that big of an issue they would have signs posted of their dress code. I was asked to leave within 20 mins of being there. Will not be back.

If I could leave zero stars I would. The atmosphere was great loved it. What ruined it for me was my friend and I was hitting our vapes mind you there was no signage that stayed no smoking or Vaping in sight. And we had been hitting our vapes and stuff prior and four security guards just walked past us. Then one of the security had seen us with the vapes in hand not hitting them and comes over and proceeds to yell at us. “stop Vaping in MY bar”. What I didn’t understand is why he said that it was his bar. And I just wish he would have handled it differently and there was a woman that had asked who he was yelling at and he told her it was us. That was definitely not okay at all. We will not be back.

Not even three minutes later we watched a group of girls with tops were no more than bras and a girl with the EXACT SAME SHIRT as My friend get let in. Literally it’s Broadway….if you want to have a dress code at least make it a nice place with good drinks and good music. But if you’re going to keep this dress code, at least get a new bouncer who upholds the same rules for everyone and doesn’t pick and Choose which type of bodies he lets walk in the front door. This place sucks.

Nashville sucks. Except for The Stage. If you want to drink at Tootsies or Dirks joint, take out a 3rd mortgage first. The Stage will sell you beer for 20% less. The bands have talent, and won’t make your ears bleed. Volume is not compensation for lack of musical ability. 🤬

AMAZING BAND ON THE ROOFTOPOverall was very pleased and smiling the entire time. The staff was friendly and kind, however the band was really why I stayed the singers name was Valerie Lynn. 100% ask them back please :) The drinks were good not great but no complaints other than it being a little lacking in cleanliness. Don’t think drunk people really care about that too much anyway. Thanks to all staff for the wonderful experience

Review №92

Bartenders were great, the bouncers were ridiculous though. One tried to kick me out for my wife helping the band get tips by taking their empty tip can around.He either didn’t like me or wanted to separate me from my wife. He got physical trying to push me out after I said we will leave without any issue as long as it’s with my wife. Long story short. He decided he would rather push me out the door which led to an altercation and ended up with cops being involved. At least the cops were reasonable, 5 minutes later I’m free to go on my way.I would avoid this place like the plague. I have been to nashville 3 times now and never came close to having an issue like this.There are far too many great places to go on or near Broadway to waste your time here.

We were just at the stage tonight for my 50th birthday… the band was wonderful, the bartenders were friendly…. BUT we were enjoying the band, having great cocktails. And a security employee happened to stand in front of us blocking the band … we went up and asked him if he could step down one step so we could see and he turned and yelled in my face and “ I will just do my job somewhere else” i felt it was uncalled for an employee to yell in my face which was very intimidating for patron that made a simple request after being there for well over an hour enjoying the band!!

This was an awful experience. The bus boy/security guard was absolutely awful. If you want to sing or have any amount of fun do not attend this bar. The band was awful and we were trying to make the most of it by singing the few songs we knew and the security guy continuously came over to us and honestly harassed us. This was the worst experience at a bar I have ever had. No other bars had this type of atmosphere. Will be calling in a formal complaint. If you want to sit silently and do nothing at a bar except drink overpriced drinks then please go to this place. It was the worst experience ever.

Came into The stage with a morning cup of coffee. Added a shot of Baileys and enjoyed the music. The bass player made his own instrument from an old gas tank. Sorry do not remember your name. You felt one with the music. The Angry Canadian was on the steel guitar. The violin player also very talented! Nice job!! Enjoyed!!!

So disappointed that “security” turned away my friend because they thought that her REAL id was fake. I get that bars can turn away anyone for any reason, but if they refuse entry to someone because of their id specifically, yet don’t have a way to verify a real id other than just looking at it, they should have someone that can ACTUALLY identify a real id from a fake one. Stupid.

We had a great night here. Planned on stopping in for a drink or 2 but stayed for 3 hours. The band playing that night was awesome. It was packed but never had to wait for a drink. The bar tenders were very good. Large selection of drinks to choose from. Must visit here if in Nashville.

The bartenders and doormen are really nice folks. The beer is cold and reasonably priced. The bands that play there are EXCELLENT— world class talent and really cool crews stock that stage. The crowd is usually fun too. Go here!

This place is awesome! The bartender mixed my lemonade quickly! She used a real lemon and a sugar package instead of something from a store. Real Southern hospitality. The live band was fantastic and even though it was packed I had a good time! You have to be responsible and manage in the space you have when coming to touristy live music venues like this.

Great live music is always playing. If you dont like the band, come back in an hour. Drink prices are reasonable. No cover charge! Thats the best thing about all the bars in Nashville

Great place to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon listening to live music and having a few drinks. They always have great bands, and the best part they are dog friendly.

Nice place, good beer prices, friendly service.I like more of the old school country music, most of Nashville seems to be more commercially driven. It was still a lot of fun though. The people were great!!

Great service and wonderful drinks. Bands on the second floor and roof who played great and took requests. Location is perfect along broadway. Their cocktails were made rapidly and were very flavorful (definitely witnessed a bartender give an extra splash of tequila in a drink i ordered). I would definitely return.

It was such a hot day and I was walking with my dog, and they let him come in to cool off! Everyone loved him and was so nice and the band player even got off the stage and came and gave him water! Definitely became one of my favorite bars down there 😍 thanks to such amazing staff!

Love love love this place! We had so much fun. The place was super busy but it had a home town bar feeling to it. We were there when Rickie Lee Taylor was playing and he is great!! He even personally sung Happy birthday to our friend Joy! This was our favorite place out of every where we went to!

A very good experience, staff was nice, and bands were great! However, there is a “regular” who is an older guy. He went up to my friend (in our 20s he’s at youngest 45) grabbed her hands apart and then place his/her hands on her sides. She immediately told him to back off. Another girl saw it happen and mentioned it happened to here a few weeks ago too. After observation we saw him do it to multiple younger girls. Some drunk and not realizing the issue.

Review №152

I really like this place. We started out our evening at at some of the other honky tonks on Broadway. Normally just have a drink an listen to a few songs by the band that was playing. After only a few minutes in the Stage, I knew this was where we were going to spend the majority of our time. The band was fantastic. Their selection of songs an the wide range of music that they covered was great. I will definitely lately be back an highly recommend the stage on Broadway to everyone wanting to relax an hear some good music

Review №153

Great stage and good band. This place is mostly like the other places on Broadway. They do have a nice rooftop bar now. The location is pretty good, as its near the center of Broadway, yet not too close to be far away from Ubers.The drinks are over priced, of course ($9 for a whisky in 2019), but thats to be expected. Would go again.

Review №155

This is a great, historic bar on Broadway. It can be very crowded at night. The music is great here any time of any day. The new rooftop is pretty cool spot, but all the bars are doing that now. I really recommend coming sometime during the day to seem really of the actual bar. Lot of great paintings on the wall. Dont forget about the back entrance to this and several bars right there.

Review №156

We were up on the top level and watched a talented band clear out the dance floor with their “fun banter.” Shut up and play music! We don’t care about your stories. You’re not Bruce Springsteen with your diatribes. And don’t be pretentious when people request a song. I ain’t giving you a dime in your bucket for a chance that you’ll play a song I was just kinda hoping to hear.

Really good time, the drinks are good, the bands are engaging, and the crowd is lively. The nights we went, the crowd was pretty much wall to wall; however, people were very considerate and friendly. Whatever you do Don’t try to get on the stage. Don’t do it!

This is a great place for live music. Unlike a number of other bars along Broadway there is plenty of room in front fo the stage. If you want to get up and dance or sit back and listen to the amazing talent this is the bar for you.

Pretty great. Rooftop is awesome and line was non-existent even though other places had massive lines. There is a bar on the patio so dont wait in line at the main bar. Beer $6 which is reasonable in this area.

Review №162

VISITORS BEWARE OF THIS BOUNCER. In late September this staff member inexplicably approached with demands to back up from the band and letting me know this is my bar. He was completely out of line, I am an older female and was not behaving in any way that would warrant this type of treatment. When I challenged he even shoved me (a female a fraction of his size) and then escorted me out. This place might be fun, but their staffing choices are poor at best. I dont know if this guy was on something other than his own imagined ego or what. I reported the issue twice but management was not interested. I hope no one has a similar experience but for now... youve been warned! There are many other finer stops in Nashville you should consider before visiting The Stage.

Review №163

Well. Ive lived in Nashville since 2004 and the stage was always the go to spot if you didnt want to hear traditional country. That is - you didnt love country music but you loved the Nashville scene. I get that it is hard to describe, but if you spent a few minutes at Roberts, Tootsies, or Legends and you know that sound you would 100% appreciate the eclectic southern rock of The Stage. Sadly, they no longer cater to that crowd. (on the 1st floor). RIP.

Review №165

Amazing place and with 4 different levels its not as crowded as some of the other bars. All levels have a full bar and different bands!! They advertised 3 floors but when going up to the roof top there was an acoustic performer on level 2.5. (I love little hideouts like that exspecally coming from a small town in Central Michigan.) The roof top is a must see! You can smoke, drink and dance at the same time all with friendly people. They also turn on the heaters on the deck when its cold so you can watch the busy city from above.

Review №166

This is my first time in Nashville I’m so excited that I was able to see this on a Saturday night in the middle of summer and it was great the only issue I do have is all the freaking stairs to get to any rooftop bar. But it was definitely worth it and the music was great and the people were Having the times of their lives without a care in the world but there’s a lot of younger people that were just so belligerently drunk otherwise I had a great time.

Review №167

We totally had a scary experience but the staff took care of it the best way they could. A young man bought my friend a drink and he immediately took it and looked to take a drink, but we are sure he spit something into it. He had a brand new beer of his own. My friend thinking this was weird called him out on it and did not drink the beer he had bought. He walked away because he knew we knew what was happening. We told the bartender who immediately threw it away and gave us a new beer at no charge, and told a bouncer. The boss then came down and assessed the situation and the young man who bought the drink saw what was happening and he left the bar. Even scarier, the young mans friends came over and tried to smooth things over and they left when they saw extra security around. Nick, Cedric and the awesome male bartender totally were on their game and made sure we were safe.

The Stage is hand down one of the best venues for county music in the nation. When you actually stop and look at the walls at all legends that have played there it is breathtaking. I have listened to amazing live music on a Tuesday afternoon, and I have listened to amazing music on a Saturday night. If you do not have fun at The Stage it is your own damn fault.

Review №170

This place was PACKED. I had a great time here. It was a real concert in a small venue style experience. Issue being that they only have enough space between the bar and the crowd for about half a person. So people moving to the back or upstairs or even trying to get to the bar, its chaos. I had a treat time but I can understand people could have less fun here.

The girl at the door was so rude! She checked our purses and took our pepper spray, but never bothered to ask a man to lift his shirt to check for a gun or knife. We asked if we could get it back when we left 5 minutes later and she said no. How are single girls supposed to protect themselves in a crowded city where peoples’ inhibitions are dangerously inclined?! Shame on you!

Review №174

We had a great time at The Stage while in Nashville. We went to four different levels of the bar and each had a different variety of live music. The staff were friendly and the bouncers were proactive when people were inebriated to the point of making others uncomfortable. The drink prices were reasonably priced. My only complaint is that on the upper level when people smoke out on the deck it wafts into the bar and can become overwhelming.

We returned to Nashville for a longer two week holiday following a previous flying visit. We availed ourselves of many of the Honkytonks on Broadway but The Stage was our most favourite of them all and by some distance! We found ourselves returning time and time again. The music and atmosphere were great and the staff were as friendly as could be. Our only regret is that its not closer as we frequently find ourselves wishing we could just pop in on a Friday or Saturday night! Scotlands just a bit far for that! 😜🎸🍺 We loved to sit in the corner of the balcony on the ground floor level as it offered a great view of the bands and all the action on the dance floor. Also loved the fact that ALL age groups clearly feel very at ease and welcome in the place, unlike some of the other places on Broadway. Well be back yall!!!

Top location at the heart of Nashville, friendly atmosphere and great local music literally all day long. We met some great people there. Make sure to check out the rooftop. On a side note, although the local selection of bottled beers is decent, a few beers on tap would be a nice addition.

Review №190

Here is what I have figured out from this place. They purposely keep the line out the front door to draw the illusion that the business is packed. Once inside, it was far from being packed/slammed.I did have an overly attentive bartender that was towards the back. We listed to a band that was up on stage during 10 pm time. Needless to say, where the country music was, I have absolutely no idea. They came off stage and we waited the typical 40 minute change out time that all of Broadway takes from 1 band to another band. I did manage to go upstairs and observe what was going on the roof top portion of it. I did notice, it was slightly more busier up there, but you were still able to move around without issue. Stayed up there, listed for a few songs, until the band thought it was a good idea to play Back Street Boys music. Came back down stairs and observed they were playing music, but someone forgot to include a fiddle player in there set. The music was truly all over the lot and not sticking with one type of music.It has been a while since I visited this bar and it will probably be a while again. Can someone please let the bands know that they are in Nashville, a country market, and not a Pop 40 market?

Biggest shoutout in my life to security here. Had a slight situation and Mike handled everything so professionally. We were going to leave after the scare but the way he quickly and efficiently handled the situation made us immediately feel so safe in a foreign city bar. As a native New Yorker who grew up going to large nightclubs and a current bartender in a large high volume bar in Key West myself, I was so encouraged by Mike’s presence. What a rare gem! Will return and send anyone this way just knowing our safety concerns are listened to and addressed appropriately.

Well how do u say discrimination? My husband is blind in one eye and couldnt get in last night. Wes cooke band was playing. Wow. His family has stayed at our house. We have spent thousands on Broadway and tipping bands. No more for me. My money will go to people who want my business. I will also be filing a discrimination case against them. My poor blind husband who is doing millions of dollars of business helping Nashville out if its scum looking city. After spending five years there it certainly looks better. Not because of the stage or Wes cooke. Because businesses out money into that city. Healthcare companies grew. Not Broadway. Not the stage and the family that owns many of the looser bars there. If u go. Dont ask for wine. They dont even know what that is. Lots of dirty places too. Take your sanitize wipes. I would be surprised if the stage even cleans once a week. It is Soooo dirty. Nice stage. Dont let blind people into your dirt. No wonder when I was there last time it was empty. I and my husband will not spend our money and generous tips at the stage again. Only a blind person would go. We went to support Wes cooke but that wont happen again.

Band (Lefty and The Right Hand Band) was amazing. Bartenders were fine. Jerk at the door was awful. My group had no trouble, but watched him solicit only young pretty girls and be short or curt with others. Not helpful at all when asked questions. Just not the guy to be the face of a business.
