This is without a doubt, the best rooftop view on the Broadway strip. Right across the street from the hard rock Café at the bottom of the hill.They will probably card you getting into the building no matter how old you are.Not the friendliest bartender.Didn’t have any food.

Nice atmosphere & staff. Clean restrooms. Drinks could be better. The only thing I didn’t like was being asked for my ID by security after having already been there a good while. We were visiting town and came back because of the exceptional service we received the day before.

This is a must visit place if youre visiting Broadway st.The whisky River Saloon is very big in size and has numerous bar set ups inside to help serve everyone. The bartenders are nice and kept a very clean bar. There was also a special whisky and bourbon selection which looked to have a vast variety of liquors.There was live entertainment which was exceptional each of the 3 nights we visited.There was even a mechanical bull that people could try there luck.I did not try the food as it was late each visit, but if it was like the rest of the visit Im sure it would have been phenomenal .They have a nice security staff that seemed to work hard at making sure there were never any issues.This has to be on your list when visiting Nashville!

We found ourselves on the rooftop bar trying to escape the chaos of Broadway. We had great service, a nice atmosphere, great views, and the best Mai Tai I have ever had.

Super cute spot! Plenty of photo ops and if you’re feeling up to it they even have a mechanical bull! We only got a few drinks while we waited to meet up with someone but they were good! We sat at the bourbon bar where they had a ton of bourbon to choose from! A must visit if in the Nashville area. The bartender was great!

The menu is not extensive HOWEVER its very creative and good. There tons of TVs, I didnt understand why they limited service to the top floor during CMAS instead of having a limited menu available downstairs as well. Plenty of security extremely friendly and beautiful bartenders. I thought the patio/rooftop was gorgeous and I didnt expect the view to be as awesome as it is. I see the vibe they want but should think outside the box-you have too much competition. Fries were great but different some how. I dont know why that water was so good n cold lol. Our server was super attentive and fast. I would add a BBQ turkey sandwich or Turkey tacos as well as our shrimp or fish. I loved my grilled cheese but the price point should offer that type of option. Oh btw who ever used the MOLASSES knows EXACTLY what they are doing-YOU ARE A GIFT.

Great music(like most everywhere in Nashville), great atmosphere, hot vibe with a wonderful rooftop bar. Food was just ok, we were four and ordered drinks, Jalapeño Margarita and a frozen vodka concoction. One of us ordered a salad, I ordered the hot chicken sandwich, by friend ordered the burger and my wife the chicken over fries…everything was mediocre, but then again, you don’t come here for the food

They have a Toro! Staff was friendly music was awesome, vocals could always be turned up a bit. Guitar player using a thumb pick thank god, bass player made a few mistakes (it’s ok we all make them that’s why I am here, I’ve made plenty). I think I like alcohol now. I didn’t try the food this time but I really hope there are no Vegan options here! Will definitely come back!!

Really cool place to end our day of walking around downtown and Broadway. Wanted to check out the rooftop since we’ve never done that before, especially here in TN. We liked the live music upon walking in and enjoyed the view from the rooftop. We sat more towards the inside since outside had no seating. We ordered a couple drinks, an appetizer and a dessert. Everything was super good. Since it’s so close to home, I will try to come again and order different things.

Sipping drinks on the rooftop bar at Whiskey River in Nashville is an unforgettable experience. This colossal three-story establishment, situated in the heart of Music City, offers an ambiance that perfectly encapsulates the vibrant energy of the city. The rooftop, a true highlight, provides an unparalleled view of Broadway, the bustling epicenter of Nashvilles nightlife.As you ascend to the rooftop, the anticipation builds. Upon arrival, the panoramic sight of Broadways neon signs, live music, and the lively crowd is simply mesmerizing. Its a front-row seat to the heartbeat of Nashville. The rooftop itself is a delightful blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. With open-air sections and a versatile inside-outside design, it accommodates visitors whether they prefer the crisp night air or the comfort of shelter.The rooftop bar is well-equipped, boasting an array of fine whiskies and a menu offering craft cocktails that range from classics to inventive concoctions. The abundance of seating, often shaded by stylish patio umbrellas, ensures that patrons can relax and enjoy their drinks in comfort, whether in intimate nooks or with a group of friends.In the evenings, the rooftop at Whiskey River becomes an oasis of music, laughter, and the distinctive spirit of Nashville. Its a place where locals and tourists come together, where the music flows like the whiskey, and where the citys rich culture is palpable in every note and every sip. Its a testament to the vibrant soul of Music City, and an experience not to be missed.

Visiting the Whiskey River Saloon was an unforgettable experience! Situated on Broadway, it offers a refreshing change from the usual country tunes that dominate the area. The band performing that night was absolutely amazing, delivering an energetic and diverse set that kept the crowd entertained and engaged. It was a nice break to hear something different for a bit.Our night was made even better by the exceptional service we received from Bailey, our bartender. Not only was Bailey an absolute smoke show, but she also proved to be an incredibly skilled and attentive bartender. Her friendly demeanor and quick service made our experience even more enjoyable. We couldnt have asked for better service.With its vibrant atmosphere, fantastic music, and top-notch service, Whiskey River Saloon is a spot we will definitely be returning to. Highly recommended for anyone looking to have a great time on Broadway!

This bar has i think the best location on Broadway. I didnt care much for the lack of bartender....she was not very attentive yesterday. I sat there for almost an hour and only received 2 Coronas....during that time id say 2 times there was not a bar tender present for over 10 minutes....Music was outstanding, thats literally the only thing kept me there that long.

Not a cheap place to drink, but there isnt a single place on Broadway that is. Started as a pregame stop, went to the game, came back and kicked off a thunder run up Broadway to legends.It was Christmas Eve and the staff was awesome. Michelle the absolute AMAZING bar tender was there open to close to let others have off for the holidays. She made amazing cocktails, extremely witty, but also fabulously efficient in managing the the entire bar. Shes an asset for sure.The bama team will definitely be back again.

This was my favorite bar on Broadway during my visit to Nashville with my wife. Bartender was amazing, band was amazing, the whole vibe was great. Spent the most time here. I wish I would have gotten the bartenders name and remembered the name of the band to give them further props lol.We eventually even head up to the rooftop restaurant to eat and take in the views!

Whiskey River Saloon is a great spot for a night out, offering a lively and engaging atmosphere. The quality of sound is excellent, with a well-positioned stage that ensures you can see and hear the performances clearly from all angles.The only slight drawback is that the prices are on the higher side, but the overall experience justifies the cost. The rooftop area is decent, providing a nice change of scenery, although it might not be the best in town. The DJ at the rooftop does a good job of keeping the energy up, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening.

This bar is a great way to do alittle bit of everything Nashville in one place. Live bands, bull riding, rooftop views, a great vibe and beautiful decor. It’s a touristspot with the tourist price tag. We were a little surprised that it was 24 dollars for 2 shots of fireball. The 5 dollar Jell-O shots made up for it. If you’re into high end whiskey/bourbon they have a special bar in the back with some quality whiskey’s.

Review №82

Great stage downstairs with a good amount of room for beer pong, tables, and dancing. Theres no food downstairs so you have to go to the rooftop without live music if you want food. They do have an upscale Whiskey Bar in the back with a great selection of high-end whiskeys.The service upstairs was not good. The guy running food had no idea where the food should go and was handing it to random bartenders so that they can aimlessly walk around trying to figure out who ordered it. We watched this happen for several hours. We were trying to get one of the TVs changed to a playoff basketball game which took 20 minutes until they radioed a manager who knew how to change the channel. The upstairs bathroom is way too and doesn’t appear to have been cleaned since the prohibition era. The ground is caked in urine.I’d suggest going to the downstairs bar if you don’t want food.

During my recent visit to a rooftop bar in Nashville, I was delighted by the stunning views of Broadway from above. The bustling energy of the city was palpable, and the setting was perfect for a casual evening out.One thing that stood out to me was the large screen TVs that added to the vibrant atmosphere. The relaxed vibe of the rooftop was further complemented by a simple drink menu, though I found the options to be somewhat limited.However, my experience was slightly dampened by an awkward exchange with the server when I asked for a skinny Margarita. Nonetheless, the overall ambiance of the place was lively and enjoyable. There is some room to add creativity to their drink menu.If youre looking for a spot with great views of Nashville and a casual atmosphere, this rooftop bar is worth considering. Just keep in mind that the drink options may be limited, and the service may not be consistent.

We went there last night for dinner, because the restaurant where we wanted to go had 55 min wait and this was one of the closest places that didn’t have music blasting super loud. We went to the rooftop to eat and ordered chicken wings with Nashville sauce and Widow maker burger. My husband loves spicy food, but said that the wings were actually really hot even for him, so definitely not for people with a lower tolerance to heat. My burger came out looking great and a really good portion, but wasn’t anything special flavor wise and the fries where quite soft. Overall we were satisfied with the food and after dinner, we stayed for a few songs downstairs as they had live music concert

It was a slow night. Service could have been better. Bartenders were looking for things to do and missed a lot of opportunities with customers. Music was good. Just hard to be active when slow and no crowd. Took way to long between songs and when switched bands. Will give it another shot in March/April when it gets busier.

We love this place. The atmosphere is great! The food and service was great! The coolest people work here. Maddy is the sweetest, cutest, most friendliest person we met. She made our night perfect. We will definitely be back and I hope Maddy is still working there. She is the BEST!!!!!!!❤️

I highly recommend Whiskey River! The drinks are well made, the service is great, and the atmosphere (especially on the patio) is a lot more relaxed compared to other bars on Broadway.

A fun spot on Broadway in Nashville. There was a live band. They were good. The adult beverages were good. My beer was very cold. We went to the rooftop bar also and the views were great. There was a DJ up there last night and was also fun. I would recommend this place when you are on Broadway!

Me and my boyfriend on first time In Nashville choose this bar and I can tell you it’s the worst service ever. We ordered drinks and was no alcohol. They charge a lot for drink without alcohol it’s embarrassing. We spoke to manager and he doesn’t do nothing. We travel a lot and I never see like that. No respect to guests. Don’t recommend!!!

1 star for: My friends asked for 2 double Titos & Red Bull...3 people tasted it, there wasnt a vodka taste to either of them & charged $52!!! When brought up to the bar tender she said they could charge for another shot!!! Not worth it & not buying another drink.But the band was good & so was Quan w/the bull riding!!! They get 5stars!!

This is such a fun place! We saw the best bands here and the had the best bartender, her name was Anna and she was just so sweet and fast! There was a big crowd but she didn’t seem stressed out or forget about any of her customers! Had the best experience here thank you!!

We stopped in for an afternoon Sunday lunch. We let the bartender know we were sitting down because we didn’t see a host and we’re trying to be polite. The rooftop balcony had 2-3 tables eating, a few tables that had eaten and were just hanging out. It was not busy. We politely asked the waiter for menus after waiting 10 minutes because they forgot us and he disappeared for 5-10 minutes. We had to ask a second time and asked for water. He never came back. He then proceeded to wait on 4 new tables that had wandered in 20 minutes after we got there and after about 30 min without water, being allowed to order and 5 minutes with our menus we decided to leave politely. It’s very clear some of the staff are not there to do their job and with 2 staff in the floor and no service it’s mind boggling. I’ve been the tired restaurant worker on a Sunday shift, but really management and wait staff should try to at least make an effort to try. Will not send anyone here.

I wish I could give them 0 stars. This place is the biggest SCAM. We went to the third level for the great view. We waited at the bar for about 10 minutes without getting served. It wasnt busy maybe 20 people in total. Finally Benjamin served us. I got a double rail vodka soda. It literally came in a 10 oz glass completely filled with ice very little drink. It was $26. I thought it was a joke. There was barely any alcohol in the drink. The biggest waste of money ever. We will never be back!

We stopped here on our last night of our girls trip and definitely will be coming back! Loved the live music and the crowd. We had a small group so we were able to find a nice spot at the bar and did not have to wait to get our drinks. Our bartender was funny and easy on the eyes (😉 Joseph) can’t wait to come back again and try their cocktails 🍹

We only came in for drinks but on multiple occasions. Drawn in by the incredible musicians they have playing here, more so than many of the other bars. Big bonus compared to most other bars is that their drinks are actually good. They have a decent liquor selection, make a great old fashioned (maybe a little too sweet), and have good service. Plus it’s beautiful inside with their hanging lights. Washrooms are large and were very clean when we went. Cocktails I think were $15 each.

Do not go here unless you are a professional line dancer. The line dancers pretend they’re in a cult and are good when they’re rude. Ruined the whole atmosphere. Wish my experience was different.

I had high expectations for Whiskey River and was sorely disappointed. We got there around lunch so we headed upstairs to the restaurant and rooftop bar. Its a seat yourself kind of place so we did and waited about 15 minutes with a couple of wait staff wandering around but ignoring us. I finally asked for menus. Another 5 minutes and we were met by Brad, our waiter. We ordered and he was wonderful! I observed 2 other waiters just slowly wandering and Brad was literally hopping all over the place. I also watched what I assumed was management just stand there.The food came out quick. I ordered a cheeseburger which was nothing special. The hubs ordered the Whiskey River burger and it was pretty good. Brad didnt come back but I watched him bounce around all over the place. Seemed like he was the only one working up there besides the bartenders. We went and found someone to see if we could close out. Brad came back and I told him that it seemed like he was only one in the mood to work. I was impressed with his work ethic but the entire experience left a lot to be desired.

The bartender Morgan is awesome! I wish we were staying an extra day just to go back and see her again! Next time we’re in town we’ll be back here for sure- yummy food and cool rooftop to hangout at. Morgan gave us great recommendations to go out and visit for the rest of our day and was so kind! Thanks so much!!- Sarah and Tyler

The perfect rooftop bar for lunch. The food is delicious and the service is great. Don’t miss out. This place isn’t a well-known stop but the food is good and bathrooms are probably the cleanest in town. At least the ladies. 😉 But hubby said the men’s room is clean too. We walked to the 4th floor rooftop but there is an elevator.

The 2nd floor was comfortable and fun, the service was quick and friendly. Unfortunately you cant order food on this floor so we were told to go to the 3rd. We waited forever for service on the roof top (3rd floor). We actually ended up leaving as we couldnt get the attention of any waiter to even give us menus, let alone take our order. Would not recommend.

Food was decent for bar food. Our server Jordan was amazing! Gave us great recommendations for our trip and shared some history from excursions she leads. She was super on top of it without being overbearing. Also she actually grabbed our plates from us when we were done instead of just leaving them to sit and ruin the atmosphere which is rare nowadays. saw her constantly cleaning up random things around her. bar downstairs was also super awesome and friendly and the band was great. bonus for the mechanical bull. will be back!!

Beautiful bar, terrible food. Great place to hang, but move along if youre hungry. My salad was swimming in BBQ sauce and dressing to the point that my friends had to ask what I ordered. I didnt eat it. Not one of the 8 of us enjoyed their food. Server wasnt interested if anyone was satisfied.
