I was in town visiting for the National Urban League conference, and they hosted one of their…read moreconference evening outings at this location. This is a massive operation with multiple floors, BOWLING and a massive stage and dance floor. While we didn't order food, we did drink quite a bit and found the drinks to be pretty strong, which is good given the fact that your drinks will likely average anywhere from $12-$15. The highlight of the space is the stage and dance floor area. We were fortunate enough to have several performers for this event and the quality acoustics combined with the spacious area to dance, which was mostly line dancing for this crowd, was a nice feature. I am so used to being overcrowded in places like this, but I was actually able to get a line dance or two in without stepping on too many feet. Bartender service was prompt and friendly, but the number of security and bouncers at the front tells me that this place must get rowdy from time to time. That being said, this would definitely be a spot. I would check out in the future.

Went to a show last night that was wildly oversold. The design of the room makes it extremely…read moredifficult to see the stage unless you fight through a crowd to get to the front. I'm guessing that's where you can also hear the music, I didn't get a chance to get that close. The sound is dull and it's extremely hard to hear at most spots around the room. I couldn't hear entire instruments that should have been in the mix. The drinks are stadium prices and they have a poor selection available. The only nice thing I enjoyed was a clean bathroom with the sound of the show pumped into the bathroom, which was the only place I actually heard the music.

I have been to a decent amount of concerts and The Allman Brothers (lucky to see them before they…read moreretired) was the best solo act, but for a whole show start to finish, this was the best concert experience of my life. The lineup: Bayway, Kruelty, and Peeling Flesh. This place was Rockin' beyond belief! We had people stage-diving, doing roundhouse kicks, one dude just storming through the crowd like a bulldozer, an insane mosh pit, the best drummer I have ever seen for Kruelty, an extremely underrated band in Bayway, and energy through the roof with Peeling Flesh! It was absolute organized chaos! And I couldn't have been happier. Imagine a scene where it's energy Level 10 from start to finish across all three bands. That's what happened. And it was the perfect venue for it because it's small but not too small. The parking and drink prices here are high as they would be at any concert venue, but the staff is great. A really chill while also alert staff that treats everyone like a human being as opposed to a piece of revenue. The entire experience was incredibly authentic. And if you're hungry before the show, there is a barbecue place and a pizza shop within walking distance. Highly recommended! Awesome experience. By the way, the parking lot is literally right next to the building. It's super simple.

City Winery Nashville - Honest Review…read more My first experience at City Winery was unfortunately disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend it based on this visit. The burger was dry, and although the menu mentioned a "secret sauce," it tasted more like a simple mix of mayonnaise and ketchup -- nothing special, and barely any sauce at all. They also weren't able to accommodate salted onions or caramelized onions, which felt surprising for a full kitchen. The chicken tacos were bland, with no seasoning, no heat, and no hot sauce or flavorful elements to bring them together. Everything tasted flat and underwhelming. The wine tasting was another letdown. We weren't given any descriptions or explanations about the wines -- they simply dropped off the flights without telling us what we were drinking, which took away from the whole tasting experience. Overall, the service was the only positive part of the visit. The food lacked flavor, the wine tasting lacked guidance, and the experience didn't match the expectations for a place known for wine and dining. Definitely disappointing for a first visit.

It's been years since I've been to The East Room. I remember attending some underground metal and…read morepunk shows back in the pre-plague days, seem to remember some ratty couches scattered about in this space. My partner and I hit up one of the "Fascination Street" goth dance nights this past weekend and had an absolute blast. Perfect environment for that, great DJs and an active, friendly, engaged crowd. Drinks are farily priced (for real, like it's not hard Nashville!), and...it's actually clean in here?! Including the bathrooms! Of course, do your best to not have to go to the bathroom while here because it will take you 30 minutes or so to get through the line to reach the stall (but once there it's private and clean, sink within). It's just a really cool space from the stage you can dance on if you choose to plenty of other spaces to dance less in the "spotlight", some chairs and tables and balcony area to relax and chill out a bit as well. Parking can be a beast--there's a free lot out front but with just a few spots, street parking is not super plentiful or prevalent. There are a lot of businesses with full lots and since pretty much anything you come to here is after those businesses are closed one in theory SHOULD be able to park there, but there's a sign that says the Walgreens def tows after midnight (for those 2 am shoppers to a closed location?)--we took a chance at another business and were lucky.

This is my first time at this venue and it reminds me of the Old Forrester Music Hall in Louisville. Limited seating, balcony views, and spartan decor. Full bar and large open concept with the possibility of dancing to the music. Several local patrons sitting near us filled me in more on the history of the property. Specifically, that it's not nearly as appealing as it used to be prior to changing ownership to a larger management group who apparently came in and "white washed" the place. They spoke wistfully of the prior decor and memorabilia that was removed and how much of the allure of the space was erased. After speaking with them, I wish I could have seen the place prior to now.

Honestly, I was just relieved we found a spot within easy walking distance. We arrived a few minutes late unfortunately and the lights were already a little dim so I couldn't see the place as well as I wanted. Our tickets and IDs were checked as we walked in. The venue is located on the second floor above another business. The steps are a little steep to watch your heels if you're wearing them! Inside there's a small stage and a nice bar. Seating is pretty limited but for our concert the vibe was definitely super high energy/party focused so we didn't mind standing up to bounce and dance to the music. The bar has a nice array of specialty cocktails. I was very impressed with the bartender, Marc, who was attentive, fun, and hardworking. He even went out of his way to help the performer when a few small details went awry on the stage. I don't drink super often and what I wound up ordering didn't taste quite like how I'd hoped it would, but I'm more than willing to chalk that up to my relative inexperience and general ambivalence toward alcohol. The sound/acoustics were great and the whole place was bumpin! I would advise bringing ear plugs to protect your hearing if you're headed to a loud concert -- you'll inevitably be fairly close to the performer and therefore it can easily be suuuuuper loud with the mics and amps and whatnot. I had a great time but will try to remember mine next time! The only main drawback was it got hot inside super fast. We stood by the open entryway for much of the conference and even that airflow wasn't enough to keep us from leaving very, very sweaty lol. Bring water! Overall, a fun venue and a great night out for us! Thanks, TBV!
