Great experience, loved the low key style of the show and singers. Really enjoyed the whole thing. Highly recommend!

One of our favorite activities while visiting Nashville! We came early, ordered drinks and lunch, enjoyed the emcee, and loved listening to the background of popular songs as well as a few we hadn't heard yet. It was such a good time!

We loved this show. If you are ever in Nashville check it out . The service , food and drinks are great. You get to hear the stories from the songwriters perspective. It was such a wonderful experience.

First time visiting Backstage Nashville. We arrived early in order to get a table close to the stage. Our waitress stopped by and said she was being water in which she never did. We ordered a beer and waited for about 30 minutes after our beer arrived before she returned for our food Order. Our food took a while to arrive, but once it did it was delicious. The burger had adequate blue cheese and the burger was seasoned and cooked well. The grilled onions added a nice flavor as well. The crinkle cut fries were crispy on the outside. The show was AMAZING. Very cool to see all the songwriters and hear their stories. The show was better than the service but would still recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This is an awesome singer/songwriter event that I believe only occurs on Saturdays around noonish so book early. Paid about $130 for 4 people and it was so worth it. They featured about 4 or 5 songwriters who sell to country artists like Luke Combs etc. They give insight to how the song took shape and then sing it themselves. This is the backbone of all music! Brady Seals was one of our artists (father is of Seals & Crofts) and we also had someone from one of the TV talent shows. This show was at least 2 hrs. And they have waitresses serving food and drinks to your table. There is a quick meet and greet at the end as well as shirts, books or cds to buy. Best tour type thing I did in Nashville.

Performers!

Best thing we did in Nashville! Such a special time hearing the passion and stories behind the songs. Incredible voices and all-around fun time. Plenty of seating and great food/drink options. What a treat.

Awesome venue off the beaten path, seats fill up quick so get early. We were at a sold out show, so it was a bit packed. We were close to the front of the entry line, so we were able to get seats up close to the stage. We found our seat and ordered drinks. We waited a bit to order dinner. That may have been a mistake due to the number of people, it took about 45 minutes to get it. Service could have been better, especially since 20% gratuity is automatically added regardless of party size. The ribeye sandwich was great, good flavor, tender, juicy and the horseradish sauce topped it off! The fries were nothing special. Overall the food was great. Let's face it, if you find yourself here, it's due to the music, or the food. This is where this place shines! It's awesome to get intimate with some great songwriters who will share their stories about how the songs came to be! Can't go wrong here.

Had an amazing time listening to the songwriters tell their stories and perform their songs. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Wife and I had a great time! Staff was always right there to get us anything we wanted to eat or drink. Food was about what you'd expect from a bar type place. Good enough. Overall musical experience was amazing. So cool to listen to the song writers tell the stories behind their music and then to perform it. So much appreciation for the true talent and not just the popular singers that have "made it." We saw Sarah Buxton, Jed's Hughes, Emma Klein and Heidi Newfield. They truly seemed to love to be signing and playing their music. If you enjoy watching live music, this is definitely a must on your visit to Nashville. Much quieter and overall better experience than on Broadway. We will be stopping here every time we are in Nashville!!

A GREAT afternoon during CMA Fest to hear work from very talented writers/artists. The food and service were spectacular as well.

Always a great time! Went in on a Wednesday to enjoy the 2-4-1 beer special. Ordered the spinach…read moredip ($14). We were a bit disappointed at the change of happy hour food menu which I was told changed two days prior. The dip use to be $8 on it. Although that's a bummer, we can at least order it now at any time. Spacious brewery with seats upstairs, downstairs & outside on the layered patio. Great service by Zach.

Need less to say we continued inside. I'm no sure if this is handicap assessible as we walkeeld up a lil incline to steps. When entering we were looked at in a way that was not warming. However, a voice came from the bar area with directions. We chose to to the flight. The choices were selected with a little help from the bar. They came out pretty quickly. The tasting started and it out of 5, only one did not have a nasty and strong hoppy/bitter after taste. The select were Passion fruit, Hippies and Cowboy, Southern Wit, Urban Hiker, and Wildwood. As we spent our time no one seem to as if we needed anything or if our selection were ok. We got some "why are you in here type" looks. I was not impressed by this brewery. The customer service and my sensing of being not welcome was high. Note we were the only patrons. I would not return.

We were recommended this venue from our hotel concierge. He helped us pick the show time, and so…read morehappy he did. We absolutely loved hearing the people behind the music in such an intimate venue. There is ample room in the theater for seating and dining. The food was very reasonably priced and good quality. They have a limited staff, please don't expect typical dining experiences. Atmosphere (5/5): A cozy, yet vibrant setting. Sound resonated well throughout the theater and not many bad seats to see the stage. Price (5/5): Admission was about $20 per person a food ranges from $10 - $50. They do require a table minimum of 15 per person that needs to go towards drinks or food. Food (4/5): Food quality was decent. The bread on the turkey sandwich was a little dry, while the onions rings were a little soggy. Service (4/5): They do work on a limited staff and each of them are artists. It can take a minute to order and get your food but they have a lot of people.

Gayle, Jim, Erin, and I were here at the 6 PM show on 4/29/26 that featured Jason Duke, Keesy Trimmer, and Chris Bondi. We actually met Keesy when we were walking to the venue as his car pulled up and he asked if we were heading to the Listening Room? When we said yes, he was very excited. We were too at the end of the evening, with all of us agreeing that this was one of, if not the highlight of our trip to Nashville. The Listening Room itself is a large and acoustically solid room within what looked like an old International Harvester Farm Equipment Building. Food and Drink are served and I believe there was a minimum in addition to the admission price. This is normally not a place that you can walk in, so buy your tickets early. We found the food to be "adequate", the service very good, and a 5 Star show experience. Each songwriter took turns with a number, explained some background on it, name dropped artists who recorded their songs, and told some great stories. It seems like the Nashville songwriting community knows each other well, which might explain the easy familiarity all 3 had with each other and their individual song writing efforts. We might have related to Chris Bondi a little more, especially after singing the "I Bet You Would Have Loved Her" tear jerker, and a really funny one on getting high while skiing. Keesy had a great one about a boat and "Time Makes Money Look Cheap" cowritten by him and others and recorded by Chris Janson. Jason Duke showcased "Dibs" that was recorded by Kelsea Ballerini. Or was it "That Could Still Be Us" performed by Keith Urban? Our only regret was that tickets were still available for the 9 PM show (with a new songwriting team) and we passed it up. Post Note: Gayle's song title idea for Keesy: Don't go Puking on my Boots. :)
