Live music was really great! Drinks are pretty expensive though. Like many bars on Broadway, drinks can get a little pricey, but $8 for a 12 oz. can of beer seemed a bit crazy. Let's say I only had 1 here, but it worked out because we were watching the band most of the time! read more

Monday visit. Great band on first floor. We went straight to the top to see where Morgan Wallen through the chair off into the street and drank a cold one. Cool experience. Looks like they have a few big names come in. Larry Gatlin is big to us. Long ways up those steps. 2nd floor was Ashley McBrides bar. One lonely dude in there playing to the bartender when we peaked in. read more

Chief's on Broadway is a six-story Nashville bar and music venue owned by Eric Church, located in the heart of downtown at 200 Broadway. Opened in 2024, it features Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ, a rooftop bar (Hell of a Q), and the dedicated music venue featuring the Neon Steeple. Redemption Bar, located on the 5th floor in partnership with Ashley McBryde, is a premier non-alcoholic-forward space launched in Aug 2025 focusing on original music. I was here twice during our recent trip to Nashville. The first was early afternoon on the 1st Floor for quality music (Shelby Lee Lowe), some tasty brisket sliders, and beer of course. The 2nd was the "Church Choir" tour of the building itself. That was fun and entertaining, and of course getting to know about Eric Church a little more. The folk working here were all friendly and helpful. read more

Very busy rooftop bar/restaurant. There are several floors to the building. Only 2 floors have full menu. We had to ask around to understand the process once someone lets you up the elevator. You order at the bar, receive a number and find a seat. Brittany at the bar is very businesslike but helpful - just very busy! Our food arrived in about 15min. The collards and riblets are not hot so I sent back the collards but was too hungry to wait on more riblets since that was my full meal. Hubby's burger and Mac and cheese was hot and delicious. If in the area, I'd visit again. read more

One of the best places on Broadway. So many options to choose from on each floor ultimately makes this place a great stop for a large group. Barbecue sandwiches here are incredibly great. They are definitely low country South Carolina style. I personally like the third floor out of all of the options available. Both day and night this floor host dueling pianos - you will love it. read more

McBride concert was pretty decent. It's kind of an odd place where you go up 5 floors to check in and down a couple floors to the show. Wicked crowded and the crowd was strange, really, but maybe that's the crowd she draws? We almost got in a fight, I'm told, although I never saw what happened. Anyway I would return to check it out again. read more

Chief's on Broadway Chief's on Broadway is hands down one of the coolest spots on the strip. From the moment you walk in, it feels elevated but still rowdy in the best Nashville way. The space is beautiful--rustic, modern, and thoughtfully designed--with incredible views of Broadway the higher you go. The live music was fantastic, and the sound quality really stood out compared to other bars nearby. It felt less chaotic and more intentional, which made it easy to actually enjoy the music while still having that high-energy Broadway buzz. Drinks were well made and service was solid, especially considering how busy it gets. The crowd was lively but not overwhelming, and the whole place just felt... cool. Like you're somewhere special, not just another bar hop stop. If you want a break from the madness without losing the fun, Chief's is absolutely the move. It's stylish, energetic, and has a vibe that sticks with you long after you leave. Definitely one of my favorite stops on Broadway. read more

*Ashley McBryde's Redemption Bar - 5th Floor of Chief's* Walking into Ashley McBryde's Redemption Bar felt like a reset from the chaos of Broadway. It's on the 5th floor of Eric Church's Chief's building. It's a dark and moody, smallish bar that feels more hometown than big city. The focus on zero-proof cocktails which is great for anyone not wanting to drink alcohol or for a mid-day NA drink. I tried the drink called One Night Standards, which came with a Ring Pop! My husband tried the Sam Adam's NA IPA, which I actually liked more than my drink! They had food, but we opted just for drinks. They have a ton of fun options, all inspired by country music artist Ashley McBryde's music. There is an intimate music setup in the corner, and the music that day was great! It's calm without being boring at all. Pretty cool spot to check out if you're wanting to step away from the chaos of Broadway. read more

I'm a fan of the Sirius station the Highway. They frequent Chiefs so on my recent visit to Nashville I was anxious to stop in to Chiefs. Walking down from The Hermitage where we were staying I elected to leave my purse behind so I had no form of identity. I'm a 73 year old lady & was accompanied by my 76 year old husband. On arriving at Chiefs I was surprised to learn from the 2 attendants at the Chiefs door that I could only enter their establishment with 2 huge black ID X's drawn across both hands. Surprised, I accepted that & was then rudely cautioned not to wash off the marks - because I might be under age? I understand that this might be a state/city law but the "boys" at the door could not have been ruder or less hospitable. Chiefs - train your staff to be better hosts. You should be ashamed. read more

Chief's on Broadway is a must-see when in Nashville! I had a great time here. Start on the top floor and enjoy the view, grab a drink, and enjoy the music. There are Police patches on the walls as you walk down the floors. The bar is named "Chief's" because Eric Church inherited the bar from his grandfather who was Chief of Police. As you work your way down, each floor features a different theme and live music. I hungout on the 5th floor at the Redemption Bar for a while. My favorite floor, based on decorations, music, and vibes, was the dueling pianos. I appreciate how the live performers added their own style to each of the songs that were requested, and they really knew their stuff! It was so impressive! The first floor was the loudest, with country music. read more

Fun bar on Broadway! I love the first floor bar atmosphere, but honestly each floor was awesome. I stopped in for the music row happy hour show by the highway -- super cool to see this live after hearing about it on the radio for years. Bar was easy to navigate and seemed like a popular place to be. I'd for sure come back again! read more

Food: I ordered the brisket sandwich at the recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint. It was probably some of the most tender, juicy, delicious melt-in-your-mouth brisket I've ever had. It was a rather simple sandwich with just the meat between the buns. A side order of Mac and cheese complemented my meal and there was ketchup and bbq sauce. That part was just ok, but the Mac and cheese was also delicious. I'd come back for the food alone. Service: We were on the roof and ordered food and drinks at the bar counter - then found a seat along the ledge for the view. They brought our food out to us on trays. After that there wasn't really any additional check in, but I don't mind that. Ambiance: The rooftop is great for views albeit a little small. There was a DJ playing and it was reasonable as far as noise goes, in mid afternoon/early evening on a Friday. I'd definitely come back for the food. Haven't been later at night so can't say what the vibe is. Overall I had a good time here. I'm pretty easygoing so the experience didn't disappoint. read more

Probably the worst bar experience on broadway. My friends and I came here for 1 last drink before we went home for the night because someone we know was playing in the band. Upon arrival, we got seats at the bar and got our orders taken from the bartender on the first floor. First of all, broadway in general is crazy expensive but this bartender gave us top shelf without us asking just to charge us more which I didn't like. After we got our drinks (1 tequila soda, 2 vodka sodas, and a miller lite), we realized the bartender made a mistake and made 2 tequila sodas instead of 2 vodka sodas. We literally had only taken 2 sips when we told him and asked very nicely if he could remake the one drink correctly. He then got super mad and threw the drink in the garbage very aggressively. My friend didn't like his attitude regarding his own mistake, so she said never mind we don't want you to make us another one forget about it and the bartender freaked out and told us byeeee. He tried to get us kicked out of the bar but luckily the security guards were on our side and even told us that that specific bartender is know to be a diva. The security team/bouncers were all very nice, it was just that terrible experience with that shitty bartender that gives this place 2 stars. With so many bars on broadway your place really has to stand out to be successful. If you have shitty staff you're not going to do well. read more

Great spot for a drink on Broadway when visiting Nashville. We arrived Friday afternoon and saw a few bands on multiple levels who were mostly playing covers but respectable. Of course, we went to the top floor (6?) for The Drink. For those in the know, MW "might" have tossed a chair from here and Eric's team made a drink out of it. One apology and plea deal later, EC has a sugary drink with props ready to please Sheeple like us. Overall, great experience. Mediocre tribute drink. Bar is solid though, good bourbon selection. I'll be back to see bands in the evening. read more

This is the infamous bar of Morgan Wallen throwing a chair fame! I am happy to say that they have leaned into it and offer a decently potent drink on the rooftop. Of all the honky tonks on Broadway, Cheif's is probably the most put together and extensive. Its kind of tall so all those stairs are a bit killer. Still, they utilize every space in that building for something good so thats nice to have. As for the prices, I thought they were pretty fair, especially for Broadway. I liked it and I would recommend it to anybody looking for some live music and an awesome roof! Just don't throw the chairs. They are watching you! I am not kidding! read more

To be honest... I was disappointed. I love his music but his bar wasn't great. Small main level and only a portion of it can see the stage. I don't like the design or layout. Went to the 5th floor because 2-4 weren't open (reserve for events of performers and we were visiting during lunch on a weekday). The 5th is a small restaurant with a good but limited menu. Extremely friendly staff and food cake out quick, but very expensive (as everything around Broadway is). I hate being a downer, but there are several other better places in town for music and food. read more

Fun place for great music with food options. My husband and I enjoyed listening to the dueling pianos, an afternoon of listening to great musicians, and an evening enjoying a show in the Neon Steeple. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Nashville. Being from TX, the BBQ is different than our norm but tasty. I would recommend a better wine option in the restaurant. read more

5 stories of music and food. Went for lunch at the recommendation of the visitor office by the hockey coliseum. The place i wanted to go to was closed. I wanted bbq. The pulled pork from a giant hog they claimed; was good but too peppery for me. The bbq sauce was meh. The beans and mac n cheese were good. Music was very good. I went to several floors. read more

Local Nashvillian- we came for lunch on a February Saturday to try out the hot chicken special. No problem getting a table. Our server was kind to us and replenished our drinks without asking, which I love. Hubby got the hot chicken sandwich and loved it, I got it too but with the Alabama white sauce and it was awesome! The two pieces of chicken were huge and I couldn't finish it. We each got a side, loved my potato salad but did not care at all for the mac and cheese. Rodney Scott hits home runs here! We are so glad we came and tasted a few things. The dining area is small but we scored a booth overlooking Broadway and it's fun to watch the crowd down below. Restrooms were nice and clean, and it's a fun place to try. read more

Chief's is a must-stop if you're exploring Broadway! The vibe is pure Eric Church--each floor has its own personality, from live music and memorabilia to a chill jazz-club vibe on the second level. It's a multi-level experience that stands out among the honky-tonks. The real gem? The rooftop bar. Gorgeous city views, plenty of seating, and Rodney Scott's BBQ make it feel like a hidden oasis above the chaos. I had the pulled pork sandwich and a cocktail while soaking in the skyline--absolutely worth it. Only reason it's not a full five stars? The main floor can get super crowded, and seating/view of the stage is a little limited unless you're lucky. But if you head upstairs, you'll find your sweet spot. Great music Delicious rooftop BBQ Stunning views Energetic, fun crowd Would definitely return! read more

LOVED Cody Atkins and his partner on floor 2 where they played their original music for hours. Was so chill and welcomed intimate feel. Loved the decor all throughout!!!!!

Music act was pretty bad, Shelby Lee Lowe basics asked for money the whole time, 100$ for free bird! I did give him 25$ put in three songs, he played one said he didn't know the others. The food was not as good as Rippy Honky Tonk. The atmosphere and friendliness was lacking too. There are beater places for sure. read more

This was our first time in Nashville, and we chose Chief's after a long day of flying. The signage outside is a little confusing. Ask the bouncers outside for the restaurant, and you will be directed to the fifth floor. The service was great, so were the drinks. The cornbread was a little dry, as well as the chicken in the sliders, but overall, it was a good first dinner in Nashville. read more

I've done the coffee tour with Carlos twice now, and this was my first time with Ally. Both were super personable and knowledgeable. It's a really cool experience if you're a Trybe or Church Choir member. I can't wait until I'm back again to learn even more because there is just soooo much to see! Separate from the tours, the bartenders at Chiefs and Redemption were really sweet and attentive - even though they have a million things going on at any given time. The woman with the Rock sweater and blonde hair has the best vibe and attitude all of the times I've seen her - which has been a lot over the past two days! read more

Such a fun spot ~ truly six floors of energy and entertainment! The views from the upper level is fantastic and totally worth the climb (even if those stairs are brutal ). Take a pic on the pig!

JAYLA IS THE BEST SERVER EVER!!! We were there Friday April 17. It was so crowded when we got there, I wasn't sure how we were ever going to be able to order drinks. While Jayla was serving drinks next to us, she asked if we would like to open a tab. From that point on, EVERY time we needed drinks, she was delivering them to us from just a look from across the room. Despite a little fainting incident, we had the best time ever watching Buzz and Nick. With surprise guest Mitchel Tenpenny. read more

So disgusted I'm celebrating my honeymoon with friends, specifically asked about watching the concert from the spot we were in on the roof. After being told it's open we spent several hours eating and drinking to be told at 5:45 someone rented the half we were on and had to move where we can't even see the stage. It's extremely frustrating because we asked multiple staff!! The 2 gentleman we spoke with were extremely apologetic however you totally screwed us seeing what we came and were told we could do! read more

Super friendly service. The food was good as well. We hung out on the rooftop but on the inside section of it unfortunately there was a n event reservation for the outdoor area. There are three levels total (ground, second floor in addition the aforementioned rooftop) as well as some outdoor ground floor patio seating. The beer selection was fairly typical for Broadway (not a terrible thing). We ordered the loaded chips (great) and pork belly burnt ends (also good). Definitely worth stopping in. read more
