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.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Nashville!…read more The Eighth Room is everything you didn't know you were looking for in a music venue. Tucked just off the beaten path of downtown, this boutique space oozes character, intimacy, and killer vibes. Every time I step through the door, it feels like I've discovered a secret that only the cool kids know about. Whether it's an indie showcase, a soul-soaked local band night, or their unmissable First Tuesday Karaoke, the talent here is next level. (Seriously--this isn't your average karaoke; it's like a concert with surprise headliners who happen to be your friends.) The sound system is crisp, the lighting is on point, and the staff? Absolute gems--welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you're tired of the same ol' honky-tonk circuit and want something more elevated, intimate, and real--The Eighth Room is your spot. Go once, and you'll be back again and again. Tell them Ru Devi sent you!

We traveled to Nashville for a quick weekend trip centering on attending a musical performance by…read morean artist we know at Exit/In. 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.

It got warm fast while dancing Everything is painted black inside, it literally looked like a basement. I will say it's nothing fancy but I felt safe.

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.

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.

She was so helpful and just the sweetest. A guy approached us trying to converse when we were really just trying to talk to each other (he was harmless), but Bethany still kept an eye on us to make sure we were okay, which made me feel really safe. The decor inside was nice: large leather booths and very interesting art. I loved the beaver Mona Lisa at the back entrance (or at least I think it's a beaver lol). Maybe it was a little empty because of the day/time, but it was nice to be able to have a conversation with my friend without having to scream over a ton of people or loud music. They do have live music on certain days if you like that kind of thing, but Sunday was super chill. There's also a QR code on the tables that leads to a menu for the food truck parked outside. They bring the food right to you, so it's very convenient to have a snack while you're drinking. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I'm glad I no longer have to drive 30 minutes and pay $30 for parking just to have a drink.

The bar does not serve food, but there is always a local food truck outside where you can purchase food. I went on the Grand Opening Night. There was a live band playing covers of Fleetwood Mac.

You order at the bar, and the bar has a good mixture of German beers as well as cocktails. Another perk for me was that the youngest age group was millennials.

You do have to have a clear, small bag and I believe there are blanket size restrictions as well. They have chairs for rent, but you can easily grab a chair from the rental pile for free when the workers aren't looking. The crowd definitely has its drunks, but there were lots of families and kids. Metro PD patrols around on foot, but they tend to hang closest to the porta potties and food stands. Definitely eat and drink before you get in here because as you could expect, prices are insane.
