This show was fantastic!! The whole cast is incredibly talented!! It is high energy and we were entertained the whole time. It's an intimate venue, and there is a lot of audience interaction. There are a lot of things to do in Nashville, and we were glad we spent time seeing this show. Keep in mind, this is an adult show... hence why it's 18+.... and not the show for you if you are easily offended. P.S. There is an option to go downstairs to a bar after the show, but it fills up fast. We weren't able to get in after using the restroom first -- so you want to go, make sure you go in and get a seat before anything else. read more

Funny show. Theater seating is close to the stage. Feels intimate. Performers are great.

The venue was clean and beautiful as I walked in. I was able to get a drink quickly and sit down with ease. The show was humorously crafted as we joined the Shiner's in their "family reunion" with interactive crowd work, spectacular specialty acts, and (of course) great singing . A show unlike anywhere else in Nashville. read more

Had the opportunity to go see the show while recently visiting Nashville. The show was spectacular, especially the acrobatics. The food and drinks were amazing (highly recommend the Bumbu Expresso Martini!!). There's bar and venue were beautiful. The experience was priceless! It's a hilarious story with acrobats that were mind blowing. There's a lot of audience participation with even more laughs! A must do while in town!! Intended for mature audiences with a sense of humor. read more

I booked table tickets for my partner's birthday, and the night started pretty good. The venue has this old, majestic charm that pulls you in right away. The acrobatic women were incredible in their separate scenes, each one showing real strength and talent. The contortionist was fantastic and easily one of the most impressive parts of the night. We ordered a few drinks and some appetizers. Everything was just ok, nothing memorable. Our server wasn't attentive at all, and we ended up with empty plates sitting in front of us for most of the night. Then toward the end, things took a strange turn. The show introduced a "South African" character making exaggerated tribal noises and strange calls. It came across racially off-key and uncomfortable. The Black actor tried to balance the whole thing by getting audience members to do silly tasks, but it still didn't work. Watching him on the floor chasing a white man's butt as mostly white audience members laughed felt wrong. With the earlier quirky hillbilly-style bits and then this, the finale just didn't land. The talent is absolutely there, but the creative direction and the service need a serious rethink. read more

Very cool and funny experience. It was full of acts made into funny live performances. The actors were great. Kept the vibe lively. Like they said not for people who gets easily offended, but I don't think it was that crazy for people to not enjoy the show. Good place to book for a fun time! read more

Shiners Nashville - He can really twist around!! - Performing Arts Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I'm sorry to say we did not enjoy this show, and it had nothing to do with the "raunchiness" of it, as we had read up on it prior to going and have been to other adult shows in other places that we enjoyed. It did have it's moments. There was truly some impressive athleticism and talent on stage, and I would have liked to see a greater emphasis put on showcasing that talent. Unfortunately more than half of the show (not that I timed it, but it felt this way) is spent on just talking and jokes, or segments that bring the audience on stage, distracting from that talent. The jokes usually didn't land, and overall, the writing needs a re-visit. There was a whole number based on making animal sounds near the end of the show that quite frankly, just felt really out of place, and doesn't leave you wanting more. The wow factor of the show was in the dance and acrobatic numbers, and especially the contortionist, where you had raucous applause and people really captivated by it. More of that would make for a way better show! We went because the performance was advertised to us as an adult style cirque du soleil with a country spin... so we went expecting that... and it just landed very far away from that. On top of this, we paid for box seats because we thought we would be getting some kind of premium or more comfortable experience. Instead, we got a highly obstructed view on an uncomfortable couch which we eventually gave up for a worse view, but the ability to be comfortable. They don't tell you any of this when booking online, so here is the info. For the box seats, the front four seats being sold are actually a couch, which unless all four people getting it know each other very well, and are petite and thin-framed people, you're going to be crammed into without any kind of respite. The second row of four seats gets you your own seat... but it's a bar grade high top table style seat, that naturally leans you forward due to wear, making you constantly have to fight the feeling of falling because there is nothing to lean forward on. On the extreme left, you'll be able to see most of what is going on, and have a more comfortable seat as there is a built-in style couch that runs the full length, giving people the ability to space out just a little. We moved to this once it was shown there was room. The entire thing just gave "we cram as many people as we possibly can in here" vibes, like what you get on an airplane. On the whole, for what we paid to go, we did not feel it was worth it, and would not recommend it to other people. read more

Shiners Nashville is an absolute must see show for anyone who is looking for a fresh approach to adult comedy mixed with amazing cirque performances. I hosted a surprise bachelorette outing for a friend and the entire group had a BLAST. Located at historic Woolworth Theatre in downtown Nashville the shows features a variety of performances that are sure to WOW you. It's good ole adult fun in a beautiful venue. If you're not shy or easily embarrassed then I recommend grabbing the front row center seat for a chance to be included in the show. Here are a few more details to consider: Parking: Paid parking garages and surface lots Age Restrictions: All 7pm performances at the Woolworth Theatre are 18+ Prices: Starting at $70; VIP Tickets are available and include box seating, dedicated wait staff, access to the small bites menu, private bar and restrooms. Show Dates Thursday-Saturday check website for times Concessions available for purchase. read more

What an amazing time we had. Front row. Exceeded our expectations many times over. Our crew of 8 had a great time. Show was awesome. Crew was friendly and professional. Comedy on point, acts complimented all of the cast. We had a great time and can't wait to come back for a show. I'd highly recommend this for anyone in town. Cheers read more

Shiners Nashville - Not many photos as I'd rather watch the show! - Performing Arts Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Amazing show that will blow your mind and leave you in stitches! You definitely don't want to miss it!

The show is definitely not worth the cost of the ticket. It started out fun and exciting and then somewhere along the way it got weird. It was really difficult to understand and trust the process. I felt as though I was watching a hillbilly talent show. Don't get me wrong there are some acts that are impressive while others left me wondering "what is going on here". There's no flow and it just kind of ended. I don't know. Maybe because so many tourists attend it stays in business but as a local I won't be coming back. I wanted this to be a show that I'd be excited to bring my visitors to Nashville to. I don't think I can even recommend it to anyone. It's sad because Woolworth's Theater is a beautiful venue being wasted on crap. read more

Awesome experience. They do a great job getting the crowd in the show. Stunts were amazing. You will not be disappointed in this experience

I rarely leave a very negative review, but honestly, this is not a good show, especially for $75 a ticket in such a beautiful, historic venue in downtown Nashville. Some of the acrobatics are certainly impressive and the contortionist is amazing, but "Shiners" needs a plot and a story. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of antics thrown together. I am not offended by the "F" word, but the cast kept saying it over and over, to try to elicit laughter because their jokes are so lame. We were so bored, we left before it was over. read more

I'm torn about this show. There were some really good parts and some parts that probably need some work. Located about two blocks from broadway the show hosts a bar downstairs with a variety of drinks and food. The showroom itself is on the smaller side. It includes 3 sections of seats downstairs and a small balcony section for the high rollers. The show itself was a mix. There was definitely some talent on the floor. Without giving away too much information the pole dancer and hand balancers were top level acts. There was a funny towel routine as well. The contortionist was good. The rest of the performances struggled for one reason or another. The final song was terrible and a waste of time. The first "fight" scene was disjointed and didn't really show much, it wasn't well choreographed. They wasted way too much time on some animal sound act. The audience interactions often started funny, but took too long and lost the crowd. The jokes were raunchy, but so predictable it hurt. The entire thing just felt disjointed and poorly paced. If they get a better writer and figure out how to fill the time between their highlight acts this could be a really good show. Price on tickets were $80-150 for a 1.5 hour show. Could be a fun night with a couple drunk friends. Not sure I'd recommend this for a date. I'm torn about this show. read more

Amazing show! Forget the honkey tonk, this is the place where comedy, performance, and pure entertainment will last all night. The performers were all just incredible! I will be back to see the show again where I come back to Nashville. read more

So I read the reviews and many people said the show was "too raunchy" and thought it was right up my alley. It was entertaining, I didn't think it was raunchy at all. As a matter of fact I wished it was a lot more raunchier but it wasn't. The transition from Family Fued Game Show to the Animal Sounds was very confusing and didn't make sense. The girls did a phenomenal job with the acrobatics.'I noticed my friend and I were the youngest ones there as everyone else was a lot older in their late 50's, 60's, and 70's. It was entertaining though. The storyline was odd but funny. Located in a good area. read more

The show was great. Recommend sitting on the lower level...box seats are not as good visually as well as audience participation. The performers were amazing. read more

Pros: Hilarious R-rated comedy (yes it gets raunchy, if you don't like that, this isn't your show) Awesome athletes and artists, I was amazed at the strength and abilities of the acrobats Intimate setting - the theater is way smaller than I imagined Loved the host, even though his "skill" was a brief song and guitar, he held the show together Most of the audience engagement (even if planned) was fun! Cons: The cost - holy moly this is expensive even with a discount. We spent $170 on two tickets with a 10% discount. The animal sounds / game show act was weird... I'd say that's normally a talent but it felt more chaotic than an act especially with awkward audience engagement. The singing at the end, although lovely, seemed super unimpressive after you've watched people defy human strength I've seen it once and don't need to see it again, but I'd recommend it to a visitor or local looking for something new, entertaining, and you can make it alcohol free and still laugh - promise (I did!). read more

This was a great show! I highly recommend it. My cheeks hurt from laughing. We meet several of the performers after the show. All great people. We got there early and ate at the bar. The carnitas tacos were really tender. The couple next to us had ordered several different items. Mozzarella sticks being one of them. I so wanted to try it because it smelled amazing! The chef even came out to ask is if we enjoyed our food. Drinks were pretty good as well. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend going to this show when visiting Nashville! read more

Shiners Nashville showed that everyone deserves to shine. I don't think I've laughed or cheered this hard in one night! The performers are incredibly interactive with the crowd making it feel like you're part of the show. It's the perfect mix of comedy, confidence, and chaos. Every performer radiates this wild blend of strength, skill, bravery, and pure charisma. Whether you're a local or just visiting, do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

This is a MUST SEE. They interact with the audience. Most of the cast has been on Americas Got Talent. No bad seats, the night we were there if you were in the balcony you were the "rich" folks. Go have fun! read more

This show was absolutely amazing. Super fun. The people giving it fewer stars apparently expect something entirely different. The main guy interacts with the audience. Hes hilarious in sort of a ryan reynolds way. There are amazing performances and frankly the 2 strong guys did acrobatics I didnt think possible. In fact most of the performers had moments that seemed impossible. It was a great way to spend the evening. A friend of mine suggested it and shes been 3 times. Whenever out of town friends are visiting she takes them to the show. The front door guy Justin was also super helpful. Save a horse ride a pole! And wow that lady knew what she was doing! read more

This is BY FAR the dumbest thing I've ever seen or heard. The biggest waste of time and money you'll ever spend. Even the $17 Vodka drink (with no Vodka actually in it) is a rip-off. There are alot of other things to do in Nashville, don't put this on your list of things to do. read more

Best performance in town. I would recommend it to anyone because of how funny it was. Joe Fix it was the best performance

So good- talented young cast, amazing performances from singing to pole / trapeze acrobatics! Very funny ,entertaining and enjoyable show!!

The show was very entertaining, the cast was funny and friendly. The contortionist was incredible! The venue was a little warm so dress comfortably! I would recommend eating before the show. The pricing of the food is high for the taste. The carne asada tacos were almost to salty too eat. The Duck fat fries tasted like cheap dollar store fries. read more

Super fun show and great talent! Once again , Nashville comes through with original type of adult entertainment! I've lived and traveled all over the world and this show was unique and fun. Almost Las Vegasish style. We had front row seats but weren't "picked on" some others were involved but it was all fun. The whole show was great and I highly recommend it! read more

This place was so much fun! I mistakenly ordered tickets to the adult show for my family to go & they were so helpful to get me to the appropriate show, good for all ages. They treated me & my family very well, got an upgrade for my 50th birthday which was such a treat! What an entertaining show, now I am so curious what the adult show would be like. I will have to book a date night with my husband to find out soon! We will be back! read more

Pros: Spacious upscale bar with lots of comfortable seating downstairs. Intimate theater with no bad seats. The back row is still only maybe 20 feet from the stage. The acrobatic skill on display is thrilling! Cons: Extremely awkward, nearly incoherent, storytelling. There is a vague storyline about a "family reunion" but it just doesn't tie into the acts. It would work better if set up as a series of short talent exhibitions, which is what it is. Also, this is not a long show. We were in and out in less than 1.5 hours. I paid $110 per ticket and I don't feel it was worth that price. read more

Really enjoyed the show, it's like a combo of theatre/broadway/cirqudesoleil/comedy and the talent was fantastic - each character had their own individual skit featuring their skills. I enjoyed the acrobats the most as that's definitely not something you see everyday in Nashville.. a true "nashvegas" vibe. Definitely 18+ and a bit raunchy (I would be uncomfortable with my parents, but super fun with friends). I'm looking forward to going again. Gorgeous old school, clean, intimate theatre in an easy to get to location downtown, plenty of drinks and snacks available. There is a parking garage right to the left of the theatre, or you can park on the commerce side of fifth + broadway & walk! read more

My husband took me for a date night and we had a blast. I love the intimate size of the theatre and how the actors/athletes interact with the audience. As with most comedy, if you're sitting in the front row you're likely going to become part of the show. Drink prices were standard but the pours were heavy! It's certainly a unique blend of acts. It's not for the modest and the meek. They have a talented group who clearly love their jobs. We enjoyed going downstairs and chatting with the cast afterward. They are just as kind as they are talented. read more

Brought a group of friends for my birthday and had no idea what we were in for! Hilarious and wild talents. The audience interaction could not have been better.
