    I stopped here in the evening and this place was okay but didn't quite have the same vibe as some other places. Drinks were okay and prices were okay but the band just okay and the crowd wasn't especially into it. Service was friendly and I'd consider checking this place out again but I'd go elsewhere first. To be fair, might've been a different experience another night with a different band and a crowd with more energy.

    Sunday afternoon vibe is very chill. Good music. Games playing on the tv, drinks and food service available. The staff will bring drinks/food to your table, or you can order directly at the bar. Give a tip to the band to request song. No cover to enter.

    Ask for Noel. She's a sweetheart. Listened to Jillian Eliza's band . It's a fun place, but not too loud.

    We loved the Valentine! Super fun, honky tonk with live music and great mimosa specials. The servers were very attentive, friendly. It was a very welcoming atmosphere. The only food we had was a basket of fries, and it was very good. They had brunch options. We went there twice because we enjoyed it so much.

    By far our most favorite place on Broadway during our visit to Nashville. So nice we went there twice. The entertainment was by far the best we experienced, with Todd Cameron singing our first night, and Conner Sweeny the second night. Also the only place we visited that had carafes of ice water and cups along the edge of the bar. Smaller than some of the other places we visited, but the vibe was so amazing. Small dance floor up front, a small area upstairs open to the stage below.

    I came here pre-Covid on a whim with my husband. We were waking down broad way and someone handed to two buy one get one free drinks cards. We're an easy sell so we head all the way up to the top. That one was one of the funnest bars we went to! It wasn't overly packed and the service was good and drinks were strong. I literally just figure out the name of this bar by the photo coordinates but alas, I loved you Valentine. Can't wait to come back.

    We were in Nashville for a weekend and hit all the spots. Decided to go to the Valentine Rooftop for some food, drinks and live music. @Brenden Monroe was performing the food was great, beer was cold, the roof has BUBBLES and the music was great!

    Blaine Holcomb. Check him out.

    What's the age requirement ? 18?or21?

    For eating all ages. For drinking 21!!!

    Is there a cover for Saturday nights?

    There is no cover on Saturday night at The Valentine.

    Would a 50ish couple that like to dance & party enjoy this club? Is everyone here going to be under 30?

    You're only as young as you feel, right? You will be comfortable here. There are less youngins here than some other spots on Broadway.

But if you're looking for an authentic, old-school Nashville music experience, this IS the place! It's crowded. It's hot. Personal space does not exist. Claustrophobics should plan accordingly. The night we were there, they had a bluegrass jam going, and it was fantastic. Close your eyes and you could imagine yourself sitting in some West Virginia holler listening to a bunch of incredibly talented musicians just playing because they love to play. It was uncomfortable, crowded, hot, completely authentic--and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Station Inn is Nashville the way you hope Nashville still exists.

Once inside, people make a mad dash to claim their seats, and they squeeze in as tight as they can. Popcorn, Jack's-like pizza served on paper plates and buckets of beer are available, and the line is long. The music here IS phenomenal, without a doubt. That alone is worth the visit, but be prepared to wait in line and feel like a sardine stuffed in a tin. Not for the claustrophobic,

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.

You're better off standing up at the bar or leaving if you get that table. Can't speak to the other areas in the room. Only one artist sung at a volume to cut through the mess where we were. The female singer was so quiet even in front of the bar you struggled to hear. I am not panning the place. We'd come back. But only if we can pick our table. Additional information. The doors to the venue open 30 minutes before the show, but the lobby area opens earlier. We were there in plenty of time, but thought our digital tickets would get us in. After waiting in that line and then being told we needed to get to the line to check in, the venue was getting full. Get there early and get in line to check in early. That may get you better seating. Beer was cold. We all had burgers. They were good. Onion rings are pre- battered and the same as frozen ones you get at a fast food joint. Overall I'd recommend visiting, but be aware, if your experience was like ours, you'll most definitely not get value for your dollar.
