Such a fun place to have a night out with the girls! Especially when there's a mechanical bull, live music, and line dancing! Seeing the mechanical bull honestly made my whole night haha. Even if I didn't last very long on it it was still totally worth it! The live music and line dancing definitely added to the vibe, and my group and I had a great time joining in and dancing around :) read more

Fun restaurant. Went for lunch (4th floor) sat inside but near the stage. It was so hot there, not sure where the hot blasts were coming from, but you have been warned! Moved towards the inside, Much better. It was hopping, we ordered our drinks and food at the same time. Our party ordered the wings (small size-perfect amount), the Philly sandwich and the widow maker burger. Wings and Philly sandwich were delicious. Burger overcooked. The server was handling most of the tables in that upstairs area. He didn't come back to check on us. Took a while to flag him down for our final check. All in all its CMA fest, crazy busy, most of the food was great. We will probably go back! read more

Whiskey River Saloon is a high-energy honky-tonk on Broadway, with two floors and plenty going on. It's a really spacious spot with a big stage for live music and has a whiskey bar with an impressive selection of rare and premium whiskeys and bourbons. Whiskey River Saloon came up when we Googled places with mechanical bulls--which is honestly just as fun to watch as it is to ride. Drinks-wise, they have cocktails, beer, and seltzers. Prices felt about average for Broadway. I tried the "Cowboy Juice," which is a mix of Captain Morgan, melon liqueur, Malibu, pineapple juice, and sour mix--sweet and dangerously easy to drink. Overall, it's a great place to hang out! read more

Super nice place, it's very big, they have like 3-4 bar areas, lots of big table and apace for large parties, a bunch of security, nice and huge restrooms, the place looks always very nice and clean, also they have a huge selection of drinks, probably the only thing that I didn't like is that is very pricey in my opinion. read more

This was our first pit stop kickoff for my friends birthday. She wanted to stop in and ride the mechanical bull. Please make sure to have your ID out and ready to show at the front entrance. Casual, kick back country-themed vibes, spacious bar area that serves beers, wine, whiskey, bourbon soft drinks and other spirits. Photo Ops for pics, live music and band. Nice size dance floor. Rooftop area to overlook downtown Nashville. In the back is where you find the mechanical bull ride. You must sign a waiver before getting on the Bull. $10.00 a ride. We had a blast. The handsome cowboys added the fun to this experience. . read more

Location is everything!! Situated on a corner right on Broadway, their balcony serves up the best view. We went upstairs on a warm Thursday night. Our server was so sweet. It wasn't busy so we received a lot of attention. We ordered a couple of appetizers and tried fun cocktails. Everything was fantastic. It was a perfect laid back evening watching the city at night. read more

We stopped here to eat later in the evening because it seemed less busy than other spots on broadway. We had a group of 6 and were able to walk in and get seated immediately. The food was just ok. I ordered a burger with mushrooms and peppers on it. The taste was good but it was extremely wet.., so much so that the bottom bun was extremely wet and sticky with whatever sauce was on it. I probably would not go back. read more

I would say this is the best decor and venue on Broadway! They have the bull for entertainment, an incredible whiskey bar, amazing staff, cleanest bathrooms, and the coolest bar with all hanging lights over the seating. Must see! read more

Fun times; ok bar for drinks. My bartender seemed rushed and not personable but the drink was good. Friendly atmosphere, centrally located on Broadway street. I hung out at the mechanical bull area and attendee there was adorable, engaging and very friendly. That's what customer service is all about. Easy access, no food was the bummer for me. read more

This restaurant has such a nice rooftop area. The downstairs is nice too. They always have live music, just like all the other bars and restaurants downtown. Unfortunately, this restaurant does not serve food downstairs. So, upstairs we went. I normally do not call out servers with a bad attitude and/or who do not do their job well. She had a bad attitude to start. We ordered 12 chicken wings and fries. A guy brings out the wings. Fries never come. So, we told him. MacKenzie comes by and says we never said we wanted fries. We did. She was going back and forth with us. Just bring us fries. She believe she was right... Finally, the fries arrive. She sort of throwthrows them down on the table. They have llittle flavor. So, we ordered Mac and Cheese. This was better but not great. The wings were excellent. Highly recommend those. This was actually the first restaurant we ate at in Nashville. Luckily, the rest of the servers we dealt with were awesome. read more

We were there on a Wednesday night during a pedal tavern experience. Typical Broadway ambience. Decent band. It's a bit further down the beaten path. The place was pretty empty with about only seven patrons. I love my old fashioneds so figuring that this place was called whiskey River, I would try one. Oof! I'm super embarrassed for them. The drink itself was actually pretty good but the presentation was awful. It was served with chipped ice in a plastic cup. read more

Just a thought, if you don't want to make a drink? Just say so. When we walked in there were a handful of folks inside and the bar wasn't busy. My friend requested a "mexican candy" and was told "I dont have anything to make it spicy, so order something else." So we did. Then after dropping our drinks we noticed the two very full bottles of Tabasco... I was also unimpressed that we were charged for doubles when we didnt ask for doubles and clearly got singles. The music was nice though. read more

The first Honky Tonk I visited. Great experience. Vibes here were very fun. No food in the bottom area but they do have a rooftop were you can get food. Great music.

Party of three, we got seats pretty quick on the top floor. The staff saw us seated and attended to us quickly. We didn't wait long for food and we were all happy with how our food turned out. Each of us got a cocktail and it wasn't crowded here. Thunderstorm rolled through but there was plenty of seating inside to shelter while it passed. On the first floor in the back you can find their mechanical bull and bathrooms. They also had live music right near the entrance. Overall it was a nice spot to stop by to get a bull ride in, which was about $11 after tax. We had a great time and I had no complaints. Thank you! read more

this saloon in the heart of Nashville on the main strip had really great snacks. I treated everyone to a couple different appetizers and we annihilated the plates. There wasn't much left after we had a couple drinks needed to munch on something we got the pretzels, which were extremely soft and absolutely huge. It came with some special garlic cheese dip that I've never had in my life before, and it was addicting. The chips were fantastic. I like the way they cut it up and mix everything up. It has some kind of spicy cake that was definitely at the table. Lastly, I got the chicken tenders, which was mixed with fries and it was the perfect comfort food that we needed to weigh down the drinks and keep us going for the rest of the night. The bartender was really fantastic and honestly, the service was really sweet. read more

We spent an afternoon walking down Broadway and a local guy recommended this spot as a rooftop bar that had good food. When you come in there is a dark-ish bar with a band playing. Head to the elevator to get to the rooftop, it's in the back right corner. The rooftop is huge and does have an indoor section as well. Our server was excellent and she put up the umbrella and angled it for us so I could stay on the patio (I have really fair skin and was getting cooked in the afternoon sun). We had a great view of the whole street and the river. But most importantly, our food was great. I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the coleslaw was excellent. Husband had Philly Cheesesteak with fries. Both were great and my old fashioned was good too. One of the best (and least expensive!) drinks I had on my trip. read more

My friends and I came here for some drinks. Casual atmosphere. We went to the rooftop and enjoyed the view. They offer cocktails, beer, seltzer. I asked about wine, but the selections were limited. Prices were average. The food menu looked good. They also have brunch. Service was friendly and the bathrooms were clean. read more

Whiskey River Saloon is, in my opinion, the perfect Nashville bar. If you are looking for a spot to grab a drink and listen to live music then this is it. Not only do they have several bars and several levels, they have different types of music as well (which is nice to get a break from country 24/7). We were there for about an hour and started with a country band (downstairs), they switched to an 80's hair band, and then we went to the rooftop to listen to rap. All were great! The bartenders were nice and attentive and they have a good selection of drinks. Additionally, they have a dedicated "whiskey & bourbon" bar where you can find a really wide selection of both (however, the prices are HIGH!). Of all the spots we spent some time and money at in Nashville, WRS was my favorite. read more

We were looking for a palace with great service, a live band and a cool atmosphere. We found it here. We walked and the lightning decor was super cool with tons of seating. The bartender was quick to take care of us and 10-12 other patrons without skipping a beat. We did not have a chance to get food. They had two fantastic bands back to back that killed it. This was a wonderful place we will visit again. read more

Loved Nashville and everywhere we visited. Service was amazing and the music outstanding.

Ambiance is incredible. The band here on a Saturday afternoon is as good as any. Drinks are all $15 and some are worth it. One of us had the whiskey mule and said it was great. I had the peach tea with moonshine - nothing special. We didn't come in to eat, but there's chicken and fries galore if you're hungry for bar food. Definitely come for the live music and dancing! Put your paid song request in and hang for a while to experience the Broadway vibe at its best. The service is cheerful and quick so you can get in and out if you prefer. Food and beverage is basic though, and not a requirement for a good rocking time. Right? read more

Great food. Service on Thursday was great. Saturday service, not so much. Waited 20 min, finally got up to get menu ourselves. Then another 10 to get waters. They need to step up their weekend service. read more

First time here- won't be the last. Sat upstairs so we could have access to the full menu. Service was very nice. There is inside and outside seating upstairs. We were slightly overheated so stayed inside. Still was an excellent view. Food was very good. The Mrs had ordered the Nachos as an appetizer but she ate so much of it that it became the meal. Our company on the broadway walk of shame had the Nashville chicken- high marked, and the burger which I am told was rather tasty. I had the grilled cheese with a side of the Nashville Mac N'Cheese. Both very good. There must have been a half a pound of cheese in the sandwich. All in all, a very good experience read more

This was a Saturday night, out on the town. The eatery was dead, but was early in the evening (7:30 pm). I opted for the Cheese burger with onion rings, and it was piping hot. The we fe had the Nashville Whiskey burger and it was also tasty. The waitress was very friendly and kept a watchful eye on us, checking for our needs. The drinks were good as well, and I had the Cadillac Margarita. The wife had the Mai Tie me up. The atmosphere was a bar atmosphere, with football on and just loud enough to hear the game but still hold a conversation. Overall a nice place to eat and enjoy the game. read more

We went here last night and really enjoyed the vibe. We were up on the rooftop, so it wasn't too loud and you could actually have a conversation. I will say that the whiskey sauce on the grilled cheese and chicken sandwich was one of the best combinations I have ever had. We even got them to put the CMA's on the TV so we could watch while we were eating and the manager took some time talking with us. The bartender was very attentive. A great stop for us on the Honky Tonk Highway. read more
