The Avenues

Live Music is not just restricted to Broadway. Up and down the area from 1st Avenue to 5th Avenue, bars can be found to the North and South.
We have restricted the North Boundary to Commerce Street and the South Boundary is set at Korean's Veteran Parkway.

Keep in mind, that there are age restrictions on many of the bars around the city. I found a great article by Nashville Guru that addresses this issue. MORE INFO

    2nd Avenue

    2nd Avenue North

    These bars can found between Broadway and Commerce. Due to the bombing on Christmas Day 2020, some locations may be closed due to the extensive damage. Always check with the venue before traveling long distances. I know there are many, many more that are further north that could be included, but had to have a cut-off somewhere.
