About Us

The Stage on Broadway with bright neon signage at night.

Walk through the doors at 412 Broadway and the music hits you before you even find a seat. That's the thing about The Stage on Broadway: the sound is dialed in. Bands fill the room without blowing out your eardrums, and every act that takes the floor brings the kind of energy that makes you forget you had plans for the evening.

This is one of downtown Nashville's most beloved honky tonks, earning a 4.5-star rating across more than 3,000 reviews from visitors who keep coming back. The second-story views of Lower Broadway are something regulars brag about, and first-timers almost always stop mid-drink to take it in. Cold beers run a fair $7, the bartenders know their craft, and the crowd is the mix that makes Nashville tick: locals, tourists, bachelorette parties, and country music lifers, all sharing the same floor.

Open every day of the week from 10 in the morning until 2:30 the next, The Stage doesn't do off days. Whether it's a Tuesday afternoon or a Saturday night, there's a live band on that stage and a reason to stay for one more song.

What We Offer

The Stage on Broadway runs live music seven days a week, all day and deep into the night. The lineup rotates through some of Nashville's hardest-working bands, covering classic country, outlaw anthems, and the kind of boot-stomping originals that remind you why people move to this city in the first place.

Beyond the music, the bar keeps things simple and satisfying. Cold domestic and craft beers, spirits, and cocktails are served by a crew of bartenders who know how to keep a packed house moving. The venue also works as a private event space, making it a go-to for groups who want a real Broadway experience without a cookie-cutter party package.

The layout gives you options. Post up at the bar for a front-row conversation with the staff, grab a spot near the stage to feel every note, or drift toward the windows for that Broadway street view that reviewers can't stop mentioning. No cover, no attitude, just live music done right.

"The Stage on Broadway was easily our favourite spot to visit while in Nashville. Everything about this place hit the mark. The music was fantastic, with great bands every time we stopped in, and the atmosphere was exactly what you hope for on Broadway. It has that perfect lively energy without feeling overwhelming. The drinks were reasonably priced, which was a nice bonus, especially in such a popular area. What really stood out was the service. No matter how busy the place was, the staff were always attentive, friendly, and quick. We found ourselves coming back more than once and would absolutely make this a must-visit again on our next trip."

"One of the few Honky Tonks I'd never been to. Really cool vibe. My beer was $7 and that's not bad for this town. Great bartenders. The view of Broadway is amazing, not the tallest but the most impressive view of all the bars. I'm coming back and highly recommend."

"The Stage on Broadway has one of the best live music setups downtown. The band was incredible and the sound filled the whole room without being overwhelming. I grabbed a drink and found a spot near the back where you can still see everything. The crowd was mixed with locals and tourists and everyone was having a good time. A great stop if you want real talent and a classic Nashville bar feel."

"We stumbled upon The Stage in Broadway and was an amazing experience. The drinks were plentiful at a reasonable price. We were able to grab a table right next to the stage and the band Jered Ames was an amazing talent. Very entertaining and going places in country music. Then something happened, Craig Campbell and his amazing daughter Preslee Campbell came and sat with us at our table before taking the stage. Both did very well and it was amazing to see someone that's played at the Ryman perform at The Stage in Broadway again. Both were very nice and it was our pleasure to meet them both. The next band was NCB and they did very upbeat music and put in a great show! A truly magical last night in Nashville for all of us. I highly recommend this place! Thank you."
