Nashville's iconic entertainment strip overflowing with country music and nightlife

Broadway
Directions

Lower Broadway serves as the vibrant pulse of Music City, famous for its glowing neon signs and multi-story honky-tonks. Visitors can stroll past legendary bars and dining venues where live country music streams out into the street from morning until late at night. The bustling thoroughfare also sits within walking distance of major attractions like the Ryman Auditorium, Bridgestone Arena, and Fifth + Broadway.
