16 Best Places for Live Music in Nashville | Condé Nast Traveler
"Known as 'the Beast' locally, the Basement East is the much larger sister venue to longstanding rock venue the Basement. But with capacity for 575, it's still a place to see acts like Yo La Tengo or Lee Ann Womack up close. Surprise appearances by musicians like Alice Cooper aren't out of the question, either. Compilation tribute concerts and secret shows pop up regularly. The popular Chivanada food truck sells empanadas during shows." - Kristin Luna,Margaret Littman
