Bobby’s Idle Hour, Music Row’s Iconic Watering Hole, Pours Last Beer This Week | Eater Nashville

"Occupying its second location on the same block at 1028 16th Ave. S., Bobby’s Idle Hour Tavern has welcomed countless songwriters to Nashville’s Music Row since before it was even called Music Row; truly one of the last pieces of 'old Nashville,' it's the final venue left for live original music on Music Row, with entertainment seven nights a week and most afternoons. The tavern announced on Facebook that its final hour is Saturday, January 12, after the building was set to be demolished in mid-2018, though the post hinted “we’ll be resurfacing as soon as we can in a new location.” I hope some semblance of the bar’s rich history—especially the stage, the signs, and the dollar bills—can be preserved if and when it reopens, because it seems Music Row’s charm will be diminished come January 12." - Delia Jo Ramsey
