12 Great Nashville Bars With Live Music - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Here’s an easy and fool-proof recipe for a night out in Germantown: Start with drinks at Le Loup, head downstairs for a seafood-forward dinner at The Optimist, and then shut down the night at the neighboring Star Rover Sound, a live music hall that serves a bunch of different steaks and soft serve. It feels like a honky-tonk, but with strong Texas Roadhouse energy, and you can actually have a conversation without screaming while you watch local acts perform every Thursday through Saturday night. Grab one of the seats on the long red banquette and a margarita from the neon-lit bar, and enjoy the jazz, bluegrass, country, and Americana." - bailey freeman, jackie gutierrez jones 2
