16 Best Places for Live Music in Nashville | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Germantown outpost of this New York venue harmoniously offers bowling and concerts in the same space. First-rate sound equipment makes it possible to watch and hear the show up close to the stage, from above in the balcony or on a screen as you bowl a strike. The vibe is modern and universal, as you’d expect from a New York transplant, and offers a bar and bowling lanes on each level. Unlike the Eastside Bowl, where there is bowling in the same building, but is not actually visible from the music venue, at Brooklyn Bowl the lanes and the venue are together. You can see the concert on screens over the bowling alley. If you are at the show, you can occasionally hear some pins drop, but thanks to good acoustics, the noise isn’t really a distraction. Wander as you like throughout the space, your tab at the bar will move with you to any one of the bars." - Kristin Luna,Margaret Littman

Brooklyn Bowl Nashville — Music Venue Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Big picture: What’s the vibe of the place, what’s it like? As its name suggests, this is the Nashville outpost of the popular New York music venue.

Unlike the Eastside Bowl, where there is bowling in the same building, but is not actually visible from the music venue, at Brooklyn Bowl the lanes and the venue are together. You can see the concert on screens over the bowling alley. If you are at the show, you can occasionally hear some pins drop, but thanks to good acoustics, the noise isn’t really a distraction. What kinds of events can we see here? The focus is on live music shows—some up-and-comers and some folks with loyal followings. The lineup is heavy on rock, but you’ll also catch some country and Americana in there, plus the occasional benefit show. How are the seats? Brooklyn Bowl Nashville is standing-room only on the first floor. The balcony level offers seating, and, yes, there’s a bar on each level.

13 of Nashville’s Most Entertaining Bars for Live Music

"Part bowling alley, part music venue, and part eatery, Brooklyn Bowl draws fans for ticketed shows in the Germantown neighborhood. Have a fried chicken platter and a boozy milkshake at one of the lanes, or pile in close to the stage to see your favorite rising star. The venue, which requires tickets for shows, welcomes a mix of artists from rock stars to folk singers and country music darlings." - Kellie Walton

Brooklyn Bowl Nashville - Review - Downtown - Nashville - The Infatuation

"While Brooklyn Bowl is definitely somewhere you can see live music, we like coming here best with a group of competitive friends looking to perfect their granny roll with a side of boozy milkshakes and really good fried chicken. You’ve got 19 lanes to choose from (they’re first come, first serve), all set in a funky laser-lit space." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

My BFF and I went to see Psychedelic Furs show. We had a fast pass and had no waiting in line. It was a smooth entry into the venue. We were greeted by a hostess when we entered the building and she directed us to the venue area. We had no problem getting a drink/cocktail. Service is credited card only. The show was General admission on the floor area. We had no problem watching the band from our view which was approximately halfway to the stage area. The sound system sounded great to us. The restrooms are easily accessible on the main floor area. The clientele was joyful and courteous and we had a great time. The venue itself was clean and felt very safe. We would highly recommend Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.

Amazing venue. Mostly great staff (one very indifferent beertender didn't seem to want to be there). Killer sound. Decent food. You can bowl while attending a concert and head out to the patio to watch some of the Sounds game next door. Here's the Breakdown: Great sounds worth good food in a killer venue with really good service (Jake on the Patio Bar) +5 stars. I'm planning to go back already.

This is definitely not the newest venue in town, but it’s VERY nice, clean, and has great atmosphere. It even has a bowling alley built in if you wanna bowl a few frames before or after a show. Heck, even DURING a show for that matter. I love the location and parking is a breeze.

Great venue. Went to see Psychedelic Furs. Richard Butler was great! Richard Fortus, guitar and Zach Alford were standouts too! Show was very polished. Chameleons opened....they were okay until they just had to play their protest song about Trump. Guys, really? Can we get a break from it already? I mean we get enough with our media...but to have guests from the UK going on about it too? My family and I didn't bring up politics when we were in Scotland recently... please. Anyway, Brooklyn Bowl and Psychedelic Furs were awesome. Chameleons... forgettable.

What a cool venue! The concert was a great time and the restrooms were clean, bar service was quick. Great experience and cool seeing the bowling alley right next to the stage.

Went here for a Livingston concert with my daughter. The workers were absolutely amazing, and we got to sit off to the side that was described off, due to me using a mobility scooter. They were super accommodating! Didn't know they also had a bowling alley till I was looking up how to get there.

Went yesterday, we were the only people in the bowling area for at least our first hour. Well, terrible waitress, must say she was kind but without meaning to insult her, she didn’t have the mental capacity to take the order of just two people. When ordering the drinks I literally mentioned I didn’t want anything with alcohol. And she replied: absolutely, we can do that. So we said, good, we are going to order everything without alcohol, we’ll take a redbull, a liquid death water and a lemonade, please, just without alcohol. She replied got you guys, you have all this special drinks. Well, I keep playing, and after 10 minutes of the lemonade just being there in the table I was so thirsty plus the lemonade didn’t have a straw, so suddenly I took a big sip and VOILA, just vodka. Thank you, today I drunk alcohol again after 10 years of being sober. Manager was good, he understood my concern and at the end, he took the charges off for playing two hours and for our beverages (we just had to pay for our food). But yeah, here’s a video that we were literally the only people there for a while. And for real, we said like four times everything without alcohol and she replied all those times yes, absolutely. Please, if you can’t retain that information there is nothing bad on mantaining a notebook and a pen so you can remember.

Saw Neon Trees here March 28, 2025. Show was at 8 pm (opener started right on time), with headliners on by ~9:10 or so. We made a dinner reservation for the restaurant at 6:15, but this probably wasn't necessary (there was only one other table seated when we arrived). Entry was easy, they check IDs at the door and give you a wristband. Service in the restaurant was great, food was solid (items maybe could have been a bit hotter coming out, but everything tasted good). Bar service in the actual performance venue was efficient, and the bar is literally right off the floor; there are also bathrooms located right there as well, which is great. Show was awesome - sound quality was outstanding, lighting was modern and cool, and we easily maintained a comfortable position, stage left and just a person or two deep, all evening. Everything was shiny and modern and clean, felt totally comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Also, appreciated the availability of gender-neutral/all-gender bathrooms (along with traditional men's/women's).

Hands-down, the best music venue I have been to in Nashville. I have been to two shows here over the past two weeks - with my 13-year-old daughter - at this venue, and both nights were truly unforgettable! The venue itself is delightful - very well thought out, with VIP areas lining the balconies, and bowling lanes just off the main stage area. The view from both of these areas is fantastic, and the sound is even better. The bars, bathrooms, and even outdoor smoking area are all easily accessible - and if you need food, they have a pretty decent bar menu which has you covered. If you thought the sounds of bowling would get in the way of the music - you would be mistaken. What really sets this place apart however- is the staff... I was fortunate enough to meet both Lori and Mikey upon entry on night one - and they went above and beyond to help us have the best experience possible. Mother Mother is my daughters, absolute favorite band - and upon arrival, they helped us secure a VIP balcony spot and both checked up on us through the night to make sure we were having a great time. Being able to watch this show from that vantage point was something else, and my daughter was over the moon. Night 2 at the Brooklyn bowl, was to see MisterWives. We decided to try one of the bowling spots, and it did not disappoint. Lori made sure we were in a spot with another family, and their daughter and mine hit it off - not only did everyone get to enjoy bowling, we also had plenty of space to watch the band from that area - and great table service to boot! As a parent - I felt like this is the only way to see live music! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to give their children the live music experience, in a safe and fun space.

Brooklyn Bowl is both a bowling alley and a live music venue which has two levels. On entry you have to go through the theatrics of a "security" screening with a metal detector before proceeding to your event and/or bowling. During my visit the band performed on the second level which I would guess is the usual as I didn't see anywhere downstairs that could host a performance. You can bowl during performances here which, unless the band isn't that good, I don't understand the logic behind that choice. The last several times I've been in this area performances have been happening at Brooklyn Bowl and they all seemed well attended with crowds of folks streaming either in or out to this venue. This business is also located next to the First Tennessee Park baseball stadium so you can look out and get a nice view of the field from this venue as well. This area of Germantown has changed a lot over the years and it looks like it will keep developing so there are quite a number of other businesses in this area to occupy your time before and after any visit to Brooklyn Bowl. Overall this seems like cool spot to catch live music in a great area of Nashville!

I paid extra money to get seating because l'm a disabled veteran with a bad back and my friend just had surgery and couldn't stand for long periods of time. I also picked the seating closest to the stage when paying for the tickets. We showed up when the concert started and our seats were taken. The guard at the seating area told us that there wasn't anything she could do. The other side of seating was completely empty and available. After informing her that we paid extra for seating and that I'm disabled and needed to sit down, they brought us one single stool put us in a roped off section at the very back of the venue. It made me feel like I I was being shunted away from the other people attending the concert because of my injuries from my time in the navy. We couldn't see the artist very well. The person doing this also made it seem like it was a massive burden to have to deal with people wanting the seats they paid for?? This was not okay and not the correct way to accommodate for ADA seating. Our seats were paid for and should have been reserved for those who paid or at least let us sit on the other side that was completely open and available. The stool was so uncomfortable wound up sitting on the ledge of a window the whole night. The venue lighting was cool and the artist was amazing, which is the only reason I'm giving two stars. I'm really not impressed with how they handled the situation and I probably won't ever recommend this venue to anyone. Very disappointing to know that if you pay extra money for seating, they'll just give your seats away or they over booked the section?

If you want to see a show it's a good venue. Don't bother paying for box seats. Apparently it's on the honor system so we were stuck behind a bunch of people that bought general admission tickets. Pretty annoying to pay extra for seats that they let anyone take.

Over the past few months, I've had the opportunity to see two great shows at Brooklyn Bowl, Two Door Cinema Club and Bombay Bicycle Club. Brooklyn Bowl is such a unique venue for concerts, providing an intimate experience with the artists (capacity of 1200) while also offering bowling! That's right, as its name suggests, Brooklyn Bowl allows patrons to book 19 different bowling lanes during shows! I've never heard of any concert venue that let's you bowl while experiencing live music and, although you'd think that the bowling may disrupt the concert with loud noises, it rarely did (and the rare times it did, the artists just made a joke about it). Brooklyn Bowl has both a lower level and upper level to watch the show at. I stood towards the back of the lower level and still had a perfect view. A bar is located adjacent to the floor. The staff is friendly and courteous. There are a few restrooms available and I've never had to wait. Parking, however, is a little tricky. I simply booked out lots close by, which ended up being the most convenient for me so that I could avoid having to come early to find street parking. Of note, I did not order any food, so this review does not encompass the dining experience. Overall, two nights I'll never forget! Excited to come back!

We purchased club box tickets for a show here. We sat in what we thought was club level but staff came by and kicked us out of where we were sitting. They told us we had to go to a different section so we did. There was no regulation of where we were sitting and the majority of people didn't even have the wristbands for the club seating. No staff were monitoring who was in what area and so many people were standing in front of us so we couldn't even see the band playing when we were in the club box area. Do better! I won't waste my money on club box level again.

This is a cool spot in Germantown. I love the concept of a bowling alley that doubles as a live music venue. We were lucky to pick up some tickets to Saint Motel a couple months in advance, as this ended up being a sold out show! We parked a little ways down the street, which was still expensive for a weeknight evening, but that's Nashville for you. The check-in/security line moved quickly, and we were inside in a matter of minutes. The venue itself is clean and vibey, not to mention a bit more elevated than some of the other divey spots you might catch a show around town. The bar is large with several options - although were surprised to learn that a draft pour of craft beer is the same price as a can of Busch Light. We didn't get a chance to check out the food this time around, although I feel like that menu is more geared toward the bowling alley/lounge side of the space. We loved the show - the sound, the lights, and the performance were awesome! Saint Motel did a nice job of using the stage and the upper level, along with engaging the audience. We also enjoyed the opener, Steinza, who's a Nashville transplant. We'll definitely return for another show at Brooklyn Bowl soon! I also look forward to checking out their regular bowling hours outside of a concert.

Caught a concert here on 4/19/24 and it ended up being quite the spot. Food, drinks, baseball, fireworks, music and oh yeah, bowling. Decided to eat at the venue before the show and we really enjoyed the offerings. We had the Wedge, Buffalo Cauliflower, BLT with Fries and Blackened Salmon with Collards. The Salmon stole the show. Perfectly cooked and the collards were on point. Drinks were reasonable and the we discovered upstairs you can catch a Sounds game from their outside deck. They won so we got the bonus of a fireworks show that was high quality and over 10 minutes long. Then on the the show which was presented in a great concert hall setting with great acoustics and amenities. We really enjoyed our time here and hopefully will be back soon. Oh, one more thing. You can bowl here as well.

Brooklyn bowl is one of the best concert venues I have been to. It's intimate and creative. The sound quality is also very good from all points of the venue. They are very timely and the entry process is smooth. This occasion I was there for NashFeels so I'm not sure if the bowling price was due to that or if it's the normal price. It's nice to have a spot to go back to during the night.

Went to Brooklyn Bowl for my first concert. Loved how intimate the atmosphere was. It was a cool set up, making it feel like there wasn't a bad place in the house to stand. The part that was coolest to me was that you could reserve bowling lanes to bowl and watch the show - how unique. While I wasn't drinking, my only complaint is the bar. There were only 2 servers, which didn't seem like enough for the downstairs crowd. It took over 20 minutes just to get a water. Overall, great experience.

Im not sure what I was expecting during visit but I was pleasantly surprised. I love the layout of this space. While we bowlees upstairs, we could also hear the music and line dancing going on downstairs. Food was pretty good for a bowling alley. The pepperoni flatbread was good. You get an enormous helping of fries for it to be a side order. The Buddha bowl is a top fav. Really great space for team outing. We ended the night on the outdoor patio with the dj.

I used to love going to the Brooklyn bowl! It was seriously the BEST venue in Nashville. But now since live nation took over and wants to make money on stupid stuff, they took away fans standing on the first row of the balcony. This change just happened and I talked to so many others who are also very disappointed about this change. They now charge you an extra $100- $500 to stand there. When I tell you that is the only reason I used to go there, I'm not joking. Will not be going to concerts there as much because of this change. Do better Brooklyn bowl.

I attended the Optometry Student Bowl here, and this venue is awesome! There are bowling lanes and bars on the first and second levels, and some fun decor like disco balls and down the clown cats on the walls when you first come in, giving it a very fun vibe.

Came here for the Taylor Swift night and just say....A time was had. Didn't get to bowl, but the ambiance, music and drinks were spot on. Of course, it was all Taylor Swift music, which was expected. The bartenders were a little slow. It seemed like everybody was having to use the same bar to be serviced, which made wait times a bit longer to get a drink. I would love to go back and experience bowling here.

At first was impressed until there was a lack of help and we were overcharged - party of 4 charged for the party of 10 next to us. Poor attitude overall and will look for alternate options moving forward. Parking alone is close to $30..00. It suddenly became our fault for being overcharged. What a joke.

Great venue for concerts! Love watching from the balcony it's a great view for if you don't want to be in the crowded pit. We actually ate here before and food was pretty good! I had the Mac and cheese and it was clearly recooked from a previous day but it was still pretty tasty.

Reviewing this venue only for the event space/bar. I came here for a Taylor Swift themed night when Speak Now TV was released. We arrived when doors opened to get the lay of the land before everyone showed up. We first visited the photo booth on the second floor and grabbed some cute pictures. Then got a drink at the upstairs bar and wandered around. We started on the floor when the event itself started but ended up going upstairs and found a great spot we stayed at for the rest of the night. The event itself was great and I really liked this venue. I would definitely return in the future!

Came here to hear Hunter Hayes as part of The Red Sky Tour Continued. Odd that it's in a bowling alley where the bowling is still going on, and the venue was small but good, standing room with a second tier (not sure if everyone was allowed to go upstairs or special tickets were required). Sound was fine, stage changes took a long time though in between sets. Pretty easy to find free parking on the street nearby as well. Had a good time, although Hunter Hayes wasn't very good as a performer.

Beautiful venue---and a great place to see a show. Recommend. The challenges: cryptic descriptions of the seating options and zero clarity on what's included and what's not. We tried calling ahead of time to achieve clarity---and it was just as cryptic. Be sure you understand what is included and what is not in the package offerings. It is far from outlined on the site.

Absolutely love this venue for concerts!!! I've been to two shows here so far (Jon Pardi & Paul Cauthen), both were stellar experiences. Quick security check getting in and then short little walk down the hall into the venue area. Top three reasons to see a show here: 1. Super close to the stage (more exclusive show feeling) 2. CHEAP drinks!!!! Huge win 3. Brand new venue, close to downtown, with great sound and inexpensive tickets (so far that I've noticed; $30-$50 each after fees and you're basically in "pit" section being so close with the small venue). One of my favorites in Nashville by a landslide. -Avid concert goer

My earlier review of BB as a concert venue (below) stands as is--Brooklyn Bowl is a fantastic place to see a live show. I'd say in terms of sound quality (though mileage will vary depending on the act and who does their boards, but venue acoustics are tight), cleanliness, ease of access, quality of staff, etc. that this is one of the top 2-3 venues in Nashville right now. I've seen several shows here now and each has been a great experience. I'd never eaten before, however, until last night. Doors were at 6 pm for an 8 pm show and I needed dinner when I got inside. I sat at the bar and ordered a blackened salmon entree. Menu said (I thought) that it came with fries which I was looking forward to but when plated it came with greens and bacon as well as mashed potatoes. That worked out--healthier I suppose and those greens were the 2nd best greens I've eaten in Nashville to date...seriously (number 1 being Loveless Cafe). The mashed potatoes were...fine. Not bad, nothing to brag about. The salmon was pretty great, though. A bit on the salty side but perfectly cooked with a great aioli on top. Other reviews have complained about the quality of food here so I was nervous but based on what I had, it was well worth the price and beat standing around for an extra hour waiting on the show to start. Drinks are fairly priced, bartenders and staff are friendly. You can open a tab for dinner and keep it open in the main room for bar drinks. Also--I was worried based on some other reviews that I might be rushed for time due to my food taking forever to be served. This may be unique to the concert I attended in that not a lot of people stopped in the restaurant, but I was able to order, be served, and eat in 30 minutes. So, BB is a great place to see live music at a fair price as well as to eat and drink in the process. My only complaint at all about BB isn't the venues fault--it's parking. The venue has no parking, so you rely on street parking and paid lots. Totally fine. However, the paid lot across the street (managed by "Metropolitan Parking") was $12 for the full night when I first saw a show here two years ago, $25 a few months ago, and $40 FREAKING DOLLARS last night for "12 hours" (though I only needed 6...they only allow you to purchase in 12 hour increments). Outrageous extortion that effectively doubles the cost of the concert experience here. No other lot in the city that I've run across charges that high of a rate.

Fantastic concert venue. City Parking lot right across the street. We were waiting outside and it was cold so they were nice enough to let us in a bit early. My friends and I sat upstairs and it was less crowded and nice that there was a bar and restrooms there. I don't drink alcohol so the bartender made me a really yummy mocktail. Super cool venue and sounded great even though we were next to a speaker. Very loud though, glad they had hearing protection for sale in a gumball machine near the entrance, they definitely came in handy for this old lady!! We did not eat here so I can't comment on the food but I will definitely be keeping an eye on the concert schedule so I can go back to this fantastic venue!

If you have the chance to see a rock show here do it! It feels very much like a guitar hero level location. AMAZING! We saw Royal Blood here, and it was such an amazing and intimate rock show. The sound will radiate your body into a new dimension and bring you closer to the artist. It's the perfect size, and even at a sold out show it was comfortable. I would suggest getting there a little bit earlier to get a better spot. They also have a second story you can watch from. But I would suggest being on the bottom floor because in this venue, the artists love to come and sing in the crowd. The bathrooms are also clean and well maintained. I would suggest getting there early to also get parking. You can find free parking on the streets if you know where to look.

Visited this venue for a concert where I really only liked the opener. The easy to access floor was great for seeing the band and then the large screens and second bar and sitting area were great for listening to the bands I didn't care to see. Only downside is bathrooms and bar and merch are all in the corner and it's super congested back there.

My husband and I have been seeing live music in Nashville for years. We visited Brooklyn Bowl Nashville tonight for the Saint Motel show and were astounded by the quality of service and attention to detail. One thing that stood out to us at the end of the night was the girl replacing the marquee. As someone who has been to multiple venues in Nashville, it's refreshing to see someone so young care about the work they're doing. The final product proved that!!! She chatted with guests as they left while still valuing the task at hand. We left before we could catch her name, but that marquee was stunning!!!

This place is really groovy and fun! I went for a concert last night and the vibes were good. The bartenders were nice and I enjoyed the disco balls they have above the stage. I didn't try the food, but the sound was not as clear since I was on the upper level. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd def. Come back to bowl or hang out again.

My wife, children, and I rented a lane for the Adolescents, Circle Jerks, Descendents show. The staff was attentive and quick the entire evening. The view of the band on the first floor was fantastic! Punk's not dead!

An amazing concert venue! Drinks were great. The location was spacious yet intimate. Such a vibe!!! I can't wait for another concert here. Plus they do have actual bowling lanes here...

Super great atmosphere. Love the option to bowl and be able to see some of the show or a baseball game! I didn't realize the time for bowling starts right after you purchase instead of when you actually begin bowling. But that's my only issue. Other than that, food was good!

This is a much belated review of the Brooklyn Bowl. I need to convey how absolutely terrific my experience with this venue was. My wife and I came from Florida to Nashville to see my all time favorite band from Japan, BAND-MAID. 5 extraordinary, talented lady musicians on their 10-year anniversary tour. We decided to check the venue out a few days ahead of the concert. The staff on hand that day were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. From the security folks to the ticket concert organizers to the floor manager, Noah, and the restaurant staff. Everyone took time from their tasks to show us the venue, answer questions, and they seemed interested in the band as well. We ate there and had a wonderful evening. On the day of the concert, I witnessed staff make special accommodations for one person in line who has autism and couldn't wear arm bracelets. I watched them bring out water to a lady in line who was suffering from a reaction to her medication in the heat. The concert line and promotional items were handled very efficiently. Noah gave my wife and I extra special treatment for which I will be forever grateful. I felt like a VIP watching my favorite band that night. I will never forget the awesome experience and treatment! It was also wonderful that they let the members of BAND-MAID roll some bowling balls during their intermission. The ladies of the band commented about this as a special moment on their US tour. How cool is that? Good food. Strong drinks (I'm not usually one to drink, but the mood was right and the drinks were good!) Brooklyn Bowl has special people working there. A unique atmosphere with bowling and a balcony overlooking a minor league baseball park. I give them 5-stars and my thanks.

Review for concert experience (vs restaurant) Wifey and I were so impressed with Brooklyn Bowl on their opening night concert - Old Crow Medicine show - with many special guests. The vibe inside is amazing - the lighting, stained glass windows, not a bad area in the house to see your favorite venue. Around the stage there are large bars on the main floor and also the upper floor. The upper has a bit of seating that is mostly reserved for special guests and family of the band, a few paid boxes, and some ADA seating. They do offer stools to sit on for ADA on main floor if you ask - they will put a seat on the edges for the person requiring (not the entire party). The sound was clear and the acoustics are very clean. Views are great from all angles. They have a full bar - see photo for prices. Special shout out to the employees - Manager Nick was super helpful when assisting us prior to concert starting (we were first in line). We also had multiple conversations with wait staff who introduced themselves to us and seemed real happy to be there. This is an easy 5star - see my tip on parking which is tight in area.

This place is awesome. I really was not expecting much at all. I mean a concert venue...in a bowling alley?! I was so impressed. The sound was amazing and there was not a bad "seat" in the house. The lower level is standing room only but the upper level has seats lining the balcony. The upper and lower level also have a bowling alley, those on the upper level can catch a view of the concert while bowling. The restaurant was pretty decent as well. It was a cold day and we had VIP for The Darkness, so instead of leaving we stayed to grab a bite. The black bean burger was pretty good, but skip a side of the pickled cucumbers as they give you a good amount for the burger itself. The Rock n' roll fries were pretty decent. They were kinda like poutine but it wasn't authentic poutine, and it didn't claim to be. Definitely worth a try though. We will 100% be back.

This was an interesting music venue. I have been to Rock N Bowl places like in New Orleans... this was certainly similar. Small intimate venue for bigger bands and attached to the minor league baseball park next door. It's a very new facility in an up and coming community outside of Broadway in downtown Nashville. The service is a bit slow and lacking. The food was delicious and the show was killer. It's worth seeing a show here and enjoying a different Nashville experience.

I went here for a concert (Our Last Night/Fame on Fire/Rain City Drive) the other night and the staff was phenomenal. Everything from the bartender to the security to the tech crews. I've been to a lot of concerts and honestly this was one of the best. The staff kept the crowd safe and hydrated, passing out water often between acts to make sure everyone was good. The stage itself had a relatively small to medium space but had plenty of lights, speakers, etc. sound quality was pretty good all things considered. I can't speak for the food or bowling aspects of this business, but if what I saw from the concert side is any indication they deserve their 5 stars and then some.

If you haven't talked to the staff members here... you should. Every single person I talked to was pleasant AND passionate. I specifically had incredible interactions with Sage (security) and Kendall (sound). Thank y'all for creating a space that concert attenders, creatives, and locals all want to be at.

Absolutely awesome small concert venue. While the bowling lanes off to the side are a little abnormal it sets up a unique ambiance for the show. With two levels being the main floor and a balcony there is not a bad spot in the entire building to watch a concert. The acoustics and tech they have are top notch and make for a great listening experience.

The views are amazing, and they are taking social distancing and Covid very seriously. I tried the chicken and truffle tots. The chicken tenders were very well seasoned, but the tots didn't have any real truffle flavoring. Our waitress was great. However, about an hour before they were set to close we were approached and told they decided to close early tonight so we needed to leave. We packed up the rest of our food in to go boxes and quickly finished the drinks we were sipping on. Where I understand the reason being that they were busy on that particularly night, it would have been nice to not feel rushed out of a place when we were still within their normal business hours.

So I came here for a concert- the Taylor Swift album release party and it was a blast! What a cool small venue! The sound quality was great and the drinks were decent as well. I would love to come back and actually go bowling sometime.

Went to see The Steel Woods who rocked. Great venue, decent food and awesome bartenders. Love that the bowling alleys were next to the stage.... Fun times.

Sucks that the best sounding concert venue in nashville has the worst service. Been living here for 12 years and don't think I've ever been spoken to the way that these bartenders spoke to me and multiple people around me. So word of advice, pregame somewhere else, so your night doesn't get ruined like me. Lol

Brooklyn Bowl Nashville is a fantastic venue. I'm fairly cynical about music industry and live music venues in general. That's cause I'm a music fan and not a business owner. Most places I see music in suffer from having bad acoustics, poor in-house speakers & mix, abysmal bathrooms, weird rules, etc. None of this is true with BB Nashville. The venue has invested money into itself. It's clean, with good decor & actually designed well. There was ample room for people to see music from multiple angles. Plenty of bars. Plenty of restrooms. Waitstaff at the bowling lanes. Upstairs outdoor patios for the smokers. The bowling alleys actually coexisted well with the music and provided good pre show activity. Staff were excellent. See, it's possible for a venue to make a venue with music fans interests in mind and be profitable. Instead of making me feel like human cattle being fleeced at every moment, I felt as if I was getting more than I paid for. I actually enjoyed being at the venue a couple of hours early. I felt like the venue was designed by someone who loves music. Which is not my typical experience at music venues. Great job, BB Nashville!

Our party of five made reservations and ate here before a show and the service was great! Nice place, clean, comfy booth, quick on refills, and we had plenty of condiments, napkins, etc. We all shared an order of fried pickles with cajun ranch as a starter and they were hot, crispy, and delicious. My husband enjoyed his bacon cheeseburger with skinny fries, and the rest of us ate SO much yummy chicken! I had the chick-n-tots and the portions were huge! I highly recommend the ranch and honey mustard for dipping. Overall great experience and we'll definitely be back.
