Southern staples, live music, mechanical bull, rooftop views

























"If bone-in Nashville hot chicken and Broadway are on the to-do list, you can enjoy both while also cheering on your favorite team at this sizeable 55,000-square-foot venue. In addition to bowling, mechanical bulls, and several stages for live entertainment, Nashville Underground, a four-story bar and restaurant downtown, offers NFL Sunday Ticket and plays featured games on the massive LED floor screen that otherwise acts as a dance floor." - Delia Jo Ramsey, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"I noted that Nashville Underground was cited over the weekend for being out of compliance with coronavirus-related public health orders; the citation requires a court appearance and could lead to fines or temporary closure for continued noncompliance, and Metro officials emphasized Phase Two guidance restricting eating at bars and on dance floors." - Delia Jo Ramsey

"Add some Nashville hot chicken to Mama Lynne’s truffle mac and cheese at the original destination for hot chicken on Lower Broadway." - Kristy Lucero, Delia Jo Ramsey

"During every Titans game (both home and away), ESPN Nashville’s 102.5 The Game broadcasts live from Nashville Underground. The pre-game show begins two hours before kickoff and features co-host Jared Stillman, former Titans GM Floyd Reese, and former Titans wide receiver Chris Sanders. Nashville Underground opens at 9 a.m. on Sundays and is a rare find on Lower Broadway for good food." - Delia Jo Ramsey


"Co-owned by brothers Joey and Gavin DeGraw, Nashville Underground opened in December 2017 as a live music venue and event space with multiple bars and two separate menus across its various floors. It sits on Broadway between 1st and 2nd Ave, right next to Acme Feed & Seed, and features a mechanical bull to ride on weekends, a video-projection dance floor, swanky lounge areas, and surprisingly artistic and clean bathrooms for Broadway. I also note it flaunts Lower Broadway’s highest, largest, and only true multi-level deck rooftop; built in 1946, the space originally served to store goods delivered from barges on the Cumberland River." - Delia Jo Ramsey
