Man, Rocketown is legit one of the best spots in Nashville. The people here actually care. Like, they’re not just running a venue—they’re building a community. They’ve got music programs, a skatepark, and a bunch of other creative stuff, but more than that, they’re making sure kids have a spot where they feel safe and supported. In a world where it’s easy to feel lost, Rocketown is that place that reminds you you’re not alone. If you’re a young artist looking for a place to play, or just need somewhere real to go, check this place out. It’s making a difference, and honestly, Nashville wouldn’t be the same without it.

I forgot this place existed. It used to be cool and open to all until they really pushed the religion thing hard. Now it's forgotten. It had great potential. If someone wants to rip this business plan and leave out the fairytale prejudices and exclusions you'll make bank!

I recently planned a large event at their venue, and it was perfect. Jenna and Verbs, and the the team were so helpful with everything and the event was a huge success. I would definitely recommend having events here. Plus, tech, tables, and chairs are included if you want them! It is a steal compared to other venues where tech alone will run you another 5-10k. Very happy we did it here!

Used to love this place until it went corporate! Now it’s bland and rarely caters to the community. If you’re not Christian don’t go! They are very forceful when it comes to religion. The only good thing is the skate park. Only go if you REALLY need the help! They do not care about the community.

We passed through envious of the coffee bar. The building is fantastic with lots of excellent artists that have come through. Next-door is a skateboard park. This is a great venue with lots of cubbies and places to sit and look. I can’t wait till the next time we visit Nashville will book tickets in advance.

Went here for the Taste Nashville event. I expected more for a $100 VIP ticket. The food samples the vendors provided was cold and very tiny. There was many vendors there. The vendors ran out of food early. The event was scheduled from 7p-12am. By 9 most food vendors were packing up. By 10p, all of them had left. There was plenty of alcoholic drinks though.
