Woolworth On 5th - Review - Downtown - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Woolworth on 5th, located inside a restored department store-turned-restaurant, is home to a famous lunch counter that was the site of some of the first Civil Rights Movement sit-ins. This place feels a bit like you’re walking into a museum exhibit, or that you accidentally time traveled back about 50 years, and the menu is centered around traditional Southern classics like deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits. After dinner, order a Fifth Avenue Fizz or Susie Q - boozy versions of soda counter favorites - before you head downstairs to the Palladium Ballroom to catch some live soul, jazz, and funk." - Kristen Shoates

Cool old place. The staff was great. The show was great. The entire experience was fantastic. I could gripe about sitting on a folding chair but -- This is an old, historic theater and I expected that (or worse). Great job all around. Even the front door staff were engaging and accommodating. A+

So much history here. And it has been revitalized into a live event space. We had seats on the floor, in the back, to stage left and still had a fairly good view of everything. They've kept a nod to the history of the iconic Woolworths Lunch Counter in one of the front windows. Downstairs they've opened the Woolworth Lounge which has a full drink menu and some light eats. Prices are pretty standard for Nashville night life. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

We attended the Shiner's Show at the Woolworth Theater downtown. It was so much fun and very exciting! Highly recommend!

Wonderful event for almost 300 people. Every staff member was helpful and genuinely happy to help. Benton - the Director of Private Events - worked with us from the very beginning to make sure our event would go smooth. Our attendees will rave about that night for years to come!

The Woolworth Theater is a great intimate venue. The staff were very nice and the drinks were good. We watched The Shiners show and had a great time. The show was very interactive and entertaining.

Such a cool spot! The owner is super nice! The shows are incredible. The lounge downstairs is soo cool, I felt like I was in a movie. The only complaint I have is that they closed the kitchen like 20 minutes after the show and didn't announce that it was closing and I wanted to get the state fair and brussel sprouts but they said I couldn't because the kitchen has closed. :( ... so I just got another drink which was the strawberry mojito, highly recommend! Was delicious!

We recently had an event in the Lounge area of the Woolworth. Everything was amazing. I have helped host many events, and this one went off perfectly. Working with Benton was a dream, he was kind, cooperative and reliable. We got there and everything was set up exactly as planned. He also worked with us to change a few things right on the spot. The food was great, the other staff working the event were helpful and kind to all of our guests. I would totally recommend hosting an event at The Woolworth Theatre!

The Shiners at the theater was quite entertaining. Amazing feats of strength and acrobatics. Fun show with great interaction with the crowd to make it even better. Not a bad seat in the house.

Stayed in an Air B&B at the Woolworth Theater and although no windows in Air B&B it was beautifully retro decorated, excellent location off of Broadway. Walgreens was right across the street and the famous Puckett's restaurant was on corner of same block. Lots of cafe's restaurants within walking distance as well as Broadway a few streets away. I would stay again for the comfortable apartment and for the location. I would definitely recommend this Air B&B apartment for sure!

We fully planned on eating snacks in the lounge before the show only to get here early and tell them they don't have staff for the lounge to serve food. And they open an hour before the show. Since we wanted to lounge and got there early, we took our business to assembly hall and the whiskey co next door. We did the ranch hands cowboy burlesque show which was entertaining but i wasn't a fan of the chair set up. Cramped like sardines.

Attended a show over Thanksgiving weekend Shiners. The theater is beautiful. Very comfortable seating and theater is just the right size. Food, drinks and bar downstairs are fantastic. Just a few blocks from Broadway but a world of difference. Shiners show was fantastic and a must see for anyone when visiting Nashville.
