Nashville Live Music Bar Crawl with Local Venues & Drink Specials

The Nashville Live Music Bar Crawl isn’t just about drinking — it’s a curated, guided walk through Music City’s most iconic streets, where you’ll explore authentic venues and hear live performances from real Nashville artists (not just the same cover bands you’ll hear everywhere else).

Itinerary
Guests will explore downtown Nashville's vibrant streets as they move between venues. The area is known for its historic buildings, murals, and the energetic vibe of live music echoing from nearby honky tonks.
Guests will begin their tour in this historic alley, once home to speakeasies and jazz clubs. Today, it’s a lesser-known gem that features some of the most authentic live music spots in the city.
The group will walk through 2nd Ave, where classic bars and restaurants line cobblestone streets. Guides will point out buildings that survived the 2020 bombing and share how the area’s music and nightlife scene is bouncing back.
Travelers will visit multiple venues located on or just off Broadway, one of Nashville’s most iconic streets. They'll enjoy live music, local drinks, and see the famous neon lights and bustling foot traffic.
While the tour does not enter the Ryman, guests will pass by and learn about its history as the 'Mother Church of Country Music.' Guides will share key facts and invite guests to return on their own.
Guests will visit a venue along this legendary stretch, known for its multi-level bars and all-day music. They'll experience the culture of Nashville’s famed party strip firsthand.
Legends Corner isn’t just another honky-tonk — it’s a living tribute to the heart and soul of country music. The bar’s famed mural showcases generations of country legends, making it a photo-op and pilgrimage site for fans. At the corner outside, a bronze statue of Jimmy Dickens greets guests — a nod to Nashville’s tradition of honoring its storytellers. Inside, you won’t find flashy gimmicks, just a classic wooden bar, a packed dance floor, and nonstop live music played by seasoned local musicians. It's places like Legends that make Broadway more than a party street — they make it a music legacy.
Guests will finish the tour steps away from Bridgestone Arena, one of Nashville’s premier live event venues. Located across the street from the Fifth + Broadway shopping and dining complex, this spot places travelers in the center of downtown’s energy and attractions.

She’s amazing!! She’s chill and very easy going and knows her stuff! Brought us around everywhere! Love it!!
Wonderful tour, she was friendly and funny
Fun bars and great music all led by a great guide- AJ.
Absolutely unacceptable. The tour operator never showed up, and I received no email, text, or phone call advising that the tour had been cancelled. Ironically, they even emailed me today requesting my signed waiver, so there was every reason to believe the tour was proceeding as scheduled. I'm only in Nashville for three nights, and instead of enjoying my limited time here, I was left waiting around for a tour that never happened. Poor communication and a complete disregard for customers' time. Very disappointing.
Still waiting for a refund or credit since the event on May 10 was as cancelled. Otherwise was looking forward to the event.
AJ was absolutely incredible! The tour was a blast, and it’s clear she takes real pride in what she does while still keeping things fun and engaging. I’d happily join another tour with her anytime.
We had a blast. We went to bars we have never been to before and AJ seemed to know everyone at them all. We had good drink specials and she was very knowledgeable.
Great way to see the bar scene. Inside information from AJ was amazing. We loved seeing the local scene
Don’t waste your money. You can do it on your own. If the bar and music is not to your liking you can move on. One bar had only a few people and others were too crowded. The concept of a crawl is good, but needs more work.
AJ was a GREAT tour guide and so much FUN! We had a blast! Highly recommend this tour with AJ.
