Legends Corner — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

Went to Nashville for the first time this past weekend. Legends was the first bar we went to. Had a great time there during the day on Friday. Saturday we started making our rounds and decided to go back to legends that night. We went to the bar and ordered shots. My mother in law paid for the shots on her credit card and asked her sister for cash to put in the tip jar. Before her sister could get cash out, the bartender picked the receipt up and saw that the space for a tip was blank. While this is going on, cash is deposited into the tip jar. She shows the other bartender the receipt and immediately starts on my mother in law, flipping her off and slapping her hand against her chest at her, making the gesture of mocking a mentally disabled person. We asked what the problem was and the brunette bartender said “this isn’t a one way street” and seeing as how we put cash in the tip jar, we had no idea what she was talking about. She continued to go on about it before we decided we’re not giving this place any more of our money. As we left, they continued to flip us off and scream “bye!” If I weren’t even involved in the situation, seeing this girl make the gesture that she did, I would have left immediately. These girls need to realize, sometimes people pay with a card and still tip with cash. I always thought tipping with cash is best, but apparently not to these girls. Will not give this establishment my money ever again. Isn’t worth the trouble when you’re spending $50 on 4 shots, would rather give it to one of the other...

The staff here was very rude, ignorant, and incompetent. I was very excited to be in Nashville for the first time. I sat down with a group of friends and colleagues. A waitress asked to see my ID, which I happily obliged, as I just turned 21 years old on April 12th. However, I am from Italy, and do not have an American drivers license or ID. Therefore my ID reads, 12/04/02 ( the European way of writing April 12th, 2002). However, the waitress mistook this as saying “December 4th, 2002”, therefore making me 20 years old instead on 21. The waitress did not give me any opportunity to explain that I was in fact of age. Instead, she rudely snatched my drink out of my hand, causing me to spill on my lap. She did not give me a refund on my drink nor the generous tip I had left earlier. A few moments later, another staff member asked my entire party to leave the establishment, saying they had violated the law for enabling an underaged person to consume alcohol. I was not given a chance to explain, and my entire group of colleagues had to leave the bar. This was very embarrassing for me as I had done nothing wrong and was with a group of colleagues that I admire and respect. Ultimately, I never got my money back. I would describe this establishment as xenophobic and ignorant. I felt very discriminated against as a foreigner. After reading other reviews, I have come to learn that other minorities have faced similar discrimination. I am very disappointed in the staff here and there attitude towards other...

Normally, I like to scope out a few options before choosing a spot, but this time, we walked into the very first honky tonk we saw on Broadway—and it did not disappoint. The live country music spilling out of the open doors immediately pulled us in, and the authentic bar atmosphere sealed the deal.

We grabbed a beer, found a high-top table, and settled in to enjoy the live act. The band was everything you’d hope for in a classic honky tonk—cowboy hats, boots, fiddles, acoustic guitars, and that signature country energy that made it impossible not to get swept up in the moment. They weren’t just playing music; they were engaging with the crowd, creating a real connection between the stage and the audience.

Another highlight was the crowd itself—a solid mix of locals and Americans rather than just tourists, which made the experience feel even more authentic.

And finally, the cherry on top was watching an older couple step onto the well-worn dance floor and, without hesitation, burst into dance—just the two of them, completely lost in the love of the music and the moment. It was a beautiful and wholesome reminder of what music can do—bring people together, stir emotions, and create unforgettable memories.

If you’re looking for a genuine honky tonk experience, this place is well...
