Ole Red is a great tavern style bar with a low rising stage below with seating all around. It has one of the largest gift shops in any bar on Broadway. Although the entrance can be confusing when first approaching the bar, I think it was a clever idea to have the entrance on the side. Often at night, especially during holidays or the weekends, it can become overcrowded with people so having a line to get in start down adjacent to the building is a good idea. The building itself was a bank long before and it still says “Broadway National Bank” on the front facade of the building. My favorite part about Ole Red was the Lookout. Most of the rooftop bars in Nashville have a large party vibe. At the lookout on Ole Red, it is a nice, classy bar that has an intimate feel with ample seating to spare. Brown leather couches line walls and tables for those ordering food. Outside on the patio there is additional seating with high-top tables and wicker couches and chairs. The umbrellas and propane fueled heaters outside assure comfortable accommodations on a colder day. I would recommend getting the nachos and pretzel if you are looking for something to snack on. The best part about the lookout was the fact that you were able to listen to live music and eat food without having to yell to the person across the table. It was a revelation from the different dining experiences I have had thus far on Broadway. I can’t wait to go back!

On our way out of Nashville, my group and I were on the hunt for a place to grab a quick bite. We stumbled upon a burger joint that had live music, which was a great surprise. At first, I was disappointed to see that there wasn't anything on the menu that fit my dietary needs. However, the bartender overheard my concerns and let me know that they had vegan burgers and gluten-free buns available if requested. This was a pleasant surprise, and I ended up ordering a delicious vegan burger with all the toppings. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere, with the live music adding to the experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and I was grateful for their willingness to cater to my dietary restrictions. The food was fresh and flavorful, and everyone in our group left feeling satisfied. Overall, I would highly recommend this burger joint to anyone passing through Nashville. The combination of live music and tasty food make it a must-visit spot, and the accommodating staff will make sure you leave feeling satisfied. If you're looking for a quick, delicious meal, look no further than this burger joint.

I’m not sure where to start…. My wife and a group of friends came down to Nashville during CMA fest. We had tickets to Nissan and started to figure out what we were going to do during the day. Found ourselves in Ole Red! The line-up was better than what was happening at the stadium! Music was insane! To see such huge artists in an intimate setting like that….where else can you get that!!?? Additionally, the staff were extremely friendly. Every time I went up to the bar the bartenders already knew what I was going to order. They were amazing. Regarding the food, I can’t speak too much about it as I only had a grilled cheese sandwich, but after some drinks all day and the amazing music we were listening to, it was the best grilled cheese ever!! :) We stayed there all day Thursday and had such a great time we went back again Saturday. In the end, in my opinion, Ole Red is the spot to go when in Nashville. Great atmosphere, music, staff, drinks, and food! How can you beat that? Get there everyone, you won’t regret it!

My experience was pretty great but my parents had a different experience as this was a family affair this why I lowered my rating. I'll start with my review: I had the Maple Brown Ale (pictured) which is a local Brew and was excellent. My dad got their local IPA and enjoyed it as well. I ordered the Ole Red Onion Burger and it's pictured. I enjoyed it. It was served hot as well as the freshly cut fries. This was a 5/5 experience. My parents experience: they ordered the Redneck Nachos. I was pretty impressed with how it was served and you can see the picture attached too. Homemade fries and what appears to be fresh ingredients. The problem? It was served cold and when brought to the waiter's attention he didn't do much about it except bring hot cheese. I feel as though the meat should at least be hot and so should the cheese. Neither was the case even the extra cup of cheese he brought. That is in part to why the rating suffered. I suppose it's all in what you order so maybe avoid the appetizers?

Yikes!! Went here on a Monday night & Service was so slow. We asked for our table to get wiped down from the previous people sitting there before us. Our waiter took an additional 20 minutes after we asked this & then asked for a card on file for 3 drinks we ordered but didn’t receive yet before he could wipe off our table. Drinks were warm, even the coors we ordered didn’t have blue mountains by the time we received it. I believe in Nashville southern Peach seltzer was okay, but warm. Not a lot on the food menu. Rooftop views are nice. The table next to us said they had been waiting for 2 hours & only had 1 drink because service was so slow. We actually wanted food but for how slow it was & the review from the table next to us, we decided to go elsewhere for food. Looked like a cool place but I wouldn’t go back. Might have been just the time we went but definitely ruined the impression for us.

Watching Blake Shelton on The Voice, and seeing the clips of Ole Red in Nashville (there are 6 locations) it was a must see. We came here for lunch and the music one day, and appetizers and drinks on the roof the next day. This is a five-story building. The first floor has a large stage and there is a large second floor balcony. The 5th floor is the rooftop with an indoor and outdoor area and more live music. We really enjoyed the rooftop. The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is the portion size of the Tractor Haul salad - must have been a tiny tractor. The Broadway strip is a lot of fun and in my opinion a must see area. Spend the day going from one bar to another listening to some fantastic music. Lots of fun!
