Honky Tonk Central Review

Great music. Fest service even though really crowded. Was able to take my kids there and they enjoyed.

Out for a girls night and ended up in this bar late in the evening. There were a few sloppy drunks but the bouncers there were great about getting rowdy people out. Bartender and band was great!

If I could give 0 stares I would had a older groups of 9 people ages raging from 30 to 70 three people couldn t do stairs so we where going take the elevator bouncer came running up and kicked us of the elevator as we where getting off the door kept shutting hitting us as we where getting off so we had are hands out to try and stop the door as we all got out then the bouncer kicked us all out trying to get physical pushing us out of the bar very unprofessional very rude

Was one of the better places on Broadway and the open areas looking down the street from the third floor was kinda cool. Layout on first floor little difficult as you have to fight your way through band crowd to get to stairs.

Stayed for about an hour to get an appetizer of onion rings, have a drink and listen to the band. The band was awesome along with the food and service. I, also, got to keep tabs on the football scores for the day, as several televisions had various games playing.

Good music band playing at the time of this review.

Classic Nashville (Broadway) experience. World class live music on all three floors. Cheap drinks, and dancing galore. If you are looking for a wild night def make a pit stop here. Great for Bachelor and Bachelorette parties and birthdays.

Really great people! Awesome vibe and the kind of place you can really enjoy yourself!

Band (girl lead plus 3 guys on 2nd flr) asked for $20 for a request, took my $ then said they did not know and they never played anything. Total rip off.

The place was really cool with the three live bands! I got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and a beer, and I wasn't really impressed with the sandwich. Great live music though, definitely a place to see in Nashville.

I love this place. I make sure to visit every time I'm in visiting from Chicago

Honky Tonk
JAKE MAURER band, was so fun. It s so nice to hear and see live music, it s been way to long. Even though we weren t allowed to dance or really sing, it was still a great night.
Scott our waiter was so efficient. Excellent, hard working. Good job Scott.
Evin ( door man, security) was wondering and was doing a hell of a job!

Thank you HONKY TONK!
I CAN T wait to see who will be there tomorrow night.

I WOULD go back.

If you can get past the first floor crowd and get upstairs ....lol

Awesome music - bands on all floors! Decent food - fast service at the bar!

Great performances, food, location, atmosphere and staff! Definitely a great place to visit if you're new!

Extremely loud band. Slow service but food tasty. (I do not like loud places).

One of the most fun Honky Tonks on Broadway! Three levels of music and you'll always see a good band!

The server Jordan was amazing. For how busy they get I give all those works a 5 star rating. They are busy all day and the later it gets the more crazy thing they have to deal with!

Lots of fun to be had here. Three floors of live music and lots of beer to choose from.

Amazing staff and band. They followed the COVID guidelines to a T. Good job Honkytonk Central

Fun spot, great band. More of a "dive" feel than some of the others, but a lot of fun!

You will not regret it! Food, drinks , and atmosphere is awesome. Downtown Nashville is by far the best party place!

Was crowded when got in, but has quickly emptied. Probably due to the poor quality and/or lack of service. Typical bar food and drinks, but overpriced for what you get. Great live music though.

Fun place and good entertainment. More of a bar than restraunt. After 9 pm they quit serving food and can only get appetizers which is just like any other bar. If you want to listen to live country music and drink this place is great. Food is sub par. Eat somehwere else before you go out for the night.

Drinks are high, but that's normal for the area. Good music

Been there done that have fun and we'll recommend this place to anybody

Awesome place! Go there every time we are in Nashville! Only sad part is they changed their chicken fingers which were our favorite. super sad.

To be clear- not a tourist. Was heading down from the third floor around 215am. Mind you, do not even go in after about 145 because they close all doors around 2. Either way my friends shirt got lifted up by a stranger , to which I commented to the bouncer "maybe if you payed attention that wouldn't have happened" after bullshitting with him for 5 minutes. Next thing i know he takes my drinks and slams them in the trash and 2 band pushes me out of the bar. Disappointed in what happened tonight and honestly most times i am there. Once upon a time it was the only bar to really have an "outdoor"
Presence but now there are a ton of better choices with better bouncers and bartenders. From a local- skip it. Disclaimer - I live downtown Denver and only come back 2 times a year to visit my family.

Favorite Honket Tonk in Nashville. Have to go hear Samantha Stroh and KT.

Bar with live music, the bar tender did a great job helping everyone.

the best place in Nashville all the other reviews are just hating

WHAT A PLACE! So much fun, so great to be out and having a good time with friends.

This place has 3 levels with a different band playing on each level opening up your options.

Teal the bartender is absolutely incredible. She is bubbly, she is friendly, and she is genuine. As visitors from Miami, we stayed at this bar because of her! She is such a gem and Nashville needs to hold on to her Plus she s an Eagles fan! Can t go wrong with that Thank you so much for a great night girl!

But it's Hooters.. there's so many good bars within walking distance

Here's a tip, if you pay the band then they don't have to ask everybody to tip them between every song.

And given the fact that a round of drinks is about as much as a car payment, there doesn't seem to be any reason the bands aren't all self-made millionaires.

Are ready to yeehaw and yeet on your cousin? Come on down to Honky Tonk Central and make life choices you'll regret for years to come. Good bar food and quick bartenders. This was the only bar that was still serving food after 9:30pm on Broadway.. 5/5

Horrible bosses and staff. Not worth tour time or money. Poor service and mediocre fair.

This place was a blast!! Didn't take too long to get drinks even though it was mega busy.. and the staff were all very friendly. Great choice for one of the few places we stopped at!

Terrible customer service don t waste your time here

Great live music. Always great service, cold drinks, & great pub style food. Can't beat it unless you're a drummer .

Hands down the best bar on Broadway!

This is absolutely my favorite place on the strip. I've got a lot of bars that I enjoy, but, this is one that I visit every single time I'm in Nashville and refuse to skip out on.

Three awesome floors of entertainment, awesome and lively crowds, great live bands, and top of the line service, and strong drinks.

The balcony on the third floor is basically iconic. Its the very best spot to stand and look out over Broadway to see the bright lights and crowds and always entertaining walking down the street below, too.

An absolutely must stop.

Great 3 level bar different music on each level. Awesome service even when super busy. Great balconies that overlook Broadway. Fun environment good place to hang out and have drinks.

Awesome fun.. Kick as bands. Got to sing with Donny Lee whos band did a bunch of really show stopping tunes.!

My favorite spot.
Bands are always stellar and the crowd is fun!
Time to bust out your Honky Tonk attitude!!

3 great bands and nice vibe with rustic decor . Our waitress Heather was awesome . If your new to town a must stop and kid friendly early hours which was great for the young musicians wanting to hear live music.

What an awesome experiance! I love the three floors of live music. Very upbeat and friendly staff, great drinks, and the open air patios are perfect for Summer nights on Broadway. Next time we visit Nashville we will definitely be back!

I was really looking forward to going to this bar as it has a cool location and layout. My boyfriend and I were visiting from Wisconsin for our spring break. We arrived at the bar and sat down and the bartender asked us what we would like. She then asked for our ID s and after looking at them for about 5 minutes she very condescendingly told us that she wouldn t serve us and gave us our drivers licenses back. We were very confused because we are 23 and 22 and we asked why she wouldn t serve us and she said that the ID s were opposite . We asked to speak to a manager and she replied that she was the manager and asked if we d like to speak to the owner and we said yes. She then had a police officer come over (most likely to kick us out) and he looked at our IDs and said that they were legitimate and told her this as well. She continued to be rude but asked what we would like after making a scene and embarrassing us in front of everyone sitting around us at the bar. We left and will not be going back. Very disappointing and horrible service.

Great live music with spacious dancefloors, but disgusting bathrooms

I really like this place. I had fun and I liked the music. Only I was shocked about how much costs a drink..

Great music! Crowded, hard to find seats. We sat at the bar, both had sandwiches with fries and beers. Food came out hot, tasted good enough. While we ate (around 6:00pm), both the band and wait staff changed shifts. Both bands were classic country, including fiddle player and male & female voices. We didn't make it upstairs.

Large 3 level bar with live music, fun place, would recommend and return.

This was a fun place with good music and great bartenders. I would visit again and recommend it to anyone. Can't find space on the first floor try the other levels.

Great music, all day long, fried pickles are great.

Great place, tons of fun and great music from country to rock.

Didn't even play country music. I heard more Metallica than anything else. Like what is that at a honky tonk?

Fun, especially in good weather. But VERY expensive... like most of Broadway.

For an old guy like me coming to a packed bar with hardly any room to stand let alone sit is not my idea of fun anymore. The band playing was playing amazing covers and really knew how to keep the crowd involved. I left quickly for the reason stated above. If you're college age, I would say this should be your first stop of the night.

The band they had playing was fantastic. The bartender was not only attentive but made excellent drinks as well.

Bands were really great, but both times I've visited Nashville, once in February and once in July, the service here has been terrible. Everyone always wants to go here, and I have no idea why. The staff acts like you are a pain and that you're inconveniencing them. I've had great experiences with service staff in every restaurant and bar in Nashville EXCEPT Honky Tonk Central. I will not be going back.

Live music AWESOME! They definitely know how to book talent. Food was good drink prices high and they need to put some liquor in them for what the charge. Overall all though great experience. Would give 5 stars except paid $11 for a tiny drink with no alcohol in it

Pretty good beer selection. Live bands seem to always switch it up. On the second floor, there's a certain point of the night where that country band playing there will take song requests for $20. Seeing an opportunity to finally not have to listen to anymore ear stabbing country music, I requested they play some Nirvana after putting some money in their bucket. Did not disappoint me one bit. And everyone started mouge pitting. Money well spent on breaking the country rules of Nashville. Many of these country bands that play live here in Nashville really need to get out of their comfort zone once in a while. The results will pay off.
