Sean Kusaywa
2 years agoOne of the smaller bars on Broadway but was fine. Both bands on each floor were great. Had a blast
Brandon

a year agoWe enjoyed the live music! Only con is the only food they offer is pizza and I’m gluten free so we left to get food elsewhere. But good spot for music!
Aundria Thorne
7 years agoThe staff is incredible! Desi, the manager makes you feel right at home. Taylor and Tiffany are the sweetest! And Anthony is the best bouncer ever! When you're here you feel like family. Also, out of all the "longer" bars on Broadway this one definitely has more room!
Jeffrey Hyde
a year agoSecond Fiddle is a great traditional honkey tonk on Broadway. The drinks are priced reasonably and the bands are usually pretty darn good. Definitely recommend that you give it a try on your next trip to Nashville!!
Lindsay Best
2 years agoRooftop bar with heaters. The door man had a great vibe, so we had to check it out. A nice view of broadway and live music on all floors. Great energy, friendly bartenders and good music.
joseph borovich
4 years agoHad a good time on a Wednesday evening enjoying some live music and a few drinks. Our bartender was friendly and attentive. Some interesting decor on the walls including a bunch of old instruments, radios, and more. Pretty cool spot.

a year agoSecond Fiddle is more like Second Home for me right now.
karina k
2 years agoGreat live music of both levels and two different types of music. We sat on the first level and they sand country music on non stop requests from the customers. It was great. Some Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Brett Young, Taylor Swift, The Almond Brothers, and anything you ask. The band Andrew Mac was excellent with guitarist, lead singer who also plays the guitar, a fiddler, a drummer, and base player. They are always welcome all over Nashville to sing at all establishments for their energy and talent. Great venue to just relax w drinks and listen to live music with friends.

Edited a month agoWe went to 5 million bars in Nashville - on and off Broadway - and this is hands down the best... Especially on Thursday or Saturday when the Cory Farley Band is playing!! Beer bucket specials and a super cute cowboy bouncer that will dance with you, if you ask nicely ;) There's lots of room to dance and have a great time! Cory Farley band is by far the most entertaining and talented act we've seen! He's now the new love of my life (don't tell my husband ;) Check it out y'all!!
