"We went for open mic writers night. The amount of talent from our 19 song writers was outstanding. We arrived about 3:50 pm and doors open at 5:30. When we got there, there were about 3 groups in line. While waiting, the line was short until about 4:30-5 pm. So I'd say arrive an hour before doors open to make sure you get a seat. Open mic ran from 6-7:45 pm. The security guard was great at keeping us entertained and informing us of the process. They did a great job getting people seated and allowing as many people as possible to see the show. The parking lot is small and there is more parking in back. They have a few handicap spots. The driveway had lots of Uber/Lyft drivers dropping off and picking up. The food was delicious and very well organized. I'd recommend looking at the menu ahead of time as they don't pass out menus."

"What an iconic place. We went for song writers night for the 6:00pm show. It is very small, so get your tickets early. They fill up and sell out fast. The staff is amazing and know what they are doing. The drinks were good and expensive with a $15 minimum per person. A drink is $13.50 each, so you need to drink two. We didn't eat, so I can't comment on the food. If you are a tightwad and or a talker, please don't go. We are all their to listen to the music, NOT the next table neighbors. You're most likely going to sit with other people at your table unless you can fill an entire table. If this bothers you, please don't go. I highly recommend this place. I will return again and again. 2 thumbs 👍 up!"

"Amazing concert location! The Bluebird cafe offers an intimate musical experience. They have amazing artists perform on their stage. Food and drinks are also great. Overall, a great experience I would recommend to anyone."

"We were visiting a friend in Nashville and we love Taylor Swift, so we decided to go to the Bluebird Cafe for open mic night. It was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious! They have a small menu, but it is all top notch. Some advice: If you go on open mic nights it is first come first serve. Get there and hour before the doors open and form a line. They let 60 to 70 people in for the show. There is a gravel lot behind the building with plenty of parking. For food I suggest the chicken pot pie. It was homemade and had the best puffed pastry on the top. The warm brie was a fantastic starter. This is a must do while in Nashville."

"We were there to see country music legend Connie Smith Thanksgiving week 2025. Her husband, Marty Stuart, was also there sitting in the corner like a loving dutiful husband, with that HAIR.❤️ 😍🥰 We could not get tickets, so we stood in a separate line for first available and, maybe because it was a Tuesday night, everyone in line got to come in. Unfortunately where we had to sit was on bar stools at the far end of the bar with obstructed views. My legs fell asleep after an hour on that stool and I had to stand. The poor guy who came in after us had to sit all the way on the very end and couldn't even see the stage, so we took pictures and sent them to him. He was a good sport and we left with a new friend! We met some GREAT folks while we were standing in line, and that was almost as enjoyable as the show! It's a VERY cozy venue, they only have seating for 90 people, and there's supposed to be a minimum purchase of $12 food or drink, which they did not make us do, perhaps because we were one of the last ones in the door. 🤷‍♀️ We also saved $7 each by paying at door, so it only cost us $20 each to get in when tickets were a minimum of $27. They also prefer cash over card, if you can swing that at the door! I would recommend visiting the Bluebird Cafe over ANY of the flashy bars on Broadway every day of the week! ❤️❤️❤️🥰"
