While in Nashville you really need to take the time to visit the Bluebird cafe if you have the time. If possible make reservations. I went on a writers night and an open mic night and really enjoyed both. My only dissappointment was that if you go the later show and no body wants to leave from the previous show... more

WE were there last night and really enjoyed the talented trio ..A cowgirl, a diva and a red headed Hussy" . The Cowgirl "Becky Hobbs" was awesome on the piano and of course it was neat to find out she too was from Oklahoma.The gals were really friendly, the food was not that bad for a little club, Be sure... more

If you love hearing your favorite country songs sung by the songwriters that wrote them, you will love the Bluebird. Don't go for the food because it's only to make some extra money to keep the doors open but it is an amazing place for music lovers! There is nothing like it anywhere else! more

The music was fantastic, as was the atmosphere. The problem was the bad service! We apparently sat in the only four seats in the house that are not served by the wait staff, so we had to leave our seats in the midst of the performance to buy our own drinks at the crowded bar, stepping in front of everyone... more

My sister and I recently went to the Bluebird Cafe on open mic night. It was writers night and we spent three hours listening to mostly quality musicians singing their original songs. One of the best parts was that it was off the beaten path and a little less touristy than all the other things we did. Be aware that... more

When we decided to go to Nashville, I logged onto TripAdvisor and I'm so glad I did. I would not have known anything about the Bluebird Cafe had I not seen it here. The Bluebird Cafe is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place that my husband and I love to find in different towns. I tried to call for reservations on the... more

We went to the early (free) show on April 15th 2008 and enjoyed the show a lot. The songwriter circle we went to was composed of four young, talented songwriters. Three played guitar, one brought a guitarist. Very close quarters, but guitars not too loud - voices did seem a little over-miked, but still OK. Very intimate setting allowed for... more

I've lived in Nashville for the last two years, and the Bluebird Cafe is such a gem for locals and visitors alike. We always bring visitors to the Bluebird, and it's always a tremendous hit -- while my fiance and I tend to forget the names of all the aspiring songwriters we've heard play there, family and friends who have... more
