We were thrilled to see a place that doesn't play country music. It was completely like being in New Orleans for Margi Gras or something. They gave us beads when we came in the door, and the service was better than we expected for us being in the south. lol... My boyfriend's friends said it is now their favorite bar... more

If you want to see Memphis in a night minus the gunplay and with a country twist then this is your spot. I highly recommend the Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar.

I absolutely loved Printer's Alley. Besides the fact that the beer was cheaper and the crowd was more locals rather than tourists, the bars there rock!! There is lots to see and do. I really enjoyed Lonnie's Western Room and the Brass Stables. My husband and I were treated very well everywhere we went here!! more

We have visited Nashville many times and always frequent the downtown area at night. It's great to see and hear the live entertainers. It's especially great to go Printer's Alley and hear Frank sing and the Smoking Section turn out some great music. more

Lonnies Western Room has great singers in a small dive type setting. No frills bar,... more
