Stay near Broadway.īroadway really is where a lot of the action is, so you’ll want to be close enough to walk or take a quick Uber. You might not know the Opry began in 1925 in its first radio broadcast, and to this day, each show is still broadcast. There are concerts happening all the time, and you never know who you might see on stage, from up-and-coming artists to the classic country singers our parents loved and the most popular in the industry. Where the big show is depends on when you visit, so check ahead of time. The Grand Ole Opry technically takes place at two locations: The Ryman Auditorium and the Grand Ole Opry House, which is going to be a drive, if you’re mostly hanging out near Broadway. Also make a trip off Broadway.ĭolly Parton Performs during the Grand Ole Opry 85th birthday bash at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee. There are more, and you can expect to hear live music in all of them - not necessarily just country, either. There are also some newer bars, like Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa, Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, or the FGL House - all of which are different and fun. There are some bars that have quite a history on Broadway, like Tootsies Orchid Lounge, the Stage and Legends Corner, to name a few. They pretty much all offer up cocktails and live music during the course of the day and night, but they’re all different in their own way, and worth checking out. There are plenty, but they are all so fun. And when I say to visit ALL the bars, I mean all of them - or as many as you can. I can’t even begin to explain to you how much fun you are going to have. There are still shows held at the Ryman, so check out the schedule to find out if there’s anyone you might be interested in seeing.
There’s also a tour you can take at your own pace, if that suits your trip better. You will get a seat in the theater and watch the “show” - one that has holograms, special effects, multidimensional film messages and archived footage, with “guests” who include Darius Rucker, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill and others. If you feel like a tour would interest you, it’s really very cool. If you don’t want to spend a ton of time here, I would suggest at least going in, taking a look around and soaking in the building. And it’s just a block off of Broadway, so it’s quite close to a lot of the action. You don’t have to be a history buff to find this one interesting, but if you even remotely like and appreciate country music, you’ve got to cut out some time for a Ryman tour. Since 1925, Ryman Auditorium has been the home of the Grand Ole Opry and the national headquarters of foot-stomping, tear-jerking country music.
