Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar was easily my favorite live music spot during our Nashville trip. We visited twice during a four-night stay, and both nights delivered high-energy performances with strong blues and rock covers that kept the crowd engaged from start to finish.
The Atmosphere
Located in historic Printers Alley, this bar stands out from the Broadway scene by offering a more intimate live music experience. The venue is small, which adds to its charm and creates a lively, close-up feel with the band.
The New Orleans-inspired vibe is a fun change of pace, and the wraparound metal balcony is a great place to grab a seat if you can find one. Sitting upstairs gives you a perfect view of the stage and the crowd below.
Drinks and Pricing
Drink prices are on the higher side but consistent with most downtown Nashville bars. Expect to pay around nine dollars for beers and about fourteen dollars for cocktails.
While not cheap, the quality live music and unique atmosphere make it worth it.
Final Verdict
If you are looking for live blues music in Nashville with a New Orleans flair, Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar is a must-visit. It is a great alternative to the busy Broadway bars and an excellent choice for a memorable night out in Music City.
