2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Most visitors to Nashville stumble into live music venues without knowing the stories behind the stages. This tour changes that.

The Nashville Live Music Bar Crawl isn’t just about drinking — it’s a curated, guided walk through Music City’s most iconic streets, where you’ll explore authentic venues and hear live performances from real Nashville artists (not just the same cover bands you’ll hear everywhere else).

What sets us apart:

A music-first experience led by a local host with deep knowledge of Nashville’s scene

Exclusive drink specials at each stop, no cover, and no lines

️ A thoughtfully planned route through Printers Alley, 2nd Ave, and Broadway — no guesswork, no tourist traps

Great for solo travelers, couples, and groups — everyone leaves with memories (and maybe a few new friends)

The only full live music crawl experience in Nashville

If you want to truly feel the soul of the city — not just see the sights — this is the crawl for you.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point
Alley Taps

Meet inside Alley Taps in historic Printers Alley. Note: This is a real alley, not a main street—so it’s easy to miss. Enter the alley, look for the Nashville Live Music Bar Crawl sign, and come on in to check in with your guide.

End point
Fifth + Broadway

This tour ends near the corner of 5th & Broadway, one of downtown Nashville’s most iconic intersections. From here, you’re just steps away from live music, great food, and plenty more to explore. Your guide will offer suggestions if you’d like to keep the fun going!
