The Bluebird Cafe

Awesome time here and I’m so glad we were able to score tickets.
I know some others in the comments have complained about difficulty getting tickets, but just keep in mind this is a popular venue because there is so much history here, so of course tickets are going to be in high demand!
If you’re lucky like us and do get to go, you won’t be disappointed. The whole atmosphere felt very personal and intimate. The staff was super friendly and very attentive to you. They also go the extra mile to help ensure the safety of their patrons by wearing masks.

Other reviewers have given this place bad reviews due to vaccine or testing requirements. I went on 4/8 and was not asked to provide any of this. But, even if I was, I would love that because it just shows even more how dedicated they are to making sure their patrons can have a good time but still be safe.

The three artists that played, I had never heard of, but I’ve already looked them up following the show because they did an excellent job.

Overall, a must-visit whether you live in Nashville or are just visiting like me.

Way overrated. There's no parking. Every business around has posted signs that they'll tow. They really cram people in. There's one bathroom and a constant line. Be careful about the band you go to see. I think they rely on their name to get business and not necessarily the quality of show they put on. Line to the left of the door is for people with reservations. Line to the right of the door is for walk-ins (which they take a lot of). Food is decent. If you want the Brie, order it early they only have so many available.

If you are lucky enough to get tickets, you must go. Love the atmosphere! They have Shhh! policy so you are guaranteed to hear the show.

Amazing experience, beautiful people and a great time. We will be back. Get your tickets at sale time and don't be even a minute late or you won't get them!

fun and pleasant experience. Not too loud or obnoxious. Just songs. Great intimate setting with drinks and food.

Great place to catch a live show but you probably need to plan in advance. A lot of their shows sell out a week in advance and while they do have stand by seating for any no-shows you're not guaranteed entry. They serve food (limited menu, check their website) and wine/beer/mixed drinks. Not sure if it's always the case but as stand by for the show I saw we had $10 cover and $10 min food/drink charge. Enjoy the music and tip the staff!

Went on the Monday open mic night, no reservations required and had a phenomenal time. We got in line an hour and 15 min before opening and we're the last ones let in so line up early to guarantee entrance.
It was wonderful to experience musicians from all ages and genres in this cozy club. One of my best experiences in Nashville along with Shelby Bottoms Park.

Wonderful experience at the Bluebird! Staff was wonderful, food was delicious, singer was stellar!

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting on July 28 and it was such a neat experience. I am relieved to have snagged tickets! The performers were so talented and being at such a small venue is a welcome change.

There was a group of ladies that were giving a male staff member a really hard time at the front (as the group had made an error booking the correct amount of seats). I felt bad for the guy but thought he handled it really well.

We were able to get tickets to the song writers night. We had great seats and an amazing time. Getting tickets takes some planning, effort, and luck but it is definitely worth it!
