The East Room

Saw some amazing local music here! Not much seating but it's a great intimate setting. The bar is working on expanding their options but the service was very friendly. Would love to see an easy food option like popcorn or snack mix

No shortage of little entertainment venues in Nashville. There is likely some storied past about the East Room, but maybe not as well told as Exit/in's. When you walk in, you get the Exit/in vibe, like the East Room is its smaller sibling. Great staff at the door. Takes care of business, but with a personality and sense of not taking things so seriously. Decent bar and bar staff. Drink prices reasonable by reasonable person standards. Not the insanely overpriced Nashville standard. Nice little stage and audience area which keeps the place intimate enough you can feel a connection with the artists. Great sound. Basic stage lighting. You are going here to listen. We found parking in front and there was decent crowd the night we were there. No one was complaining about parking so must be doable without a lot of stress. Or it could have just been the crowd which was definitely local.

Grungy is the right word for this dark space, very plain, dark, with a stage, a small bar with a wide selection of beers, and 1970's style pleather stools. We went for a stand up comedy show featuring local comedians. The show was about 2 hours long with a $10 cover. They did tell us over the phone the cover was $5 but oh well, still pretty cheap. Those dudes have to make a living some how. Comedians were funny, crowd was laid back. Pretty cool music too. Very unpretentious.

We rode on down to the venue;To play with some fellas we knew;It was an okay scene;Not the best place I've been;But we sang till our faces were blue

My boyfriend's band has played a few shows here, and it's overall a pretty decent venue. There's limited parking up front, but you can park in the car wash next door for free.They have a pretty open area downstairs with fairly minimal seating, so I'm assuming more dancing happens here than I've yet seen. It did get a bit crowded, so depending on the act you're coming to see, come early if you don't want to lean against the bar all night.Speaking of the bar - decent beer selection, I think they might have some wine too. But they don't have liquor, so pregame before you come!There's an upstairs balcony with some extra seating, and this last time I was around they were using it for merchandise. Half this section is curtained off, so it is cozy up here.I like the casual atmosphere here, and everyone is quite friendly. It's a good place spend an evening and hear some stuff you haven't heard before.

My first time here was very recently and it was a pretty good space. It's a little bigger than I expected with lots of standing room by the stage. There are booths along the walls (maybe 3-5?) that seem like they were leftover from a restaurant. Two of the booths are behind/right by the speakers so sound was rough. The booth I was in was falling apart and I was a little nervous about it. There is a tiny bar with just beer. It really feels like someone's basement - kinda homey and relaxed. It seems like a place that is just about the performers and being with people - so it's not pretty and it's hard to hold a conversation. For that it's maybe 5 stars. I give it 4 because the sound wasn't great, seating was weird and the bar is really limited.

Saw Datenight here on Friday. The high ceilings and mezzanine are cool, the show was $5 at the door, and the music was pretty good. The place isn't too large, so it's always easy to get a drink at the bar and the staff are all pretty chill. There's a nice outdoor smoking area in the back where you can get away from the crowd between shows. The only bad thing is the bathrooms, there were fairly substantial lines between shows, especially the women's room.

Went to see some friends play music last night! Pretty decent place. Nothing jumped out and grabbed me as awesome. It was grungy but didn't feel dirty. So that was nice! At first we couldn't find the entrance..... so that was kind of weird. Sounded good in there though! They had a lot of good beer choices, which is great for people who love beer!! I don't though. They did have ciders which was good. But none of my favorites. I tried a new one I'd never had it was in a can... I don't like cans and it didn't taste at all like wild cherry. So some better bottled ciders would be cool:)

Rude employees, awful service, wouldn't accept my ID because I have a red badge that says I'm not 21 at an 18+ show

I've had the time of my life. And I've never felt this way before. I swear. This is true. And I owe it all to the East Room.
