Second Fiddle

It may be the Second Fiddle, but it's one of my FIRST choices on lower Broadway! Always a fun and classic place to go while visiting the little big town of Nashville! More spacious and honestly better bands than places like Tootsies or several of the other "world famous" bars, smells a lot better too lol. They've got the best bar pizza on Broadway, great bartenders who give you your moneys worth in liquor, and bands that play all your faves plus some of the more nuanced and niche songs you've forgotten about but love. Mark Ramsey is a musician that's played there often for years, my personal fave as an oldie who keeps things fresh, so I've included some killer pics of him from our last Nash trip! Second Fiddle is a must see for every tourist, Bach party, and local looking for a good time on Broadway!

Excellent music! Awesome music! Live FANTASTIC music!!!!Service was nice. Beer here! It's simply a bar. With GREAT MUSIC.Don't get the pizza. Eat elsewhere.

Quite honestly, this might be my new favorite downtown Broadway music and drinking spot. The rooftop bar was all that and a bag of chips for service and liquor selection. Actually, I found real top shelf bourbon (Blanton's) and great bar service from the sweet server upstairs. I had been looking for a rooftop bar with great music midday and midweek, and this was the perfect spot. The crowd seemed to come and go, but the ambiance was perfect, and I had a view of the band and up and down Broadway. Fun times that I will be back again, not to mention... they are 420 Broadway!!!

One of my favorites on Broadway. Drinks are more reasonably priced and the live music is always great! They have 3 floors of live music and I always like the bands. They also have a wonderful rooftop which is my favorite. With many places to pick from this is a good stop. The vibe is always great and the service is always nice. Worth a stop.

We were able to get a seat here after seeing a show at the Ryman so that's a major plus. Drinks were good and everyone was enjoying the band. They played a mix of rock and country and one older guy was having his own one man dance party so that added to the entertainment. I didn't eat anything here but I'd come back again.

I absolutely loved this place. We came here to unwind after being in a business conference all day. We came upstairs and sat on the rooftop because it was a nice breeze and the inside was a bit warm. This is such a fun bar. It was not insanely crowded upstairs, despite us getting there close to 10 p.m. Our bartender was great and she was so much fun! She made some great recommendations. One of the drinks that I ordered was the Cats Meow. It reminded me of a ginger ale, but with a bit of a kick. I will say that they will sneak up on you after a while. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Second Fiddle. The staff was great and the drinks were reasonably priced. I will definitely visit again.

Had a blast on a Wednesday night! Sat at the bar and listened to awesome music. Jason Derlatka from Journey stopped in and sang a few songs with the band. Great crowd and delicious pizza. A must stop in Nashville

Tonight was so wonderful! I never get out on Broadway. I'm so thankful I made the decision to go. Deanna greeted me on the rooftop bar and made sure I was happy the entire night. She went above and beyond with not only me but with customers around me. I haven't been to a place in Nashville in a while where people knew the bartender by name and were excited to be there. It made me comfortable with my decision on choosing second fiddle. The atmosphere on the top floor is awesome. Live music and an overview of the city? What is to be beat? I didn't try any food while here but if it was anything like the service I'm sure it's wonderful.

Great live music of both levels and two different types of music. We sat on the first level and they sand country music on non stop requests from the customers. It was great. Some Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Brett Young, Taylor Swift, The Almond Brothers, and anything you ask. The band Andrew Mac was excellent with guitarist, lead singer who also plays the guitar, a fiddler, a drummer, and base player. They are always welcome all over Nashville to sing at all establishments for their energy and talent. Great venue to just relax w drinks and listen to live music with friends.

I am so grateful for Second Fiddle existing because I'm from California where bars allow you to wear tank tops. I was trying to go next door to Tootsies but was told I needed to wear sleeves in order to be granted admittance. I was a little shocked because it wasn't like it was a bad tank, it was a name brand! It was RVCA! Well luckily, the security at Second Fiddle's back door saw what happened and was nice enough to extend an invite to my friends and me. Legit, that was super awesome of him and this place was so much fun! The band upstairs was amazing, their rendition of Amy Winehouse's Valerie was top notch. The upstairs patio was conducive to conversation while still being able to hear amazing music from inside the bar and neighboring bars and it was really great to be able to give business to a business that actually wanted me there! I will say, I looked over next t door to Tootsies, where I saw patrons without sleeves. Yes they were women but I feel like I looked better than all of them! Kidding! Or am I? Lol.
