Nashville is arguably America’s home of music. In fact, it’s nicknamed “Music City” and it has a long history of several different genres of music including country, blues, and bluegrass. Perhaps one of the many reasons why music is so predominant in Nashville is because it has amazing venues where live music can thrive, like the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Nashville Opera and of course, Ryman Auditorium, home to the Grand Ole Oprey. Suffice it to say that Nashville has made live music a core part of the Nashville experience. So if you’re visiting the city sometime, try to book a stay in one of the unique hotels or hotels near nightlife. To get a taste of some of Nashville’s finest, check out these great piano bars in Nashville, Tennessee.

If you’re looking for a music experience unlike any other in the city, then definitely check out Big Bang Dueling Piano Bar.

The concept is that there are two pianos on stage with performers “competing” with each other, playing music based solely upon audience request. Because of this, the night is always different so come, sing, dance have a drink and be merry at one of Nashville’s most unique piano bars.

3. V Lounge at Valentino's


Valentino’s is located right next to a hotel but is not actually part of it. It is one of Nashville’s finest Italian restaurants serving up some amazing dishes since 1991. The first level of the restaurant is your classic Italian eatery complete with a wine bar, tableclothed tables, and patrons enjoying their dishes but the second floor hosts some of Nashville’s most fun lounge bars. Catering to a little more of an “older” crowd, guests can come up here, enjoy some live entertainment and a few cocktails. Have a dance or two and maybe enjoy a little appetizer from the kitchen downstairs. The V Lounge at Valentino’s is a great way to spend an evening.
