Somewhere Off Broadway

Honky-tonks, hot chicken, music history, stadium nights and Nashville landmarks are all within easy reach of Rocktop.

We challenge you to find a reason to leave Rocktop Nashville. If you do, follow the music downtown, eat your way through the city or spend the day inside a Nashville landmark. These are a few ways to play away when the karaoke stage and pickleball courts finally give you a night off.
