We did not eat. The drinks were good and the bands were good. Very fun. Small place.

Relaxed space that is great for listening to live music and grabbing a drink. Excellent for hosting a music event.

We came a few weeks ago to attend a concert on a Friday night. This is a really cool little venue!

Parking wasn't a terrible struggle the night of, though we wound up paying a small fee to park at a bar that was down one building. Honestly, I was just relieved we found a spot within easy walking distance. We arrived a few minutes late unfortunately and the lights were already a little dim so I couldn't see the place as well as I wanted. Our tickets and IDs were checked as we walked in. The venue is located on the second floor above another business. The steps are a little steep to watch your heels if you're wearing them!

Inside there's a small stage and a nice bar. Seating is pretty limited but for our concert the vibe was definitely super high energy/party focused so we didn't mind standing up to bounce and dance to the music.

The bar has a nice array of specialty cocktails. I was very impressed with the bartender, Marc, who was attentive, fun, and hardworking. He even went out of his way to help the performer when a few small details went awry on the stage. I don't drink super often and what I wound up ordering didn't taste quite like how I'd hoped it would, but I'm more than willing to chalk that up to my relative inexperience and general ambivalence toward alcohol.

The sound/acoustics were great and the whole place was bumpin! I would advise bringing ear plugs to protect your hearing if you're headed to a loud concert -- you'll inevitably be fairly close to the performer and therefore it can easily be suuuuuper loud with the mics and amps and whatnot. I had a great time but will try to remember mine next time!

The only main drawback was it got hot inside super fast. We stood by the open entryway for much of the conference and even that airflow wasn't enough to keep us from leaving very, very sweaty lol. Bring water!

Overall, a fun venue and a great night out for us! Thanks, TBV!

Dropped in for a show and a couple of drinks. Friendly staff in a nice intimate setting. Looking forward to seeing another show here. Enjoy

Best place to listen to amazing live music and best place to play at! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Any time we come to Nashville for music (not as often as we wish!) we ALWAYS hit The Bowery Vault. This is where you can see the best Nashville artists/musicians trying out new material, in an intimate setting with great acoustics and where the audience is truly there to listen to music. It has the best most authentic underground vibe in Nashville. Love this place.

This is a music venue pretending to be a vintage clothing store. We showed up to look at the clothes and there was a bouncer that did not want to let us in because of a “sold out concert.” We finally were allowed to look and all they had was two small racks of “vintage clothing” thrown into a cramped corner. I’m sure it’s a decent concert venue, but If you’re looking for vintage clothing in Nashville, don’t waste your time like we did.

Can get very warm inside but was a great experience!

It was ok. Im not impressed with the fact that online there was a $7+ service fee for tickets, and then at the door as well, a $15 ticket somehow became a $20 ticket. This place isn't worth that kind of price for entry with no liquor license and the limited drink menu, plus the limited seating and SRO. I think $10 is sufficient to charge to get in there. The sound was really good though for such a small venue. That was impressive. Also I'm never gonna be ok with a venue that doesnt have a free parking lot.

$4 in “service fees” for a $10 ticket at the door. And you can’t pay cash. High production fees to local artists = less money in the pockets of struggling musicians. I miss when this place felt like it was supporting a local community. Feels like a cash grab now. Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge, Vinyl Tap, 5 Spot, The Underdog.. other venues close by with cheaper cover charges & drinks. Not to mention more seating and better food.
