Loveless Barn

What a classy barn! (And no, I never anticipated composing those words into a sentence.)

Behind one of Nashville's beloved cafes, sits the Loveless Barn. Designed to accommodate larger events + serving the deliciousness the Cafe cooks up = success!

I had the pleasure of attending a benefit dinner and concert, and the acoustics were surprisingly great. Wonderful stage lighting too.

The barn can accomodate lots of folks, but still maintains a cozy feel. Very inviting.

The dinner definitely tasted great, but the food was rather cold. This was very surprising to me since I was seated in the front - one of the first tables to be served. One star lost.

This is a great place to hold an event, with additional areas to setup up a buffet style dinner if you so wish, as well as ample parking.

We've been here for several functions.  The food is great (and bad for you) .  Service is always excellent.  All of the events we've attended at the barn ends up being very difficult to see what is happening on stage.  They have plenty of stage lighting, they just choose not to use it.

First off, bring cash. If you don't, your experience may consist of being charged 20% extra to purchase a ticket, and as far as I could tell you will also not be able to purchase booze as everything was a cash bar.

I'd advise also poking your head in the door to see if you're going to get seating if that sort of thing appeals to you. I paid 20% extra for a ticket to sit on the floor after my legs got too tired to stand any more.

Finally a bench on the side opened up and I was able to sit and hear the performance, but seeing it was a bit out of the question until a tour group got up and left.

My experience, not so hot. When there was music, the acoustics were pretty decent, but not exceptionally so, I mostly heard the people on the side decks who were screaming to people 2 feet from them. This was made worse when the staff opened the closed garage-doors and the music was in danger of being drowned out.

Space was pretty great, the crowd was just plain odd as a mix of hipster and Florida tourist, not entirely sure what the vibe was, but it was not a music-loving crowd or an ambiance crowd. Quite odd.

Not bad, but enjoyment depends on a lot of factors
