Variety Playhouse

Wow. This venue was so unique and interesting. I love it here!

I drove down to Atlanta to see a band that (surprisingly) wasn't coming to Nashville (it's rare!) and I am so pleased they came to the Variety Playhouse! It's located in a very eclectic neighborhood with a lot of interesting shopping, food, and bars. My BF and I stopped next door to get a coffee before the show too. How convenient!

Inside they serve popcorn, snacks, and a full bar. The venue has a good amount of theater seating along with some standing room in the very front. However, they are required to keep the aisles clear so you can only stand within the yellow lines, but I'm cool with that! The security guards were freakin awesome; they let me put my poster on the side of the stage so I didn't have to hold onto it for the whole show AND stood guard so that no one took it. Score!

I love the upstairs area too with a beer/wine bar and the bathrooms and extra seating. The Variety Playhouse does it right, and I'll have to come back for another show sometime (but not too often; can't make the Ryman jealous)!

Satisfaction was one of the best shows I've seen there

Went to see Abbey Road (Beatles cover band out of Athens) -  the venue folks were very friendly and nice. This venue has seats plus an area in front of the stage if you want to stand to watch the band. Clean and updated bathrooms upstairs. The concessions area served snacks, beer and cocktails at fairly reasonable prices. We enjoyed the show and the venue.
