This is a super fun place! Drinks are cheaper than anywhere on the strip. They have great music. Time in-between bands is very short. Small place but don’t need big and fancy to have fun. 3 stories but laid back. The rooftop offers great views of the street. Every floor is a good time getting to the roof. The bands this particular night were great! The Big Bass player in first band was Awesome! Second band Francelle, The guitar player sounded just like Alan Jackson! Clean place , friendly staff, bartenders are great and quick. Nice dance floor . I have been to Nashville twice and both times this bar has been the best, not crazy crowded like the others . I will definitely return when I’m in Nashville

Always a great time at AJ's! The staff are great and attentive and the entertainment on each floor is so so talented. When in Nashville stop at AJ's. They all work on tips so be sure to tip your bartenders and singers. Can't wait to go back!

I was so fortunate to have my first vocal student partner with me to fund a trip to Nashville. He is 80 and we loved singing karaoke here. I just wish the stage were oriented the other way to see out into the crowd more. The acoustics were the best anywhere. Great spot for taking videos, especially if you come early!

Something for everyone as each floor has something different. Live band on each except third floor where there was karaoke (pictured).

We make it a point to go to AJ’s every time we are in Nashville. They have quality entertainers/artists and the service is 10/10, especially Chris Vick the bartender. He made the best drinks in Nashville and is as genuine as they come! Highly recommend!

Drinks are good and karaoke is fun! BEWARE - you will only get up on stage if you tip the karaoke DJ. It’s a little silly they have a list if you can just tip to get above everyone else but.... It has been that way both times I’ve gone. Good for the DJ, not so much the patrons

Smaller bar downstairs but quite friendly staff and crowd. Good live music. Reasonable price beer for Broadway.
