Cocktail bar and restaurant at 218 3rd Avenue North, across from Printers Alley, in a building from the 1890s. The kitchen runs as late as the bar. Closed Sunday.

A late bar at 210 Printers Alley inside the Dream Nashville hotel. Friday and Saturday only, 10 PM to 2 AM, with DJs rather than a band.
Fri and Sat, 10 PM to 2 AM
An English pub in the basement at 207 Printers Alley, with 14 beers on draft and a full food menu. It stays open later than almost anything else within walking distance.
Open until 1 AM, 3 AM Fri to Sun
Rooftop bar on top of the Noelle hotel at 200 4th Avenue North, looking out over the Cumberland and the AT&T tower. Draft and frozen cocktails. It closes at 10 PM, so it suits a show that ends early.
Open until 10 PM
222 Printers Alley, basement of the Southern Turf Building. Skull Schulman opened it in 1948. Elvis and Johnny Cash came through. Burlesque twice nightly Thursday through Sunday. Nashville's only downtown jazz lounge. The checkerboard stage is original.

Three floors on Broadway at Fifth: a bar at street level, a supper club above it, and a rooftop on top. The rooftop is the reason to go.
