Not just a tourist attraction. My husband and I get a sitter for the night and head to printers alley for a nice adult break. The jazz is great and so are the drinks. If we get drunk enough theres karaoke. Great food as well.

Nashville is a fantastic city with food, drink, and entertainment choices, which will amaze and intrigue you. Printers Alley is a wonderful niche.

A must visit. Very neat place. Good bars. Good music. Skulls is a MUST eat! Food is AWESOME.

Not much to do in the day time and with Corona nothing is really open. If you go, its best to go as a group and at night when all the lights are on.

Cool offshoot not far from the main strip. Went to Skulls for a fantastic meal.

Awesome food and live music. Loved Skullys!

Best of Nashville jazz scene, unfortunately still kinda closed up due to covid. Should reopen Aug 1st 2020. Lots of history here, worth the few blocks walk up from Broadway.

Best cocktails downtown and food is great too. Bonus factor, no country music

Be sure to check out Skulls Rainbow Room for that authentic speakeasy feel and great live music, even during the pandemic.

Lots do do and see, amazing food.

We started off here before heading to Broadway, I feel like that was the right decision. Theres a few good bars in the area, of course some music (it is Nashville), and nice people (again, its Nashville). Not sure I would say its a must see but if your in the area or planning on going to the main drag... its a good place to start being touristy

Nice place to catch some live music. We were there on a Thursday in February-not too crowded, no wild bachelorettes.

If you want a break from the Country/Classic Rock bands playing on Broadway and want to hear some blues head over to Printers Alley. We have seen many a great here on on numerous trips to Nashville. This area is always a must

One of the highlights of my trip in Nashville. Much less busy than the Broadway scene. But so much more enjoyable. Very cool bars and great food in the area.

The best! Great live music, great drinks.

Its a must if you come to Nashville

Variety of venues and food choices. Live music, DJ or just a kickback are all choices. Had an awesome time.

Tucked away off the main broadway drag, this back ally is a host to many fun cocktail, burlesque and karaoke experiences.We saw a a jazz and non-country focused set of performances and the drinks were delicious!

Fun area. Good change from Broadway.

Took an adult family here...had a blast. Crowded, odiferorus and fun as hell. Hardworking staff. A great side stop.

Definitely a fun area to have unique drinks, food, and fun. This area is great for a calm or wild night without the craziness of Broadway.

A do not miss in Nashvegas...the original entertainment zone

All I can say is you need to go there. We needed to get away from all the noise and crowd and it was a perfect ally. It seemed like it was alot more locals. I would suggest you go there at night around 8:pm. Everyone goes out into the Alley with their drinks. Side walk party.Y

So classic Nashville. Grittier, loud, something for everyone. Talked to the chef at Skulls and he was a character! Theres a more adult, casual vibe here. Check it out!

Great hidden alleyway with some neat joints. Skulls is Tommy favorite, but there is a English pub, and a couple of other joints there as well.

I was only out for a short time but it was a blast walking from one pub to another. Live music everywhere and mostly standing room only. Always felt safe.

Printers Alley was really cool. Tucked away with pretty string lights. We were first shown Printers Alley by a tour guide and later returned to eat at Skulls rainbow room.

A little escape from Broadway. And fun entertainment. Also just a cool place to walk through.

Super cool little alley with some really unique bars and music

Late night visit and went to Daddy Dogs on a Tuesday and it’s definitely worth visiting on a non-busy night

They really cleaned the house! 10 years ago that was a trashy sticky ole place. Now its hip its cool its cleaner

If youre looking for some Jazz and Blues Music head to printers alley away from Broadway.

Lots of great clubs with live music.

Best alley in Nashville to find cool bars. Its always worth a visit. Its dirty, dingy, and a litlle smelly, but thats part of the ambience. You might just like this spot.

Fun little corner of nashville with several good spots to drink. Avoids a lot of the honky tonk tourism too

Such a great vibe in this alley! Loved it! Definitely suggest a stop in Skulls Rainbow Room while there!

Cool place. Fun and great music in all venues

Very adult and very fun!!! Watched a beautiful burlesque show at the Skulls Rainbow Room and it was amazing as always!!!

Fun historic place, lots of great food and entertainment.

A very fun spot. Skulls was excellent.

A hidden gem that locals frequent. Great bars and eats

Very nice place to be a tourist and listen to live music.

So much fun!!

Cheap beer and hotdogs in a crockpot on a drunk Saturday night. What more could you possibly want?!?

Lots of great places to go to, that show you our city has more than 1 strip of bars.

I went to skullz down there, the alley has just a few bars you go down to get to the bars. There is so many bars downtown you also have them hiding in and around everything as they are trying to get more down here

Hipsterville... over priced drinks. Skulls is only thing good there...

Nice area. It was day time so not busy. Nice little shops within Alleys and street.

Such a cool spot away from the chaos. Very artsy with some gems to boot.

Enjoyed the night life scene, was a festive atmosphere. Go ahead and take in Printers Alley and Broadway, a close walk.Instagram _vartsana_

Very interesting to walk by during the night. The bars there were surprisingly lively for it being a Monday evening.

Off the tourists path nice to get away to

The arcade is a little more lively, but the alley is worth a go! Fun bars, and a very city feel.

Good people watching and some real good places to hang out

Some awesome places there like Skulls but man the smell in the alley itself turned your stomach.

We stayed in the lofts here. Very enjoyable and the food and music clubs were right out the door.

Kellys karaoke gave out $1 beer coupons considering how expensive beer is in the area it was worth it just to get the $1 beer. Cute little alley few different bars. Worth a stop.

Lots of cool pubs to hang out in and experience interesting ambiance !

Great spot to get off the madness of Broadway and a must see at night.

Looked great

Was a good find our last night in Nashville. The Blues bar was definitely worth it.

Great area with some really nice places to watch live music and eat.

Loved skulls! go if you can get in

Ate at Skulls restuarant awesome place

What a cool place to see.

Cool spot...make sure you park legally in a pay spot, and remember to pay. They will boot your car in a San Diego second!!!

Neat place with upscale dining.

Quite a few live music bars on this alley. Excellent quality and not as wild and busy as the Broadway bars.

Great place to visit, lots to do. Cool little Hideaway Market area

I miss the brass stables and Lonnies! bring those back and it gets a 6 star

Enjoyable quaint and upbeat. Great vibe.

A must see if you visit Nashville. Great music off the crowded Broadway strip.

Cool place to go see

Typical tourist fun! A Nashville must see

Really disappointed after hearing how great it was. Less than a dozen businesses, remote from the rest of activity in the downtown area.

Great atmosphere and wonderful choices of food and beverage

Awesome place to get away from Broadway.

When Broadway is packed. This is where you go! Amazing bars here

Can t beat jazz and blues!

A wonderful dinner in a historic place.

It was awesome, very busy street, music everywhere and bars galore.

Good little passageway with bars and entertainment.

Really cool street in Nashville.

A fun time and not as noisy as Braodway

Cool Nashville Vibe. Just has dirty streets.

Wonderful music, plethora of public drunkenness, not my thing

Hidden Gem right near the Broadway. Do check out snitch bar

Didnt get murdered

Make sure you see Stacey Mitchheart

Couple really good bars.

If youre a tourist, youll love it.

It is always fun to go there, parking is a bit expensive

Again. A must go to for music lovers. Real deal here.

Fun speak easy hidden away.

Meh, I hope theres more to the new Nashville than this place.

Unique and fun experience!

Quirky intriguing bars and locales

Awesome hide away

Fun for the whole gang

Awesome spot!
