Rudy's Jazz Room

Amazing spot; I visited Nashville about a year ago with some friends from college, and quickly became frustrated with how formuleic and overly-commercialized the city's music had become (hearing Country Roads and Old Town Road blasting from party busses for the hundredth time). We heard good things about Rudy's from a local, and weren't disappointed when we went to check it out!

The atmosphere is amazing, the musicianship is phenomenal (you can hear the musicians' unique styles/influences and how they play off each other), and it's super easy to just get lost in the music. Oh, and the people are super nice! We started up a casual chat with a couple of strangers between sets, and the waitress told us my friend's coffee was on the house when we asked how much it'd be!

This spot is the real deal, and you can tell people who work there really care about the place. I'd recommend it to anyone passing through, and hope you guys can open back up soon!

Awesome music venue and cool restaurant atmosphere. I went a few months ago (pre-corona) and really enjoyed one of their lavender cocktails. The food is some good fusion Cajun too!

Wonderful music venue that showcases world class talent in a unique and classy environment. Staff is very nice and works hard to create an unforgettable destination for high quality entertainment and dining in Nashville. Worth every penny!

Rudy's became a vital piece of the Nashville live music scene almost immediately. Walk in any night of the week and you're going to enjoy fantastic live jazz. It's like twisting off the red cap on that iconic contour Coke bottle and knowing the crisp, sweet flavor that awaits. Never surprised, never disappointed, cause there are some formulae you just don't screw with.

I did lots of research to find a local place with an original Blues/Jazz feel while visiting Nashville and my research led me here. My only criticism is the kitchen closes way too early for how long the venue stays open. The first night, we had to leave to go find food because we were starving. We tried again tonight, a Friday night early and we were successful. The food is good! We had the vegan gumbo which is pretty flavorful, the Crawfish grilled cheese and the seafood pie. We didn't have a bad selection and the live band was on point. I would definitely recommend this spot, if you're in town. There is a cover charge, as little as $10, but as much as $20, it's worth it
