Grand Ole Opry
If you can, avoid the peak season like summer. I visited in August, and it was packed! I think you get a better experience in the off-season when it’s less crowded.
I suggest buying your tickets online in advance. I waited too long and ended up missing out on a good seat! They often have promo codes too, so keep an eye out.
Bring a light jacket! The venue can get a bit chilly, and I regretted wearing just a t-shirt. Better to be safe than sorry, right?
I recommend doing the backstage tour. It’s a little extra cost but totally worth it for the inside scoop and behind-the-scenes access. Just book it ahead of time!
Ball & Chain
I recommend hitting up Ball & Chain by 8 PM on the weekends to avoid long lines and snag a good spot. It gets super crowded later!
My advice is to explore the outdoor patio; it's a cool place to chill and enjoy a breeze. But watch out for those pesky mosquitoes!
Studio 54
If you're into cocktails, try their signature drinks, but I suggest checking the prices first. Some can be steep, so maybe have a budget in mind!
I suggest using rideshare instead of parking; the parking situation seemed tight and it's easier to let someone else handle the driving.
I recommend showing up around 10 PM; that's when the vibe really starts heating up. Getting there too early can make it feel kinda dead.
House of Blues
I suggest checking the schedule online before you go. Certain nights have bigger acts, and you don't want to miss out on a great show if you can help it!
Think about buying your tickets in advance. I waited until the day of and ended up paying a bit more than I wanted for the show.
The groove
E11EVEN Miami
Don't forget to check out their late-night menu before 2 AM. I totally missed out on some great snacks because I didn't think to look until we were wrapping up!
9:30 Club
Check their calendar for upcoming acts. You might discover some local bands you won’t want to miss. I ended up loving a band I’d never heard of before!
My advice is to check out their social media for any last-minute deals on tickets. I scored some discounted entry just by being on the lookout.
I suggest arriving at least an hour early for the shows. The line can get really long, and you don’t wanna miss any of the opening acts! Trust me, it's worth it.
If you’re planning to park, either use a rideshare or get there early to snag a spot! Parking around the club can be a hassle, at least I found it tough!
Cowboys Red River
The Fillmore Philadelphia
Parking can be a nightmare, so I suggest using ride-sharing apps if you can. I tried to drive and ended up walking a bit because spots were tight.
If you wanna grab drinks hit the bar before the show. The lines get insane once the music starts. Trust me I learned the hard way and ended up missing part of the opener.
I recommend checking their website for any local discount codes for tickets. I found one that saved me a few bucks, and it made the night even better!
The Ailey Studios
I recommend checking their class schedule in advance. Some classes fill up fast, and you want to secure your spot without waiting!
