Bars Near Nashville’s New Nissan Stadium: Your Super Bowl LXIV Game-Day Guide

Nashville landed its first Super Bowl and a new domed stadium right across the river from Lower Broadway. Here is how the strip and the stadium connect, and why your night still runs through the honky-tonks.

The short version

• Nashville will host Super Bowl LXIV in February 2030, the first Super Bowl ever played in Tennessee.
• The game lands at the new Nissan Stadium, a roughly 60,000-seat enclosed dome on the East Bank of the Cumberland River, set to open in February 2027.
• That stadium sits a short walk across the river from Lower Broadway, so the bars you already know are about to become the closest party to the biggest game in the world.

Wait, Nashville is really getting a Super Bowl?

Yes. NFL owners voted to award Super Bowl LXIV to Nashville for the 2029 season, with the game played in February 2030. The vote happened at the league’s spring meeting in 2026 and passed unanimously across all 32 teams. It is the first Super Bowl ever played in Tennessee, and it puts Music City alongside Miami, New Orleans, and Las Vegas as a host market.

The reason the league moved now, four years out, comes down to the new stadium. The NFL wanted a modern, enclosed venue, and Nashville is building exactly that.

The new Nissan Stadium, explained

The new Nissan Stadium is a fully enclosed, climate-controlled dome going up on the East Bank, right next to the current open-air stadium. A few things worth knowing:

• Capacity around 55,000 to 60,000 for football, expandable for bigger events.
• A projected cost near $2.1 billion, which makes it one of the priciest stadium projects in the country.
• A target opening of February 2027, giving the Titans three full seasons in the building before Super Bowl weekend.
• A roof, which is the reason a February Super Bowl works here at all. No weather, year-round events, and room to host Final Fours, championships, and major concerts between now and 2030.

The current stadium is set to host its final Titans regular-season game in early January 2027 before the team moves next door.

How to get from Lower Broadway to the stadium

This is the part that matters for your night. The stadium sits on the East Bank of the Cumberland, directly across the water from downtown. From the foot of Lower Broadway you can walk over the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and reach the stadium side in about ten to fifteen minutes on foot. No surge pricing, no parking hunt, no highway.

That geography is the whole pitch. Most Super Bowl host stadiums sit marooned in a parking sea miles from the nightlife. Nashville is the rare city where the stadium and the bar district are one walkable bridge apart. Your pre-game beer and your post-game last call can both happen on Broadway, with the game a short stroll across the river in between.

Where to drink before and after a game on Broadway

If you are coming in for a Titans game in the new building, or for Super Bowl weekend in 2030, the strip is your staging ground. A few of the anchors, starting near the bridge and working up Broadway:

• Acme Feed & Seed, closest to the river and the pedestrian bridge, with a rooftop for skyline views before you cross.
• Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, the purple landmark with three floors of music and the most famous room on the strip.
• Robert’s Western World, the pick if you want a traditional-country band instead of a DJ.
• Honky Tonk Central, three floors and three bands, built for big groups.
• Nudie’s Honky Tonk, home of the longest bar in Nashville.
• The celebrity bars, including Jason Aldean’s, Luke’s 32 Bridge, Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa, and Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row for the big rooftop experience.

Most ground-floor honky-tonks have no cover. Tip the band, pace yourself, and know that the rooftops are where cover charges and drink minimums show up on big weekends.
