LOWER BROADWAY · NASHVILLE
208 Broadway, Nashville, TN
John Rich’s Lower Broadway honky-tonk with music from open to close.
The Redneck Riviera opened in May 2018 and is owned by John Rich, half of the duo Big and Rich. It runs about 8,000 square feet over three floors, including a rooftop, with two live-music stages, and it commits hard to a patriotic, military-tribute theme.
That theme is not just decoration. The ground floor is called the Heroes Bar, and it offers discounts on drinks and jerky to military veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders. The upper floors carry the theme through their names too, with a second floor called Richmore and a rooftop level branded Heroes On 3. The crowd is country-music tourists and groups, with a noticeable share of patrons drawn specifically by the veteran and first-responder angle.
The Redneck Riviera is a straightforward, high-energy honky-tonk with live music running at all hours. The thing that genuinely sets it apart is how seriously it backs the military tribute with real discounts rather than just signage. If you or your group includes veterans or first responders, this is an easy and welcoming pick. For everyone else it is a solid three-floor honky-tonk with a rooftop.
The live-music lineup for The Redneck Riviera is part of the Bars on Broadway schedule, refreshed every morning and night. Check tonight’s Broadway lineup →
