#7: The Bluebird Cafe (Nashville)
The Bluebird Cafe became known from Nashville, but it’s been a music hotspot for decades. Located just outside downtown, it seats under 100 and hosts up-and-coming artists like Garth Brooks before fame. Visitors can enjoy drinks, sandwiches, and live music. It’s small, intimate, and one of the best spots to hear Nashville songwriters in action.
