Discover Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville; a four-level live music bar with rooftop views, nightly shows, and Bunnie’s on the weekends. When you think of Nashville, you think of music; not just any music, but raw, real, live music that spills out of every open door on Broadway. In 2025, Music City welcomed a new kind of honky-tonk hero to the stage, Jelly Roll, the multi-genre artist whose music speaks to the streets, the struggle, and the spirit of the South. And now, with Goodnight Nashville, he’s created a venue that lives and breathes his story. With live music seven days a week, and a nightlife scene that turns all the way up at Bunnie’s Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 

This isn’t just another celebrity bar, it’s a tribute to Nashville’s past, present, and future, rooted in authenticity and powered by sound. 

More Than a Bar… It’s a Soundtrack 

As soon as you walk into Goodnight Nashville, it’s clear this place was designed for music lovers. The moment you step through the door, you’re greeted with sound; not the kind that’s piped through speakers from a playlist, but the kind that’s made by real musicians, performing live

Every. Single. Day. 

Whether it’s a full band rocking out to country covers, a bluesy solo artist working a steel guitar, or a rising singer-songwriter debuting an original track, the music here is the heartbeat of the building. You don’t need a special ticket, a reservation, or even a big group. Just walk in, grab a drink, and soak it in. 

Live music isn’t a feature here. It’s the foundation

Nashville Rooftop Bars with DJs and Live Music 

Goodnight Nashville isn’t your average bar. It’s a four-level experience, with each floor offering a different vibe; but all tied together by one thing: sound. 

  • Ground Floor: This is the stage that sets the tone. The main level is where you’ll find the biggest acts, the best acoustics, and the most energy. Expect a rotating lineup of local talent, Nashville veterans, and out-of-town guests. No two nights are the same. 
  • Bunnie’s (Second Floor): More on this in a minute, but this is where things get wild on the weekends. 
  • Buddy’s Backroom (Third Floor): A more intimate setting for low-key performances, acoustic sets, or quiet cocktails with friends. It’s the place to go when you want to enjoy the music without losing your voice. 
  • Rooftop: With skyline views and high-energy DJ sets, the rooftop is the cherry on top. It’s a perfect spot to close out your night with a drink in hand and beats in the background.

Best Live Music Bars in Nashville 2025 

The concept is simple but powerful: no matter when you visit, you’ll always catch a live performance. Goodnight Nashville isn’t only a weekend destination or a tourist trap, it’s a daily dose of real music, and it reflects Jelly Roll’s own path. 

He didn’t come up through red carpets or record label handshakes. He came up through smoky bars, open mic nights, and long drives between small-town gigs. That story lives on in this venue and in the artists who now play there, following in the same footsteps. 

In a city where live music is sacred, Goodnight Nashville is showing out

Weekend To Do: The Party Hits Bunnie’s 

Now let’s talk about Bunnie’s. The second-floor club named after Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, known for her bold style, big heart, and fearless spirit. 

During the week, Bunnie’s is a stylish cocktail lounge with smooth tunes and a laid-back vibe. But when the weekend rolls around, the whole space transforms into a full-blown nightclub experience. 

Here’s what you can expect: 

  • Live DJs spinning everything from hip-hop to pop to Southern remixes 
  • VIP booths for private parties or bottle service 
  • Dance floor that’s always packed, thanks to killer sound and lighting 
  • A crowd that’s equal parts Nashville locals, Jelly Roll fans, and visitors looking for the real deal 

It’s the kind of place where the music shakes the walls, the drinks are strong, and every night feels like something worth remembering. 

A Tribute to the Real Nashville 

What makes Goodnight Nashville stand out isn’t just the music, or even the name behind it. It’s the heart of the place. 

This venue was built for Nashville by someone who knows what it means to come from nothing and still dream big. Jelly Roll’s story is stamped into every corner: from the décor, which reflects both grit and glamour, to the lineup of performers who aren’t just filling a slot but chasing a dream. 

The space was designed to give back to the music community, to fans, and to the city itself. 

Who’s It For? 

If you’re wondering whether Goodnight Nashville is a bar, a venue, or a club the answer is yes. 

  • Live music fans who want to catch a killer show any day of the week? Yes. 
  • Couples looking for a romantic night with live acoustic guitar and cocktails? Also yes. 
  • Groups ready to party all night with a DJ and neon lights? 100% yes. 
  • Locals who just want a spot with good drinks and even better music? Absolutely yes. 

It’s for everyone who believes music is more than background noise. It’s life, amplified. 

Final Thoughts: Goodnight, Hello 

Goodnight Nashville isn’t about closing a chapter it’s about opening one. It’s about saying goodnight to fake, manufactured experiences and saying hello to something real. Real music. Real talent. Real nights that you’ll be talking about long after they’re over. 

So whether you’re hitting Broadway for the first time or the fiftieth, make this place your first stop. Come for the vibe, stay for the sound, and don’t leave without dancing a little at Bunnie’s when the weekend hits. 

Because in Music City, every night deserves a good song and a good drink and this is where you’ll find both.
