Cool place to check out local musicians. Got carded for the first time in 40 years!
The evening's entertainment was the "Tye Dye Jam" and it was great! Service was excellent. Parking was a bit tough.

Small venue, nothing fancy. Great for small concerts, acoustics weren't bad. Friendly service and good selection of drafts and mixed drinks. Liked the outdoor space to get away from the noise for a bit. Bathrooms a bit small/limited. Would definitely go back again to hear a band I like.
Oh how I LOVE this spot lol. First time back in a while. It was always Boom Bap for me but Funky Good Time was a great damn time. Come check it out and if not that time anytime. Great vibe and even better people. Come see the awesome dancers one pictured Ron break it down. Parking can be a bit much so Uber or get ready to walk. Hope to see you next time.
Come in a good mood. Excited to listen to some music. Planned our evening around it. Rude rude rude. Depressing suicide girls running the place. Hard to get a drink with four customers.
Was excited to hear the band. Not any more. Will never ruin an evening like that again.

Major over sell. In from out of town for business and we were looking for something fun to do for the night. We came across this place in our search, suppose to be soul music Sunday with music at 6. We figured this would be right up our alley. Information says place gets packed show up early….we booked tickets showed up early and the place was dead. Only paying customers in the place with only two more showing up before we finally left. Had to flag down one of the two bartenders every time for a drink or to cash out. Paid a cover charge to listen to the radio, still no live music by the time we bailed on this disaster.
A one of a kind place to hear FANTASTIC retro music (seriously their music taste is amazing--every song was a huge hit for me!), try dancing, and enjoy the night! Very hip, yet chill. Don't miss the opportunity to visit such a fun and hip joint!

Another great show! Love this dive bar. Saw Tajmaholics - fantastic musicians and a beautiful vocalist with spunk & charisma. Very experienced team!

SCORE! We got so lucky dropping in (After whiskey workshop) at 6 pm Tue - where the local songwriters thrive. Music and lyrics beyond belief good. We soaked in such a compelling spirit of melody. The TV series Nashville made me know the venue, but the live performances were well beyond the excellent recommendation from the show. Stunning Good Deep music. We listed to #TieDyeJam and Derek Hoke. Mike Miz, Josh Womack were fantastic but my Gold Medal for vocals, lyrics, message was Ginger Sands who I hope I hear again someday. She’s got IT songwriting for female empowerment that the world desperately needs to embrace.

Not what you typically think for a live music venue. It’s more of a bar with a large stage in the back left corner. Great acoustics given the setup. It’s in East Nashville, so a little more up and coming than anything you would see elsewhere. $10 for three bands the night we went.
Vibe is local which is always a plus whenever I travel. Definitely check it out if you like live music and are in Nashville!
