Teddy's Tavern stands out among Nashville private event spaces thanks to its authenticity and warmth. Housed in the oldest building on Lower Broadway, we give your guests something special that's different from other private party venues in Nashville — three distinct levels with their own vibe, a rooftop overlooking Bridgestone Arena, live music energy and authentic Nashville character.
Private Events in Nashville's Oldest Building on Broadway
Choose Your Experience With Teddy's Tavern
Teddy's isn't a one-size-fits-all private event venue in Nashville. We have three levels, and each one delivers a unique experience:
Main floor: This is where the heart of Teddy's beats. Your group gets the full Broadway experience from a private event space with live music, cold drinks and that buzzing Nashville energy — all in one place. It's loud, it's fun and your guests won't want to leave.
Second-floor lounge: Plush seating, conversation-friendly acoustics and craft cocktails make this the ideal spot for groups who want to chat. The area accommodates up to 60 guests.
Rose garden rooftop: Take your private party to our Nashville rooftop event space and give your guests a view they'll remember — Bridgestone Arena, downtown and Lower Broadway stretching out below. The rooftop is partially covered and heated year-round. It fits up to 80 people.
We also offer full building buyouts for groups of up to 215 people who want to enjoy the entire venue for the night.
A Location That Makes Sense for Nashville Events
Teddy's sits as a private event space one block from Music City Center and directly across from Bridgestone Arena, surrounded by 40+ hotels. Your out-of-town guests don't need a rideshare — they can walk here. Corporate groups wrapping up conferences at Music City Center can head straight over.
Attendees catching a Predators game or concert at Bridgestone Arena are already in the neighborhood. Ask people to meet you at Teddy's and any local will know where to go.
Simple Pricing With No Hidden Fees
We offer Nashville private event pricing that people love because we don't charge venue fees, booking fees or surprise charges. You meet a food and beverage minimum based on which space you choose and what day you're booking. That's it. Your group eats, drinks and enjoys the space — and that spending counts toward your minimum.
