Why it is worth visiting

Ernest Tubb’s name still belongs on Broadway, but the reopened business needs a current description. The official site presents a vinyl shop within a multi-level live-music and bar operation, including a rooftop. The address carries the history of a record shop founded in 1947 and its connection to the Midnite Jamboree; today’s visitor should also expect a Broadway entertainment venue. For a deep search through old country records or a particular CD, contact the shop first rather than assuming the historic inventory survives unchanged.

What you will find

A vinyl retail offering, live music and bars within the reopened Broadway business. The present official site does not establish the depth of used stock or a full CD department.

Genre strengths: Country

Getting there

417 Broadway in downtown Nashville, close to the Ryman and Bridgestone Arena. Use the current business website for opening and event information rather than an older closure notice.

Local tips

Separate the record-shopping plan from the evening programme. Ask about shop access and the title you want before visiting specifically for retail; entertainment opening hours do not explain every part of the building.
