    If you are a Bon Jovi Fan you must come hang out here while in Nashville. We made dinner reservations - do be warned dinner is on Level 4 (up the stairs). Level 4 has a smaller stage away from the dining tables. Most of the action is on the main stage that can be seen from level 2 and 3. The rooftop is very nice with its own stage. The stairs were a lot (we found out after we got to level 4 there is an elevator at the back) but they hold some fun surprises. So tough it out as you won’t be disappointed. Huge Bon Jovi fan here and greatly enjoyed Coco and The Hash in the main stage the night we were there as well as the other musicians playing on the various stages as we explored the venue. Lots of great memorabilia to take in. ❤️

    Hard to navigate venue. Very pieced together. Had to find 4th floor and hostess stand for our reservation. First floor band was playing 80/90s classics. For dinner we sat at front window table. Enjoyed being able to see Broadway. Food was fair. Nothing to come back for. Drinks were unexciting and weak. Service was fine. Place was pretty empty so server stopped by frequently. We did not order another round of drinks. Would of liked to hear some BJ music while eating dinner. Fun to walk around and see JBJ items as we are fans.

    The environment was great but the food was not impressive. Our appetizer, chicken nachos, took forever and when it arrived it was cold, chips soggy. My husband ordered a steak and it was overcooked and my fried jumbo shrimp were undercooked - crunchy on outside but battery inside. While the ambience was beautiful the food was horrible! Won’t be going back.

    Awesome location. We had reservations on the 4th floor. Great views of Broadway and quiet eating experience at 5 before the live music started at 6.

    The food was fantastic! The ribs are amazing. Great service. If you love Bon Jovi, it's the place to be. Also, the bands were all very good!

    The atmosphere is great, but the understaffing detracts from the service; our server was very busy. Drinks were weak. Hopefully, this will help them get better,

    Restaurant is beautiful and love the atmosphere… Waitress was great and friendly, but she was just so overwhelmed! She was flying solo it seems for so many tables and needed help. Was not fair to her. Signature drinks are good, but off the menu not good. Apps are delicious! Get the cornbread and nachos!! Dinner was moderate. Ribs and chicken were very dry, pizza was luke warm…. Wouldn’t do dinner there again, but would definitely go back for a beer and apps.

    JBJ was a fun music filled place u would expect in Nashville on Broadway. Certainly don’t miss it. 2 footnotes. I had the catfish and for my taste it had way too much batter on. My wife had a flatbread and was very happy. Likewise the chips and salsa were very good. Second, not near enough servers. Which made the service slow and spotty at best. I’d come again and give it another try. So don’t not go on my say.
