My friends and I went out here to celebrate my birthday and it was great. The atmosphere is awesome. We danced the night away but after a while the crowd died almost completely;however, I credit this to the fact that not as many people go out on cold nights like that night was. When we left the MC ended up giving us VIP cards for our return visit. Overall it was wonderful and I cannot wait to return. I certainly recommend this establishment.

Pros: cool look, clean bathrooms

Cons: crowd or lack of as it got later and later

This past week I spent a bit of time in Fuel. I had heard of it in conversation but didn't really take notice until I saw in an advertisment that MuzikMafia and Ty Herndon were playing there. I expected it to be a cross between the old "BAR" and some of the regular music venues around town. I was DEAD WRONG. It's really nice inside. They've remodeled the inside and it's got a sweet "garage" concept going. The stage is nice and big, and the lighting was really cool. They had 55 gal. drums as the base for their tables and licence plates and hub caps hanging from the wall. It looked like there was a VIP area upstairs and another separate area downstairs where Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich and 3 Doors Down sat and watched the show! I didn't order any of my drinks (my friend made all the trips to the bar) so I can't tell you about the service. But I can tell you that he seemed to get our drinks pretty quickly and they were well made. As a girl, the bathroom has a big part in the score for this bar. It was clean and BIG. A++ on that aspect. Tuesday night was incredible. But, Ty Blew everyone out of the water on Wednesday night. He sounded great. The sound quality was outstanding. I could hear every word he sang and could see him perfectly no matter where I was in the bar. I'm glad this place is here. I've been on the website a few times and have seen a few shows that I'm definatly gonna attend. Not to mention it's a plus that they don't charge cover for most of the shows. All in all, I was really impressed. Kudos Fuel, for a job well done!

Pros: atmosphere, sound, crowd

Cons: parking as with any downtown venue

Growing up in Nashville, one would tend to notice how all of the downtown bars and clubs blend into one another. I always thought that downtown Nashville was one big tourist trap, specifically second avenue. A couple of years ago, I moved away from the area to persue a life as a professional bowler. After sustaining a career-ending thumb injury, I decided to move back. Last night after I finished unloading the U-Haul, I decided to call up some old friends and make a trip downtown. We parked on 2nd ave and started up towards Broadway, and I noticed that the old 'Bar Nashville' had a new sign out front. We planned on staying out pretty late, and it was only 6:30 so I said, 'what the heck, lets drop in and see how much the old dump has changed'. As soon as I stepped in the club, my jaw dropped. What was once a sleazy, run down joint is now by far the most unique and well presented venues I've been to in any city. Before I could take it all in, I was greeted by a smiling bartender (who was very cute). I immediately took advantage of the 2 for 1 happy hour (beer and cocktails!) and I settled into my chair. I was eager to see if the entertainment would be as impressive as the atmosphere. I know a little bit about music, and Ive been to my fair share of concerts... but I have never heard live acoustic music sound so rich and full. The music didn't get too loud or too quiet, it was just right. The sound guy was really on top of his game! Anyway, I think this a perfect setting to unwind after a long day at work. We decided to stick around after we heard some gossip about a huge show going down later that night. We saw the "Nashville Star" finalists warm up the room before the night's main attraction, MuzikMafia. I couldnt believe it- I was bumping elbows with John Rich, Gretchen Wilson, 3 Doors Down, Toby Keith, Jon Bon Jovi, etc.. and I was told that this was a normal, everyday thing at Fuel! I love this place- A+, 100% reccomendation!!!!!!!

Pros: Atmosphere, Sound Quality, Friendly Staff, Great Food and Drinks

Cons: I cant think of any

Nashville was a first time experience for me & my friend Mavis. We came to the see the Titans/Patriots game and wanted to find a bar to celebrate New Years Eve. Neither of us care for country music but were surprised by the band performing on the 30th. Eighties music incorporated into country rhythyms came from the band on stage. Most impressive was their rendition of Cyndi Laupers "Girls just wanna have fun". New Years Eve was quite the party!!!! Music by The Cosmic Blues Authority had the dance floor filled with people shaking their tail feathers to Rock & Blues cover tunes from the likes of Leon Russell, Steve Wonder & The Allman Brothers. A most impressive wall of tequilla at their tequilla bar with a staff who knew their tequilla gave life to some new shots on my palate & in my belly!!!! Hats off, weather it's a Cowboy hat or a Baseball cap, to the Fuel and their staff.

Pros: Great Staff & Drinks

Cons: Wished I had more time to stay in Nashville
