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
