"Think of Robert’s Western World as the CBGB of Nashville, except here it stands for Cold Beer and Great Bolos. The original home of Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company is one of the last true honky-tonks left in Nashville. It’s also the best place to drink cheap beer and eat fried bologna sandwiches on Broadway. The owner’s band, Brazilbilly, has been the official house band since 1995, but there’s a steady rotation of live music every day. Hit up Robert’s on a Wednesday or Thursday night (especially if you’re hosting out-of-towners) for people-watching, when it’s common to spot a few country stars in the crowd. And, make sure to dance while Kelley’s Heroes plays their headline set. Two words: upright bass." - adam sloan
