Anthem

Nashville needs a place like this, but Anthem does not hit the mark. First of all, they opened the doors one hour after the advertised time. We bought VIP tickets and were supposed to get VIP bathrooms, bar, and private viewing area. They were not policing for non-​VIPers in the area, so in addition to over-​selling, there were people in the VIP area that didn’t have VIP tickets. It took over 20 minutes to get a drink at the bar, and worst of all, there was ONE bathroom in the entire area, for men and women. So, after standing in line for 20 minutes for a drink, you could stand in line for another 20 minutes to use the bathroom. Don’t waste your money.

Went to this shitty bar with a group of friends for a birthday party. There was only one white guy in the group of minorities and it just so happens that he for his cover waiver… No wonder why the bar is closing.

It’s a great place to go to listen to my favorite DJ
It looks nice the drink are good professionally done
The only thing that I didn’t like was that the place was so small needs to be bigger
Its still a fun place

I went to a fundraiser here — what a fun option to shake yo booty downtown. Good DJs are a nice switch from honky tonk haven and the layout is perfect for dancing and people watching.

Anthem is extremely cramped and makes a major deal out of selling «VIP» tickets. I did not buy VIP tickets but was able to walk up to VIP instantly not knowing where I was going.
The club promoters and their pals were allowed to dance on the stage while the bouncer pulled others off. In all my years and cities and clubs, I have never experienced something like that. Generally in «edm» it’s the fans that are supposed to matter. Not the drug dealing fiending promoters who will phase out in the next 3 months.
My suggestion. considering how expensive the drinks are and how cramped the space is. if you want to keep show kids coming back then change the attitude of this place.
Don’t make the music about the money.

A great place to go see a show or dance in Nashville.
Has very interesting seating setup, and plenty of different areas to lounge in!
This one of the largest and nicest clubs in Nashville!

I’ve never been treated better at any club in town. The amenities, the shows and the décor are second to none when it comes to dance clubs.

I went to Anthem for a private Unilocal event but I can honestly say that it is a gem. It exudes lots of style and the staff and bartenders were very welcoming to me each time I had a question or visited the bar! The handcrafted cocktail are pretty solid and bar service is great! In addition, Anthem has quite a few nooks and sitting areas where you can chat with friends or strangers. I also loved the fact that there is a lot of space to dance in the main floor level area in front of the stage. The club has a great set-​up that gives patrons various vantage points of the venue. From the top balcony there is a great view of the center dance floors and stage and great views from any of the bar areas or comfy plush seating areas. Overall, I thought Anthem was a charming club that I would love to visit the next time that I make it to Nashville.

Visited here not during it’s normal operation, but during a private event.
Cool space, I particuarly enjoyed the seating set up on multiple levels, including on the stage and the balcony. Great size dance floor, and nice incorporation of tech and lighting. Music was of appropriate volume for me to talk to my party and I thought the drinks were tasty.

Anthem is the go-​to venue for any nightlife enthusiast, multi level club with top notch DJ’s and mixologist. VIP is the perfect place for a more relaxed, private ambiance, offering a bird’s eye view of the Main Floor. They play EDM, Hip-​Hop, R&B, and Pop music.
It’s the best place to come for all of you new to Nashville, and not into the country scene.
I always have a great time!

I have only been to Anthem to attend Unilocal events but both times I have been I have enjoyed myself immensely. The staff are incredible. The drinks and unique and tasty and reasonably priced. The bar bites are always yummy. They have an excellent happy hour. And this is one of the rare clubs in Nashville, so as the night gets on it gets rather dancey in here. There’s plenty of parking and lots of space to explore with friends. I need to come here on a random weekend night to really experience this place but what I have seen so far has been really awesome and different for the Nashville landscape.

I guess this place is considered to be classy for Nashville, but to anyone that has been to a real live music venue this place is just average. It was barely more enjoyable than having a DJ at a high school dance. I will not be returning to this place anytime soon.

This venue had mediocre music that didn’t have mass appeal. Don’t get me wrong, it looks nice. Unfortunately, that’s the extent to which I’ll compliment this place. It was apparent as soon as I walked in that most of the 10 people who were there all night knew each other. Maybe it’s because I went on a Friday, which is Latin night? For the most part, the place was dead. The very few people who were there had a snooty air about them… the ambiance in general was very pretentious. That sort of environment is maybe ok in Miami or LA, but in Nashville it just doesn’t work.
There was nowhere to sit… not because there weren’t available seats, but because if you wanted to sit in a booth, you HAD TO RESERVE IT? WTF IS THAT? SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO PAY TO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE? CALL ME CHEAP, BUT I’M NOT WILLING TO DO IT JUST YET.
12^th and Porter across the street is a way better investment.

Went to see adventure club 7÷28÷13 at Anthem. Tickets were fairly expensive and it was a train wreck getting into the club. It was raining hard and they made you stand in line (with a pre-​sold ticket) outside in the rain for almost an hour… Then they wouldn’t let you bring your umbrella in so you had to throw it away :-/​.
In the club they had massively oversold the show. They sold over 600 presale and then a few hundred more at the door. It was FAAAR over capacity. You literally couldn’t move and the temp was almost 90 degrees (I saw a thermostat near the restroom). They could have sold about 300 less tickets and it still would of been too crowded. There were points where you couldn’t even get in the main area of the stage because people were stick In The doors…
Anyhow this club massively over sells shows and then scalps prices at the door. I don’t recommend it :-/​. I stayed until 2:30 AM and never even got to see adventure club because it was physically impossible to make it through the chest to chest club.

To me, this is a step in the right direction, inviting Nashville to diversify it’s venues. As far as similar decent club experiences go, there is only South and Seen, so this is a step up in the classy/​trendy club direction. I hope others follow suit and up the ante so they all improve.
Anyway, I’ve been here 3 times, twice for shows and once at the end of a night. It’s usually the same clubby environment, with loud music, primarily house. I really like the music, so it works for me. I’ve also actually tried their food, since I didn’t have dinner before going out one of the nights, and it’s not bad actually. Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but nothing too bad considering you’re in a CLUB.
The music is pretty great as well, assuming you like the genre. Definitely something energetic to dance to, and with good transition to keep people going. It’s also really interesting how they divide up the space, with a top and bottom floor, and a small bar area with different music that’s almost sound isolated so that you can talk even if there is a crazy show going on 10 feet away. I like.
Overall, this place is pretty great as far as Nashville goes — sure, it doesn’t come close to clubs in the other major cities (Miami, NYC, LA), but it is a step in the right direction. Kudos.

Ever been constipated so hard that you sat on the pot, leafing through magazines, reading shampoo bottles, whistling tunes, dreaming of how you’ll spend your sixth million, if you should wax the gap between your eyebrows, all the while forcing your gut into Escherian contractions just to do the big job? Remember that feeling of forcing something, and it refusing to come out? That’s how Anthem felt to me — a forced attempt at being a cool, hip night club.
Don’t get me wrong — with Red Rooster and South as the only options, Anthem offers a tasteful balance. But that is relative. Anthem’s tastefully dark interiors, two level seating, two bars, brick wall with projectors does come off as a classy place. But if anyone has ever traveled outside, and visited bigger cities like Miami, NYC, etc, Anthem feels half baked and affected. The music was loud and so-​so, the cocktails unsurprisingly average, and the beer choices rustic, the sterile interiors… my friends from Brazil were unimpressed. Heck, even I wasn’t.
On the flip flip side, I am glad that such a place even opened in the first place. This is hoping that other people decide to one-​up Anthem and open a truly mind blowing night club.

I visited Anthem because I was the lucky winner of two tickets to a splendid foodie event, a dinner by celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan. You might recognize her fabulous face if you watch too much Food Network (guilty!), she’s a judge on Chopped and has been on Iron Chef.
The chic Anthem setting was the perfect space for this trendy event. We were in half of the building space. The room had high open ceilings with little booths tucked into one side and leather lounge furniture sections on the other. The back wall of the room was the bar. The middle of the room was filled with one long table for the dinner. The color scheme was hard to distinguish because of the low lighting but the effect suggested that it would accommodate a number of colors and designs. The hostesses and servers were very nice and professional. Maybe it was just this event but the entire staff were trendy, young females.
The dinner was fabulous! The food was exciting and interesting (in a good not weird way). We were lucky enough to sit next to the owner of the space and his wife. We learned so much about the space and his plans with Chauhan to open her first restaurant in Nashville! Y’all, I ate the food and let me tell you, we are so lucky!
If you are looking for a chic, modern space to throw an event that is close to downtown, I would definitely schedule a visit at Anthem. The owner told me that he doesn’t just throw dinner parties; they host business functions as well. Having attended an event here I can attest that your guests will be impressed with what they see.

This place isn’t really my scene, but decided to check it out w friends. I thought it was professionally run, well staffed (almost overkill), and is a big space w decent décor. They made me take off my lid, which is fine, but then I saw several guys w hats. So… I’d encourage them to have consistency w the rules.

Omg Anthem is exactly what Nashville needed. The building/​décor is beautiful, the people are gorgeous, and the music is loud!!! My friends and I danced all night long and we had a blast. I came back that Thursday to eat at Revelry (the dive bar that is inside of Anthem).Not many people know about it yet but give it a little time and that place will be packed!!! It is open Monday-​Saturday starting at 5pm and doesnt close until 3am. It was freakin delicious. I started off with a tequila cocktail called Rise & Revelry and for dinner I had the Cheesesteak sliders. 100% will be back to both!!!

I attended the soft-​opening of this snazzy new multi-​faceted business earlier this week and was impressed with the concept.
Previously this space housed the club Mai but a complete over-​haul has happened with this newly minted space. Not only does this place offer a club atmosphere but also a restaurant, lounge, and venue space too.
Due to it being a soft-​opening and not being in the complete swing of things yet, I will update more when I revisit soon!
The official Grand Opening is tonight, Saturday, February 16^th.
