So it was my last night in Nashville and I wanted to wrap things up with a dinner/show experience. I had missed the Grand Ole Opry show the previous night, and wasn't looking forward to paying for tickets to The General Jackson, which I've done in the past. The girl at the hotel recommended the Nashville Nightlife. At just under $40, it was considerably cheaper than the alternatives so I decided to go. Make no mistake, this has tourist trap written all over it, from the kitschy gift shop to the over the top cheesy emcee. The food buffet is just about what you would expect from a strip mall buffet - heavy on the grease, pretty light on the flavor (though I did go back for seconds on the fried chicken and meatballs- when you've made the conscious decision to cast aside better judgement, it makes the experience a whole lot more enjoyable.) Drinks and dessert are included in the price, but beer/wine is extra. The decor is very dated and has the feel of a mom and pop local venue just trying to scrape by. I initially saw that as a negative, but as the lights dimmed and the show began, I realized that it added to the hometown charm of the Nashville Night Life. The show itself was exactly what one would expect at a tourist venue, good and bad. Each of the performers played to the crowd with a forced sense of enthusiasm that made me question their sincerity. They all seemed to be former band members or backup singers of renowned country stars, and each of them were hawking their CDs in the back. In this age of auto tune and the plethora of competition singing shows, it's easy to be critical of such performers. But as the night wore on, I came to realize that they were pretty amazing musicians and singers. I found myself clapping and singing along to some of the numbers. If you look at if from a sheer economic viewpoint, the buffet was probably worth about $14.95. Was the show worth $25? In a town where there is free music on every corner? It's certainly debatable, but what is not debatable is the fact that I had a FANTASTIC time at the Nashville Night Life. Sure, it's a tourist attraction, but if you know that going in, you will have a good time. Would I go again? Maybe / maybe not Would I recommend it to others? Absolutely.

This was my 1st night in Nashville and this was a great start. They had excellent food and entertainment. It is a must see if you love country music and down home cooking.
