Metal Mondays with guillotine is the best. The band can play all kinds of awesome rock music and do requests! I like this place so. Much because they have great live bands that aren't like every other place in down town, only bar I think with no country! . Great food too I think they just won Nashville best Philly sammich too so I'll have to try that. Bartenders are really cute too, I try to bring out of towners here when they visit

Bowie's is my favorite place to meet up with friends either on or off stage!! So many AMAZING acts to see, great food, awesome service, and a true one of a kind experience!! I highly recommend starting and ending your night there.

Such a wonderful venue! Cowboy Mouth usually plays at the Exit Inn, but let me say I adored the balcony upstairs of Bowies!🥰 Excellent waitresses! Great draft beers. We look very forward to more concerts here🥰🎸 …

This isn't really a cocktail bar the beer selection is just so so and the wine is served in plastic cups. Which is what you would expect from what this place really is....A music venue and when judged as such is a true gem in a city full of honky tonks. If you live your life off the beaten trail then Bowies is for you. Or maybe you just need a break from country and top 40 bangers? We walked in on a Tuesday night to a lounge style diva vocalist and a classicaly trained jazz trombonist absolutely crushing with a soulful bassists and pocket drummer backed them up. What a treat on a Tuesday night for locals with no cover! This is certainly going to become our favorite spot on weeknights they are closed monday but offer live music 6 nights a week!

Loved this place! Owner is awesome. They have a rockstar bartender who took care of us all night. Servers were great. And by far had the best band. Loose lips. So much fun. Reserve a table ahead of time on their website!

Bowie's is AWESOME! Always great live music, fantastic staff, full bar upstairs and down and the food is really good! Even stepping outside for a breather is cool. Loads of people walk by. Music City Stones is a must seek band! Contagan is a great 80s hair metal cover band, catch them on their rare appearances for sure! And Payton is the most fantastic bartender!
