Tin Roof

Originally established near Music Row as a hangout for musicians to play, this Demonbreun Street spot keeps an unfussy edge even as the weekend volume ramps up. The schedule features performing singer-songwriters and rock bands alongside an energetic upstairs DJ, though the room also serves as an easygoing place to catch a game on screen. It can get very crowded and loud at night, with attentive bar staff and unexpected quirks like a clothing shop tucked by the restrooms.
