The staff is incredible! Desi, the manager makes you feel right at home. Taylor and Tiffany are the sweetest! And Anthony is the best bouncer ever! When you're here you feel like family. Also, out of all the "longer" bars on Broadway this one definitely has more room!

Second Fiddle is a great traditional honkey tonk on Broadway. The drinks are priced reasonably and the bands are usually pretty darn good. Definitely recommend that you give it a try on your next trip to Nashville!!
