There’s no better night out in Nashville than a Predators game. Bridgestone Arena sits right on Lower Broadway, so you can catch live music at a honky-tonk, stroll five minutes down the street, and settle into your seat before the puck drops. Smashville fans are some of the most welcoming in the NHL, and with the season running through mid-April, there’s still plenty of time to join them, whether you’re a longtime fan or seeing your first game. Here’s what’s still ahead!

What to Know Before You Go
A little planning goes a long way toward making your Preds night a great one. Here’s what to know before you head to Bridgestone Arena, from when to arrive to what to wear.
- Arrive 60–90 minutes early for the Plaza Party and the Gold Walk outside the arena.
- Bringing kids? The Gnashville Fun Zone near Section 103 has street hockey, VR, gaming and photos with Gnash.
- Giveaways go fast, usually to the first 5,000 or 10,000 fans.
- Walk if you can. Downtown traffic is slow after games; if you drive, buy parking ahead.
- Wear gold and bring a light layer; the arena runs cool.
- Stick around after. Broadway is right outside the doors, and the party keeps going after a win.
Visiting from out of town? High-demand “GOLD” games limit single-game sales and resales to fans in the Nashville TV area, so pick a non-GOLD date.
Best Bars Near Bridgestone Arena
One of the best parts of a Preds game is everything happening right outside the arena. These spots are all a short walk from Bridgestone Arena, so you can grab a drink before the game and keep the night going after.
501 Broadway, Nashville, TN
Built right into the arena and named for longtime Predators broadcasters Pete Weber and Terry Crisp, this is the shortest walk to your seat. Grab pub food and a local beer on the patio, then head straight inside.
104 Rep John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN
An official Predators bar across the street, set in a historic building with three levels, a rooftop, and live music. Game-day specials include $4 Music City Light cans and $6 drafts.
128 2nd Ave N, Nashville, TN
Housed in the former George Jones Museum building, this sports bar is built around a massive LED media wall. It’s the spot to watch the game if you didn’t score tickets.
422 Broadway, Nashville, TN
The purple honky-tonk has been pouring drinks since 1960, with live country music on multiple stages from morning to close.
416 Broadway, Nashville, TN
Classic country bands and a no-frills Broadway feel. Order the Recession Special: a fried bologna sandwich, chips, a MoonPie, and a PBR.
Make the Game the Start of Your Night
A Predators game doesn’t end at the final horn. It spills onto Broadway, into the honky-tonks, and into a late-night walk under the neon. The best way to experience it all is to stay close enough that you never have to cut the night short. Make GoodNight Stay your home base for Smashville. Gear up in gold, gather your crew for a pregame at your place, and come back after the game with your voice gone and the night still buzzing. Skip the parking hunts and surge-priced rides, and enjoy a short walk between the arena, the music, and your own space to unwind. Pick your game, book your stay, and get ready to make some noise!
