Great Music Venues

We are huge music fans and love to see live music, from which there is a lot to choose in the Magic City. Take a look at these recommendations, should you decide to venture beyond Case Rock Compound.
This is our favorite music venue in the city. It’s easy come and go, intimate, inexpensive, and happening. People watching on the patio is the best part.

This is our second favorite music venue. It has a couple of stages, but great acoustics and more importantly, seating.

This is our third favorite venue, built in an old fire station. Featuring GA seating with only a few tables, it still maintains that intimate setting that makes for great shows. The Grill at Iron City is the restaurant attached to the venue, which has great farm-to-table food and if you eat there the night of the show, you get early access to the venue to get a prime spot by the stage.
