Great little venue with a true jazz club vibe. Super intimate seating. Limited but tasty menu. Great service.We saw Regi Wooten n some crazy Cats. Incredible. Place is named after Regi's brother, so it was pretty crazy.Will go back every time we go to Nashville. Beats the cacophony of Broadway with a stick.

Amazing!!! So much fun and the staff is friendly. Stephanie wow what a wonderful singer. Loved her show. Highly recommend.

It was absolutely and sing. The musicians were fantastic and the atmosphere was relaxing. Definitely recommend if you love live instrumental music.

Tonight was date night! Exciting because we just haven't done many of these lately (thanks, covid) and it felt so special. My husband is great at picking places and activities and he chose Rudy's. I loved this place from the get go! We didn't really know what to expect, so I reserved tix online for a table for two. It was a random Thursday but in this new, hoppin' Nashville better safe than sorry. Glad I did, since all the tables were taken this night. There was other seating, like plush chairs, the bar, and some hard chair row seating...truly not a bad seat in the house but if you plan to eat, might want a table. The interior is dimly lit and hazy, replicating a smoky jazz dive but sans cigarette smoke (whew). There was one heroic server and a single Herculean bartender for all the patrons, but they managed so well. The place is small enough, cozy and quaint, to just manage it. The drinks were amazing, especially the espresso martini! The food tasted like legit creole, and beniets the perfect meal ending. My only regret is not ordering the seafood pies. My god, they looked divine! Next time! Finally, the music was so great. The band was engaging, the leader funny and clever. The talent unmistakable. Just a really perfect evening all aroundCan't wait to go back.

Love this place! Came in for happy hour on a Thursday and there was great music and an awesome and intimate cabaret-type vibe that's unique in Nashville, even with all the music venues. You pay at the entrance per show. Will definitely be back!

Great Jazz Club! Loved the dark intimate club setting. Almost feels like a speakeasy. The bathroom is covered with a really cool collage of jazz greats! I always get the Seafood pies! They are always made fresh and come out piping hot! The servers move with style and precision and provide great service! The owner is a wonderful and gracious host as well! Drinks are good and so are the bengiets. The musicians are always great. If you are looking for some great live instrumental jazz music in Nashville, this is the place to be!

We had a great time here. We came for a semi-open mic session on a Sunday night during a holiday weekend. We bought tickets at the door. Artists signed up to play and the house band coordinated who would perform for each song. If you want to play, I recommend coming early to make sure you get to play, especially if you’re a drummer or singer.We got to see a lot of very talented musicians and it was fun watching people play with each other for the first time and make great music. This was the most talented bunch of musicians we saw all weekend. If I ever come back to Nashville, I’ll definitely come again.

Awesome music on a near nightly basis. Multiple bands per night each band performing for a wonderful price.They have a large drink selection to choose from including a large choice of expensive top-shelf options.Accompanied along with a decent kitchen menu with some top of the line gumbo.

What a gem in Nashville! Skip the kitschy places and go somewhere with real atmosphere in Rudy's! As a performance venue, it was wonderful. An intimate space where even sitting in the back, we felt connected to the performers. The drinks were excellent (I especially dug the Espresso Martini) and the food was a magnificent accompaniment to the music, all for reasonable cost.

Had an amazing experience at Rudy's Jazz room. Loved the ambience of this place very much! My husband and I were there to listen to the Gypsy Hombres while visiting Nashville, and the band was great! Also had dinner at this place, and the food and cocktails were very delicious, the service was top notch. Highly recommend this place and would like to visit again when I'm in Nashville.
