This is one of my favorite venues ever. Ive only been here twice. Once for 3 Doors Down and recently for Alter Bridge. There is not a bad seat on the balcony in my opinion. Same goes for the general admission on the floor. Its small, but you can see perfectly from anywhere.

My daughter and I just got back home from the War Memorial Auditorium. We went to the NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling) event and even tho it was bot sold out it was a great show. Watching some of the Japanese wrestlers is very dream like because here in the USA you can only see them on TV or YouTube so watching them live is very honorable, like they would say. And the auditorium its self is a very nice place, inside and out. If you have the chance to go and take your family, I would recommend that you do. For an even that you like of course.

Very striking place across from the Tennessee State Capital. The plaza area has interesting statues, fountains, and a memorial to fallen TN officers.Just a lovely place. Go explore this place!

This place is very nice and a lot of history. Came here walked around . Made my little read everything and learn about the history of this great Nation. After a while we sat down and had some lunch . Just super relaxing and beautiful place to come and visit. The best part is that is free lol.

Incredible amount of displays and its free! Covers time frame from Spanish American war to Vietnam. Mostly before Vietnam though

Came here for the Louis York & The Shindellas concert and it was fabulous! The speakers are loud and clear. I don’t believe there were any “bad” seats. The staff was very accommodating. Nathan and Jeremy helped me exchange my tickets and ensure I still had a great view. It wasn’t until I visited the balcony that I realized they’re all good. There isn’t much leg room unfortunately, but that’s due to the age of the building.

It honors our fallen soldiers of course!️ As well as, its a great place to exercise, sit hangout under the shade trees by the statue. And every Monday @5:30 volunteers give free haircuts, showers, clothes,and meal. Every Tuesday @7:00 volunteers give out free clothes and meals. Anyone is welcome. Rich or poor!And would like too mention that sucurity is provided by the TN. State Troopers.

This venue has no bad seat in the house! First time going we sat in the upper level and had perfect views. Take advantage of the state building parking if you go on a Sunday. Its free and about 2 blocks away.

Awesome time, trust me go for the upper level. There’s no bad seats and most people in the standing room area try to sneak upstairs.

I went here for my husbands graduation from UT . It was a lovely ceremony and a lovely place to have it. I love the old buildings and great for taking pictures. I would come back to this place if they had concerts. They do have the southern book festival here every year too which is fun because there are always a bunch of different authors.

What an open space cool history

We saw the Weird Al concert here and it was the best concert I have ever been to! The concert hall is small, therefore wherever you sit is a great seat! The bathrooms are nice and there is a water fountain. The only complaint is that it is somewhat hard to find if you are not native to Nashville. You will have to pay for parking and walk, so arrive early.

Attended a meet and greet event with John Cusak that was scheduled for TPAC but due to Johns filming schedule had to be changed to another date. This is the first time in the war memorial building for this type of event. We sat in folding chairs, with good views of the stage. For the meet and greet we went downstairs. There was a nice curtained area with a back drop for the greet and photos. The bathrooms were large and clean. There were soda, water, and popcorn refreshments and a separate area for alcohol.

I had s great experience seeing Macklemore in concert here. The venue is beautiful. The open floor plan for the concert allowed everyone to stay on their feet, stay excited and dance a little. They had seating for those who wanted it in the balcony. I also appreciated that it wasnt gigantic. Since its a bit more intimate, it seems like there isnt a bad seat in the house.

Awesome venue for concerts! Historic, beautiful and great acoustics!

Interesting memorial and landmark. I wasnt able to fully grasp all of the elements of this war memorial due to my lack of American history but the features and placards did help me along the way. Interesting bit of history here. Im not a war history boffin so I dont think I truly experienced it the way it was intended. However, I did learn a bit of history and enjoyed the views from atop the hill.

Not the worst place to catch a show, but if you’re over six feet tall or on the larger side of life, just know that the seats are TINY. There is virtually no leg room for taller people like myself. If you prefer to stand in general admission, probably a great place to catch a show.

They were poorly prepared for the concert I went to. They shouldn’t book acts that they won’t be able to properly accommodate. The speaker system blew out and they were not treating the performer well. They eventually forced him to finish early. I advise that a venue should do research on their acts and how the crowds are at certain genres of concerts. Don’t book a rap artist if you can’t handle their personality or fans!

The views here are really nice and the respectful presentation was very inviting.

This is a good facility for a movie screening & public speaking, and there is plenty of room to mill around, outside, before & after. The basement restrooms are clean, and the surrounding square is quite spacious.

Great place to see a show. Building has great acoustics and a ton of history

Seats were so tight together you were rubbing on the people you sat next to. Overall a nice venue. Very intimate.

Not a long time to wait, Parking is Great. Happy that my handicap tag let me park free at the meter .The Ladies behind the desk were very Patient and I think them for that.Have a Blessed Day..

Great acoustics! Had an awesome time seeing Monty Python and the Holy Grail, then listening to John Cleese talking with his daughter in a Q&A after the film! Will definitely be back to see a concert

This is a nice landmark but there was one thing I didnt like. There are lots of signs saying no skates, skating or bikes. I totally understand and agree with this at the top of the steps but it really limits peoples access especially in a city which encourages travel via scooters. The lower area below the steps could easily be skate-able without causing damage or safety problems and if they are still worried the edges of the water feature made of marble could be protected with anti-skate attachments. I think this would be much more inclusive for younger people and still maintain the respect required in the upper memorial.

Enjoyed myself at the legends gala event. It was a beautiful evening and everything was setup nice. The food and service was excellent.

This place is stunning, I love being here feels very safe and clean.

Loved it here. Awesome space, we were in the Walker theater to see a great battle of the bands. Will be back!

Ive been to a few concerts here before and the sound is ok and the setting intimate ...but this time I was able to experience the courtyard at night and it is a stunning place to say the least. The fountains just outside the doors are beautiful as well...dont pass it by!!

Thoughtful and artistically designed! Memorable experience for all ages!

Went to a comedy show...seats were great for the view but a little tight. Not necessarily handicap accessible building.

The concert was awesome. Great bunch of musicians.

Attended the Killswitch Engage show at War Memorial, and it is a very cool venue! Really neat architecture, and the sound quality was fantastic. Plenty of free parking provided in the state lots a short walk away, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!!!

Cozy venue. No bad seats in the place.

Excellent place to see a show. Right in the heart of downtown Nashvegas!

Come on down every Tuesday night and help out Beautiful eyes ministry feed and help and pray for our Nashville homeless friends. Donations are always welcome

Great historic place...Enjoyed the evening with William Shatner

Beautiful memorial space.

Room is nice enough, and there are no bad seats, but only one restroom in the whole venue.

Small intimate venue, very good for up close and personal. The will call procedure could use some help. Maybe a giant sign? Security could be quicker and more efficient. But, other than those 2 things, great place for an in your face rock show..

Great venue smaller and intimate

Cool outside of the venue but the acoustics on the inside werent great. Sound cut out a lot.

Small venue with great views, courteous and friendly staff, cozy environment, this is how love music in Nashville should be done!

Most the music venues of Nashville continue to have great sound quality at shows. After 100+ concerts over the last 4 years, War Memorial is by far my favorite. Floor tickets put you right in front of the band. If I ever know a band that is stopping here, then I plan on going.

I pass through the War Memorial several times a week and admire it each and every time.

Beautiful event space. Great place to see a show as well.

I love this venue! I saw Stone Sour here and it was awesome. Not too big, but not too small either. Not a bad seat in the place. The floor is completely open, and there are seats upstairs. Tickets were very reasonably priced.

History. Presence. Stateliness. But dress for little A/C. I still loved the venue.

I visit the War Memorial Auditorium at least once a year for the Its a Wonderful Life foundation charity event. Highly recommend that you visit this place of you like historical Nashville venues. Willie, Elvis, BB King, and JFK have all taken the stage here!

Truly a gem in Nashville - a beautiful place.

Great venue. Fabulous acoustics.

First time here, Hobo Johnson concert. Had a great time!

Nice little auditorium, we visited for markipliers youre welcome tour. The seats werent the most comfortable.

I absolutely LOVE attending concerts here! Best Venue for Major acts in Nashville! GA is always a up close personal experience w/ the Artists and also offers great VIEWS from the seating balcony! Be sure to check the website for tickets to events before you buy them through ticketmaster/Tickectfly or any event ticket supplier.

What an awesome venue to see a concert. Easy access in a very safe area.

Fast friendly service. The coffee was great!

I was invited by a friend to go to the War Memorial Building , for a Conference on the Right to Live Movement . We enjoyed a luncheon , and several Guest Speakers , then went to the Cordell Hull Building, for signatures to back , and vote in the that no abortions are to be legal , except it be done to save the mother . also to vote in a child to be accepted as alive at conception . It was a beautiful day and I pray we save our children . I t was a beautiful day , and the People at both places were kind , and welcoming . The waitresses, and waiters were professional , courteous , and took special care of all of us . The Band was also a delight .

A small theater tucked away inside of Legislative Plaza. The seats are reasonably comfortable with adequate leg room. Due to the small size, there really isnt a bad view from any seat.

Nice venue. Bathrooms are not very conveniently located.

Beautiful venue, staff was exceptially helpful. Easy pick up/drop off.

This place is huge. For me it was like going to see something built by the Greeks. Huge columns and an even large layout. There was only one fountain going, so it is probably a sight to see them all going. In a way with the city all hustling and bustling, it was peaceful. The city workers were putting on decoration for the Christmas tree in front of the capitol building, which is a spectacular view from here.

Fantastic venue to watch some great bands. Easy entry and exit, and beer stands are always close by.

We saw Conan OBrien tonight and had a partial view of the entire show because the speakers were directly in front of us. We had seats on the side of the auditorium and could not see any of the videos played on stage. Which was one of the comedians entire act. Our tickets were not indicated that we would not be able to see the entire show, or have an obstructed view. What we saw of the show was great, but the venue did a horrible job at making sure the show was visible from all the seats that they were selling full price tickets too.

Awesome venue, Great Alter Bridge show!!

The wma was a great place and the preformers. Was great thank you so much

Ive only gone to about 5 comedy shows but let me tell you this one was my favorite. The venue was incredible, it was very large and had lots of bathrooms and lots of concessions. It sounded incredible when the stand-up comic came out and started his routine. I found myself laughing through the whole thing and not once did I ask myself What did he just say? I would definitely come back to this location for another show.

It was a nice, large place. I feel like it could use some of the outside space better but it did its job.

Just wanted to say thanks, Out in the courtyard every Monday night theres a very friendly group of people that Serve Food, Offer Showers, Haircuts, and Clothing to Nashvilles homeless.

Love seeing shows at the War Memorial.

Great place for long nightly walks, becareful though the pavement is slippery when wet

Saw Haim and Lizzo here last year and hands down it was the best concert I have ever been too! We even sat in the balcony back row!

Beautiful sight to see. Would recommend to anyone that us visiting nashville tennesee.

We attended a sold out event at this beautiful venue. While the building is lovely to look at it, it was MISERABLY hot in there. The last time I was that hot was at an outdoor concert mid-day in New Orleans in August. Honestly, we nearly left midway through, and were relieved to get out when the talk was over. If you attend an event here during summer, bring a fan, and dress comfortably in something that doesnt show sweat.

I had a great experiance today at War Memorial building.It was really fun and nicely ran by their event staff on hand.Alot.of history here.Soda and snack machines as well as restrooms are located in basement.Had a great time

This is a good place to visit if you like history or classical architecture, good for photo backdrops.

Lots of good history in a small area/park!

The building is really neat shows are great there, but I am quite biased as I work there.

Interesting place to walk around

Cool place. Lots of history. Go downstairs an check it out.

Love the intimate setting of this venue. Clear view of performers on both ground and balcony is a huge plus for me. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Its amazing the view is great

Awesome place to see a live show! Acoustics are amazing

We had great seats . Was very comfortable . Only thing was a lady beside me wouldnt stop being rude with her loud laughing during the performance of all ,I couldnt hear well.

Hard to find (it’s underground) but great place to see a concert.

Love this venue. Saw Macklemore this last weekend. Great sound and not a bad seat in the entire place.

Saw a phenomonal Macklemore concert here. Love the intimacy of this place, small venue.

Great venue. One of my favorites in Nashville

Saw Griz here and it was amazing!

Pros:Amazingly beautiful building, with outstanding musical artists that are normally in larger arenas, easy to find parking even free in downtown is amazing! Staff is friendly & helpful.Cons:Opening musicians sound terrible- seems as if there is something amiss with the acoustics in the venue..Ive been there for 4 shows, and same each time: main headline artist knows when the sound isnt right & has to get adjustments made & THEN theyve been beyond Great- the opening bands dont have a chance it seems-time restraints or ?.. Either way, they may be great bands, but Ill never know lest I see them somewhere else due to feedback/reverb issues that actually hurt to listen to. Crazy lack of restrooms.Sad beer & liquor selection at $$$$$$.

Very dated, but great speaker system and not a bad seat in the place.

Great venue. Only downside is the bathrooms are on the very bottom floor which sucks when youre all the way on the top floor and have to pee during a concert

Very beautiful auditorium and everyone was very helpful. The only cons were the seating chart available didnt match where our seats actually were (nothing huge and we were happy with our seating) and the fact it was horribly hot in the building. I mean I get that there were a lot of people in there but it felt like the heat was on in the summer. Other than those two cons (which were nothing to fume over) it was a lovely venue. I will return because it was worth going to just for the things to look at.

Did the walking tour as a field trip today & learned so much... Great historical & informational field trip... Tour guide was very engaging, funny & knowledgeable... Too bad some idiot jogger yelled out some stupid, non 4th grade field trip appropriate & ignorant comments while jogging past the Andrew Jackson Memorial right before calling Andrew Jackson a sociopath in front of at least 4 classes of 4th grade students listening to the tour guide...

Great place to learn some history and remember those that have foght for this country.

Good place to learn bout military history

An amazing place for any venue you want to have there.

Besides the architecture and history, the great thing about this venue is that theres a large open area in front of the stage for those who prefer to stand and dance, and theres also a huge balcony for those who prefer to sit...The not-so-great thing about this venue is that people stand in the balcony anyway during performances, despite the huge open area in front of the stage for them to do that, blocking the view for everyone else sitting in the balcony.Also, humidity management seems difficult here.... and with $9 for a litre of water-level prices on concessions, you may want to hydrate before you arrive.

Great venue and beautiful architecture.

Beautiful venue have only seen speakers here but I assume its just as great for musical acts.

Very nice memorial. Great architecture and view.
