Nashville Webcam – Honky Tonk Highway on Lower Broadway

The Nashville Webcam looks east along Lower Broadway from the north side of the street, just west of 4th Avenue, where the neon sign of the Lucky Bastard Saloon fills the bottom-left corner of the frame. Across the intersection stands the brick corner of Honky Tonk Central, and beyond it Broadway runs on toward 1st Avenue under a long row of bar signs and rooftop decks. The crosswalks of the 4th Avenue intersection sit right below the lens, so the camera catches people walking between honky-tonks as well as the cars, delivery trucks and city buses passing through. The light changes the scene more than anything else. Early in the morning the low sun shines straight down the street into the lens and washes the picture out, by midday the crosswalks fill with visitors, and after dark the neon takes over.

About Lower Broadway

Lower Broadway is the stretch of Broadway between 1st Avenue and 5th Avenue in downtown Nashville, the honky-tonk district known as the Honky Tonk Highway. Live music plays in most of its bars and restaurants from as early as 10 a.m. until 3 a.m. or later, and the honky-tonks are known for not charging a cover. The Broadway Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 18, 1980.

The camera sits on the 400 block, where the Lucky Bastard Saloon occupies 408 Broadway. Honky Tonk Central, on the far corner at 329 Broadway, is the big brick building that fills the right half of the view. The tall vertical sign of Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row stands on the left, closer to the corner. Look past them and the 300 block carries on toward the river, its upper floors topped with rooftop bars that are often busy on a sunny afternoon.

A short walk north of this corner is the Ryman Auditorium, which opened in 1892 as the Union Gospel Tabernacle and was home to the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. Backstage space at the Ryman was tight, so Opry performers would cross the alley behind it to Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and the other bars on Broadway, and that traffic helped make the honky-tonks of Lower Broadway famous. Nashville itself is the capital of Tennessee, with 689,447 people at the 2020 census, and sits at an elevation of 169 meters (554 feet) on the Cumberland River.

Weather and Climate in Nashville

Nashville has hot, humid summers and short, cool winters. July afternoons average about 32°C (90°F), with nights near 21°C (71°F). January is the coldest month, with highs around 9°C (48°F) and lows near -1°C (30°F). The city averages about 12 centimeters (4.7 inches) of snow a year, so a white Broadway is an uncommon sight on this camera.

Spring and fall are the stormy seasons. Both are prone to severe thunderstorms that can bring tornadoes, large hail, flash floods and damaging wind. Between the storms, April and October are the mildest months, with afternoon highs of about 21°C to 23°C (70°F to 73°F) and evenings around 10°C (50°F). Because the camera faces east down Broadway, the first hour or two of daylight on camera is bright and hazy whatever the season, and the picture is clearest from late morning on.

Things to Do Near Lower Broadway

Most of downtown’s best-known music sights are within a few blocks of this corner. The Ryman Auditorium at 116 Rep. John Lewis Way North is still a working 2,362-seat concert hall. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a short walk south at 222 Rep. John Lewis Way South, and the Johnny Cash Museum is just off Broadway at 119 3rd Avenue South, with the Patsy Cline Museum on the floor above it.

Up Broadway to the west, behind the camera, Bridgestone Arena seats almost 20,000 people and is home to the Nashville Predators hockey team. Walk the other way, east past Honky Tonk Central, and the honky-tonk strip continues to 1st Avenue, where Lower Broadway ends near the river. 4th Avenue, the cross street on camera, leads to the Music City Walk of Fame, the Nashville Music Garden and the home of the Nashville Symphony.

الأسئلة الشائعة

What can you see on the Nashville Webcam?

The camera looks east along Lower Broadway from the 400 block, across the intersection with 4th Avenue. Honky Tonk Central fills the right of the frame, the Lucky Bastard Saloon and Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row signs stand on the left, and Broadway runs away toward 1st Avenue in the middle, lined with bar signs and rooftop decks. The view is fixed, so it always shows this corner.
