Accessibility — built to be usable by as many people as possible
City Winery Nashville has made clear moves to be accessible. The main entrance on Lafayette Street is wheelchair accessible and leads you right into the lobby, concert hall, winery, and restaurant. If you need another route, there’s a separate entrance for private events and the upstairs lounge on the side of the building.
A few practical points from someone who’s seen guests navigate this place: Accessible seating is available — and it’s smart to tell the box office or reservation staff about your needs when you buy tickets or reserve a table. There are accessible restrooms and elevator access, which helps if you’re moving between levels. Service animals are welcome; give staff a heads-up when booking so they can make room and accommodate you smoothly.
Getting there and parking — downtown realities
Parking downtown can be a grab-bag, so plan ahead. There’s limited street parking nearby, and onsite valet is offered for $9 (complimentary for VinoFile members). If valet isn’t your thing, look for nearby lots and garages such as Lot 28 at 531 Lafayette St. and the Music City Center lot at 660 Lafayette St. You’ll save stress by arriving a little early during busy nights or checking parking apps before you drive.
Low-sensory accommodations — what to do if loud spaces bother you
While the venue doesn’t publish a detailed low-sensory plan, they do encourage direct contact for special needs. If loud music or crowded spaces are a challenge, call guest services ahead of time and explain what helps — quieter seating, early arrival, or a spot by the door. Guest Services operate Monday–Friday 10 AM–9 PM and weekends 10 AM–7 PM, so it’s easy to reach someone who can help coordinate.
Insider tips for locals and visitors
- Weeknight shows: Easy entry and a more relaxed vibe — perfect if you want music without the full downtown crush.
- Weekend mornings: Brunch events can be a nice way to sample the menu and the space without the evening crowds.
- Book accessible seats early: If you need specific seating, reserve early and say so — the box office can hold spots for accessibility needs.
- Plan for lines: Popular acts bring crowds. Arrive 30–45 minutes early if you want a stress-free walkin or to pick up tickets.
Why locals should care
City Winery mixes performances with a dining and wine experience right downtown, which makes it a go-to when you want something a little different from the usual honky-tonk march on Broadway. It’s handy for out-of-town guests, too, because it sits close to several central landmarks, hotel corridors, and convention spaces.
