- Robert’s Western World.
- Located on lower Broadway and across from the famous Ryman Auditorium, Robert’s Western World is one of the most popular honky-tonks in town, featuring The Brazilbillies! Honky-tonks are bars where live country music is played and going “honky-tonking” is a Southern experience that is not to be missed! Roberts fills up fast, so it is best to go early if you want to get a table.

Spring comes early to the mid-south, so by late March the daytime temperatures will typically be in the mid-60’s with plenty of sunshine. However, the temperature can (and does) drop at night, so be sure to bring a jacket!
