One of my favorite clubs in Nashville. The only place that doesn't play country music which I love. I love when they play hip hop & top 40's. You can check out the calendar to see what they're playing for the night, the ambiance in there is great-definitely a mix of LA & New York. It's a mix crowd which I love. The manager & all the staff there are very welcoming, I normally reserve a table there when I go & the prices are very reasonable.

Nashville's lounge revolution continues. We've gotten Nashville's take on Brooklyn, LA and Vegas. the back corner is very Miami Beach. When I walked in I, immediately, thought of Haven (RIP https://www.yelp.com/biz/haven-miami-beach-2). From the LED wall to the music to the drinks to the vibe... I didn't feel like I was in Nashville anymore. the back corner stands out and gives Middle Tennesseans something that's not readily available in this area. If you're in the mood for a little coastal cosmopolitanness (is that word? It's not a word), the back corner is about to be your new favorite place. The neighborhood gets things moving in the right direction. For as much as Germantown has (scenic streets, fancy high rises, coffee, good eats) it didn't have a nightlife destination. Putting one here makes a lot of sense. Building off the 5th & Taylor imprint, the back corner starts off fancy (but not pretentious) and builds to memorable. Upon entry, the first thing you notice is the LED wall and stage. With a changing display of electronic intoxication, you're drawn into a world far away from Lower Broad. If you can break your gaze away from the stage, you'll notice the upper and lower lounge seating. Intimate, cozy and a bit mysterious, the seating at the back corner lets you decide whether you want to be front & center or if you're rather sit back and take it all in. You can be as public or private as you'd like. If indoor seating isn't your thing, make your way outside to enjoy the fire pit and Germantown night sky. Just do us all a favor and refrain from smoking. Seeing cigarette butts along the patio or by (in??) the fire pit is not sexy and very off-brand. All the above said and noted, the back corner is not a huge space -- which is a plus and minus. It's a plus because it never becomes the cavernous mess of bass and desperation. The minus is crowds gonna crowd and with a lot of people, the space will be tight. I don't know how to fix that. I suppose a velvet rope and waitlist will keep crowds at bay but neither feels very Nashville. Hmm... Another minus (relating to the size) is that there's only one bar. One bar in a space this cool is a bit tight. I know the space behind the bar isn't huge but I would staff it with 3 bartenders at a time so as to keep up with the crowd. Because you're going to want to drink. A lot. The cocktail program at the back corner is a bit unusual for Nashville -- and very Miami. Expect rum, colors and a boozy punch. Actually, the menu could use a punch. Get on that, tbc. Re drink progression... start with the gimlet. It's pretty to look at and refreshing to drink. All the mixers, juices, etc. are made in house so you're getting quality fare. From there, hit the No. 4 and, then, the No. 2. If you're still upright, drink some water. Water? Who am I kidding? Cocktails! You're in Miami, [redacted]! Well, sorta. If you need some noshes, 5th & Taylor is serving up bites. Don't come here for dinner. Who eats food? Let the music and booze nourish your body. As perfect as the back corner is for DJ sets, live music (this *is* Nashville, after all) works as well. the back corner isn't the Downtown dance club people have wanted for a (looooong) while. But it is a welcome addition to the city's nightlife scene and, very possibly, you're new favorite place to go. Bienvenidos a Nashville.

My review is based on visiting on a few Friday nights and as you can see, I give it all the stars! Nashville the Beautiful hosts To the Maxx with DJ Chill on Friday nights and the music is so on point. I love that there is a place to dance where you're not touching cheek to cheek unless you want to. When you first walk up, the doors provide you a last minute mirror check before you open the door to an evening of possibilities! You'll walk straight into the bar that is often packed and you can either wiggle to the left or right and head to the dance area or head upstairs and check out the scene down below. I love that you have options here. You can bring a group and have drinks and keep to yourselves or you can head to the dance floor and be greeted with smiles from other dance lovers. They also have some food options but I haven't been able to try those because I was too busy dancing. They have a full menu so whether you're a tequila sunrise drinker to a wine-o, they have something for you. Thanks TBC for providing a great space to dance to quality music and bringing a night venue to Germantown!

I live in the flats across the street. Nothing that TBC has done is wrong. The catwalks and open floor bar are pretty cool. But after stopping by for 6-7 times in the past 6 months, I can honestly say the people who choose to come here don't know how to be chill and meet new people. This realization came to a head tonight when I finished up at a work party (researchers, medical people, etc.) Uber nerds who don't know how to talk to people..... yet they were way more relaxed and chill than the people at TBC every time I've been there. It's a clique posse circle while people watching place with zero interactions outside the people you bring with you. If you have a small group and want to dance to club music and look at people while ignoring them, this is totally your bar.

Great experience coming here last night and it being closed on a Saturday?? Super odd :/ was really looking forward to it. Wish I would've known.

The Back Corner is exactly what Nashville needed! It's the perfect place for the locals to go to for a night out. It's literal the back corner of 5th and Taylor. Not a small place, but it's just the perfect size. It's smoke free, but there's a good size patio with a fire pit! There's no cover at door and no line! Score! We had table service right next to the dance floor and it was completely worth it with a minimum of only $350 and bottles starting at $150. But it choose not to bottle service, it's not hard getting a drink at the bar either. The DJ last night was pretty good, played lots of different genres! Great atmosphere and the crowd was a good mix! Will definitely be back for another event!

Well, being from the D.C. area, I am used to the over priced drinks and attempt at an exclusive atmosphere. It's when you have a 7'x7' bar area attempting to serve a supposed 2,300 square foot space of guests with 2 bartenders on duty where I think you may be you are setting yourself up for failure. I appreciate the attempt, and I see the potential. Lower the drink prices (you're in Germantown, not Manhattan), and add a couple of more square footage to the bar.

TBC is a great addition to Nashville's nightlife! A mix of dance club and lounge bar, it seems to have everything you might want for a good night out, including an outdoor patio with fire pit. There's no cover, which is a huge plus, and the staff/bouncers have always been polite. I've never been here for an actual show, although I've seen the DJ play some tunes and play videos on the large screen. There's also random couches on stage and apparently it's perfectly fine to sit on them while everyone is staring from on the floor. Music can be a hit or miss at times, but when it's good, you know everyone will be dancing!

Went to a private all white party Labor Day weekend and I was impressed with this spot. Since being in Nashville I've not found a grown and sexy spot yet. However, this event was everything. I hope there will be more to come.

This....this is what I've been waiting for in Nashville! I'm not a honky tonk kind of girl and I don't enjoy overcrowded bars with bad live music so this felt like a breath of fresh air! For one, having a DJ that is spinning house music is almost unheard of around town so definitely keep that up...please! The other really redeeming point to this lounge is that the drinks are good and they are inexpensive. I'm so used to going to new bars and paying $15 for a bad drink making it very difficult to order more than 1 without taking out a second mortgage. The Back Corner actually has drinks under $10 and they are delicious! The vibe in there is relaxing and cool. It's easy to go in there, make yourself comfortable, drink a couple cocktails and just chill for hours. Next time I'm going hungry because the snacks looked pretty great!
