A fantastic place to soak up live country music, tuck into some southern comfort food and knock back plenty of drink with your friends for one heck of a dang good time!

UK country music fans are always starving for a place to go where they can eat, drink and listen to country music non-stop! Whilst we, the UK are still building our own Nashville, there just aren’t enough Honky Tonk’s around to give us even a slice of Downtown Nashville! However, with country music constantly on the rise in the UK, country music bars, club nights and more are starting to open up across the UK and we couldn’t be more excited!

One place we have been extremely excited to hear about is Lil’ Nashville. A brand-new honky-tonk bar and restaurant in Chiswick, West London, country fans can get to be a part of Nashville right here in the UK. At Lil’ Nashville you can get to see some fine live country music whilst tucking in on some delicious southern comfort food and knocking back a drink or two….

Lil’ Nashville opened up its doors back in January 2025 and kicked things off in true country music style by throwing a hell of a launch party with the likes of UK Country superstar Kezia Gill.

The set up looks incredible with a stage so well placed that us shorter people shouldn’t have any viewing issues.

Helmed by husband-and-wife duo Rob and Helen Wood, Lil’ Nashville was born out of their passion for American country music and Southern culture. Regular visitors to the U.S., the couple has long been inspired by the lively honky-tonk scene in Nashville, Tennessee, and the fusion of BBQ, Southern comfort food, and country tunes.

Helen Wood explains, “We’re tapping into the incredible rise of country music in the UK, which spans generations. Our aim is to offer a space where people can enjoy the energy of live country performances while tucking into great food, all in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.”

The venue’s menu features a delicious mix of Southern BBQ favourites, smash burgers, and their own take on Nashville hot chicken, alongside a selection of comforting, family-friendly dishes. Guests can enjoy a variety of dining options while soaking in the best of country music.

In addition to live music at the weekends and a casual dining experience, Lil’ Nashville will host regular ticketed events, including the wildly popular Big Nash Bash—a high-energy evening of back-to-back live music, line dancing, and DJ sets. For a more laid-back vibe, guests can unwind during Sunday lunchtime acoustic sessions, offering the perfect way to end the weekend.

These events have some amazing ticketed options which include food so do check out the website for more info!

Rob and Helen Wood are thrilled to bring their vision to life in Chiswick, saying, “We couldn’t be more excited to share this piece of Nashville with the local community and beyond. We can’t wait to see the buzz grow around Lil’ Nashville
