About Cannery Ballroom
Cannery Ballroom (also known as the mainstage of “Cannery Hall”) is a large live music venue in downtown Nashville’s Station District. Housed at 1 Cannery Row, the building dates back to 1883 when it was a flour mill. Over the decades it served as a coffee factory and later a food cannery (hence the name), and even hosted a restaurant and country music theater in the 1970s (cherishedweddingvenues.com ). In the 1980s it became a permanent music venue, and today it’s one of Nashville’s biggest independent concert halls. Modern audiences know it as part of a multi-room entertainment complex that includes smaller stages, but Cannery Ballroom itself stands out for its historic ambiance and large capacity.
The ballroom blends old-world character with updated concert amenities. Inside are original brick walls, exposed wood-beam ceilings, and wide hardwood plank floors (cherishedweddingvenues.com ), giving the place a rustic-industrial vibe. A long 66-foot tiled bar spans one side of the room (cherishedweddingvenues.com ), and a rear lounge area has windows overlooking the Nashville skyline. These design features – high ceilings and warm brick – also mean acoustics tend to be quite good for live bands. In 2023–24 the complex underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation and re-opened as “Cannery Hall,” complete with state-of-the-art lighting, sound, and backstage facilities (www.visitmusiccity.com ), while carefully preserving the space’s unique vintage charm. The result is a venue that feels both historic and modern.
As a Type: Concert Hall and Event Space, Cannery Ballroom is notable for its size and versatility. In general-admission configuration the floor can hold roughly 1,000–1,200 people (the official standing-room capacity is about 1,275 (canneryhall.com )). This makes it far larger than a typical “bar gig,” but still more intimate than an arena. Signature features include the exposed brick loft-like interior and the expansive dance-floor stage area. Its position in Nashville’s music scene is historic: major touring artists and local stars alike have played here. Over the years the Cannery has hosted everyone from Iggy Pop and Lenny Kravitz to country-rock acts and R&B shows (cherishedweddingvenues.com ). In recent years (especially after reopening under new ownership) it continues to attract an eclectic mix of rock, pop, country and electronic performers. In short, what makes the Cannery Ballroom special is this combination of historic character, big-stage amenities, and a legacy as one of Nashville’s key independent venues.
Events and Programming
Cannery Ballroom hosts live shows almost every week. You’ll typically find two to four concerts or club nights per week, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Promoters fill its calendar with a wide variety of acts: national touring rock & indie bands, pop singers, country and Americana nights, electronic/DJ dance events, comedy shows, and occasional community or private events. In 2024, for example, the venue’s relaunch season featured electronic duo Tape B and EDM concerts as well as country-disco parties like “Western Dreamland” (nashtoday.6amcity.com ). Past years’ lineups have included modern rock groups (The Maine, The Story So Far), singer-songwriters (James Arthur, Lindsey Lomis), Bluegrass/Americana showcases during the Americana Fest, R&B acts (Lucky Daye), and even gaming-influencer events (CrankGamePlays). The variety is broad – Cannery Ballroom is known for supporting underrepresented genres (EDM, hip-hop, etc.) as well as alternative rock and country (www.visitmusiccity.com ) (canneryhall.com ). If you’re looking for what's coming up, checking the venue’s official calendar is best, but typical offerings include two big headliners plus one or two support acts per show, special electronic dance nights, and themed parties or festival showcases around Nashville events.
Notable and recurring events over the years have included annual Americana Music Festival showcases (blues and roots performances in September) and college tour concerts. Local music blogs often mention that during Americana Festival, the Cannery Ballroom fills up with Americana, blues and bluegrass acts. It also regularly hosts touring DJs and dance nights, reflecting Nashville’s growing electronic scene. Typical ticket prices vary by act: smaller local or club shows may be as low as $15–$25, while bigger national headliners can range from $30 up to $60–$70 or more. Barcodes on tickets often show general admission floor tickets in the mid-$20s, with higher-priced balcony or early entry upgrades available. Since the Ballroom often sells out on good bills, tickets in the $25–$50 range are common for headliners. Keep in mind that many concerts here are all-ages or 18+ (depending on alcohol service), so check the age limit listed on each event.
Tickets and Booking
Tickets for concerts at Cannery Ballroom are sold primarily through the venue’s official channels. You should buy tickets on the Cannery Hall website or authorized box office – third-party resale sites are not recognized by the venue (canneryhall.com ). When a major show is announced, tickets typically go on sale several weeks in advance (often via a presale first, then general sale). Sign up for the venue’s mailing list or follow them on social media to get pre-sale codes and sale dates. Pricing is set by the promoter and usually includes a service charge. Some shows may offer tiered pricing (for example, front-row or stage-side limited tickets), but most general admission floor tickets share one price, with possibly a few limited balcony seats or tables at higher cost.
To increase chances for popular shows, book as soon as tickets go on sale. If the show is sold out, it’s possible to buy at the door on event day, but only if tickets remain and usually only starting one hour before doors (canneryhall.com ). (For many sold-out concerts, all tickets will be gone well before show day.) The box office is located right at 1 Cannery Row on the night of the event; staff usually open it an hour or so before doors for on-site sales. Note that all sales are final – the venue normally doesn’t offer refunds or exchanges, so double-check the date and time before purchasing (canneryhall.com ). If a show is cancelled, the venue will typically issue instructions for refunds or credits (often directly through the original purchase method), but simply reselling your own ticket elsewhere is not recommended. In short: buy directly from the Cannery Ballroom (Cannery Hall) channels, arrive early to pick up or purchase your tickets, and be prepared that most tickets are final sale.
Seating and Layout
The Cannery Ballroom is mostly a general-admission venue with an open flat floor in front of the stage. There are no fixed seats on the main floor – attendees stand or move with the crowd. For certain shows (especially private events or seated concerts), temporary seating can be set up on the floor; in that layout the hall can accommodate around 320 seats for dining or up to 450 in theater-style seating (canneryhall.com ). But for rock and pop concerts, expect a large crowd on the floor with no personal seat. Some concerts do have risers or raised platforms along the back wall, which offer upper-level views with table seating for a premium price, but these are limited.
Because of this layout, “best seats” really depends on your taste. The front rows near stage give you an immersive, up-close experience (but note it can get loud and crowded). To avoid the densest crowds, many fans hang back near the bar or along the sides where the crowd is thinner. The open-back lounge area is popular for a slightly laid-back view – it even has windows facing the city. The venue staff recommends the center of the floor for best sound, but many visitors say the side sections by the sound board or near the long bar provide good sightlines without jostling. In general, anywhere in the large open floor has a good view of the stage, since the performance area is elevated. Regardless, floor spots can fill quickly, so arriving early to claim space is wise. Keep in mind that acoustically, the brick walls and wood floors create warm sound; most fans and engineers say the audio is clear no matter where you stand.
General Admission Floor: The entire main level is open to stand. Expect people to be shoulder-to-shoulder at busy shows. The stage is slightly off-center in many setups, so you may get more crowd pressure on one side. Bring a small bag or nothing at all for comfort.Balcony/Lounge Area: A raised section at the back (with the bar and lounge seating) provides a balcony view. It’s a good spot for a break and a city view, though it can be darker and further from the sound system.Bar Front: If you buy a drink and stand near the 66-ft bar or side walls, you’ll have open walk space and less jostling, though you’ll be off to the side of the stage.Side VIP Section: For some shows there are a few tables or premium areas along the sides or back. These are usually reserved or VIP tickets (check the event details). They let you sit/stand with a bit of separation.
A note on viewing: since the venue can be long, sometimes large shows use “delay” speakers and screens so people at the very back still see and hear well. But from most of the floor the stage is clearly visible once lights go up. If having a sturdy footing is important, keep an eye on puddles or slopes (the floor should be level and clean after renovation). Dress in layers – older brick building venues can vary in temperature if no one’s around, but can heat up quickly when the crowd and lights come on.
Getting There and Parking
Location: Cannery Ballroom is at 1 Cannery Row, Nashville TN 37203, in the Station District just north of the Gulch. It’s bounded by 9th Avenue (east), 10th Avenue (west), and Demonbreun Street (south). If you’re coming from downtown Broadway, head west on Demonbreun or 9th Avenue to reach the site. From I-40, take the Woodland/Demonbreun exit and go east a few blocks. The Nashville Music City Center is a few blocks east (for reference), and the venue’s marquee is visible from Demonbreun once you’re a block away.
Parking: There’s no dedicated private lot just for the venue except a small “Cannery Row Lot” (50+ spaces) that offers 2 hours free parking (en.parkopedia.com ) (often filling up quickly). Better options are the surrounding public garages: for example, the Pine Street Garage (~480 spaces, 6–7 minute walk) often charges about $10–$12 for a few hours (en.parkopedia.com ). A large garage at 821 Palmer Place (4 blocks away) or the Cummins Station garage are also in the $5–$10 range for evening events. Street parking is metered on nearby downtown streets (rates around $2/hour), but on event nights those fill fast. If you use a parking app (SpotHero/ParkWhiz), search for lots on 8th Avenue, 7th Avenue, or South of Church Street. The new Marriott/Westin hotels nearby offer valet parking (Valet from ~$25+ for a night), but note illegal towing or overcharges in private lots can happen downtown, so use official garages when possible. On busy concert nights it pays to arrive early to grab a spot, or park a few blocks away and walk in.
Public Transit and Rideshare: The closest Nashville MTA bus routes run along Demonbreun and Broadway. In particular, bus #15 or #51 on Broadway (8th Ave) or Circulator buses on 10th Ave are a few blocks away; check the transit app (WE GO Transit) for schedules. There is no subway or rail in Nashville. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) drop-off is often easiest on the east side of the building by 9th Avenue or directly on Cannery Row if traffic allows. After shows, pickup can be done in those same areas – drivers typically meet you at street corners since the venue door opens onto a narrow street. If you’re coming from Nashville Airport, anticipate about a 20–25 minute drive (6–8 miles west on I-40/440). The Station Inn and Greyhound bus station are about a 5-minute walk southeast, and downtown Broadway’s bars/restaurants are roughly a 10-15 minute walk (or a short ride) to the east.
Inside the Venue
Upon arrival, you will line up outside and wait for doors (usually 30–60 minutes before showtime). When doors open, staff will check your ID (for age verification) and scan your ticket. Expect a security checkpoint: all bags and purses will be searched, and only small bags (no larger than 12″×12″) are allowed (canneryhall.com ). Weapons, illegal items, outside food/drinks, and oversized bags are prohibited. Umbrellas and glow sticks, large selfie poles or professional camera gear (without prior approval) are also not permitted (canneryhall.com ). In short, bring minimal belongings: keys, wallet/ID, phone, earplugs, etc. If you have special needs (medical conditions, limited mobility, etc.), let the box office know ahead of time or arrive early; staff are trained to assist and can provide reserved areas as needed (canneryhall.com ).
Atmosphere: Inside feels like a large brick-walled loft. Lighting is dim by default, but switches to dynamic colored stage lights once the show starts. The sound system (an upgraded line-array rig) is powerful and covers the whole room. The crowd is typically energetic but friendly; people come to enjoy the music, dance, and socialize. Security/venue staff patrol for safety but generally leave fans to enjoy the show. Music ranges from rock concerts to dance parties, so you’ll hear heavy amplifiers and bass, and the floor may shake at full volume. Closed caption: concert may be loud – consider bringing ear protection if you’re sensitive.
Food and Drink: There is no full-service kitchen, but there is a well-stocked bar. From the long tiled bar and smaller serving station you can purchase beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. Expect popular craft and domestic beers, basic cocktails (including Tennessee whiskey cocktails), plus sodas and water. (One fan’s review noted the venue even offers free glasses of water as an amenity.) Bars take cash or card, and drink prices are typical for downtown clubs. There are no full meals available; if you’re hungry, plan to eat at a nearby restaurant before heading in. Sometimes small snacks or nachos are available at the bar area. Note: outside food and beverages are not allowed inside, as per policy.
Restrooms: Facilities are modern and tiled (renovated around 2023). Restrooms are located on the lobby level near the front doors, and there may be additional bathrooms up a short flight of stairs or around the lounge bar area. During big shows expect a line, so go early during a break. The wedding site notes “large tiled bathrooms” as a feature (cherishedweddingvenues.com ), so facilities are usually clean and spacious compared to smaller clubs.
Merchandise and Extras: Most concerts will have a merchandise table selling artists’ CDs, T-shirts, posters, etc. This is often set up in the lobby or just inside the main doors (look for band gear as you enter). The venue itself may offer limited merch (like venue T-shirts or hats), but the focus is usually on the performing artists. If you plan to buy band merchandise, bring cash (though many tables now take cards).
Connectivity and Services: The venue does not generally offer public Wi-Fi for guests, so cell service is your best bet. Attendees report that major cellular networks (AT&T, Verizon) work adequately in the hall. You can charge your phone at your seat-side or carry a battery pack if needed. Coat check is often available on a first-come basis (especially in cooler months) – look for it near the lobby or ask security; expect a small fee ($5-$10) if needed. Finally, when the show ends there will be a flood of people exiting through the same doors, so be patient and move out in an orderly fashion. If you need a ride home, step aside and order your ride-share or head for the nearby parking lot once the crowd has dispersed.
Nearby Amenities
The Station District around Cannery Ballroom is part of a burgeoning nightlife area. Right next door you’ll find cocktail bars and eateries that are great for pre-show meals or post-show drinks. For dining, the Gibson Garage (a retro automotive-themed American bar and grill) and La Casita Mexican Restaurant are within a few blocks. Upscale Riverfront fine dining like The Standard at the new JW Marriott is about a mile east if you want a special meal, and casual Southern BBQ places (like Martin’s Bar-B-Que or local hot chicken spots) are a short drive or rideshare away. Within walking distance on Demonbreun and 8th Avenue you’ll see brewpubs and gastropubs, as well as coffee shops – it helps to grab coffee or snacks beforehand, since most concerts don’t let you come and go.
If you’re looking for nightlife, downtown Nashville’s famous Broadway strip (filled with live music bars) is about a 10-15 minute walk or very short ride away. The nearby Gulch neighborhood (south of here) also has restaurants and bars, including popular chains and local eateries. For accommodations, the venue itself recommends the Westin Nashville and Margaritaville Hotel on Broadway, both about 3-4 blocks away (within easy walking distance). Other downtown hotels like the Courtyard Marriott or boutique inns on Broadway are also convenient. If arriving early, you could catch brunch or dinner at one of these restaurants – some Westin restaurants (like Rare Bird) are open all day. Late at night after the show, downtown shuttles and rideshares are plentiful; Broadway’s bars stay open late as well. For example, taxis or Lyft/Uber from Cannery to main Broadway venues cost on the order of $10–$15.
What Makes This Venue Special
Cannery Ballroom is special because it combines historic character with big-city show production. Unlike a generic club, this is a restored 19th-century building once used as a flour mill, so audiences get the excitement of a rock show tucked into a piece of Nashville history. Its 66-foot bar and original brick give it a unique “warehouse party” atmosphere you won’t find at new venues. Over the years it has seen countless memorable performances – from blues legends at Americana Fest to legendary rock tours. Notable past acts include Iggy Pop, Butler, Gregg Allman’s blues jams, and even late-night country showcases during CMA festivities. Local music writers praise its acoustics and intimacy despite the size (thenashvillebridge.com ). For fans, playing or seeing a show at the Cannery is a rite of passage – it’s known as one of the most band-friendly clubs, with owners and production staff that support artists (notable Nashville producers and engineers have been involved behind the scenes).
Culturally, the Cannery Ballroom has long been an anchor for Nashville’s non-country scene. In a city famous for country music, this venue has given a stage to rock, indie, jam, and electronic artists (genres often underrepresented on Broadway). Its presence has helped shape Nashville into a more diverse music city. Economically, the newly revamped venue draws crowds back to the Station District, supporting nearby businesses and jobs. Music City tourism benefits too – fans from around the U.S. and world add Cannery shows as part of their Nashville concert-hopping. Civic leaders and Nashville’s mayor have noted that preserving and reopening the Cannery Hall helps keep independent music alive in the city. In short, both artists and audiences love it because it feels authentic: you’re not just in a plain concert hall, but in a venue that earned its stripes over forty years on Music Row (www.visitmusiccity.com ) (cherishedweddingvenues.com ). The mix of history, sound quality, and cultural importance makes Cannery Ballroom a standout stop in any Nashville nightlife or concert plan.
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The venue is ADA-friendly. Wheelchair access is available at the entry, and there are accessible spots on the main floor and elevator access to upper floors. If you need accommodations (wheelchair seating, hearing assistance, etc.), contact the box office in advance or arrive ~15 minutes early so staff can assist you (canneryhall.com ).What to Bring: Bring a valid photo ID (drivers license or passport) if you plan to drink or for age verification. Use comfortable, closed-toe shoes (the floor is concrete/wood). Carry earplugs if you want to protect your hearing. A small/fanny pack purse (max 12”×12”) is fine; leave large bags and backpacks at home. Most importantly, bring your ticket (printed or on your phone).What NOT to Bring: No outside food/drinks, no full-size cameras, and no restricted items (weapons, fireworks, weapons, large umbrellas, drugs, etc.) (canneryhall.com ). Smoking (including vaping) inside the hall is not allowed; designated outdoor smoking areas exist for nicotine users (canneryhall.com ). If you have overexcitement (glowsticks, hula hoops, etc.), those are also typically banned (canneryhall.com ). The venue strictly prohibits firearms or any dangerous items (canneryhall.com ).Age Restrictions: Many shows are 18+ or 21+ due to alcohol license. If it’s an all-ages concert, expect no outside re-entry – once you leave, you can’t come back in (canneryhall.com ). Always check the event listing separately for age limits.Dress Code: There’s no fancy dress code. You’ll see people in jeans, band tees, and casual tops. Just be sure your outfit allows easy movement and follows the Tennessee alcohol rules (shirts and shoes required, no obscene or gang-related attire (canneryhall.com )). If you’re unsure about costumes or props, leave them in the car.Security & Entry: Plan to arrive early (30–60 min) if you want a good spot. Lines can form on the sidewalk, and staff may redirect where to queue – follow their instructions. The review of the old Cannery noted this could be confusing, so watch for all ropes or fences and listen to security as door time approaches. Once inside, keep your ticket handy, as staff sometimes check stubs again, and remember that you must be ID’ed to drink or re-enter in some cases.Forbidden Actions: No smoking inside. Do not block the doors when exiting. Most cellular networks work, but if you need to call a ride, step outside the hall where there is better reception and more space.

If you need to leave early, exits will be reopened at the end of the show.

No matter what, remember that event staff and security are there to help – don’t hesitate to ask them for assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the seating capacity of the Cannery Ballroom?
Cannery Ballroom can fit roughly 1,100–1,200 people when at full general admission. In the renovated Cannery Hall setup, the mainstage (Cannery Ballroom) has a standing capacity of about 1,275 (canneryhall.com ). Seating layouts hold fewer (around 300 seats for dining, or up to 450 theater-style with temporary chairs). So expect up to ~1,200 standing fans at a big show.
Where can I buy tickets and are there presales?
Official tickets are sold only through the venue (Cannery Hall) or its authorized resale partner. Typically tickets go on sale on the venue’s website or box office a few weeks before the show, often with a presale (newsletter or fan club) followed by general sale. Avoid third-party sites, as they won’t be recognized by the venue (canneryhall.com ). For popular acts, sign up for email alerts so you know the sale date, and consider buying ASAP as shows can sell out quickly.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Yes, if the concert isn’t sold out, you can purchase tickets at the box office on the day of the show. The box office (located at 1 Cannery Row) typically opens about one hour before doors (canneryhall.com ). It’s cash and card, subject to availability. However, many events do sell out online, so don’t rely on door tickets unless you’re sure seats are still open.
Is the venue general admission or are there reserved seats?
The Cannery Ballroom is usually general admission (standing) floor. There are no permanent seats on the floor level for concerts. Occasionally promoters will sell a limited number of tickets for seated areas (like at tables on a balcony or raised sections), but most tickets are for open floor. Some events that allow full conversion will bring in chairs, but generally plan for standing. For a wristband or reserved seat, check the specific event’s ticketing info.
What are the bag and item restrictions?
Security at the Cannery Ballroom will search your bags. All bags must be smaller than 12″×12″ (essentially clutch or small purse size) (canneryhall.com ). No backpacks, large tote bags, or outside food/beverages are allowed. Prohibited items include weapons of any kind, illegal substances, vaping or large smoking items, professional photo/video equipment (without a pass), and other hazards like umbrellas or hula hoops (canneryhall.com ). If in doubt, leave it at home – it will be checked at the door and you won’t get it back until you exit.
Is the venue accessible for wheelchairs or mobility issues?
Yes. Cannery Ballroom is ADA-friendly and offers accessible entry. Staff can hold a space on the main floor for a wheelchair and companion. If you need accommodations (like assisted viewing, seating, or an ADA restroom), please inform the box office in advance or arrive ~15 minutes early so staff can help arrange it (canneryhall.com ). Many fans note the venue handles special needs smoothly, allowing those guests and a helper to enter first and get situated before the show starts.
Can I bring my camera or record/film the show?
No professional cameras (with detachable lenses) or recording devices are allowed unless you have a media pass. The artist or show dictates photo/video policies night by night (canneryhall.com ). Usually cell-phone snapshots are tolerated, but flash photography and audio recording are typically prohibited. If you’re a photographer, you must apply for a house photo pass via the venue’s media program. Otherwise, focus on enjoying the show – short social-media clips on your phone are usually fine.
Is smoking or vaping allowed inside?
No. Smoking, vaping, or e-cigarettes are strictly banned inside the building (canneryhall.com ). This includes vaping. There are outdoor smoking areas just outside the entrance. If you smoke, plan to step out into the courtyard or street break to light up. Remember that the Cannery is air-conditioned and non-smoking indoors for everyone’s safety and comfort.
What is the dress code?
Cannery Ballroom has a relaxed dress code. Most people wear casual attire (jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, or casual tops). There’s no formal dress required. The only requirements are the standard city rules enforced by the alcohol commission: shoes and shirts are required, and nothing indecent or gang-related (canneryhall.com ). Costumes or large props (like staffs, masks, spiked jewelry) are not allowed. In short, dress comfortably for dancing. Comfortable, sturdy shoes are a bonus, since you’ll be standing on a concrete/wood floor.
Is re-entry allowed once I’m inside?
Re-entry policy depends on age. If you are 21 or older, you can go in and out (for example, to smoke outside) and return, as long as the show is age 21+ (canneryhall.com ). If it’s an all-ages or 18+ event, re-entry is generally not allowed – once you leave they won’t let you back in to keep underage guests safe. Whenever you do exit, be prepared to be re-searched by security as you re-enter.
What time do doors open and when should I arrive?
Doors typically open about 30–60 minutes before showtime. The exact time is printed on your ticket. It’s smart to arrive at least 30–45 minutes before doors if you want to be near the front or avoid the long entrance line. For very popular shows, fans sometimes line up outside much earlier. Keep in mind the venue will direct the lineup the moment doors are announced, so stick near the entrance. If you have general admission tickets, the earlier you get there (once doors swing open) the closer you can get to the stage.
Are outside food and drink allowed?
No. Outside food and beverages are strictly forbidden inside Cannery Ballroom (canneryhall.com ). This includes water bottles or snacks. You must purchase all food and drinks from the venue’s bar or concessions. If you arrive thirsty or hungry, eat and drink beforehand. The bartenders will have standard club fare (sodas, bottled water, beers, Mixed drinks), so plan on buying there once inside.
What forms of payment are accepted at the venue?
Cannery Ballroom accepts both cash and credit/debit cards at the box office and at the bar. It’s wise to carry some cash for small purchases and tips, but major cards (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx) are accepted for tickets and drinks. Note that some smaller vendors (like certain merch tables) might prefer cash, so have a little on hand just in case. ATMs may or may not be available on site, so don’t rely on them if you plan to buy merchandise or food.
Is photography or video recording allowed?
As a rule, professional photography or video (DSLR cameras, video cameras) is prohibited unless you have press/media clearance. Most concerts do allow amateur phone photos and short video clips without flash. However, each artist has their own policy. If it’s important to you (for example, taking flash photos), check the event’s rules in advance. In general, enjoy capturing quick memories with your phone, but leave the real studio cameras at home.
What is the nearby nightlife like after a show?
Downtown Nashville’s nightlife is thriving, and you’ll have plenty of options post-show. Broadly, the Lower Broadway strip full of honky-tonks is about a 10 minute walk away; those bars stay open late (often 1–3am with live music). Closer at hand, the Station District has cocktail lounges (like Pullman Standard) and restaurants that stay busy late, so you can easily grab a drink nearby. Rideshares are plentiful at night, but surge pricing can happen – budgeting an extra $10–$20 for a late-night ride is wise.
