Dierks Bentley may have his own Broadway bar in Nashville, however, there are some "original bars" that he'd urge you to visit first. He may be proud of his Whiskey Row, but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect the OGs.

The country singer recently sat down with Evan Paul on Taste of Country Nights, where they got into his favorite places on Broadway for a good time. Dierks Bentley is a pretty humble guy. He may have his own bar, Whiskey Row, but he points to several other bars for Broadway first-timers.
The conversation started when the topic meandered over to Miranda Lambert. She also has a Nashville bar, Casa Rosa, which Jon Pardi has recently named his favorite bar on Broadway. It's a pretty popular joint, it seems.
"She's got a great bar. I've drunk a lot of tequila at her bar. A lot," he admitted. "It's really well-decorated inside, it just feels like Miranda in there."
Casa Rosa is a hotspot, and it's only a few steps down from Whiskey Row. Although Bentley had a lot to say about Casa Rosa, he spared his own establishment a compliment. "Mine, I have the rooftop, which is one of the taller rooftops in town," he flashed. "So that's a good selling point for mine."
The Bars Dierks Bentley Points People Toward First
For Nashville newcomers, however, Dierks is quick to point out a few other non-celebrity bars.
"I always tell people, when you come to Nashville, make sure you go to Robert's [Western World] first, one of the old-school honky-tonks, then go to Layla's — go check out Legends [Corner], go check out those original bars," he said. I hope you took some notes.
"Then, if you have some time left over, go check out Whiskey Row and Miranda's bar."
When I go down to Nashville, I'll be sure to stop by those bars first before stepping into a country singer's bar. Although you'll surely have a good time in Casa Rosa or Whiskey Row, you gotta hit the classics first. Hell, you might find Bentley in one of them.
