Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Great location. Close to lots of packing and restaurants. Can walk to Broadway. TPAC is clean, has a great atmosphere, lots of restrooms. Seating is comfortable. We are excited to go back for another show.
My first time at T-PAC was really fantastic! They had easy entry into the building and the staff was really efficient getting people through security. I was surprised to see that they didn’t scan tickets until you were entering the voms into the actual theatre. The building is really gorgeous and had great acoustics for the performance of The Wiz. I was also pleased to see that the drinks and food weren’t as wildly priced as they are at Nissan Stadium or Bridgestone Arena.
If you're adventurous theatre goer and willing to travel if not resident yo the local Nashville, highly recommend TPAC as an option for seeing plays. They have shows similar to those on Broadway in New York. ...plus Nashville has plenty of activities and things to do in addition to the theatre. Seats in TPAC are very comfortable and spacious comparatively speaking. Enough room for others to pass without standing each time. Staff offered friendly assistance and great directions to your seat. Very enjoyable play ---The Wiz--- the actors brought so much energy and vibe to the play. Must see!
The shows are great, as is the staff...we love TPAC except for...Grand Tier Ladies Room...it is small, the lines are long and slow, and the room itself is designed where all the stalls could be empty and you might not ever know. And the men's room...pretty much empty. Other than taking the elevator to another floor, there doesn't appear to be any other option. Particularly difficult if dealing with a disability. Obviously nothing that can truly be remedied but thought it worth mentioning for us older ladies with tiny bladders....
The seating and event were fantastic! The cost of beverages was too high. It is labeled as a soft target, so leave personal protection tools at home. I did feel pretty good about security, so I would recommend it for an afternoon of great entertainment. The Wiz was a great show and the talent was great!
