The Blue Room is a historic venue located within the Graduate Nashville hotel, originally constructed as the Vanderbilt University Hotel in 1935. It functioned as a clandestine speakeasy during Prohibition and later hosted prominent figures like Elvis Presley during his early career when it was known as the New York Club. Restored to its former glory, The Blue Room maintains an intimate jazz club atmosphere with art deco design elements. It currently operates as a dedicated live music venue focusing primarily on jazz, blues, and related genres, hosting both local and nationally touring artists. The space is relatively small, contributing to its exclusive and immersive concert experience.
