The Mercy Lounge and Cannery Ballroom

The Mercy Lounge and Cannery Ballroom reside in Nashville's Historic Cannery building. The building housed a country music theatre in the late 70's and evolved into one of Nashville's primary music venues in the 80's and early 90's. Jimmy Cliff, Janes Addiction, Iggy Pop, Lenny Kravitz, Midnight Oil, Greg Allman, Robin Trower among other touring acts of the time played the Cannery.

The Mercy Lounge is on the second level of the massive structure with a standing room capacity of 500, a back bar featuring pool tables and classic pinball machines. It also features a luxury hospitality suite much like a Chicago or New York warehouse district loft complete with kitchen and bathrooms. The new Cannery Ballroom is on the ground floor and has also been renovated with new hardwood floors, large tiled bathrooms and a standing room capacity of more than 1,000.
