Where to Find Analog Photo Booths in Nashville

Lower Broadway and Downtown

Acme Feed & Seed — 101 Broadway, Lower Broadway. A four-story bar and restaurant right on Lower Broadway. One of the most accessible Nashville booth stops for visitors already on Broadway for the honky-tonk strip.

Wild Beaver Saloon — 168 2nd Ave N, Broadway / Lower Broadway. A popular Broadway-area bar known for karaoke and mechanical bull, with an analog photo booth. Easy to combine with the surrounding entertainment district.

Fifth + Broadway Photo Booths — 501 Broadway, Downtown Nashville. Two Photomatica-designed analog photo booths at Fifth + Broadway's first-floor atrium leading to Assembly Food Hall. Having two booths in one location reduces wait time — a priority stop for Nashville visitors.

Wedgewood-Houston

The Blue Room — 623 7th Ave South, Wedgewood-Houston. Classic black-and-white analog photo booth. The machine was relocated from Third Man Records next door. Produces 4-panel strips. Cash $5, card accepted. One of the best-value Nashville booth stops: $5, card accepted, in an arts neighborhood with genuine booth character.

Third Man Records — 623 7th Ave S. Jack White's legendary independent record label and retail store. The vintage Autophoto-maintained booth is mechanical, chemical, and entirely analog — each strip is an original. A destination for music fans that makes the booth a natural stop in the same visit.

12 South / The Gulch

Pins Mechanical Nashville — 1101 Acklen Ave, 12 South / The Gulch. Nashville's arcade bar destination, known for pinball machines and classic games, with a working film strip photo booth. Arcade bars are excellent booth environments: the entertainment culture means the booth is maintained and used.

East Nashville

Sid Gold's Request Room — 3245 Gallatin Pike. A Nashville piano bar and singalong venue, confirmed in the Booth Beacon database as a booth location.

Practical Info

Cost: Nashville booth prices vary by venue. The Blue Room is $5 cash or card — one of the best prices in the city. Broadway venues may be higher given tourist volume. Fifth + Broadway Photomatica booths are typically in the $5–8 range.

Cash vs. card: The Blue Room accepts both cash and card. Broadway bar booths are more likely to be cash-only. Bring small bills for Acme and Wild Beaver.

Wait time: Lower Broadway venues get heavy foot traffic on weekend nights. Fifth + Broadway has two booths which helps. Wedgewood-Houston and 12 South booths (Blue Room, Third Man, Pins Mechanical) are quieter and more manageable.

Strip type: Third Man Records and The Blue Room both produce genuine analog strips. Photomatica booths at Fifth + Broadway are a more modern analog-hybrid format.

Planning Your Nashville Booth Night

The Broadway cluster (Acme Feed & Seed, Wild Beaver, Fifth + Broadway) covers the tourist-friendly end of the spectrum — easy for visitors already doing Broadway.

The Wedgewood-Houston run (Third Man Records and The Blue Room) is the best option for music fans and analog purists. Both locations are within walking distance of each other and offer the highest-character booth experience in the city.

Pins Mechanical is the best option if you want an arcade-bar setting with games, food, and a maintained film booth under one roof.

Tips for Getting a Good Strip in Nashville

Time your Broadway visit — Lower Broadway is busiest Thursday through Sunday nights. For Acme or Wild Beaver, aim earlier in the evening before the crowd builds.

Third Man Records hours — Third Man has retail and event hours that differ from standard bar hours. Check their schedule before heading to Wedgewood-Houston.

Two-booth strategy at Fifth + Broadway — Two Photomatica booths means you can bring a group without a long wait.

Why Nashville Works for Analog Photo Booths

Nashville's music culture creates natural booth habitat: bars, record stores, and entertainment venues all support photo booth maintenance and use. Third Man Records is the most obvious example — the Autophoto machine there reflects a broader commitment to analog formats. The Blue Room's $5 all-format pricing shows that newer Nashville operators are building for accessibility, not just novelty.
