The Row Kitchen & Pub Lot
Two free hours in the lot for The Row customers, no validation
FreeRestaurant
The Row Kitchen & Pub is the Southern food and live music spot at 110 Lyle Ave, just off Music Row, open early for breakfast and late for the bar. Its lot is free for customers for two hours, with no validation to bother with. The restaurant told us that by phone on 11/4/26. It's for people eating or drinking at The Row, so don't treat it as free parking for a Music Row walk or a Vanderbilt game. We haven't been there in person. The pin is the restaurant.

Vida-Flo Demonbreun lot
Free parking next to the building at Vida-Flo on Demonbreun
FreeSurface lot
Vida-Flo's page says there is free parking next to its building at 1516 Demonbreun St, on Demonbreun Hill next to Tin Roof. It also says there's a paid lot nearby where Vida-Flo clients get their first hour free, without naming that lot. The page doesn't say how big the free lot is or whether it's for clients only.

90 free minutes in the attached garage for café customers
ValidatedBakery
Cocorico French Bakery & Café says on its own site that customers get 90 minutes of validated parking in the garage attached to Roundabout Plaza. The garage entrance is just past the café on the right, and you ask someone at the counter to validate. Ninety minutes is plenty for coffee and a croissant or a working lunch. One catch: the building's own parking page says the garage is open only to tenants on Sundays, while the café is open Sundays and doesn't mention it. Until that's settled, don't count on the garage on a Sunday. Pin is the garage entrance.

Shakti Power Yoga, at 65 Music Square East, gives students two options. The paved lot next to the studio is paid: scan the QR code in the lot, enter your information and use the code SHAKTI for 90 minutes of parking for $5. The studio also says you can park directly behind the studio for free, and there's street parking in the neighborhood. It doesn't say who runs the paid lot, what it costs without the code, or whether the spaces behind are for students only. It does warn that construction nearby slows parking, so give yourself a few extra minutes. Shakti's FAQ read 11/9/26. We haven't been there in person. The pin is the studio.
$8 valet if you eat or drink at the hotel, with validation
ValidatedHotel valet
Virgin Hotels Nashville is valet only, with no self-parking. Eat or drink at one of the hotel's restaurants or bars, get validated, and valet is $8. The page doesn't say how long the $8 covers, which spots in the hotel count, or where you get validated, so ask your server. The only other prices posted are overnight: $52 a night plus tax with in-and-out, or $62 for trucks and big SUVs. The page doesn't list a shorter rate for people who aren't eating there. Valet runs 24/7. The hotel's page isn't dated and was read 11/3/26. We haven't been there in person. The pin is the hotel building.
Metropolis lot on Music Row, entrance at 1010 18th Ave S. Metropolis's page on 10/14 shows a range for each stay: $3.20 to $4.76 up to 1 hour, $4.80 to $7.14 up to 2, $8 to $11.90 up to 4, $12 to $17.85 up to 6, $16 to $23.80 for the day. It doesn't say what decides where in the range you land, so check the screen before you pay. Read 10/14/26. We haven't been there in person. The pin is the lot.
Sits at the south end of Music Row where it runs into Edgehill, so it is a decent walk-from for either. SP+ has it open 24/7 and self-park, and says overnight parking is not allowed, but does not publish what hour counts as overnight, so do not push it. No rate is posted: SP+ quotes you a price only after you put in an entry and exit time, so you cannot compare it against a meter in advance. Booking ahead through the operator is an option if you know your window.
Indoor self-park at the 18th & Chet building, entrance at 816 18th Ave S. The operator's page on parking.com lists an 8 foot 2 inch height limit and open 24/7, but says overnight parking isn't allowed. It says drive-up rates apply without posting them, so check the price at the entrance. Read 10/14/26. We haven't been there in person. The pin is the building.
Right in the middle of the Row. SP+ lists it open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and in the same breath says overnight parking is not allowed, which is the contradiction that catches people. Open all night does not mean you can leave the car all night. No rate is posted online, so it is drive-up pricing and you find out at the gate. Handy for a session or a writers round on 16th, not a place to leave a car while you go downtown.
The garage at the Moore Building, entrance at 827 19th Ave S. The operator's page on parking.com lists it as open 24/7 but says overnight parking isn't allowed. It says drive-up rates apply without posting them, so check the price at the entrance. Highland Yoga, in the building's breezeway, says it offers free validated parking in this garage, with access off 19th. It doesn't say for how long or how you validate, so ask at the front desk before class. Operator page read 10/14/26, Highland Yoga page read 11/9/26. We haven't been there in person. The pin is the garage.
Music Row sits outside Metro's central parking district, so the meters are on the cheaper ladder: $2 an hour for the first two hours, $3 for hours three and four, $4 past five, ten hour cap. Metro also runs a dollar-an-hour economy zone in parts of the non-downtown area, and the pay station tells you which rate you are on. Posted limits are short, so a long session on the Row will outlast your meter. Metro publishes enforcement here as 6am to midnight, Zone 4 Music Row, not the round-the-clock enforcement downtown gets. Metro does not publish which days or how holidays work, so the pay station is still the last word.
Where 16th and 17th Ave S (Music Square East and West) and side streets
The paid lot at TailGate Brewery's Music Row spot, entrance at 1538 Demonbreun St. The operator's page on parking.com lists it as open 24/7 but says overnight parking isn't allowed. It says drive-up rates apply without posting them, so check the price at the lot. Read 10/14/26. We haven't been there in person. The pin is the address.
SP+ labels each tier at this garage with one price and lists a second, higher one beside it: $6 for 2 hours ($7.50), $10 for 4 hours ($11.50), $15 for 8 hours ($16.50), $25 for 24 hours ($26.50). The page says rates include state and local taxes if applicable but doesn't say which number you pay, so plan on the higher one. SP+ also says overnight parking isn't allowed, even though it posts a 24 hour rate. Height limit 6 feet 8 inches. Open 24/7. This is not the Moore Building garage across the street at 827 19th Ave S.
