When you come to Seventh Story, you step into the creative heart of Nashville. Distressed brick, factory doors, red velvet curtains, and Edison bulbs set a cinematic tone. Vintage furniture and layered textures give every corner warmth and history. This isn’t a ballroom or a barn — it’s a venue with personality. A little gritty, a little glamorous, and completely Nashville. • Three unique event spaces • On-site + street parking • Two private dressing suites • Open vendor policy (preferred list available) • Flexible for weddings, live music, film shoots and creative events Once home to Nashville’s most iconic recordings, this Berry Hill landmark helped define the sound of American music. Within these walls, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Tammy Wynette, and B.J. Thomas made music with the guidance of legendary producer Chips Moman. Songs like Highwayman, Pancho and Lefty, Always on my Mind, Hooked on a feeling, Mama’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Another somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song, Good Ol’ Boys (Dukes of Hazzard Theme), and more were recorded here. Today, Seventh Story Studio + Events continues that creative tradition. What was once a working studio for outlaws and innovators is now a space for modern storytellers, artists, and dreamers — a place where music history and human connection meet.

If natural light is your thing we have plenty of it, with 3 roll up garage doors that flood natural light end to end. If dialing in your studio lighting is what you desire, use our pre-lit RGB setup at no extra cost to you. It can be used alone or pair it with other lighting of your choice for endless options. The ample outdoor space is excellent for your guests to mingle and enjoy the outdoors, food trucks, event space, etc. The space was designed to give you all the building blocks for a successful production while giving it a minimal and clean design so you can create exactly what you need.

You have made it to the birthplace of the world-famous "Atlanta Stove Works" factory, which also happens to be one of the most hostile and gorgeous deserts in the world. In 1889, the same year that Benjamin Harrison was inaugurated as president of the United States, the Atlanta Stove Works brought the Barrett Range, an innovative cooking device made of cast iron, to the city of Atlanta. Krog Street was the location of the brand-new building that was constructed in the first year that it was in use. The interior is essentially identical to how it was found when it was initially discovered by explorers. You will be able to relive the excitement that they had through your own experience. The restaurant "Superica," which is currently located in the completely renovated factory, is a lively dining room that serves scrumptious Mexican and American cuisine. This cuisine may be more familiar to you under the name "Tex-Mex." Real works of craftsmanship are displayed here in addition to the various curios that may be purchased at this location. The atmosphere of the Old West, which has been preserved, can be enjoyed by all of the guests.
