DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! Went for a bday celebration and the event staff set us up with bottle service claiming an after party would come. The place was totally dead but the service cost us $1500 including security. An hour before they closed they realized it was dead and decided to just spontaneously close to leave early at 1:08am when they originally said they would be open until 2:30am. Security SCREAMED at us repeatedly after we just opened a bottle of champagne at 1:08pm and they got so aggressive with my friends and myself and did not want us to even use the bathroom on exit. I’ve never been so disgusted with treatment at a “nice” establishment. Especially when they were supposed to support our night. Instant violence was unprompted because they wanted to leave early and security got very resistant and angry. Save yourself time and stress and find a different bar. Protect your night and friends— this bar felt like a threat and a waste of time, energy and money. TOTAL BUST.

Arrived around 10 and it wasn't crowded yet. The people who allow entry were nice. The bartender was cool but he said he didn't have time for me to decide what I wanted to drink because I wanted a martini and he didn't make those. He wasn't rude about it and told me I could go nextdoor where they had live music. So I did. That bartender wasn't sure he could make me a blackberry martini but he did. Returned to the other side and danced a little. The lady in restroom said it isn't busy until 11 so I left and came back. Yes it was busier. The security is very diligent checking your entry marker / wrist band and we tried to sit on the couches but we're nicely told we could not. The place was smaller than I thought but it was fun and the AC was incredible! Nice music selection. My feet were hurting and I sort of bumped into the dj booth and a security asked if I was ok...maybe to see if I was drunk. Overall nice experience and staff was pretty nice! Thanks DLS

No trouble getting in, good house/edm music that's a welcome change from the honky tonk. Drink prices fair but I wouldn't say cheap. We got involved in an incident where someone had thrown a glass bottle smashing it at the feet of one of the waitresses. My gf and I (nurses from NY) stepped in to ask if she was ok, but in the fog of what happened security was called and thought we were the ones to kick out and approached us in the most polite way. We asked them to clarify with the guy in charge. Andrew, the VIP host cleared up the situation and everything was ok. Confusion asside, I went out of my way to tell Andrew just how polite and nice him and his staff had been to us even when at first they mistook us for the offenders. If this had happened in NY I would've been in a choke hold getting dragged and literally tossed out before I could even explain myself. The staff working there definitely deserved their tip that night.

  • Michael C. Schettino, MD

The vibe is great here! However, management engages in deceitful practices. I booked a VIP table with Victoria the club manager in which she told me the expense would be a $1,000 minimum for a table for up to 6. She NEVER communicated to me that tax and gratuity would be included on top of the $1,000 minimum prior to me booking my trip to Nashville. So I ended up charging $550 in liquor and left with a $1,400 tab. Makes ZERO sense. Talked to her supervisor who was a complete dunce. To be fair I had a GREAT time here until it came time to square the bill. Victoria did deliver me women and a good time. She failed to deliver to me pictures, videos and a complimentary bottle of champagne. Very frustrating when people don’t do business the right way. You’re only as good as word to quote “Scarface.” Tell the truth!

  • Jake Crowe

I have never been so disrespected and discriminated against in my life other than this experience. They told me that you have to live good life and have money to be able to stick out. They told me I’m not allowed to wear crocs and they allowed opened toed individuals in when they told me it’s against the rules. Felt really bad about myself after this experience and I was so upset I talked to bystanders about my issue and they completely agreed with me and said to never go there. I’m glad I experienced this because I was very excited to experience printers alley for the first time and dirty little secret ruined it. My friend has been here once before and said she was very uncomfortable because the bartender groped her. This place is really poorly ran and I hope things change because this place has potential.

My Husband and I honeymooned in Nashville and actually came to this bar twice! This place is massive!! The first visit was on a Thursday night which was wild and very fun! It was packed but the bar tenders are fast and do an incredible job especially hearing people over all the loud music and even joining in on the on stage performances! Unfortunately on this night my husbands phone was pickpocketed and he had to get a new one so be careful and keep your things close if not directly in your hands at all times, we were told it’s pretty common in the area. The second night was a little more rowdy since it was a Saturday night but we had a blast, stayed for a while and then bounced around to a few other places! Definitely recommend this place for a great time! We would definitely come back!

  • Paul M

Would have been nice to actually go inside and see the place but that didn't happen and it's probably for the best... seems like they did us a favor not letting us spend our money there. Extremely rude security, they made us wait while they let others in before us for no apparent reason. Once we saw that we immediately left. Me and the wife came down from Canada, stayed one night in Nashville, and wanted to experiance multiple bars throughout the night. This was by far the worse experiance and we didn't even get inside. We're not going to support a business that treats clients like garbage. Do not waste your time here. There are so many other bars there that have amazing staff and atmospheres, unlike this place.

Venue - One of the only Vegas style club here in Nashville that I've seen. Place is cool with that Speakeasy/Underground feel to it when you see it from outside. The inside is a decent size, with a decent size bar . Door people - Staff here is hella chill and not all stuck up like Cali, Miami, etc places as they are actually nice and helpful. Price - Not sure what they charge as I was a hotel guest and had free entry. Dress code - They do have a slight dress code especially on shoes, they want people to have that club attire look. Music - Music was chill when I went but it was dead so the main dj wasn't on yet, and it was at the beginning of the night. Crowd - A bit mixed of a crowd. Overall cool spot and would be back to check it out on the next visit.

  • Irving Couture

Line is messy, no definite way in, just a barrier letting people in at random times. Took 20 minutes to get inside, then took another 20 minutes to get the bartenders attention, and the drinks were super gross. Manager walked in and out to look busy but never actually did anything except trip over the bottles on the floor behind the chaotic bar. The whole staff seems to not know what’s going on, just pretentious overall. Music was sub par. Might as well just go to play dance bar on Church St. Seems to be the only decent nightclub in Nashville at this point.

  • Anna Burton

Overall the club is good! Friendly staff, good drinks ($35 for a double shot of Patron), and atmosphere. However, we went tonight and DeeJay Diesel was the DJ. Needless to say HE SUCKS!!! He was all over the place with the music. There were gaps between songs, blew the smoke at all the wrong times, and the list can keep going. We got there and it was not as packed as the weekend prior. In fact it cleared out before closing. The weekend before they were kicking people out. I highly recommend going when DeeJay Diesel is not DJing!!!!!

  • Logan Welch

Extremely discriminatory and disappointing of Nashville. Don’t even waste your time. Tried to get in two separate weekends and both times there is no defined line to get in, just a rope barrier where you all stand shoulder to shoulder and the bouncer cherry picks whoever he wants in regardless who’s been waiting first. Seriously? Waited over an hour the first weekend and people left and right were getting in after 5 min of waiting. Never even made it inside either time we tried. They definitely have a type they want in this club.

  • Chesney Kellow

Also known as Snitch... This is a speakeasy bar on Printers Ally in downtown Nashville... It is attached to Dream Hotel and the entrance is through All Saints... We went on a Saturday night 2/19/22 for my birthday and it was ok... It was severely over crowded and it took us over a half hour to get to the bar to order drinks... But the music was great with various DJ's remixing all of today's hits and some from past decades...

  • Reverend Cosgrove

I never got paid.... I worked a 8hr shift and didn't get a break. Though I was promoted and then I was told to stand by the back door. Which is no good when you get approached by guys hitting on you and the owner I think is filming you. Plus the manager had yelled at me for nothing really.

  • Adriaan Struwig

Bartender overcharged me by $65 dollars for 1 High Noon ($7). He acknowledged the mistake and promised that he will rectify it at the end of the night even after I insisted multiple times that he fix it right away. He never fixed it and the charge went off my credit card. I am now disputing this with my bank. Avoid this dump.

Specifically to DLS, Its pretty terrible when you sell out tickets for $100 each and then keep people in line outdoors for hours when its half full inside. At least 20 of my friends couldn't get in all night and finally gave up. Its pretty much impossible to visit this place with a group of friends, even if you pay for tickets on private events. Do better DLS, DO BETTER

  • Gabby Hook

The only thing “speakeasy” about that place is it’s behind 2 sets of doors….A guy in a suit 2x too big for him was outside begging ppl to come in. I almost got kicked out of line because YOU APPARENTLY CANNOT WEAR SHORTS IN THERE. The DJ was trash, the drinks were hella expensive, it was small af and there was no ventilation in there whatsoever.

  • John Anderson

Shout out to Victoria and the entire hosting staff for taking care of our group this past weekend!! Amazing venue with amazing service. DLS proves that there’s even better nightlife once you escape the beaten path on Broadway. Our entire party is asking when we’re going back

  • Isabella Sauer

I'm not one to leave reviews, but I had a really good experience at DLS I had to share. The club was insanely busy and there were only two bartenders. The one bartender, Grayson, provided top notch service. He was so fast and still so personable. I barely had to wait for drinks. Totally will come back!!!!! :)

  • Jason Anderson

Very fun and classy burlesque show. The beautiful host is very engaging with the audience, talented singer/hostess and also very funny. The girls are all great. My wife was a little aprehensive but at the end wanted it to be longer. It is upscale show worth attending. Two thumbs or tassles straight up!!!

  • Ingrid Espinoza

Security needs to be respectful, my daughter was there with her friends and a security guy put his hands on her and was very disrespectful to her, because she sat on the table for two seconds . All he had to do was ask her not to sit on the table but he didn’t. He got aggressive for no reason!!

  • Alli Wallace

Literally the rudest people I’ve ever met. We waited in line for over an hour and they never let us in. Literally let people behind us in first. I’m a native to Nashville and I will NEVER be back. Horrible service. Horrible experience. Horrible people. Don’t go here. Waste of time.

  • Michael

This club would be lightyears ahead of anything else in nashville if they had some subwoofers and a better DJ. It has a lot of potential, but right now it's not a place I tend to stay for long. When the "DJ" is changing the song and genre every 20 seconds it's pretty hard to dance.

  • KSmithy

Recently visited Dirty Little Secret around mid-October for a friend's birthday. Had the best time EVER. I love how liveliness and vibrant it is there. Also, I am a huge fan of house/EDM, so when I heard it, I was so ecstatic. I also love the variety of music that plays in there!

  • Kasadi Sparkman

Go here if you want to spend $40 for two drinks. Entirely to overpriced and there is no where to sit. I came to dance and ended up having no where to even dance. It is way too overcrowded and the crowd is a bit too sloppy. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

  • James Cheng

The staff here is great but I must have came here at a bad time. It was Friday night and the crowds were not really there. Came here a few times throughout the night and it was the same. I wanted to enjoy this place but without the right crowd, it was hard to.

  • Orlando Nawade

I went to buy a couple drinks from the bar. And they definitely served me water. The drinks here are more expensive than broadway and they are literally scamming me. If you’re coming to this bar make sure you’re actually getting alcoholic drinks.

  • C H

Nice place, super fair pricing, decent DJ. But if they want to be a “club” please enforce some sort of dress code. Would be nice to have one halfway classy option in town. Most of the girls left early after the 100th guy in a graphic tee got in.

  • Jimi Church

We went to a party that Eddie George had over there last Friday. It was a great party and we had a lot of fun. I had never been there before and I really liked the club and the atmosphere. It was very laid back and pleasant.

  • Taylor Trumble

I’ve been meaning to come here for so long, and so happy I finally gave it a try! I love house music, and this is the only place in Nashville that is legit. Bartender Greyson was super fast and nice. Can’t wait to go back !

  • Victoria Zoha

A super lively and over the top fun place to be at on the weekends!! Greyson behind the bar was epic to watch sling drinks!! He was energetic and totally into the vibe the music was giving!! Great weekend party scene!!

  • Caroline

First time I went here it was such a cool spot and amazing. This next time it was just like any other club/bar but ridiculously overpriced and rude staff. I am not sure what changed but will not be going back.

  • alex pudge

It had been highly recomended, but I didnt feel it stood out particularly as a club. The music was R&B circa 2010, and reminded me of the local town clubs we have in the UK. Kind of standard. Nothing special.

  • Nate Twarog

This place kind of sucked, weird vibe. Nobody there except a couple older guys in VIP. For some reason there was a line outside, seemed like they were trying to make it seem like an appealing spot

  • Jason Woodard

Forth time being here..Sometimes the crowd is a little rough.. Can get to crowded to enjoy.. So far the nicest worker we meet was the bathroom worker..lol. Better time this last weekend..J

  • PO

Run of the mill club. Young crowd DJ spins HipHop and Top 40. If you look outside, the main sign over the door does not say Dirtly Lil Secret. You have to look for it a little.

  • jeanette smith

Went to a burlesque show for my birthday and loved it. It's a nice venue and the performers came through the audience which made it feel more intimate. Will definitely return!

  • Pretty Hippie

I was a little disappointed. The service was terrible and the food and drinks were just ok but has a cool atmosphere.
