The Chute Complex
2535 Franklin Road
Tel: 615 297 4571
Crowd: totally diverse - all ages, looks and styles
Located in a dumpy old multipurpose office building in an uninspiring neighborhood a 10-minute drive south of downtown. 
This a quadruple bar, with a bar for leather cruising, one for the western man with line dancing. Another bar is for the Disco crowd, and it is loud. A restaurant is also part of the complex but serves food in the early evening only. The restaurant is open to the disco bar area, which is quiet during the serving period. Parking can be a problem, but there is a two-level free parking lot just south of the complex. There is a bank immediately to the north, and there parking is also allowed.There is a beautiful piano bar as part of the complex, which is VERY popular with the intergenerational couples.
Good drinks, good music, great looking men! Nice Patio. Mixed drinks, Coolers/Beer served.

Provides budget accomodation above the Gaslight and the Towne House Restaurant - a small southern-style luncheonette. This is a perfectly suitable budget choice but rooms and baths are sligtly threadbare.
