Located between Nashville’s Third and Fourth Avenues stretching from Union to Church Streets, a billboard announces your passage into the “World Famous Printers Alley.”

Nearly a century before the area earned that name, it was home to the law

practice of a pugilistic local young lawyer Andrew Jackson. Each morning the would-be-president rode miles from his home just outside of town to the stablehouse just behind his office. It’s here in this alleyway where he began to prosper in the rough-and-tumble world of frontier law, unafraid to roll up his sleeves and have it out with a political foe, more than once from 20 paces away.

Those stables that housed his horse, would later shelter the mules that pulled

the neighborhood’s newspaper wagons. As the area and opportunity flourished in the 1860s, Mr. Jackson’s legal battleground and barn made way for growing industry. But its sturdy walls remained, framing up the town’s most popular gourmet restaurant, the Brass Rail Stables and Lounge.

By the late 1890s, the little backstreet had become the printing capital of the world,

serving as hub for over 36 major printers, two large newspapers, multiple publishers, and one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America. The Hatch brothers’ ink-stained woodblocks and metal type stamped out a distinctive style that advertised many of the first vaudeville acts, minstrel shows and movies seen anywhere.

With businessmen and their money flowing down the alley, saloons and

gambling halls soon sprang up to help them part with it, transforming Printers Alley into “The Men’s District” with a speakeasy vibe that catered to many thirsts.

Even after alcohol was outlawed in 1909, the social renegades and underground good

times remained as local law enforcement and prominent politician regulars looked the other way. The repeal of Prohibition in 1939 allowed for Mixing Bars, but only if patrons provided the liquor. “Bring your own bottle” advertisements allowed guests to walk in carrying high-proof hooch of their own in brown paper bags, which they could also keep on the back of the bar with their names on them, including those of Nashville’s elite.

As more nightclubs opened, rising music legends like Chet Atkins, Waylon

Jennings, Hank Williams Sr. and Jr., and Dottie West gave these gritty streets an authentic soundtrack and paved the way for today’s up-and-coming bands. While many of the presses have stopped, the Alley’s iconic neon signs flicker against the twang of a distinctly country music culture perfectly imprinted with unmistakable character and a carefree spirit.
