Exit/In is a music venue in Nashville, Tennessee. Exit/In is located on Elliston Place near Centennial Park and Vanderbilt University. It opened in 1971 under the management of Owsley Manier and Brugh Reynolds. As a small venue seating 200 or so, it developed its unique reputation in the 1970s because of the unusual things that occurred almost nightly. The club was expanded in the early 1980s to accommodate 500 patrons.
Several documentaries have been shot on the inside of Exit/In, and many artists, including Kellie Pickler, have used the space to shoot music videos.
The club is featured in the 1975 Robert Altman film, Nashville.[1] The club was also featured in Steve Martin's Born Standing Up.
On the cover of The Police's Zenyatta Mondatta album, Sting can be seen in one of the small photos wearing an Exit/In t-shirt.
