Cannery Row

Description

Originally the Nashville Mill Company, the converted industrial space was once the home to the Fletcher-Wilson Coffee Company and the Dale Foods canning facility. Perry Dale (1927-2018) of Dale Foods later opened the large space into a country music theater and restaurant in the 1970s. He called it "The Cannery," after its former-purpose as part of his family's company. As of early 2019, the building holds three venues: the 1000 person capacity Cannery Ballroom; the 500 person capacity Mercy Lounge; and the 225 person capacity High Watt.
