Spreading Love, the Nashville Way

Trying to make this list wasn’t easy! Nashville is by far one of my favorite cities, for so many reasons. I’ve been a few times and each time I love it a little more and more! But if I had to narrow down my list of things to do here are my suggestions by neighborhoods!

Downtown/Broadway

a must stop do, but honestly I’ve had the most fun day drinking in this area!

• Martin’s Barbecue - definitely stop here for barbecue and to just hang out! A huge outdoor/rooftop area with tons of activities.

• Pinewood Social - fun hang out place, I don’t really know how to describe it, there’s food, a bar, a coffee shop and a vintage bowling alley

• Honky Tonks - ACME, Tin Roof, Tootsies and Legends or literally any of them, always so fun!

• A few country artists have started opening their own bars on broadway so make sure to check them out - one of our favorites was FGL House and Whiskey Row.

• Skull’s Rainbow Room in Printer’s Alley

• The Ryman

• Country Music Hall of Fame

• Hatch Show Print

• Pedestrian bridge at the end of broadway has a pretty view of downtown

South Broadway

• Bar lines

• Tennessee Brew Works

• The Listening Room

• Bar Sovereign

• Pub5 (rooftop)

Midtown

I’ve stayed in this area a few times and really love how close it is to everything!

• The Row

• Tavern

• Hattie B’s - Super good, try to go at a weird time gets crazy busy, like two hours in line busy! You can grab drinks and wait in line though!

• Adele’s

• The Patterson House - sit down bar with craft cocktails, cool atmosphere

• Winners, Losers bar - right next to each other, fun place more dive bar atmosphere

• Soul Shine Pizza Factory

The Gulch

restaurants/bars/shopping

• Whiskey Kitchen

• Saint Anejo - great outdoor patio

• Up - rooftop

• Party Foul

• Sambuca

• Biscuit love - delicious breakfast but again can get super busy! Make sure to try the bonuts.

• A few good breweries/distilleries over here

• Two Old Hippies, super cute little shop

• Wings mural is right next to biscuit love

12South

cute street with local shops and restaurants

• Bartaco - amazing drinks with fresh squeezed juices, great tacos

• The Flipside - amazing bloody mary

• Five Daughters bakery - the BEST doughnuts

• Frothy Monkey

• White's Mercantile

• The “I believe in Nashville” mural is here among many others

East Nashville

a more local and lively area, great food and music options!

• MAS TACOS (I cannot say it enough, you must eat here. The food is amazing, just make sure to check that they’re open before you go!)

• Pharmacy (just across the street from Mas Tacos, they have amazing burgers and a fun outside patio area.)

• The Idea Hatchery

• Shelby Park

Germantown

• Farmer’s Market - fun to walk around, also has an indoor area with local shops and restaurants.

• Rolf & Daughters - pricier but, great food

• Barista Parlor - saw Tyler and Hayley Hubbard here one trip!

Things to Do:

• If you want some local songwriter nights, look up The Row, Puckett’s, Bluebird Cafe or the Listening Room.

• Be sure to stop at the Ryman, even better if you can get tickets to a show there.

• Otherwise, look up to see who’s playing at Exit/In, Mercy Lounge, The Basement, The Station Inn or 3rd & Lindsley.

• Be sure to check out the Grand Ole Opry and possibly even catch a show.

• See if the Nashville Predators are in town.

• If you’re looking to take a drive check out Franklin filled with cute shops and restaurants.

• If it’s a beautiful day get out on the water at Percy Priest Lake by renting a boat.

• If you want all the photo-ops take a tour of Nashville’s DCXV murals.
