Things To Do
The Parthenon
Believe it or not, Nashville has a Parthenon replica right in the center of the city. This houses a Tennessee State Museum in the bottom portion of the Parthenon building but also features a nice walking trail around the pond and plenty of room for a blanket on the grass.
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
This museum is much more extensive than you think! From Yee Haw to Dolly Parton to Taylor Swift, you can see a lot of really great exhibits. It takes a few hours to move through the entire museum. It would be a great Saturday activity!
The Johnny Cash Museum & Cafe
If you're looking for something that is less extensive than the Country Music Hall of Fame but does a great job giving you a lot of cool facts and details about country music, this is a great spot. This museum can be done in an hour or less.
Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Greenway
Believe it or not, I convinced Drew to rent bikes with me on multiple occasions and ride the greenway here. If you go 3 or so miles, you will hit an AWESOME bridge and view of the park.
Cheekwood Estate and Gardens
A botanical garden and art exhibition space, Cheekwood offers a great way to get outdoors and explore. The dogwoods will be in bloom in April! Open from 9 am - 4 pm.
McCabe Golf Course
This golf course is close to the hotel and offers 27 holes and a driving range!
Hunters Station
A new "dining hall" with great options for lunch or a snack. Vui's Kitchen has DELICIOUS pho and Grilled Cheeserie is exactly what you think it is...everything grilled cheese. There are also tacos, burgers, sandwiches, and a full bar.
The Row Kitchen & Pub
This is one of Drew and I's favorite spots to grab a seat in the bar area and listen to local live music. Imagine a honky-tonk but not on the Broadway strip, and less people...way less people. The restaurant food is good for burgers, chicken, and appetizers! New live music act each hour starting around 5 pm on Fridays and 2 pm on Saturdays.
Robert's Western World
One of the the original honky-tonks on Broadway. The house band is wonderful and the fried bologna sandwiches hit the spot when you need a late-night snack.
Pins Mechanical Co.
A new spot in Nashville that offers drinks, games, and music!
Edley’s Bar-B-Que
This is a local favorite for BBQ and banana pudding. Don't forget to order the mac and cheese!
Downtown Sporting Club
Right on Broadway - where they let you have a drink and throw large axes. Go at your own risk! :)
Tavern
Great spot for Saturday brunch! They don't take reservations, and they fill up fast. Try to get there at 10:00 am!
Milk & Honey
Great spot for brunch or lunch!
Biscuit Love (Hillsboro Village)
If you are willing to brave the line, you will NOT regret ordering the "Princess" or any other delicious biscuit creation.
Hopdoddy Burger Bar
Great burgers and salads! There are a few shops around, so it makes for a nice Saturday activity.
Acme Feed & Seed
This spot is right on the riverfront and typically has music on two of the three floors. The menu offers great lunch and snack options!
Belcourt Theatre
Head here for a matinee and enjoy a special, independent movie theater!
