Things To Do
Bearded Iris Brewing
This is Kevin's favorite brewery in Nashville. If you're into IPAs, Kevin thinks their Homestyle is the BEST.
Biscuit Love Gulch
This place is usually pretty busy, but we think it is worth the wait for some delicious brunch. There is another location in Hillsboro Village, but this location is in the Gulch, which is another fun place to shop around!
Broadway
Many of you are staying just a couple blocks off Broadway and we HIGHLY recommend you do some bar hopping. There are lots of bars or "Honky Tonks" as they are often called with live music, mechanical bulls and I'm sure many Bachelorette parties. You can order food at most of them too if you get hungry!
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
If you want to do something that doesn't involve drinking or eating, this may be your spot. There is a lot to learn and they usually have some rotating exhibits.
Daddy’s Dogs (Printer's Alley)
If you need a late-night snack after hitting the Honky Tonks, or just love a hot dog, we recommend getting yourself a delicious hot dog from Daddy's Dogs.
Downtown Franklin Association & Historic Main Street District
If you are staying for a few days and have a car, Kevin’s hometown is such a fun place to walk around and shop. Downtown Franklin has the small-town Southern charm that is sure to win you over! While you will need to drive, it’s just 30 minutes south.
Edley's Bar-B-Que
This is our favorite barbeque spot in Nashville! They have a few locations but the one in 12 South is a great spot for lunch and afterwards you can do some shopping and exploring.
Fifth + Broadway
For those staying downtown we recommended exploring the shops and Food Hall at 5th and Broadway. There are tons of food and shopping options for everyone!
Frothy Monkey
Another 12 South spot, but there are at least 2 other locations in Nashville. This is a great spot to grab a quick coffee, pastry or to enjoy brunch!
Germantown Café
This is one of our favorite spots for dinner and brunch! It is also walkable to lots of other restaurants and bars, including some of our favorite- Mother’s Ruin and Sunny’s.
Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Nashville - West
For any hot chicken lovers, this is one of our favorites! They have 4 locations, but this one is usually the least busy. For anyone staying downtown there is a location on Broadway.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
If you need to cool off from the Nashville heat, we recommend getting some ice cream from Jeni's. There are 4 locations in Nashville, but we like the 12 South the best.
L.A. Jackson
If you are looking for a fun rooftop that is not on Broadway we love this spot! They have some great cocktails and a great view of Downtown. Also, it is located in the Gulch where you can find lots of other bars, restaurants and shopping!
Monday Night Preservation Co.
This is Heather's favorite brewery in Nashville. It's a cool, open space with many yummy beers on tap. Her favorite is the Dr. Robot sour!
Nashville Farmers' Market
This is Farmer’s Market open 7 days a week with unique food and drink spots. On Sundays they have vendors outside selling local Tennessee goods.
Pinewood
This is a fun and delicious restaurant, just steps away from Downtown Nashville. It can get busy, so we recommend getting a reservation if you're interested!
Prince's Hot Chicken
This is arguably one of the best hot chicken spots in Nashville-according to locals. They definitely don’t skimp on the heat and you can find a stall in Fifth and Broadway.
Puttshack - Nashville
While we haven’t been, we have heard great things about this indoor miniature golf bar/ arcade.
Robert's Western World
There are SO many fun bars on Broadway but one of our favorites is this one. It's a small space, but it's a fun atmosphere and usually has a great band. This bar is approved by Heather's dad.
Rosemary & Beauty Queen
If you are wanting a bar that is off Broadway and maybe a little less country, this place is so fun. They have a great outdoor space with yummy drinks and a fun atmosphere.
The Parthenon
Did you know there is a Parthenon replica in Nashville?! It's true! If you are looking for a place to get some fresh air, walk around and learn something, we love coming here.
Yee-Haw Brewing Co.
If you're wanting some moonshine tasting, cocktails, good beer and a fun place, this is your spot! This is very walkable from the hotel!
