Jessi & Samuel
Things To Do
Peter's Sushi & Thai
Peter's Sushi & Thai is one of our favorite sushi spots. This is where the Stevenson family taught Jessi how to eat sushi! Located in Brentwood, inbetween Nashville and the venue, it's a perfect spot to grab a bite!
Osake Japanese and Sushi
This is our favorite sushi dive in downtown Nashville! Located right nextdoor to the famous Exit / In music venue and what is considered Nashville's "Rock Block." The baked salmon roll is a MUST.
L.A. Jackson
LA Jackson is one of our favorite spots for dinner & cocktails! We celebrated Samuel's 26th birthday here with friends! With it's half inside, half outside seating and gorgeous views of Nashville, it is a very popular spot. We recommend getting there early if you are wanting to grab a table!
Never Never
Never Never is our absolute favorite local bar. Owned by a dear friend & amazing producer, this spot is cozy & fun. Great cocktails and a awesome retro patio!
Yee-Haw Brewing Co. & Ole Smoky Distillery
This is our favorite place to hang during the fall to watch football! The outdoor area is expansive with multiple screens for watching sports and delicious food options! While some may find it a bit touristy, it's the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the Nashville culture - including trying Nashville famous Hot Chicken from the Prince's food truck (better than Hattie B's in our opinion). The indoor area includes the Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery, complete with a Tennessee moonshine tasting counter.
Crockett Park
Located just down the street from our venue, Crockett Park was a major stomping ground for us growing up! Samuel played countless soccer games at the fields and we also attended summer concerts and fireworks shows. This is a great spot if you are wanting to spend some time outside. There are tennis courts, soccer fields, and paved trails!
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
While not local to Nashville, Jeni's is still our favorite ice cream spot! With multiple locations in town, this address is closest to the venue!
Downtown Franklin
Downtown Franklin is only 4 miles from the Drury Plaza Hotel and 9 miles from the venue. It is the ultimate small town main street for shopping, dining, & attractions. The historic Franklin Theater is where Jessi has worked many of songwriter shows & is absolutely adorable.
