Things To Do

The best rooftop bar in Nashville with delicious drinks and small plates! Located in the Gulch at the top of the Thompson Hotel with a 360 degree view of Nashville.
Country Music Hall of Fame
The largest country music museum with exhibits honoring the world's best musicians. Located downtown.
Radnor Lake State Park
Beautiful hiking trails through a peaceful nature preserve.
San Antonio Taco Co.
Locally known as "SATCO", this is a Nashville staple located near Vanderbilt. Very casual taco joint. When you walk in, you will see a bunch of pens and pads of paper...circle what you want on your taco, pay at the register, and they'll call your name when it's ready. Don't forget the cheese dip!
Cheekwood Botanical Garden
Beautiful botanical gardens offering seasonal exhibits in Belle Meade, close to the wedding reception location.
The Loveless Cafe
An iconic Nashville staple and a must-try if you like southern food! Worth the drive. Loveless is the ultimate destination for comfort food and there are also cute shops on the premises for you to look around while you’re waiting for your table.
Pinewood Social
Not your average bowling alley - fun place to drink and eat great food too! Located downtown.
The Parthenon
Replica of the original Parthenon located in Athens, Greece
Broadway
The famous Nashville honky tonk strip! You can't go to Nashville without experiencing Broadway. Every bar has live music all day and night, and everywhere serves food. Some of our favorite Broadway spots are: -- Acme Feed and Seed -- An old feed and seed warehouse converted into a 4-story bar overlooking the Cumberland River. 1st floor has swing dancing and serves Nashville hot chicken. 2nd floor has lots of TVs and serves sushi. 4th floor is a rooftop with a DJ. -- Tootsies -- One of Nashville's oldest and most iconic honky tonks! -- Rippy’s -- Bar next to the Bridgestone Arena that guarantees a good time. Go to the 2nd floor to hear some of your favorite early 2000s hits like Stacy's Mom, Ms. Jackson, Ocean Avenue, Beverly Hills, and anything else you feel like requesting…Also known for their bushwackers! -- Honky Tonk Central -- Located in the middle of lower Broadway with balconies on every floor. If you love country music (especially the old legends) this is your spot!
12 South
Quaint walkable neighborhood with great restaurants and shopping. Busy, family-friendly area without all the craziness of Broadway. Some of our favorite restaurants in 12 South are: -- Taqueria del Sol -- This is our personal favorite because it was originally founded in our college town of Athens, GA! Very casual new Mexican cuisine. Don't be discouraged if there is a long line because the line moves quickly, and the service is extremely fast. Our cheese dip usually beats us to our table! -- Edley's BBQ -- What it sounds like. Delicious barbecue with a great atmosphere. Very casual. -- Josephine's -- Great spot for brunch! American cuisine. Slightly more upscale. -- Mafioza's -- Delicious casual pizza place that has been around forever (long before the rest of 12 South was developed). -- Burger Up -- Casual spot for yummy craft burgers. Long communal tables and benches.
The Gulch
This is a hip and trendy area between Downtown and Music Row. All of the restaurants in this area are phenomenal! A few of our favorites are: -- Virago -- Kate's all-time favorite restaurant! Asian fusion + sushi with a swanky covered rooftop bar. Anything you order will be delicious. This is where Kate and Burch went on their first Nashville date. -- Kayne Prime -- This is Kate's other favorite restaurant! Kate took Burch here for his 25th birthday. Funky, trendy steak house with great vibes and even better food. -- Saint Anejo -- Hip and lively spot for Mexican cuisine. Fun atmosphere and delicious food! -- Biscuit Love -- Amazing breakfast spot if you can get in! They don't take reservations and typically have a very long line on weekends…but usually worth the wait!
