Food and Drink
Whether you're looking for authentic Southern bites, casual or upscale cuisine, Nashville is a foodie's city! Here are some recommendations to check out on your next trip!
Hidden gem! This speakeasy isn't easy to find… a hint… its just off Music Row and you'll want to head in the front door on the porch!
The Patterson House
Head to Germantown for some amazing food and drinks!
Butchertown Hall
One of the best spots for live music in Midtown. Great singer-songwriter nights and the food and drink are right up there, too!
The Row Kitchen and Pub in Nashville, TN
Another great spot for food, drinks, and live music with locations downtown and Midtown.
The Stillery | Live from Nashville - Restaurant & Bar
Love this spot for hot chicken and great drinks and a wide beer selection from several local breweries! Flights also available here! Hot chicken is delicious, but be sure to choose the right heat level for you!
Party Fowl
The beer and the pizza. That is all I have to say. You MUST try it! I was not a very adventurous beer drinker before my first stop at the Tailgate Midtown location about 8 years ago, but sampling a variety of super unique beers on a flight there opened me up to a whole new world of beer. The Peanut Butter Milk Stout is a must try! My favorite! And even if you're not there for a full meal, you need to get a pizza to share with your crew!

Where to Stay
While the party goes late, you still need a place to rest your head when in Nashville. Here are some of my favorites.
One of the coolest hotels I've ever stayed at! Very modern and funky, with a hip vibe just a few blocks off Broadway. Be sure to check out the rooftop bus and pool!

The Gulch is a great area to stay in Nashville. Fun restaurants and great views of the city from the pool deck and rooftop bar here!
W Nashville
This is one of my absolute favorite hotels in Nashville. Not only is the value great, but the rooms are spacious, and the lobby is incredible - with a large free breakfast and daily happy hour with apps and drinks for all! I am a big runner and it was a great spot to head out around the Vanderbilt campus, too!
Homewood Suites by Hilton Nashville Vanderbilt, TN
Great place to stay in Downtown Nashville and there's a pool!

As seen on the hit show Nashville, this is a great spot for live music, but be sure to get in line early!
The Bluebird Cafe
You have to do it at least once!
Grand Ole Opry
Worth the drive south to Lynchburg to learn about how this famous whiskey is made. Very cool town with a hidden gem for Southern BBQ in the downtown.
Visit Distillery - Jack Daniel's
This is a MUST do for anyone 21+ in Nashville. I have done the pedal tavern with friends, my husband, and even my mother, and everyone has had a blast. This is a great way to see downtown, have a few drinks, and make some new friends! Highly recommended! Make reservations in advance!
