I don't book Nashville for clients, but I had friends celebrating a milestone birthday and was happy to help plan the trip for them. I sent them to a few of my favorite places, so I thought I would share them with you, too.
----------------------
FAVORITE SPOTS TO STAY
The JW Marriott // An awesome hotel with a beautiful rooftop pool. Perfect for couples! Make a happy hour or dinner reservation at Bourbon Steak for some of the BEST views of the city!
The Graduate // Love this hotel for a girls trip! It is such a fun theme and has a great rooftop pool & bar. You have to make reservations way in advance but worth it. Also, do yourself a favor and get a breakfast sandwich from their lobby !
The Noelle is cute & we love the Grand Hyatt for their great location & dining options!
FAVORITE SPOTS TO DRINK
BROADWAY obviously. Tootsies ALWAYS lives up to the hype and we can't hit Nashville without stopping in! Honky Tonk Central, Whiskey Row, Goodnight Nashcille, Jason Aldean's bar, Rippy’s and Wildhorse Saloon are also faves on Broadway.
Twelve Thirty Club is a newer favorite spot on Broadway if you want a more upscale but low key atmosphere. Their rooftop has great views, too!
Losers in Midtown is a classic with great music!
Patterson House for upscale cocktails.
FAVORITE SPOTS TO EAT
Bartaco is a great laid back, family friendly spot. They also have great margaritas.
Five Daughters Donuts for the best donuts.
Frothy Monkey for the coziest patio breakfast.
Milk & Honey's entire menu is amazing!
Burger UP for fry flights & burgers
Urban Grub patio is so dreamy!
Josephine for brunch or a late night upscale dinner reservation.
Biscuit Love in the Gulch, it is a tourist spot so expect the line to be long but it’s definitely worth the wait.
Assembly Food Hall at 5th and Broadway is a fun spot to go with kids because it hosts lots of local favorite restaurants in a dining all type experience.
RH Nashville for dinner
FAVORITE SHOPPING SPOTS
12 South is my favorite shopping -- White’s Mercantile, Imogene + Willie, & all the murals for photo opps.
H. Audrey & White’s Mercantile in Green Hills
L&L Market {I haven't been there yet, but it's on my list for next time}
FAVORITE SPOTS FOR FUN
Grand Ole Opry or Ryman is a must!
The Listening Room Cafe is another MUST! You have to get tickets ahead of time, but songwriters sing their songs that they wrote for other artists and give you the story behind them.
Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame - everyone must go once.
Nashville Pedal Tavern was fun with a group!
Make your own custom cowboy hat at Rustler Hat Co.
Brunch, bowling, and bocce ball at Pinewood Social!
Flowers & photos at Amelia’s Flower Truck.
ACME on Broadway has some fun arcade style games
Dancing at Wildhorse Saloon is a MUST!
STILL ON MY LIST TO CHECK OUT // Cheekwood (in the Fall!) & Leipers Fork
