Check out some of our favorite restaurants and things to do in Nashville before you come to celebrate with us! We have separated the city into some of our favorite neighborhoods. If you're looking for a specific recommendation feel free to reach out to us!
Nashville has a lot of great burger places but this is BY FAR Emily's favorite restaurant. If you go here you MUST try the Mac & Cheese bites, the kale salad, and any of the burgers! Burger Up even makes their own ketchup and it is amazing!
Favorite coffee shop in Nashville! They have a bunch of locations but the 12 South one is awesome! The "Nashville looks good on you" mural is behind this. Must try: Banana Latte
Our favorite ice cream spot in town!! Jeni's has a few locations around Nashville and we cannot recommend going enough! Our favorite flavors include but are not limited to: Gooey Butter Cake, Brambleberry Crisp, Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks, and Coffee with Cream and Sugar
Such a cool concept for a bar! From the outside, it looks kind of like a warehouse but inside it is the coolest place! Bar tenders here ask you about your likes and dislikes and then make you a drink based on your conversation.
E + Rose Wellness Cafe has many locations all over Nashville! Emily's favorite acai bowl place! It's a great coffee and healthy food place.
One of Emily's favorite places to take a walk downtown! This bridge is open to the public to walk across and you'll get some amazing views of the city. It is right off of Broadway so you can head there after!
One of our favorite rooftop bars on Broadway, Acme has 4 different levels and each level has different kinds of food and types of music. Must try: any of the southern food on first floor, sushi boat or cheese board on third floor!
Emily feels very strongly about the fact these are the best bagels in Nashville.
One of our favorite upscale Italian restaurants, part of the M-Street Group! If you arent in the mood for Italian food check out the other M-Street restaurants. They are all amazing! If you go to Moto make reservations and try the Brussel sprouts!
A great brunch spot but if you come here be prepared to wait in line! It is worth it though! We recommend getting the bonuts (a biscuit donut!!)
A fun rooftop bar that isn't on Broadway. One of Emily's favorite places. Come here for fun cocktails and apps and a unique view of the city!
A Spanish-inspired tapa's bar and one of our favorite places in Nashville! Come for the amazing food and stay for the great service! Great for sharing and can accommodate large parties with a reservation. They also know how to party and your waiter will pour wine from atop another waiter's shoulders into your mouth!
Nashville & Hot Chicken... basically like wearing florals in spring! Hattie B's is the place to go - you can order to-go if you don't want to wait in the link. That's the hack!
Loser's - One of Midtown's favorite bars! More of a local spot than a tourist place. If you are staying downtown you must check out this spot and the one next to is (Winners) in Midtown
Winners - One of Midtown's favorite bars! More of a local spot than a tourist place. If you are staying down town you must check out this spot and the one next to is (Losers) in Midtown!
One of our favorite live music venues in Nashville. If you can get tickets on Friday we highly suggest! At the listening room, you'll find performances by singer-songwriters plus American eats and cocktails offered in an intimate setting.
While this is a little bit outside the city it is such a great place to spend an afternoon! You can bring a picnic and taste their wines by the bottle, glass, or even get a flight!
Great walking trails if you want to get some exercise!
In 12 South there are so may fun walls and murals that you can take photos of or in front of. If you find yourself near 12th South you should stop by and snap a photo! Check out the website linked to see all of the most recent murals in Nashville!
