DOWNTOWN

- Broadway Honky Tonks - this is whole night of Nashville wildness! Chris recommends ACME, Roberts Western World, and any of the newer country star named bars (Casa Rosa by Miranda Lambert, FGL House, etc.)

- Check out Eddie V's! Chris plays here ALL the time. A nice evening of seafood and easy listening music.

- Love a fun bar-cade at HQ - free games and fun drinks with a retro vibe.

- Hungry? Visit Assembly Food Hall for a food court of local spots!

- Check out various rooftop bars like the Bobby Hotel, Grand Hyatt, The Graduate Rooftop (White Limozeen) and more!

- Head to Printer's Alley and listen to some fun jazz at this classic spot, Skull's Rainbow Room, or great blues music at Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie.

- Want a calm daytime activity? Check out the Country Music Hall of Fame or the National Museum of African American Music.

GULCH

- Love a good brunch? Milk and Honey is a great place to go, but be warned, you might be waiting a while if you arrive any later than 10am!

- If Milk and Honey is too busy, head down the street to one of Cat's favorite brunch spots, The Mockingbird.

- Rudy's Jazz Room is the only true jazz venue in town. Live music every night featuring local and nationally touring artists, and they have great gumbo!

- If you know Chris and Cat, you know that ramen is one of their favorite meals. Otaku Ramen is one of the best spots in town for ramen dishes.

- Pins Mechanical: whether it's life sized jenga, classic pinball machines, or duckpin bowling, this is a fun "old school" entertainment kind of place!

- Chauhan Ale and Masala House: during Cat's Grand Hyatt days, she would often order a Short Rib Naan for lunch. And by often I mean every other day.

EAST NASHVILLE

- Attaboy: This is Chris and Cat's favorite cocktail bar in town. No menu, just tell the bartender what you like and their mixologist will do the rest. May be a bit of a wait, so arrive early or be prepared.

- Whenever Chris and Cat would need to wait for Attaboy, they usually would go to Hawkers Asian Street Food for dinner. Not quite like the night markets in Chiang Mai, but good food and good vibes.

- Edley's BBQ: One of Nashville's staple BBQ places.

- Hunters Station: A smaller food hall with local chain restaurants. Vui's Kitchen is a favorite for both Chris and Cat.

- Five Points is the popular place to be in East Nashville. There are lots of great food and drink options here, as well as some cool shops to check out. Definitely be sure to grab a slice of Five Points Pizza while you're walking around.

WEDGEWOOD/HOUSTON (Near Wedding Venue)

- Grab coffee and small bites at Americano Lounge (and hang around for live music on weekends).

- Dance the night away at Flamingo Cocktail Club.

- Lots of great places to grab a drink after the wedding, including Never Never, Bastion, Jackalope Brewing, and New Heights Brewing.

- The BEST brunch spot in town is at Sinema - be sure to say hi to our friend and amazing GM, Brett Nelson! It is a bottomless brunch so bring your appetites.
