Things to do in Nashville
Honky Tonk Party Bus: This was probably the highlight of our trip. We were in an open-air bus and were able to blast our favorite tunes while being chauffeured down Broadway, drinking and dancing to our heart's content.
Country Music Hall of Fame: For any country music fans, this is a must-see! There is so much history to learn, and it is full of artifacts from all eras of country music.
The Parthenon: A full-size replica of the one built in Greece, the Parthenon is something cool and different to see in the middle of the U.S.
Enjoy Live Music on Broadway: See my list below for all the bars I recommend on Broadway, but you really can't go wrong. Follow your ears to whichever sounds best to you and pop in for a song or a drink!
Moonshine Tasting: Moonshine is definitely a unique drink if you've never tried it before. This tasting and tour at Ole Smokey Distillery allows you to learn a bit about the process in addition to tasting the strong stuff!
Pedal Tavern: I didn't personally travel on one of these during any of the bachelorette trips I've been on (so far), but these pedal bikes passed us a lot and it always looked like a blast! They also seemed to cover a good bit of ground so you get to see sights of the city.
Places to eat & drink in Nashville
Food:
Hattie B's: There are Hattie B's all over Nashville, including a location on Broadway. They have delicious hot chicken sandwiches, but be prepared to wait. The line was at least 40 minutes the last time I went.
Sun Diner: Sun Diner was a great casual breakfast dining experience, perfect to cure your hangover and get a taste of Southern biscuits.
Hampton Social: This is a great spot to get bottomless brunch with the girls during the Bachelorette. The prices were pretty reasonable, and there were breakfast options for everyone in our party.
Acme Feed and Seed: Acme Feed and Seed is a restaurant and bar near the end of the Broadway strip. Like many bars on Broadway, there is live music and a rooftop; however, the food was also very good. There was a larger space for dancing and getting close to the band than I saw at a lot of the other bars, which was enjoyable.
Bars:
Luke Bryan's: This bar has multiple floors of stages, bars and bands. The top floor had the most party-like vibe while the ground floor was a bit more mellow. Our group had a great time here and stayed for the majority of one of our nights.
Whiskey Row: Dierks Bentley's bar was one of my favorites during our time in Nashville. I thought the bands and bar service were consistently splendid.
Kid Rock's Honky Tonk: Kid Rock's has one of the largest stages on a ground floor of the honky-tonk, meaning as soon as you walk in your immediately in the middle of the party!
Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa: Casa Rosa is essential for any bachelorette party. It's filled with feminine decor, a major contrast to most of the more masculine bars on Broadway. They had a great band, and drinks were easy to get at the bar.
