Visiting Nashville in about a month and someone in our party is vegan. I look forward to trying some good Nashville southern bbq and hot chicken options but I’m worried that restaurants maybe closed off to providing vegan options at most restaurants.

Hi! Broke college student for school related event in Nashville in October. I’ll be flying in from Chicago around 9am. Event is at 5pm, and my flight back home will be at 5am the following morning. What should I do with those extra hours?

Trying to get from Nashville to Knoxville in a couple weeks, but rental car prices are nuts right now. Greyhound times don't really work for my schedule. Any suggestions on how to make this work that doesn't cost $1k?

Edit: $1k is the price to rent a car for two days (9/29-10/1), dropping off in Knoxville.

I’ll be visiting Nashville with a group of friends soon and I’m not really a “clubbing” type. Meaning I feel too and to go out dancing to a DJ playing house mix on a dance floor with 20 to 30 year old club scene crew. One of the individuals in the tour suggested we get a do a bar crawl:

My goal was to experience some local live music and get some good eats. Trying to decide if I should do this with my friends or go my own way and do my own thing.

Having never been there before Out of curiosity is this tour or something similar the best way I could experience the nightlife I’m looking for? Is it needed?

ETA: is getting a tour to bypass lines with it? Is it needed? Curious about lines and how long of waits to get in and cover charges?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! We're visiting Nashville in a few weeks. And we just found out about Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. On our last day which is a Thursday, is traffic good from Mammoth to BNA?

Currently planning to do a historic tour at 12:45pm and website says it's 120mins. So assuming it'll end on time at 2:45pm and then go to the car and leave at 3pm. Google maps says with traffic, travel time could be any time from 1hr30mins to 2hr20mins.

So we could be at BNA between 430pm-530pm. Our flight is at 6:16pm. Is that pushing our luck too much? 😅 we're not going to check any luggages and we don't have tsa-pre.

My husband and I are headed to Hawaii Monday and will be flying out of Nashville so we’re staying in Franklin Sunday night. We decided to leave Sunday morning and spend some time in Nashville.

What are some things for us to do? Is there stuff to do in Franklin? Or should we drive out to Nashville? Don’t want to stay out too late as we have to fly out early Monday morning!

So, I have friends coming to Nashville. They are looking for adult oriented souvenirs that are branded as Nashville. Although, they might be open to other "local" souvenirs. Specifically, they want penis shaped. Is there any place in Middle Tennessee that would have something like this? I already asked the Hustler. They said corporate just allowed them to sell a single t-shirt.

visiting, while a friend will be at 2800 Opryland drive, I'm looking for a H. I. nearby in a safe area, looking for suggestions

TIA

What honky tonk would you recommend that gives an authentic experience, has good food and that teens would enjoy?

Appreciate your insight!

Is there any tour company from Nashville going to Smokey Mountain? I am visiting for a bit and would love to go and see the / have easy hikes in the area, I do not have access to a car and am not looking to hire one.

Any suggestions on how to make this possible at a reasonable cost?

Hey all! Visiting Nashville next week. Are there any good areas to do some open play pickleball or somewhere beginner friendly?

im gonna be in town next wednesday for a concert @ the brooklyn bowl. the only concern i have is that there's another concert happening right before it and im nervous about trying to find parking. will there be solid options despite the influx of people or should we figure out another strategy?

My wife wants Pot Roast for her birthday this weekend. What's the best place to get Pot Roast? Bonus if it's on the West side of Nashville.

Also looking for recommendations for things to do. My boyfriend and I will be in Nashville for a week. We’ll be staying by downtown. We’re in our 30s and plan to hit broadway at least once, but were not huge drinkers or country music fans and would like other recommendations!

I am looking for a venue that has excellent food/drinks, a great atmosphere, and live music (I can hire a musician). We are looking for a venue downtown. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi all, we are looking to find large group dining options OR a private location & chef that can accommodate 25 to 30 people. This is for a birthday dinner on November 30th. Would love to hear your suggestions!

Hi!

We are hoping to find a restaurant within roughly 20 minutes of downtown Nashville for all of our guests that are coming to town for our wedding, for our rehearsal dinner. We want somewhere that gives a classier vibe over casual, but not so fancy that we’re paying more than about $65 per person. My in-laws are paying and have given us a budget to work with of about $65 per person for about 20 people. I’d like somewhere that it wouldn’t be weird or out of place to wear a nice dress to, and nowhere that could be described as honkytonk haha. I’m leaning towards somewhere that at least has steak option or two on the menu. But I’m having trouble finding somewhere that doesn’t have a food and bev minimum of at least $2000, which just doesn’t work for the budget we’ve been given. Any ideas are welcome!

Really the title. Just totally unfamiliar with the area. And not sure what the best place to park and walk to stadium or any public transit? Will be a family of 4. Two kids 11 and 16.

Bonus best place for Nashville hot chicken? Maybe just must have food we need to try while in town for the weekend?

Going to Nashville for my first time October 16th-21st. Looking for some low key good restaurants or hidden gems. I don’t post on tik tok or anything so I won’t share your secret spots. I heard there is a really good chicken spot but no one has given the name of said place. Interested in visiting some places as well that are out there. And how is the weather out there in the middle of October

Hey Gang - We are traveling with some friends that have never been to Nashville.

Saturday night, (Sept 14), they want us to take them to Broadway Street, but they are really hoping to find a band that plays dance tunes (anything 70's-current) that has a more pop/r&B genre.

Any recommendations?

Hi All,

So, the wife and I are going to visit during thanksgiving week.

My wife only wants to stay at luxury places and we can afford basically afford to (for the most part besides like ritz Carlton level places). At first I was set on staying at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, but then I wondered if it made more sense to stay at one of the luxury places like the Westin or JW Marriott or something like that.

If we want to hangout a lot and see all those live music and bars, does it make sense to stay at one of the other luxury places that are closer or is the Opryland cool enough to stay there the whole time and Uber around?

Thanks ahead of time! 🙏

Update: Thanks guys, decided to go with the W!

Already posted on the main Nashville sub and was directed here:

Alright guys I know there’s a lot of these posts on here and I’m sorry for adding one more, but they’re mostly years old so I’m looking for some more current info.

I’m coming to Nashville with 5 friends next weekend (September 19-22). So far, the plan is to go to a concert on Thursday at the ascend amphitheater (My Morning Jacket with Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats), go on a hike Friday or Saturday morning, and go bar hopping possibly all three nights.

Aside from bar hopping, what else is there to do for a group of guys in their early-mid 20s? Also, what’s the best hike in the area that can be done in a few hours? Nothing crazy challenging as a couple of our group are pretty out of shape.

Could be cool to go to a strip club as I’ve never been to one, but it’s not absolutely essential for my experience if there’s none worth going to.

Again, sorry to add another post to the pile of bachelor party posts but thanks so much for any info!

Title pretty much sums it up. Looking to get out of my hotel room for a drink or two and maybe some live music.

My wife and I are celebrating our 2nd anniversary at the beginning of October and I want to do something nice for a day trip. We have our babysitter from 8-5 so I need some ideas for a fun day time activity and a good place to eat. We’re only 2 hours away from Nashville. We’re not big drinkers, may have a craft beer during lunch but I don’t want something centered around booze. I’d really like to do a class or maybe something we could book and do together. I was going to do a murder mystery dinner but it goes too late. If anybody has any ideas for activities and great food I’d appreciate the insight!

Trying this again because they took this down in the Nashville subreddit. To be clear, I live here, just don’t go downtown very much (ever) so that’s why I’m asking.

Hey Nashville friends! I could use some help coming up with a fun plan for a colleague who is coming to Nashville for the first time next weekend.

She’s based in New York and is coming to my work to do some training, but also said she would love to go out at least once while she’s here. She specifically said “It’s hard being a country music fan in New York City. I need to be on Broadway while I have the chance.”

Now the thing is, downtown and Broadway is not my scene, so I have no idea where to take her that will scratch the Nashville country itch without making me absolutely miserable. So basically not Kid Rock’s. Any places you would recommend?

Pins Mechanical looks really cool and I'd love to give it a shot, but I've felt weird about going places alone before and since I don't know anyone in the area I'm worried it will just be a waste of time / regret. Anyone have any experience with going here solo?

Forgot to mention as it is probably relevant, I'm a guy in my very late 20's.

Need help- long story short:

-26F living in Fort Lauderdale fl, just moved here from st pete but originally from rural Iowa. -my LD bf lives in Huntsville, AL. We are looking to close the gap soon, my lease ends in March. He's staying in Huntsville but I don't want to live there so Nash seems like a good compromise to be closer but also not limit my opportunities -I work in marketing and hopefully will be remote, but also looking to grow my lash extensions and esthetics career eventually.

SO- thoughts?? I'm used to the hot weather, tourism and the awful traffic but please give me the reality. Would I regret it?? I love the western lifestyle but I feel like that's just a big tourist front.. I am a Midwest girl at heart and Nash feels like it could be a happy medium

I'm looking at studio apartments in the Germantown/salemtown area but also love the abberly and Presley... HELP!
