I'm coming to Nashville for Christmas, it looks a bit more welcoming than NYC.

I'm single for the first time on Christmas and I want to meet other singles to hang out and have fun.

I am looking at a place near Lower Broadway to stay.

Where should I go? I will be solo.

Lived in Nashville for 30 years and moved away a few years ago. Last time I was back I barely recognized anything. I usually only come back for family/work and rarely go out the few days I’m back. This time I’ll be in town for a week, my wife is coming with me and it will also be her birthday. I’d love some suggestions to take her for a nice dinner. I moved from Nashville in 2020 so I’d like a restaurant newer than that so I can try something new as well. We have done all the old school Nashville standards and we love all types of food. The main thing is quality, ambiance and keep it local. No chains or places that are trying too hard. She doesn’t drink so that part doesn’t have to be a focal part of the equation. Also since we’re going to be there for a week, is there anything else I’ve missed out on in the last 5 years I need to check out? I DO drink and she definitely doesn’t mind going out for a good time, but I’m not going near Broadway unless it’s for a Preds game or the Ryman. So any other suggestions would be awesome, and I already am very familiar with Dee’s. Thanks!

Hello Nashville!

Canadian here, who has been to your lovely city twice now (just got back yesterday, in fact), and I'm still puzzled by the taxi service there. There are obvious taxis, most prominently at the airport, with taxi names and the TAXI roof light. But there are these fleets of black SUVs driving around downtown that are picking up and dropping people off. And both times we asked our hotel to get us a cab to the airport, it's been an unmarked "regular" vehicle (once was one of the big black SUVs) with no taxi markings and no fare meter inside.

Yes, I understand the whole Uber thing. Is our hotel getting us an Uber? Are there private car services there outside of Uber (i.e., these black SUVs?). Please help a guy out. Thanks very much!

I will be coming to Nashville next week and staying at the Hutton. How is that are for walking around? I will not have my own transportation but will have free time in the evenings. Is there plenty to do or should I plan on ubering around? Any thing that is a must see, it’s my first time staying in Nashville!

Cackling to myself right now because I was halfway through booking tickets for the Friday 9pm show at Bluebird this week when they sold out. Did some googling, found that the odds of getting a walk-up for the late show are non-existent, so decided to go see what other live music I could reserve that night, even though I was bummed to miss Adam James... only to find out, lo and behold, that Adam James is playing the 6pm show at the Listening Room that night as well, with >100 tickets left.

As great as I'm sure the ambience at Blue Bird is, I'll get to see the music I wanted to, at an earlier time, and closer to downtown and where I'll be staying.

ANYWAYS, because there was a question in all this (on top of a PSA for disappointed Adam James fans to grab one of those dwindling Friday Listening Room tickets); any other recs for this week with live music or linedancing downtown? December seems to be a bit weird for the usual circuit from what I can see online, but any writers sets today through Saturday that you know of, please feel free to drop a comment!

Will be visiting Nashville 12/14 - 12/15 what are some good hotels to stay at in downtown?

Me and my girlfriend are visiting Nashville for 3 days in late December and want to know if there is anything we must do! We are the nerdy type. I am looking forward to trying the food (restaurant suggestions welcome) and we arnt really into country music. Any suggestions/ideas are welcome!

We are visiting this upcoming weekend and staying in an AirBNB close to Belmont University. We are there for a sled hockey tournament (para-athlete hockey) for one of our kids so we have certain "windows" of time to enjoy the city. We would like help from this community getting ideas to complete our itinerary for our trip. Our kids are 16, 13, 11, 8, 6. We would prefer activities more catered to the older portion of the group as the youngers always seem to find fun in anything:

Things we would like to do: 1) Get the kids to live music 2) Check out holiday themed events (considering some kid friendly 'pop-up bars'). Specific ideas were Ryman Holiday Tour on Saturday. Listening room show. Pancake Pantry Whoville Popup Bar (wish we could afford and get into Geists -- looks amazing)

General Schedule:

Friday

5pm - 10pm - Open

Saturday

8:15 - 10:00 am - Game 1 - Brentwood area

10:00 am - 5pm -- Open

6:15 - 8pm - Game 2 - Brentwood area

8:00 - 10:00 pm - Open

Sunday --> games and leave

Does using a spot hero QR code still print out a ticket for parking? I was having issues with a machine at a parking garage in Downtown Nashville putting my code to the laser but it was giving me trouble, I ended up tapping around the screen but nothing happened, I put my QR code back to the scanner and it printed a ticket out. Wanted to make sure this is normal or a product of my screen tapping? Thanks!

Visiting Nashville tomorrow for 10 days for a work trip. Interested in recommendations on some of the following:

• Dive bars - particularly if they lean punk/goth/metal. I've got Cobra on my list but is it sketchy? Saw there were stabbings recently.

• Irish bars - I'm from Ireland and live on the west coast where they are poor, if there's anything solid in Nashville let me know.

• Pro wrestling events - I couldn't seem to find anything for when I'm there but if anyone knows anything - that would be great.

• Thrift/antique store recommendations.

• Record stores (Third Man is on the list - regularly visit the Detroit location)

• Any must do Nashville experiences?

I'll be hitting up tonnes of the museums while there and am sad there are no Predators games while I'm in town. Thanks in advance!

Would love some advice ahead of a trip to Nashville.

I’ve already booked a double show at Zaines and will be catching a Predators game. Definitely want to check out the music scene and get some amazing food (I’ve heard good things).

I’m a big whiskey & bourbon fan, love music, sports and street photography.

My questions are:

• Where to stay (preferably somewhere close to the action, I’ve looked into SoBro, Downtown or midtown. Budget is 140/night max)
• What can I do to fill the days with a mix of nature, museums, long city walks, bars and meeting people
• What kind of weather should I expect?
• What spending budget would I need to ensure I maximise my time without missing anything major? (my max atm is 200/day which I think would be definite overkill)
• How safe is the city? (Being from London I’m used to one earphone only and always checking my surroundings, but is there anything specific I should be aware of or avoid?)

Any and all advice is welcome 😁

Hi! My family will be in Nashville from 12/12 to 12/15, and we’re looking for recommendations on restaurants and activities. We enjoy music, sports, and drinking, and the family prefers more basic food options, if that helps. We’re not too interested in Broadway and would prefer spots off the beaten path. For reference, we’ll be staying near downtown. Thanks in advance!

We're visiting this weekend. We're in our early 30's. Currently live in Alabama. We ain't got much here.

We like • video games • tabletop games • MTG (Magic the Gathering) • DnD • anime • romance • experiences • different food

We're down for just about anything. Not too expensive.

Hii! Thinking of visiting Nashville mid December and was wondering how the weather is like. We will be coming from LA 🌞

Looking to come to Nashville within the next month, we are wanting to stay somewhere with nice soaking tub in the room. Any suggestions?

We are in Nashville for 2 nights, I’m keen to book one of the premium packages at the Grand Ole Opry for the Friday night and want to do that asap to secure the best seats possible, this would leave us only the Thursday for Bluebird. Are there always gigs on to book in advance? (Albeit closer to the date) If that was our key focus for the day is it easier to get into an earlier show?

Hello, I’m visiting Nashville with my family this evening (Wed. before Thanksgiving). We’re all 21+ but we need to find something to do. I’m open to anything. Music bars, artsy stuff, comedy, trivia, etc.

I don’t love country music, but I really like EDM, disco, 70s/80s music, alt music, and I’m super into German pop rn. Folksy music is ok, but I’m looking for a scene with a lil more energy. I couldn’t convince my family to do Dungeons and Drafts with me, so that’s a no-go. I’m into the nerdier things in life, so if there’s some kind of trivia or game night or just a bar with like some geeky energy, I’m all ears!

Let me know what yall think we should try!

Visiting 2/14

Will be visiting for the weekend of 2/14. Looking for a higher end steakhouse that the locals recommend that is within walking distance of Bridgestone arena. I have googled but i want to know where the locals go-to spot is.

I have Celiac so need to be able to trust kitchen staff to not cross contaminate with gluten.

All help is appreciated.

hey! my partner and i are planning a trip out to nashville for a few days (mon-fri). what are some activities/sightseeing/attractions to see? we’ve been before for a weekend and have done broadway (fun!) but wanna see the city more. Any recommendations on attractions and restaurants are appreciated! :)

Hi everyone,

I’ll be spending Thanksgiving weekend in Tennessee, and I’m looking for suggestions for things to do! I’m open to daytime or nighttime activities on Friday, Saturday, or even Thanksgiving Day itself.

I love exploring unique spots, great food, cozy vibes, and anything fun or festive for the season. Bonus points for scenic views, charming local spots, or places with a great atmosphere.

Any recommendations for events, restaurants, hikes, or just general things to check out would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Metallic in May! Staying from 1st till the 4th Need advice on parking for nissian stadium! And also hotel or Airbnb nearby!

Sup yall,

My friend and I are planning to come to Nashville for the first time in about a month. We need some ideas as to what exactly to do though, we plan on going for like 3-5 days since we always talked about it but we need advice on where to go. Here’s some stuff we’re looking into specifically:

Hit a predators game. Main reason we thought of coming. Is there stuff to do at Bridgestone on gameday, like tours or just walk around and find stuff? Also, where’s the cheapest place to get preds merch?

Try actual Nashville hot chicken. Where’s the best place for it? Also we want to go somewhere with good southern bbq.

Best bars?

Biggest/best liquor stores?

Best breweries? Priority goes to the ones that give away the most samples or merch (No we are not alcoholics, promise).

Any other fun stuff we should do or places we have to go? We’re trying to fill up another day or two, so any advice would be cool. Thanks!

My partner and I are coming to Nashville next week for Thanksgiving. The plan was to go visit family, but alas they cannot "support homosexuality"...

Anyways, now I am looking for dinner reservations for Thanksgiving. Any recommendations for local places that are also lgbtq friendly? I lived in Nashville back in 2018, but it has changed a lot since then.

I lived in Nashville for years before moving away a few years ago but my sisters still live in the suburbs and we are convening at Bridgestone next month to see Justin Timberlake. We are going out to eat beforehand and would love to find a nice sit down restaurant like Adele’s or Deacon’s New South price wise and close to Bridgestone.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Hushpuppies being on the menu is a plus but not necessary. Right now it’s just four of us but three more sisters may join so restaurants with that kinda space would be amazing too. Trying to book reservations soon! Thank yall!

I’m visiting this city for the first time. It’s been on my list since 2017. To give you timeframe, it’s not because everyone else is moving there. Where do the locals go? I like visiting cities, and go where it’s not saturated by tourists. I like comedy, live music at breweries, walking in and out of local shops for example. Yes, I’ll be avoiding Broadway. Maybe stop at a corner and look at it. But that’s not my speed.

My husband and I will be visiting the weekend after Thanksgiving. Staying near Broadway. Looking for good non-chain restaurants and a good place to watch nfl games Sunday 12/1. So excited to go! TIA!

Hi!! I’ll be spending my 21st birthday in Nashville on Nov 30, and am trying to find places to go with an under 21 friend. She wouldn’t be using a fake (because I’m assuming it simply won’t work lol) and is kind of gonna act as a glorified DD the whole weekend. What cool places can we go with her also being able to get in? Also wondering if any party buses would allow an U21 who won’t drink. Thanks in advanced!

We will be there Dec 27-30. Thinking about getting a hotel room right in the middle of town so we can walk everywhere. Neither of us drink alcohol. We both like music, food, art, and outdoor activities. Not looking to break the bank, but open to spending a little for the right experiences. What should we see/do? Any great places to stay? Any to avoid? Thanks!

Catching a show at Eastside Bowl in a few months and didn't see any decent hotels nearby. Looking for a nicer hotel with a bar to relax at before/after. Am I better off getting one a bit farther away and Uber'ing? Any recommendations?
