I have lived in Nashville for about a year and a half and let me tell you it is quite the happening place. Ever since moving here I haven't once thought about leaving even when things weren't going the way I had planned. It is literally one of the perfect cities to be in when you are young. You are surrounded by great food, amazing live music, kind people and good shopping.
If you are reading this then you are either a big supporter of me (hell yeah!) or you are planning to take a trip to Nashville when all of this craziness is over, even better. I am here to give you a list of must-sees for your weekend here in Nashville all from an insiders perspective. This is pretty lengthy but here we go! Breakfast: Wakey Wakey...time to get the weekend started! First let's throw on a cute outfit because you know you want to get a cute Instagram picture. Be sure to check the weather as the humidity can be brutal and the rain can sneak up on ya. Let's just pretend its sunny lol Grab a cute dress, some strappy sandals, a cute crossbody handbag and your favorite pair of sunglasses and let's head on out. Milk & Honey in The Gulch. This place is adorable and the food is amazing! You may want to call ahead and put your name in for a reservation so you don't have to wait long for a table but trust me the food is worth the wait. No matter what type of palate or preferences you have I guarantee you they have something on the menu for everyone. Personally for me I love their Big Kid Breakfast and their Iced Chai Latte is refreshing and to die for! Liberty Common This restaurant transports you to Paris as soon as you walk in the doors. It's so aesthetically pleasing and it is the perfect place to brunch with your girls! I love their buttermilk pancakes and their coffee comes in huge white mugs. Also, if you can try the Pommes Frites, they are absolutely delicious. The Diner The perfect place to go when you are looking to keep it casual. The Diner is a 5 floor diner right in the heart of downtown Nashville. If it is a beautiful day & you get the chance to eat on the top floor they open all of the garage door windows and you can look right out to the city while you eat. Great coffee complete with a great view! Lunch Jonathan's Grille Right in Historic Germantown, a great casual sports bar to grab a tasty lunch with your crew. The Fiesta Wrap is 10/10. Butchertown Hall Another great place located in the Germantown area. The perfect place for Texas style BBQ and amazing craft tacos. Let's not forget Margaritas!! Hattie B's A classic that needs to be added to any Nashville trip. Nashville Hot Chicken is a staple and is amazing. Now, if you have a baby mouth like me make sure you get the most mild option for sauce. I love getting their chicken tender plate, mac and cheese and creamy coleslaw for sides! Dinner Cocos Italian Restaurant/Market Literally the best Italian food. When you first walk in you enter an Italian Market full of great foods with an espresso and gelato bar then the restaurant is off to the left. It just feels so warm and at home. I love their chicken marsala, the fried raviolis and the tiramisu. Ugh it just brings back serious feels of my great grandmas house! One of my top recommendations for a nice dinner. Pucketts Mine and Tom's favorite casual place in downtown Nashville. They have live music playing and its atmosphere is very laid back and southern. If you go there try their PIGGY MAC or their Brisket Taco Salad! Merchants Right on Broadway and the perfect place to grab dinner before a concert! They serve this delicious popcorn that is seasoned in I don't know what but it is the most amazing popcorn ever. I always get their Moscow Mule with the Linguine Pomodoro. San Anejo Such a great Mexican restaurant in The Gulch! Definitely a good place to go with friends to grab drinks and some amazing tacos. Drinks Luke Bryan's Bar Lukes is right on the corner of 3rd and Broadway, this bar has 4 floors, 4 stages and is connected to Jason Aldean's bar through the rooftop. If you step in here you are going to have a good time and will be able to find a spot to enjoy yourself. They have a SUSHI bar guys and when standing on the rooftop you can see all down broadway. FGL House A little off the beaten path of Broadway sits FGL House. This is Florida Georgia Line's restaurant/bar, it is the perfect place to grab something to eat and then head up stairs to have a great time and grab some drinks. They have a rooftop with such comfortable sofas that you can just chill on and be removed from Broadway a little bit. Bobby Hotel Roof The Bobby's Rooftop bar is located on the top of The Bobby Hotel so you just have to walk in and make sure that you take the right elevator to the rooftop but it is such a cute rooftop to see. They have cabanas and an old bus that is hollowed out that you can sit in and you can also play a game of cornhole. The views are amazing too! You can look right out and see Titans Stadium, the Cumberland River and the Pedestrian Bridge. In the winter, they have heated igloos that you can sit inside off and drink with your loved ones as well. Pins Mechanical One of the coolest places to go hang out and grab drinks with your friends that is not on Broadway. It is full of "old school fun" You can play pinball, fooseball, Duckpin, ping pong, bocce, Giant Connect 4, Giant Jenga, all while getting drunk with your friends off of their craft beers and spirits. Experiences Predators Game You are guaranteed to have a good time at a Preds game even if you aren't a hockey fan. Concert at Bridgestone There is seriously not a bad seat in the house. If you are able to grab tickets to a concert while you are here, I highly recommend. Centennial Park A great place in the city of Nashville to go for walks or even a picnic. A beautiful park located in West End that is the home of the Parthenon! Tennessee State Museum If you are a history buff this place is amazing and its free! It is full of information about Tennessee from the creation of the world to the current day with amazing interactive video and tons and tons of cool artifacts. It will easily eat up a good chunk of your day. Marathon Motorworks An old car factory that has been transformed by shops, places to eat and even a distillery where you can do tastings. Grab a coffee at Barista Parlor and shop for some truly unique Nashville finds that you won't find anywhere on Broadway. Shopping Two Old Hippies (Gulch) A true gem hidden in The Gulch. The place to go for some great Nashville fashion, jewelry, and little knick knacks. Also they shot an episode of the show Nashville in the back on the stage they have in the store. Crue (12th South) Such a cute shop full of athleisure! It tends to be on the pricer end but it is all stuff you dream about having in your wardrobe. Hillsboro Village (Tons of cute shops) Too many to list lol! A great place to do some shopping and you can easily kill some time because there are so many stores. Alexis & Bolt This one is still on my own list to physically go too since the pandemic kinda wrecked those plans but I do follow them on Instagram and their clothes are amazing!! A great place for some denim or to build a chic kinda edgy look. L&L Market Known as Nashville's Delightful Destination, this building has such a rich history of being a mill and then a restaurant company. Now, it has become a one stop shop for all of the things. Pick up some flowers from Amelias, take a class at Cyclebar, get your eyelashes done at City Lash or do some shopping at Happily Grey, No matter who you are you are bound to find something to enjoy here. And finally, grabbing a quick coffee? Skip the coffee chains and stop at a local coffee shop like the ones listed below: Barista Parlor Crema Steadfast Frothy Monkey Again, these are all suggestions! If you have anything not on this list please go do it this is just the perfect thing to look at if you run out of ideas. Nashville is great place to be and it is so easy to have a good time here! If you ever get the chance to visit, I promise you won't be let down. Be Kind & Spread Love, xoxo Alyssa
