Downtown/Broadway — wine.dine.nashville.

Legendary Honky Tonks, tons of tourists, and a must-do if you’re visiting Nashville! Downtown is most famous for “Lower Broadway”, where you can find the Honky Tonks - a strip of historic bars with free live music.

Distance from Downtown: You’re here! Walk to dozens of shops and restaurants. If you’d like to go to other neighborhoods you will have to scooter, drive or Uber/Lyft.

The Vibe: Tourist-y. You will not find many locals downtown. This is the place to go if it’s your first time visiting Nashville.

Bobby Hotel Rooftop Lounge

One of the trendiest rooftop bars in the city! During the holidays, it’s transformed into a winter wonderland with heated igloos, fireplaces, blankets, and a special holiday menu.

Bourbon Steak

Bourbon Steak on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott Hotel makes the best date night ever. Sweeping views of the city, delectable food, and hand-crafted cocktails.

Black Rabbit

Located in the historic Printer’s Alley downtown, Black Rabbit has a cozy yet spacious speakeasy atmosphere.

Merchants (First Floor)

Merchants (First Floor Bistro) in downtown Nashville is right on the Honky Tonk Strip on Broadway. I like this place because while the honky tonks are fun and all, sometimes I need a break for some quality food and a nice cocktail.

Acme Feed & Seed

If you want some good food, need some air conditioning, want one of the best rooftop view of downtown, while still having that “Honky Tonk” feel, head to Acme at the end of the strip.
