Germantown — wine.dine.nashville.

This historic neighborhood close to downtown has mimosas as big as your head and award-winning restaurants at every turn.

Distance from Downtown: 1.2 miles/8-min drive or scooter
The Vibe: Historic meets new. Germantown dates back to 1786 when mostly German immigrants moved to this part of town; however, you’ll also find new apartment buildings, the massive Nashville Sounds baseball stadium, and award-winning restaurants. There are a number of Black-owned businesses to support in this neighborhood, too: Germantown Pub, Slim & Husky’s, and EG & MC Cocktail Bar.

O-ku in Germantown is the perfect place for sake, edamame, miso soup, and specialty sushi rolls.

The Optimist

The Optimist in Germantown is a must-try. From the cocktails, to the service, to the seafood, to the Beignet Hushpuppies served with cane syrup butter… everything here is perfection.

Von Elrod's Beer Hall & Kitchen

Grab a pint of beer or mimosa as big as your head, chow down on a huge homemade pretzel, or go full German and get a bratwurst. I personally love coming here for brunch.
