Nashville recs

My standard recommendation...must have one meal at Jack's BBQ.


Beyond that...go to the Country Music Hall of Fame and take the tour of RCA Studio B.

This, the amount of history in this building is amazing...

Martin's or Jack's BBQ, drinks at roof top at Tootsie's or the Bobby, Rippy's, pop into the other honkey tonks on Broadway. Puckett' is good too. There are some cool places in the gulch too whiskey kitchen, biscuit love, peg leg porkers. Museums for very famous country singer

Lived here for 20 years. Love it.

Sports (if in season still)

Take in a Sounds game
Schedule

Titans game (Nissan Stadium)
Schedule

History

So much Civil War history if you're into that. Ft. Negley. Go to Franklin and see Carton. Carter House.


Brunch

Okay, I'm into going to Brunch around here lately. Tried some great places like Mockingbird, but many others. Butcher and Bee already mentioned. Check out 5th and Taylor.

Places To Try

Roof Top Bars

A "thing" here and you'd love them. Acme is the most famous, but LA Jackson (Rooftop Bar at Thompson) is a great one.
Link

Outdoorsie Stuff

Hike the amazing Radnor Lake State Park or Warner Parks.

Go Kayaking on the Duck River. Not that far really and it's fun. Duck Canoe

Food

Good guide!

Good Guide Part Deux!

Butcher and Bee was mentioned, so that's a good one. Germantown has an amazing amount of places to go and not far from down town. "The Gulch" is another popular area near down town.

I really haven't found a "great" restaurant down town personally. And, having grown up on some of the best 'Q in the South (Peebles), my personal opinion of the local options is 'meh.

Pinewood Social is a neat place overlooking the river and worth a look.

If you like Indian, Definitely go to Chauan Ale Masala off of the 12th (she owns that, Mockingbird and Tansu).

Husk for great (and expensive) dining in an old home.

Burgers? Gabby's (by the old Grier Stadium) or Rotiere's (old school near Vandy).

Music

OMG. You can walk anywhere and hear great music.

My personal favorite venues:

City Winery

Schermerhorn Symphony Center
(more than just the symphony!)

Ryman Auditorium - Music Mecca!

Country Music Hall of Fame Concert Hall (best in town IMHO)

This will get you started, but it's an amazing place to visit.

We can argue the best BBQ in town, but Jack's is not in that conversation. Nashville also isn't a big BBQ town to begin with.

For the record, I vote Martin's or Peg Leg if you want BBQ in Nashville.

The Patterson House has been closed for awhile.

I don't personally think so. The Gaylord does have some nice bars and restaurants though. But it is a close enough distance to downtown I wouldn't.

Jackalope is another Nashville brewery that has good beers.
Right next to peg leg porker which is decent BBQ.
