Nashville, TN Restaurant Guide

Nashville, TN is a city known for its sound – it’s called Music City, USA after all.  And even though millions travel to the city for an auditory experience, the other four senses have plenty to enjoy.  With a charming downtown, hip neighborhoods and colorful characters there’s lots to see in Nashville.  Between smoky barrooms and beautiful BBQ smokers, you’ll have lots to smell on your visit.  Wonderful microbreweries and great dance halls give you plenty to feel.  And finally, with world-class restaurants featuring the best Southern, Asian, Soul Food and Nashville specialties like Hot Chicken, there’s enough taste to last a lifetime.  

To start, let’s focus on where you’re likely to find the most out of towners when visiting Nashville, Broadway.  The iconic strip in the heart of downtown Nashville is home to numerous bars and restaurants, all featuring live music that can be heard from the streets.  In a town known for iconic musicians like Dolly Parton, Jack White, Sheryl Crow, and others, the Broadway strip is where the next icons rise to the top.  It’s also where you can find an alarming amount of bachelorettes – Nashville has become one of the country’s Bachelorette party capitals, earning the new nickname, NashVegas.

There’s more to Nashville than the main strip, however.  Up and coming neighborhoods like The Gulch and East Nashville have seen a rise in hip, young people coming from cities all around the country to settle in this up and coming city.  It’s estimated that over 100 people per day are moving to Nashville from bigger cities like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.  As more and more folks have brought their big city experiences and tastes to Nashville, the restaurants and bars have been more than ready to match the demand.

In addition to big city folks making Nashville home, some of the country’s best and brightest have been flocking to the City to attend Vanderbilt, known to some as “The Harvard of the South”.  The college, located in Nashville’s midtown, has had a great restaurant and bar scene near campus over the decades to accommodate those parent visits from all around the country.  Now, that scene has exploded, as the latest influx of students has demanded more variety in their restaurant choices.
