Where To Stay
Downtown Nashville
This is the heart of the city and an ideal location for a bachelorette party in Nashville if you're looking to be super close to the action. Some Downtown Nashville options are:
JW Marriott Nashville: Located in the heart of downtown, the JW Marriott Nashville is contemporary and upscale. There are also a few dining options and a rooftop pool.
The Hermitage Hotel: The Hermitage is a 5-star hotel, and a historic landmark in downtown Nashville. It's really close to popular spots like the Ryman Auditorium and Broadway.
Omni Nashville Hotel: Connected to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Omni Nashville Hotel is super convenient for accessing everything downtown. There is a full-service spa, rooftop pool, and a few dining options.
The Gulch
The Gulch is perfect if you're looking for more upscale options a little further from the downtown action. It's still central to Broadway (~5-10 minute Uber ride), and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The Gulch options:
The W Hotel: The W is in a great location. The rooms are also a decent size, and you can get a larger suite for groups to congregate. There are a few dining options, a rooftop bar, and a rooftop pool.
Thompson Nashville: Thompson Nashville is a boutique hotel known for its chic design. Most notably, it's the home to LA Jackson, a super popular rooftop bar.
Airbnbs
Dolly's Dream House: Sleeps 12 guests (4 bedrooms/7 beds) - Watkins Park
Insta-Ready Rooftop: Sleeps 12 (4 bedrooms/10 beds) - Midtown
The Dolly Den: Sleeps 12 (4 bedrooms/7 beds) - West End
2 Homes - Sleeps 20: Sleeps 20 (6 bedrooms/18 beds) - East Nashville
How To Get Around
Nashville is fairly walkable within the various neighborhoods. However, it's also easier to get around via RideShare. When you're heading to Broadway, be prepared to get dropped off a few streets away since most of the area is blocked off to cars.
Where To Eat
Brunch
White Limozeen: White Limozeen, located on top of the Graduate Nashville Hotel, offers a glamorous brunch experience, perfect for a bachelorette party. Its rooftop is very Instagram-worthy with pink, palm prints, and retro-inspired decor. There is an outdoor patio with pink umbrellas and views of the Nashville skyline. They take reservations, but only 14 days in advance, so be sure to set an alarm to book a spot when they open up-they fill up fast!
Hampton Social: Hampton Social is located in the Gulch and is another fun spot for bachelorette parties. It's super trendy and has fun decor too. The menu is more "coastal" themed with lobster rolls, oysters, etc. Be sure to get their famous Rosé Sangria or any cocktail served in pineapple and flamingo-shaped glasses.
Church & Union: Church & Union is a great spot for groups if you're looking for a fun, but more mellow vibe than White Limozeen or Hampton Social. The food is super good and perfect for groups.
Acme Feed & Seed: Acme is located on Broadway and is a multi-level venue that features a restaurant, bar, and live music.
A Quick Bite
Biscuit Love: Start your day off right with a visit to Biscuit Love, known for its mouthwatering biscuits and creative breakfast dishes. This spot is extremely popular, so arrive early or be prepared for a short wait.
Hattie B's Hot Chicken: No trip to Nashville is complete without trying hot chicken, and Hattie B's is a local favorite. You can eat in the restaurant, but you can also order to go or for delivery if you're with a group.
The Grilled Cheeserie: If your group is in the mood for gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, The Grilled Cheeserie is your spot. It's a food truck turned brick-and-mortar restaurant, and has an array of creative grilled cheese options, from classic melts to inventive combinations. They're famous for their "Pimento Mac & Chee" sandwich.
Five Daughters Bakery: Five Daughters Bakery is a must-visit for any sweet tooth. This family-owned bakery is famous for their 100-layer donuts.
Dinner
STK: STK has a great vibe, almost like you’re dining at a Vegas club. If you’re planning on coming here and want to be in the action, be sure to request a table in the main dining room. There is an upstairs room great for groups, but it's away from all the energy of the main dining room (if that’s what your group is looking for).
5th & Taylor: 5th & Taylor is located in the historic Germantown neighborhood of Nashville in a beautifully renovated warehouse. It's a great spot for a Nashville Bachelorette party looking for a "finer" dining experience.
The Southern Steak & Oyster: Located in downtown Nashville, The Southern Steak & Oyster is known for its steaks, oysters, and elevated Southern cuisine.
Adele's: Adele's is located in the Gulch and is a contemporary American restaurant. It's a good spot for a more mellow upscale dining experience with a group.
Where To Drink
Club/Bars
Nashville is obviously most famous for Broadway Street - a few blocks of multi-level country bars. You really can't go wrong with any bar. It’s even fun to bar-hop based on which bar seems like the most fun.
Here are some of the best for bachelorette parties:
Tootsies: Tootsie's is an iconic Nashville spot that has been open since 1960. Located on Broadway, this historic honky-tonk bar is a must-visit! The bar is 3 floors, including an outdoor space. Definitely add this to your list when you're planning a Nashville bachelorette party.
FGL (Florida Georgia Line): The Florida Georgia Line Bar is multi-level, and includes a rooftop deck with gorgeous views of the city skyline.
Jason Aldean: The Jason Aldean bar is another favorite, both during the day and evening. It's multi-level, with an outdoor space as well.
Acme: Acme is located on Broadway and has great music and food. There is also a rooftop area.
Dierks Bentley: Dierks Bentley is another great bar. The dance floor gets packed and the DJ plays all types of music - not just country. There is also a rooftop area if that's more your vibe.
Rooftop Bars
LA Jackson @ The Thompson Hotel: LA Jackson is one of our favorite rooftop bars in Nashville. This place is pure perfection, with stunning views, great vibes, and delicious drinks. LA Jackson is definitely a go-to for a memorable Nashville bachelorette party experience.
Proof @ The W Hotel: Proof is the spot to go for a "swanky" vibe. Located on top of The W hotel, it has great views. The food here is also delicious.
L27: L27 is located on top of the Westin Hotel. The vibe is chic and sophisticated, and the panoramic views of the city don't hurt either.
Day Drinking/Breweries/Wineries
Yazoo Brewing Company: Yazoo has become super popular in the Nashville brewery scene. It's located in the Gulch and has a wide range of beers. You can take a brewery tour and/or enjoy their outdoor patio.
Arrington Vineyards: Arrington Vineyards is located just outside of Nashville in Arrington, Tennessee. It was founded by country music artist Kix Brooks and has stunning views, wine tastings, and live music events.
Natchez Hills Winery: Situated in the beautiful rolling hills of Hampshire, Tennessee, Natchez Hills Winery offers a more relaxed setting. They have a good selection of wines to taste, and you can enjoy their outdoor patio or go on a guided tour.
What To Do
Shopping
Uncommon James: Kristin Cavallari's jewelry store, located in the Gulch.
Kittenish: Jessie James Decker's boutique located in the Gulch.
Draper James: Reese Witherspoon's clothing and home goods store located in 12South.
Exploring/Tours
Party Bus: A popular bachelorette party activity is getting an open party bus. The bus takes you through downtown while you're listening to music and dancing. Most let you stock the bus with your own alcohol too. For a more Instagram-able open party bus, try the Miss Avery Grace bus through Upstage Party Bus.
Honky Tonk Highway Party Bike: On the Honky Tonk Highway Party Bike you can pedal through downtown Nashville while getting a tour of downtown Nashville.
Country Music Hall of Fame: If your bride is super into country music and wants to do something other than drink on Broadway, head to the Country Music Hall of Fame. You can explore exhibits, learn about legendary artists, and sometimes catch a live performance.
