The District

This downtown area is the heart of Nashville's nightlife and is the home to countless bars and clubs.

Reviewed By joannesI3491IZ - Whitesboro, United States

Due to Covid-19 most everyone was masked and practiced social distancing as much as one can in a huge draw tourist place. I loved this as compared to Beale Street in Memphis. More country music, less soul. All interactions with locals were friendly. Lots of young wannabes around.If we were young again and back in our drinking days this would have been even better.

Downtown Nashville

Reviewed By 866TaylorB - Chicago, United States

Downtown Nashville, encircled by I-65, I-24 and I-40, features a diverse assortment of entertainment, dining, drinking, cultural and architectural attractions. Many of Nashville's famous nightspots are found on Broadway between 1st and 5th Avenues, better known as Honky Tonk Row. Most famous of all is Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, which dates to the emergence of Music City as the home of country music. Book a room at one of the many upscale hotels...the Westin Nashville, Omni Nashville, Sheraton Grand, Union Station, Hermitage, Renaissance Nashville, JW Marriott or Holiday Inn Express. Then visit the many attractions, including the historic 1892 Ryman Auditorium that still offers big-name concerts and backstage tours, the Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and George Jones Museums, the Country Music Hall of Fame, Tennessee State Capitol, Tennessee State Museum, Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena, Music City Center, Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, Nissan Stadium and Riverfront Park on the bank of the Cumberland River. Then take a break for lunch and dinner at one of the many restaurants, including Kayne Prime, Wildhorse Saloon, Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Biscuit Love, Arnold's Country Kitchen, Puckett's Grocery and Restaurant, Hard Rock Cafe, Peg Leg Porker BBQ or Ole Red. Everything is within walking distance and you'll never run out of something to see.

12 South

Reviewed By TXMARTINS - Atlanta, United States

This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Nashville! Beautiful historic bungalows, great shops like Draper James, amazing coffee at Frothy Moneky, & so many restaurants & bars. We had no problem finding street parking a block off & walking in. Definitely will be back the next time we are in town!

Printer's Alley

Small, gritty street lined with some of Nashville's best bars and restaurants.

Reviewed By 473cindyd

Many tourist will think this is lame if you just browse through. Don't bother to do if you aren't going to hear the music at the Bourbon Street Bar or to Eat Dinner at Skulls Rainbow Room. This is a big hang out for the locals. Great music and fool along with us knowing the history of Printers Alley. It's a night time location so if you are just browsing by you won't find the appeal. It's great music and food!
