Great vibe, love the patio and fireplaces, menu has a wide variety so there's something for everyone... their steak frites, grilled oysters, and margarita are some of my favorites in town ! You might want to grab a reservation.

This is one of my go-to spots when I have friends in town. Great upscale food, atmosphere, and service. It leans Italian but you can get a pizza or a steak, and the appetizers and sides are great as a meal too. I never knew I liked Brussels sprouts until this place. They also have the best Manhattan everrrrrrr.

Trendy restaurant/bar/coffeeshop/bowling alley. This is a really cool place. It's not unusual to see people working on their computers on leather couches with a cup of Crema coffee but at the back of the restaurant is a bowling alley and the patio has bocceball, a dipping pool, and in the summer an airstream serving tacos and burgers, etc. The middle portion is the restaurant and bar. Don't miss the fried broccoli. Sounds weird, but TRUST ME. The burger is great too and my favorite time to go is for weekend brunch

It's not the cheapest bagel in town but when you walk in and see all the unique and endless cream cheese options you'll forget about cost. It's like a quaint New York Deli with tons of lunch and baked good options too. I love the Matzo ball soup!

Upscale restaurant converted from an old movie theater. There are old movies on the big screen and lots of cozy spots to lounge upstairs at the bar in addition to a full service restaurant. It's also the best women's restroom in town. Can't vouch for the men's ! :)

Nashville is known for "Hot Chicken" and Hattie B's is one of the best! If you go during peak times you will wait in a very long line, so maybe try an off-time. Ask about heat levels when you order. If you like spice, this is the place for you! and there's a new location just down the street on 2222 8th ave.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is my go to after a night of honky-tonking on Broadway when i'm ready for some greasy comfort food before heading home. One side is the bar where you will hear live music and find a hilarious wall of "famous mullets" and the other side is some of the best burgers, tater tots, and hand-breaded chicken tenders. I always take friends here because not only is the food great but the place has a great sense of humor.

This might be my favorite bar in town. Not only is it walking distance but it's a great hang with friendly bartenders and some of the best craft cocktails i've ever had. Try the "punch of the day" and they also serve nachos that are to die for (that's their only food item on the bar side). Enjoy their extensive vinyl collection and play pacman and chill in this quirky joint. The later you go the louder it gets so if you want to relax and have friendly conversation, go early !

Arts & Culture

If you're a country music fan this is a "must do." Even if you aren't it's definitely still interesting. They change up the exhibits often and you'll learn things you never knew about your favorite artists, see what they wore , and learn some good musical history.
