Another one in walking distance! Really delicious food, my favorite was the Korean Fried Chicken! With libations that are lively and fun like the Porter's Suitcase its smokey with a blackberry jam. On top of all that they have 3 arcade machines with hundreds of old school video games! So cool!

If you’ve hit the Nashville Flea Market recently, you will notice that the parking lot of Smokin Thighs is packed. It’s located on Wedgewood and professes to have Nashville’s largest selection of moonshine. Indeed, they put their money where their mouth is with a happy hour that runs from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Their food truck has been popular for a long time, so it’s great to see that they’ve invested in bricks and mortar.

Must visit this ultra sophisticated speak-easy style bar while in Nashville! It's so classy, they don't have a sign outside. Just very small letters on the door. It's a small bar so there's a hostess that monitors the door, and only allows a certain number of people in at a time, to ensure that everyone has a seat. Cocktails are hand-crafted, very unique recipes, no "punch" served here. Very upscale and classy. Worth a visit!!!

Down a Dark, Shady, kinda creepy alley where it looks like evil lurks in the dark... But Alas... it's just Ambiance! (Actually, it's in what's known as Printers Alley.. you know... where printing factories used to be way back when.) Skull's is Old School.... and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The feel, the secludedness, the fantastic food, the entertainment, the service. It all works together to deliver a great experience. The ambiance is straight up Speakeasy-ish / Old School Steakhouse in a converted factory. Dark fixtures, small dining area that is below the stage area, low lighting; tiny kitchen and a cool bar with about 16 seats where I would imagine be packed and standing room only f

The tallest rooftop bar in Nashville has a trendy, open, and beautiful open patio. There is a wrap around full service indoor bar and a small bar that only has wine/beer outside. This place is trendy (everyone is taking a selfie and trying to angle their faces) and pricey. As of June 2017 its the tallest rooftop bar in the city but that wont last long as they are building a Marriott right beside it that will eclipse it.

Perfect place to hear some authentic bluegrass picken away from the noisy mega-honky tonks downtown. Intimate venue with no smoke smell that is much more family friendly (at least for teens) than anywhere else we went - the focus is on the music and not the drinking. It was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to do, give our music crazy 16 yo a night on the town. The owner plays a stand up bass and emcees when he and his buddies play and it's obvious they are having a blast. They book other acts and the cover varies depending on who's playing but we thought the "house band", who also play Sunday's for bluegrass night, were amazing. Prices were reasonable and the food is decent.

Go if you can get tickets! I was extremely elated to score tickets to a show. This glorious cafe is a must visit landmark.The club is famous (also featured on the hit show "Nashville") for intimate, acoustic music performed by some established ..some upcoming singers & songwriters... so you might be witnessing/hearing songs here for the first time before they go-on to land their record deal and become famous (Taylor Swift was discovered here). The singers sing to a small audience (seats about 100 people) The Bluebird has two shows a night, dinner is available at both shows ..Monday nights are Open Mic...

Small venue with great talent. Grimey (owner) somehow finds some of the best local and touring artists around to come and play. Tuesday nights are NEW FACES night. You can see up to 10 acts covering several different genres in one night. There is always something for everyone on New Faces. AND IT'S FREE. Make sure to check out their calendar, there's generally an early (6pm) and late (9pm) show every night.

The Grand Ole Opry is famous for a reason. The Opry hosts numerous concerts a week with big country artists and a live broadcast. They also host comedy shows and other types of events here as well. The backstage tour is awesome. If you are into music history then this is right up your alley. The tour guide will walk you around to show you the dressing rooms and the Opry membership plaques. Artists who are members are expected to perform at the Opry and show their dedication to this venue. Members have included artists from Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton to Carrie Underwood and Darius Rucker. At the end of the tour they let you get pictures on the stage on the wooden circle

The experience of the Ryman theater cannot be simply put into words. There is an energy that fills the place. Not sure if it's the history of the legends that have graced this stage or the emotions that the place brings in each person that walks through these doors. We have sat on the floor seats and balcony and both views are fantastic. They do offer drinks, and they are very expensive. But hey you are not there for the drinks. The best part of this place is when you can take a tour. Just DO IT! It's such a fun experience. The tour includes visiting back stage and on stage access.

This place is the perfect venue for an aging concert goer like myself. If you come early, you can sit at a table with service and everything. They get a wonderful and wide range of acts, from up and coming local bands, to 90s artists, and festive cover bands. The shows start on time, the space is very well designed, and there's just an amazingly intimate feel.
