Nashville Travel Guide

June 28, 2021
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Nashville is one of my favourite cities in America! I could most definitely go back again and again and again, and I sure hope I will, as my Nashville wish list always seems to be growing, rather than shrinking. Two of the times I’ve been, I have joined in the fun and festivities of the CMA Fest, and I highly, highly recommend that – you may never want to see another concert ever again afterwards, because you really get the chance to see so much talent all in one go! That being said, going at a time when you aren’t surrounded my festival mania, will allow you to see much more of Nashville, so you really can’t go wrong either way. I hope you love country music, because you will be seeing it on every corner, and in every bar/restaurant (along with other genres, of course), but it really is something! I hope you fall in love with Nash!

Activities

  • The CMA Fest – I’ve had the pleasure of attending this festival twice, and if you go for that reason, you’re set! From stadium concerts every night with multiple headliner names, to outdoor shows all day everyday at various venues throughout downtown Nashville, you’ll never be without a tune in your head
  • Ryman Auditorium – head there for a show, or just to tour it
  • Broadway – just walk down the strip, pop into a bar and hear some live tunes! Some suggested bars: Tootsies (this one is on Broadway), Losers, The Red Door Saloon, FGL House
  • Pedal Tavern – if you have a group, this is the most fun, but you can also book per person; includes so many of my favourite things – “working out,” music, drinking, being outdoors, and a whole lot of fun! Great for a bachelorette or any group event of that sort!
  • The Country Music Hall of Fame – now this is my kind of museum
  • If you’re up for a travel day, head to Memphis, Tennessee and see Graceland where Elvis lived. While you’re there, eat at BB Kings Blues Bar. We stayed in Memphis for multiple days, and probably didn’t need that long, in my personal opinion

Other activities that I didn’t get a chance to do, but were recommended and/or researched:

  • See the Nashville Predators take on your favourite hockey team at the Bridgestone Arena
  • Take in all the other sports Nashville has to offer
  • The Bluebird Cafe – this has been on my wish list for so long and I still haven’t made it there!
  • Grand Ole Opry – for a show or a tour (definitely a trek from downtown)
  • Hike at Percy Warner – you can pretty much explore these trails all year long!
  • Exit/In or Cannery Ballroom – to see up and comers
  • Pinewood Social – bowling alley and bar!
  • Legends on the Corner or Roberts – some other good bars to check out on Broadway
  • Omni Hotel – for a pool party

Now to the Food…

Restaurants

  • Whiskey Kitchen – great pub, even for the sweet potato fries alone
  • The Old Line Bar & Grill – go here for the atmosphere
  • Mas Tacos Por Favor – worth the wait to get in!
  • Rolf & Daughters – get a reservation, and order as many things off the menu as you can!
  • Joe’s Crab Shack – just don’t look at the calories on the menu
  • Virago – Asian Fusion in the Gulch area; share many dishes, if you can
  • Note: Get Fried Green Tomatoes, Chicken & Waffles, and BBQ on BBQ, anywhere you can!

Other Restaurants that I didn’t get a chance to try, but were recommended and/or researched:

  • Pancake Pantry – every kind of pancake you could imagine
  • Monell’s – to get your taste buds on a Southern breakfast
  • Noshville Delicatessen – deli-style diner for breakfast or lunch
  • The Wild Cow – vegan spot, that even non-vegans love
  • Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar – for blues music and cajun food
  • Taco Mamacita – taco spot in the downtown area
  • Jack’s Bar-B-Que – relatively inexpensive BBQ and a fun vibe
  • Edley’s BBQ – for the meat lovers out there!
  • Moto – in the Gulch area; upscale Italian
  • Kayne Prime – in the Gulch area; steakhouse
  • Urban Grub – oysters, and a a little bit of everything else

Thank you to my Nashville friends for many of these suggestions – Brett & Cecilia Kissel and Mandy McMillan!

Have the best time!! And…take me with you!!

Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm? The stuff. I Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm?

The stuff. I know this is a privileged point, so please be kind. I’ve always attempted to be a wannabe-minimalist (seeing as I have two of everything living between two places, but I want everything to have a purpose and a ‘home.’). 

I’ve very much noticed this be a trigger point for me since having kids, because J and I both have big families, and although their gift giving comes with so much heart and generosity, I’ve tried to find ways to bring in less stuff and to teach my kids to appreciate each gift, sooo less is more. 

Many years ago, my siblings adopted Sibling Christmas where instead of gifts, we have a special night out together! We love this tradition. After the overwhelm I felt this Christmas, being generously gifted Eberle gifts for now TWO kids, I asked J’s siblings if we can adopt a family-friendly event next year and remove all aunt/uncle/cousin gifts. Shout out to all my brother/sister-in-laws for getting on board. 

With C’s birthday party coming up, she asked for no gifts (OR a book as a gift).

Small steps, but always trying!!

Have you found any ways to minimize the stuff chaos in your house?!

Taking your car to the shop with car seat aged kids. 

Do you hang out in the shop with the kids for hours? Do you bring travel car seats and install them to get them home? Honestly, what have y’all done? Having another human help isn’t the solution here for me this time…😅

🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head I got a war 🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have

[I got a Jeep, I got a dog]
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have

I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have🎶
