Nashville is truly an iconic bachelorette destination. It has everything you could want- live music, tons of bars, and lots of fun.
Where We Stayed
When searching for the perfect place to stay, our main goal was to find something close to downtown, ideally just a quick Uber ride away. After scrolling through what felt like endless Airbnb listings, we finally narrowed down a handful of favorites.
We had a few non-negotiables when it came to accommodations. First and foremost: everyone needed a real bed. We’ve officially reached the stage of life where couch surfing is no longer part of the plan. The moment we found this townhouse, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. With its stylish décor, spacious layout, and convenient location near downtown, it checked every box for the ultimate bachelorette weekend.
One of the best features of this townhouse is the incredible amount of sleeping space. On the top floor, you’ll find the primary suite complete with a comfortable king bed, walk-in closet, and private ensuite bathroom. Just down the hall is another bedroom with a king bed and its own ensuite. There was also a third room on this floor featuring six twin bunk beds, though our group didn’t end up needing the extra space.
The main living level offers plenty of room to gather, with a cozy living room, a piano, and a large, fully equipped kitchen. There’s also a convenient laundry area, which came in handy for drying our bathing suits before packing up. An additional bathroom is located on this floor as well.
Head downstairs and you’ll find even more sleeping arrangements. One bedroom features a king bed and private ensuite bathroom, while the room next door includes a king bed with a bunk bed above it, along with another bathroom nearby. In the hallway, there’s a daybed that works perfectly for lounging, storing bags, or accommodating an extra guest.
On the lowest level, you’ll find two additional queen sized bunk beds and an adorable vanity area for getting ready.
The rooftop deck was truly a gem. With plenty of space to relax, enjoy drinks, soak up the views, and unwind in the hot tub, it was a perfect place to gather.
We absolutely loved having so much space to spread out while still feeling like we were all together. For a larger group celebrating a special occasion, this townhouse couldn’t have been a better fit.
Where We Ate
Hampton Social
Hampton Social was the perfect brunch spot for our Nashville weekend. From the moment we walked in, we loved the bright, coastal-inspired atmosphere. The space is beautifully decorated throughout, with plenty of photo opportunities at every turn, making it just as much about the experience as it is the meal.
The brunch menu offered a wide variety of delicious options, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something they loved. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic brunch dish, something sweet, or a refreshing cocktail, Hampton Social truly delivers. Of course, no brunch is complete without drinks, and their brunch cocktails were the perfect complement to the meal. While we enjoyed our food, we were treated to a great acoustic set, which added an extra layer to the already lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
It’s the kind of place that feels made for celebrations—whether you’re visiting Nashville for a girls’ trip, bachelorette weekend, or just a fun getaway with friends. Between the great food, beautiful setting, and overall vibe, Hampton Social was a brunch stop we’d happily return to on our next trip to Nashville.
Sixty Vines
Sixty Vines in Nashville was a great dinner spot. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between stylish and welcoming, with an open, airy design that somehow still feels cozy. Even with our large group, we were seated comfortably without ever feeling cramped, which made it an ideal spot for a group brunch or dinner.
We loved the cocktail and drink menu. As big espresso martini fans, their version was an absolute hit. It was smooth, rich, and the perfect pick-me-up before a night out in the city. The wine flights were another highlight, making it easy to sample a variety of options and turn the meal into a fun tasting experience.
On top of the drinks, the food was just as impressive. Everything we ordered came out fresh and flavorful, with plenty of shareable options that worked perfectly for a bigger group. Between the great menu, beautiful space, and easygoing vibe, Sixty Vines ended up being one of those places that just works for any occasion. It’s a spot I’d recommend for anyone visiting Nashville who wants a slightly elevated but still relaxed dining experience with a group-friendly setup.
Blanco
Blanco in Nashville was a solid spot for a dinner. It had delicious food and a fun, energetic atmosphere. Everything we ordered was flavorful and perfect for sharing. It’s an easy crowd-pleaser spot, especially if you’re in the mood for tacos, guacamole, and margaritas.
We did go in with a large group, and while the restaurant is lively and popular, it’s not necessarily set up for big parties to all sit together at one long table. That said, the staff was very accommodating and worked with us to get tables placed right next to each other, which made it easy to still feel connected throughout the meal. Overall, great food, great energy, and a reliable choice for a dinner in the city.
Where We Danced & Drank
THE FAVORITES:
Tootsie’s
No trip to Nashville is complete without a stop at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. It’s my favorite bar in the city and an absolute Broadway staple. With three floors, three bars, and three stages, every level offers a unique live music experience and its own distinct vibe.
While Tootsie’s is always a great time, we got to experience it in a whole new way with a VIP package and it was worth every penny. We entered through the back entrance, skipping the crowds and lines. Our reserved VIP area was located on the top floor, right behind the band, giving us some of the best seats in the house. We had our own dedicated bartender, who kept the drinks flowing. The band was incredible and made a point to interact with our group throughout their set. At one point, they even handed us a cowbell and invited us to join in on the fun, which made the experience feel even more personal and memorable.
Between the live music, great drinks, and unbeatable atmosphere, we had an absolute blast. Out of all our bar-hopping adventures throughout the weekend, this was easily my favorite stop.
Honky Tonk Central
Honky Tonk Central is another Broadway favorite and a spot I find myself returning to every time I’m in Nashville. Like many of the iconic bars on Broadway, it features three floors and three stages, giving you plenty of opportunities to find great live music and a fun atmosphere no matter where you end up. The first-floor stage is always a highlight, with talented musicians playing crowd favorites that keep everyone singing along and dancing. The energy here is consistently great, making it an easy place to spend much longer than you originally planned.
During our trip, we ended up spending a large portion of our daytime bar crawl here, and it was time well spent. Between the live music and classic Broadway atmosphere, Honky Tonk Central delivered everything we love about Nashville’s bar scene.
The Stage
The Stage is always one of the busiest spots on Broadway and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, packed crowd, and talented live bands, it’s the kind of place that instantly feels like a Nashville experience. We were lucky enough to snag a table on the main floor with a perfect view of the stage.
One of the highlights was getting to hear some of our favorite songs played live. Thanks to a few Venmo song requests, the band played some of our favorite requests and gave our group a special shout out! As the first stop on one of our nights out, The Stage set the tone for the evening. Great music, a fun crowd, and plenty of sing-along moments made it the perfect way to kick off a night on Broadway.
Tin Roof
Tin Roof was the perfect place to wrap up one of our nights out in Nashville. After spending the evening hopping between the busier Broadway bars, it offered a great balance of lively energy while still feeling a bit more laid-back. The live band kept the party going right up until closing time, playing a mix of songs that had everyone singing along and soaking up every last minute of the night. The atmosphere was fun, but more relaxed, exactly what we needed after a full day of exploring and celebrating.
If you’re looking for a spot that still delivers great live music and a fun crowd without feeling overwhelming, Tin Roof is a fantastic choice. It was the great final stop to end an unforgettable night in Nashville.
Jason Aldean’s
If you’re looking for a change of pace from the traditional live music venues on Broadway, Jason Aldean’s rooftop is the place to be. Instead of country bands and acoustic sets, the rooftop offers a lively dance floor, complete with a DJ set, under the Nashville skyline.
We had an absolute blast dancing here. The upbeat vibe and open-air setting made it feel completely different from the other bars we visited throughout the weekend. It was a fun way to switch things up while still enjoying all the energy that Broadway has to offer. Whether you’re in the mood to dance, grab a drink with a view, or simply experience a different side of Nashville nightlife, Jason Aldean’s rooftop is definitely worth a stop on your bar crawl.
Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk
Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk is another fun Broadway rooftop bar. While the entire venue has the lively energy and great live music you’d expect from a Nashville honky-tonk, the rooftop offers that DJ experience, slinging classic dance hits. This rooftop gave us more of a club-like atmosphere, complete with VIP tables and bottle service. The rooftop DJ kept the energy up, allowing us to scream our favorite lyrics and dance the night away. Friends in Low Places is definitely worth adding to your Broadway lineup.
Pushing Daisies
We made a stop at Pushing Daisies after dinner and before diving into the chaos of Broadway, and it ended up being the perfect transition into a night out. Tucked away below street level, this trendy underground cocktail bar offers a completely different vibe from the honky-tonks and live music venues Nashville is known for. The atmosphere was stylish and energetic, with a mix of handcrafted cocktails and DJs creating a fun, upbeat setting. Their margaritas were a standout and the perfect way to kick off the evening. Between the unique ambiance and great drinks, Pushing Daisies felt like a hidden gem and a refreshing change of pace before heading into the heart of Broadway.
If you’re looking to mix in a cocktail lounge experience with your Nashville bar crawl, this spot is definitely worth adding to your itinerary.

Where We Pontooned
We spent most of Friday soaking up the sun on Percy Priest Lake with Nashville Toons. We booked their Double Decker Pontoon, which comfortably accommodated all 11 of us plus two crew members. We came prepared with plenty of drinks, snacks, and a box of sandwiches from Jimmy John’s for an easy lunch on the water.
One of the things we loved most was how well-equipped the boat was. Nashville Toons provided coolers, ice, cups, a stereo system, floaties, a water slide, and even a full bathroom onboard. We spent the day cruising around the lake, blasting our favorite songs, floating in the water, and making the most of the beautiful weather.
The crew truly helped make the experience unforgettable. They kept the energy up, made sure everyone was having a great time, giving us drink refills when needed. They made it so we could just enjoy the day. It ended up being one of the highlights of the entire bachelorette weekend!
Last tip: get your pet’s head on a stick. Your cute dog will get WAY more attention than your fiance on a stick! Luna truly stole the show so many times while we were out. It was so fun having bands want to bring her head on stage!
