Today I am introducing my Summer Nashville Bachelorette Weekend Guide From A Local! Ohhhh LADIES! The weather is getting warmer, the shorts are getting shorter, sun tans are popping, and let me tell you – that Southern water we’re drinking from is doing something right! Something about this time of year makes a man want to put a ring on it, am I right?!
Put on your cowgirl boots because, let’s be real. Men don’t know how to act when spring and summer rolls around. I mean it’s literally mentioned in like 90% of the country songs that you hear. In the wise words of our dear friend, Jake Owen –
“And it’s sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide rollin’
White sand, cold can, koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
Chillin’, breezing, sippin’, singin’ whoa” you know the song.
Well for all you lucky babes out there that have been blessed with an engagement to the love of your life recently OR the bad ass babes planning the bachelorette in good ole Nash Vegas, I’m here to give you the Ultimate Summer Nashville Bachelorette Weekend Guide. Because why would you go anywhere else?! You would think that because I’m a native that I would be sick of seeing all the tourists. The truth is that even if I personally avoid the strip on weekends like a plague, that after this crazy world pandemic, it gives me nothing but joy to see people flooding back into the city. This is the Nashvegas that I know and love. Streets filled with laughter. Struggling to speak to your friend walking next to you because the sounds of live music coming from every single direction is drowning out your ears (in the best way). The bright neon signs of every color reflecting onto smiling faces. Although sometimes the stench of alcohol everywhere overwhelms you, the underlying smell of hot dog trucks, hot chicken and luxury food filling your nose can’t be beat (the combination of them all sounds gross but just trust me).
Also since everyone loves to think we wear cowboy boots 24/7 and wanna rock them while here check out this post to at least make it on point: www.https://nashvillewifestyles.com/tag/nashville-cowboy-boots/
I’ll also share some other posts here on what to wear in Nashville if you’re struggling a bit to pack: https://nashvillewifestyles.com/bridgerton-corset-trend-13-cute-corsets-for-women/ https://nashvillewifestyles.com/10-leather-jackets-that-you-need-from-the-all-saints-sale/ https://nashvillewifestyles.com/abercrombie-spring-must-haves/
I’m trying my best to paint the picture but all I can really say is that you need to experience it all for yourself. I have traveled a lot of places and I may be biased but I can truly say there is nothing quite like Nashville ya’ll. So let’s go Brides! Let’s give you that Summer Nashville Bachelorette Weekend Guide that you’ve been dreaming of!
Let’s start with the best Brunch in Nashville.
There has never been a good crazy Bachelorette that didn’t start with brunch:
- The Hampton Social: This place is literally the cutest! If it wasn’t a good enough hint by the name, think total Hampton vibes. It is incredibly picturesque with the combination of beautiful nautical decor, giant floral walls, and the trendiest neon signs. There is usually a fat line (which is totally worth it) BUT I would definitely try to make reservations. This pretty much goes for anywhere you’re looking to wine and dine in Nash. They have everything from coastal cuisine favorites to the most delicious cocktails. They are known for their signature Frose which is just way too easy to drink. The vibes are *immaculate*
- White Limozen: Ok every girl who visits Nashville (and lives here honestly) has to get a picture on the pink rooftop with the giant Dolly Head. Plus the drinks are lit.
- The Ainsworth: Super fun environment if you’re looking to get a little crazy. The decorations, lighting, and oh man the music. If you didn’t think you’d be twerking on the table, you thought wrong. If you’re wanting to relive your college bar days in a “luxury” manner, go here. It is mostly bar food for options but the drinks are incredible and usually they run brunch specials. They even have options for bottle service should that interest you at all. All around this is a super fun environment if you’re searching for the wild brunch experience.
- Nada: Delicious latin-inspired cuisine. Super cute lively environment. Unreal margs.
- Acme Feed & Seed: Three floors of amazing, fresh, and unique food. Brings the charm of past, present, and future all things Nashville. The top floor is the largest one-level event and music venue on lower Broadway.
- Josephine: Unreal food. Great ambiance. Cozy and chic.
- Sinema: Old fashioned theater meets luxe brunch dining. Modern classic foods plus you cant leave without taking a quick photo in their killer bathroom.
- Saint Anejo: Premier Mexican dining. Choice of over 100 tequilas. The cutest patio seating!
- Pinewood Social: A really fun atmosphere that also has games like bowling etc
Must Go-To Dinner Spots in Nashville:
- Virago: BOMB sushi. Super cool ambiance. It’ll make you feel important just being there because it’s a mood. Get the wasabi martini trust me.
- Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse: Unreal decor, food, and cocktails. It’s perfect for a super fancy night out with the girls in your best Nashville outfit you packed.
- House Of Cards: Super unique experience! If you’re looking to go somewhere that feels “exclusive”, this is your place. It has a bit of a speakeasy vibe. Not only are the food and cocktails amazing, but you can experience a full blown magic show right at your table. These aren’t just rinky dink magicians either! You’ll have your jaw on the floor while enjoying the whole experience. There is a dress code that is strictly enforced and no photography. I’ll link the info here: https://www.hocnashville.com/
- Bourbon Steak: On top of the JW Marriott Hotel. Has some of the most stunning views with 360 views of downtown. Mouth watering variety of foods and cocktails!
- Barcelona Wine Bar: Delicious tapas inspired by culture of Spain! Super good for a group because there is a huge variety of incredible food selections to share with the whole table. What’s better than being able to share all kinds of yummy foods and split a couple bottles of wine? That’s a WIN in my book.
- Sunda: Super fun environment. Great staff. Creative and modern spin on Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese & Filipino cuisine!
- Kayne Prime: Chef-chic boutique style. City skyline views. Great food. Amazing steaks!
- The Palm: High-end steakhouse, seafood, and diverse wines. Just off Broadway and across the street from Bridgestone Arena if you have a concert or Predators game to attend!
- Sambuca: Live music every night. Indoor and outdoor seating. Super fun environment and next to some awesome shopping in The Gulch!
- The Optimist: Fancy! Incredible and unique seafood. The oysters are incredible. If you’re looking to branch out and expand your tastebuds, ask your waiter/waitress what to get. They are excellent at recommending new dishes that will blow your mind. Oh, and don’t be thrown off by the way the meals look. They are presented like art and all taste incredible.
- Superica: TRUE TEX-MEX! Delicious. 100%.
- Pemrose: Southern twist on seafood with a huge wine and cocktail selection. Has a super nice “seaside” vibe to it!
- Etch: Very eclectic upscale dining experience. Super modern and located downtown! Delicious.
