r/VisitingNashville

Hi! I’m coming to Nashville in July (yes I know it will be hot as hell but it’s the best time that worked for me). I’ll be there from Thursday to Monday, staying in the music row area, am renting a car, and open to any and all things (even nearby day trips)! Not much of a drinker honestly, but that won’t stop me from going out and enjoying the vibes. I love being outdoors, especially by water and hiking. LOVE trying new food, so any local spots are welcome as well.

I’m really just looking for the best possible experience while I’m there, sight seeing, local experiences, and enjoying the overall culture. Appreciate any input!

Hey y’all, need some advice. I’m a brokeass college student flying out to see my best friend graduate. Looking for free parking suggestions, as I am making this trip happen with barely anything and parking is crazy expensive.
Last semester I parked at a nearby hotel and took the shuttle but am feeling nervous about that this time around.
Please spare me any sarcasm I’m hoping someone has a good tip for me.
Thank you stay blessed xx

I’m going to nashville next weekend and stupidly got a new id today with new picture. I realized after once I got the paper id that I most likely wouldn’t have a physical card until after the trip. They hole punched my previous ID. Will I be able to get into Broadway bars with my paper ID, hole punched ID (was not expired and was horizontal)? Just found out my passport is expired 3 months ago. PLEASE HELP A GIRL A OUT!!!!

I am a bit baffled here. Visiting Jelly Roll’s bay on Broadway listening to a phenomenal band and paying $10 cash per beer. But when we put it on a card the price was lower. Asked the bartender why and was told every bar on Broadway rounds because they run out of $1’s. This seems pretty sketchy to me as we tipped on top on the cash every time. Is this genuinely the way it’s done on Broadway now?

I feel like I’ve really made a mistake.

The first section of floor tickets run A-E. I am going to be in section G, around row 34. A huge distance from the stage. Will the band be ant size. Will the music quality suffer?

Would it be difficult to go closer and occupy empty seats?

Also, can you just walk across Natchez or do you have to use a bridge or ….

I’ve been thinking about all this for days and I’m at the point now, I don’t even want to go. I bought during presale and thought that I was lucky to get tickets, but now I’m seeing them much closer and cheaper. Been trying to sell mine and I’ve been asking less than what I paid, for days.

Is Section G worth the hassle of going? Two hour drive, $200 car rental, $150 room, gas, food… Should I cut my losses and ditch it? I can’t afford a closer set of tickets.

Hello,
I am looking for advice on the best place to watch and most likely to be showing the Montreal-Buffalo hockey game Thursday night.
Is “After Friday” likely to have it? I tried calling and could not get through.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance!

hey, visiting Nashville in sept from UK 🇬🇧Looking for a good fun time (just me and my cousin) Loads of people have recommended it over the years but it’s one of the last places I’m yet to visit stateside because from what I can tell everywhere is honky tonks and country music and although I’m cool with that on occasions I would much prefer some bars/pools with house/lounge music instead. Question is does that even exist over there and if so does anyone have any recommendations.

Many thanks

We will be visiting Nashville this weekend and would like to see some live music, but we are not so into current country. Jazz, Blues, Rock, improv, etc. would be good. Suggestions? Would really appreciate a spot where local musicians might jam together in sort of a free-form way.

Help me out here. I don't understand the people who book a hotel or Airbnb first and then immediately jump on here asking, “Is this area safe?”

Wouldn’t that be one of the questions you ask before booking instead of afterward?

Same goes for the people who book a trip to a city and then ask “What should we do while we’re there?”

You already committed money, time, flights, lodging, PTO, etc. and now you’re figuring out whether there’s anything you actually want to do?

The reverse order feels insane to me but then again maybe I'm the one who has it all wrong.

I’m going on a work trip to Nashville and have 4 hours to myself on Monday (11-3). Near Broadway. What should I do? Maybe a place for lunch / coffee and something sight seeing etc

If you see posts related to it, just report and I will try to remove it. I just went through and banned all the accounts and am going to try to set an automod rule to remove them so you guys don't have to waste time reading those with your eyeballs

I am planning a party bus route for a birthday celebration on Friday, May 22nd and need some places that are fun spots for a group of about 10-14 people, and have good live music (bonus points if they are cover artists/bands). I am unsure on our group size accommodation and live music component. I want to hit broadway but also go to surrounding spots using the bus.

Edit: It is a private limo

Any recs would be appreciated!!

I am visiting Nashville with 2 people, one of whom uses a rollator/ walker.
We are staying at the Hyatt Place downtown. Any recommendations for restaurants that would be an easy and safe walk on a Saturday evening? That person isn’t interested in walking up and down Broadway but would like to experience it for a short bit.
Thank you in advance.

Staying at the Gaylord Opryland this coming weekend and trying to keep up my running plan. I despise treadmill running and I need to get in a 7 mi run. I’ve seen mention online of an outdoor fitness path around the hotel? Could anyone validate that for me? Or should I try to drive to a local park/path?

"I was really disappointed with my experience. I specifically ordered a bouquet with silver dollar eucalyptus and specific pastel tones for a special anniversary, but what arrived looked nothing like the inspiration photos I provided. Not only were the premium greens I requested completely missing, but they substituted them with cheap filler without even calling to let me know. For the price they charge, I expected a heads-up if they were out of stock. It felt like they just threw together whatever was left in the cooler."

Hi, a mate and I are visiting Nashville in September and need to book accomodation. We're both mid 20s so not flush for cash so want somewhere cheap and safe. Anyone have any recommendations of where to stay and general cost? We'll be there fore about five days.

Also happy to take suggestions for things to do and any other tips you may have!

Coming in June and staying at the Westin, like to walk a fair bit everyday when on holiday so for instance would it be safe on a morning to walk from the Westin to 12 South if we wanted to go for breakfast ? It’s only 3.8km to buttermilk ranch which isn’t far for us, but seen mixed things about walking round Nashville? Also coming from the UK at the moment can be dicey around wearing nice watches out or having your phone in your hand whilst out walking, would it be advisable to not travel with an expensive watch (it’s fully insured) just wondering if there is massive risk of being stopped for your watch etc.

I am beyond frustrated with my experience here. I placed an order well in advance for a specific event, only to have them cancel on me the morning of the delivery with zero explanation. When I tried to call and figure out what happened, I was bounced around between staff members who seemed more interested in getting off the phone than helping me find a solution.

To make matters worse, I had to call twice just to get my refund processed. For a business that markets itself as a premium floral source, the lack of accountability is shocking. I ended up having to scramble to a grocery store at the last minute because they left me high and dry. If you have an event where timing actually matters, I’d suggest going anywhere else. They might be fine for a casual walk-in, but you can’t trust them with a scheduled order.

can i bring my passport to get into bars? i lost my id a few weekends ago, i recently moved and without my id i cant just renew it, i have to wait for my out of state driving record. with that being said my physical id will not be in by the end of the month. will my passport count?

We are visiting Nashville this summer, and we’re hoping to book a tour to Makers Mark, Jim Bean and Heaven Hill Distillery and others in that area.

We could rent a car, but would rather have a guide so we can all drink….

There will be 4 people.

Does anyone have good recommendations as to a tour company or a guide?

Look forward to hearing from you!
