Whether you’re traveling to Nashville for business or pleasure, or perhaps to check out the Nashville houses for sale for a potential move, you’ll find a wealth of things to do day and night. After all, there’s a good reason so many come to experience it every year and the tourist numbers continue to increase, with the city hosting over 16 million visitors over the 2019-2020 tourist season, six percent more than the previous year.
While just about everyone is aware of popular attractions like the Grand Ole Opry, there are 10 bars that are also considered a must-visit, including these.
Wildhorse Saloon
They say you haven’t really visited Nashville until you visit the Wildhorse Saloon. Spread over 66,000 square feet, the fine dining restaurant and music venue has a huge dance floor and attracts big-name stars like Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum. Enjoy a variety of delicious cocktails and Nashville-brewed ales along with high-end burgers.
Patterson House
This speakeasy-style bar is one of those true “hidden gems,” with no sign out front though plenty walk through the door thanks to the word of mouth. You’ll have to wait for a seat to enjoy the cocktails crafted with care – they’re only served to those who are seated, but pretty much everyone says it’s worth it.
Tootsies Orchid Lounge
This famous and historic honky-tonk opened back in 1960, when owner Tootsie Bess bought it and originally called it Mom’s. The orchid in the name comes from the lounge that was painted purple. Some of the first to walk through the door were Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline, and today frequent live bands play here, one on each of its three floors.
Skull’s Rainbow Room
Another historic venue, located on Printer’s Alley, Skull’s has hosted everyone from the likes of Elvis, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney to Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash on its checkerboard stage. Enjoy some great tunes while sipping the signature cocktail made with Coco Lopez, rum, grenadine, ginger, and pineapple.
L.A. Jackson
For a drink with a view, head to the rooftop L.A. Jackson, located at the Thompson Hotel. The cocktails and the view are hard to beat.
Beyond the Edge
While there are lots of great places to go for elegant cocktails in Nashville, if you’re in the mood for a cold beer, Beyond the Edge is a beer sports bar with a wide range of craft beers in bottles and 25 beers on tap along with a menu of delicious pub grub like wings and flatbread pizzas.
Springwater
Springwater is an iconic dive bar that opened its doors over 120 years ago, making it the oldest in the city. It’s one of the top spots to go for a game of pool, live music, and an outstanding brew surrounded by vintage decor
Tin Roof
Got a mixed crowd? Not only does the Tin Roof on Broadway offer fabulous exotic cocktails like the Tenn Lizzy with peach schnapps, strawberry vodka, sour, Sprite, and cranberry, but a diverse array of bottled and draft beers enjoyed alongside mouthwatering comfort foods. If you’re trying to stick to a diet, this isn’t the place to be, with items like Chicken & Waffle Nuggets served with bacon maple syrup. Events are frequently hosted here too, including live music.
Old Glory
Another hidden treasure, Old Glory is housed within a historic boiler room behind an unmarked door in Edgeville Village. You’ll have to look for the golden triangle, but once you find it, expect amazing drinks at the chic industrial bar.
Walden
At this bar in East Nashville, you can sip an outstanding drink while sitting on a swing. It’s a trendy spot with a menu cocktails created using ingredients like CBD oil and light bites like goat cheese crostini with fennel and lavender.
