Music City Dining
Dine in Music City — Local bites, hidden gems, and flavors that hit all the right notes.
Best tacos around, and a super fun casual atmosphere that screams Nashville energy.
Redheaded Stranger
Two words. Whipped feta. This place is perfect for a date night or somewhere to take the rents when they’re in town! I love it here.
Butcher & Bee
Hands down the best biscuits in Nashville! For all my GF girls/gays/theys they have GF biscuits that are so good you honestly couldn’t tell a difference!!! Love it here — coffee is incredible.
Stay Golden
Amazing wine flights, fun atmosphere, and incredible tapas! My favorite place to take a group and order one of everything to split!

Love this place! Has a great back patio for families and the tacos are incredible. We always split the Nachos and they are to die for.
Nectar: Urban Cantina
This is the spot for a good Happy Hour! Great affordable drinks and honestly wonderful bar food. Love the atmosphere here.
Inglewood Lounge
A romantic pizza spot perfect for a date night! I feel like I’m transported to Italy when I come here at night. They sometimes have a live musician playing guitar and the food/drink is lovely.
Bella Napoli Pizzeria
Can’t go wrong here! A fun, cool speakeasy with drinks you’ve never tried before.
The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club
Everyone’s heard about it, but it never disappoints. I love this place! Great food, environment, and drinks. The people here are always so nice and I love to sit in their lounge area for a cocktail and app.
Pinewood
My favorite bar in Nashville. Wedgewood-Houston is a cute walkable neighborhood and has a lot to see! I love the drinks here as well as their Nachos. Can’t go wrong with a night at Bastion.

This place is one of a kind! Glittery cappuccinos and lattes with sprinkles. The baristas will brighten your day and you will leave feeling happier. I love this place!
Matryoshka Coffee
Beautiful coffee and food! In a great space to walk around for a morning stroll. Love it here!
Flora + Fauna Cafe and Roaster
A perfect place for splitting wine and food with friends! I’ve spent many nights closing this place out and the owners are so so kind. Love it here!
Once Upon A Time In France
My favorite tiki bar in Nashville! Come for a drink, take a photo booth pic, sit outside on their back patio. It’s a dream!
Pearl Diver
Enjoy incredible Mediterranean food on Lyra’s dreamy patio. It’s the perfect spot for tapas, cocktails, and discovering new, exciting dishes.
Lyra
Step right up—Tiger Bar is like being whisked into a 1920s carnival. Sip on prohibition-style cocktails, savor surprisingly delicious gluten-free eats, and soak in the kind of atmosphere that wows a whole group.
Tiger Bar
A soulful, beautiful blend of tradition & innovation. Audrey channels Appalachian roots through a modern culinary lens—heirloom ingredients, seasonal produce, and locally-sourced flavors all come alive in dishes that tell stories. From the glow o...
Audrey Nashville | Appalachian-Inspired Fine Dining
Bold, irreverent, and wildly fun. Fancypants is the place to go if you want fine dining without the stuffiness—think an Asian-Italian steakhouse that encourages you to “eat great food and have a blast.”
