3/16/2012 1:41:41 PM

perhaps a sentence or two about what these places are/why I should go?

not to be too high maintenance or anything...

Pete's Drive-In is a classic lunch counter

Pizza Village is a small town pizza buffet joint that I remember from my childhood

Mucho Mexico is standard Mexican fare

Town & Country is a "home style" restaurant
personally, I prefer restaurant style food when I go out to restaurants

Doug Saul's BBQ is good eastern NC BBQ

these are all restaurants in Nashville

^^yeah, because you've been really reliable and communicative as of late.

3/16/2012 2:32:46 PM

just so you know all of my recommendations apply to Nashville, NC

use at your own risk in TN

3/16/2012 2:43:03 PM

Go to broadway

tons of bars and grills there. its a cool little spot.

3/16/2012 2:57:57 PM

SACTO - San Antonio Taco Company - Char-Grill style ordering and some of the best food that side of the Appalachians. If you go on a nice day you can sit outside. It's mexican, but not cheap (quality) omg my bowels mexican.

Mike's Ice Cream is a cute old fashioned-ish ice cream shop. They may have made some upgrades/changes after the Great Flood though.

False. Broadway is the Glenwood south of Nashville, but worse. Every bar is a honky tonk and they are all the exact same tourist trap. If you're looking to pay 9$ for a drink and get in a fight with some drunk asshole, this is the street to do it on. But I suppose if you had to stereotype Nashville's bar scene, this would be it.

I'd check out the Greenhouse - It's a bar in a converted greenhouse. Kinda dirty, kinda hipster, but the atmosphere is pretty nice. Their menu from the restaurant next door - The Food Company, and their burgers are actually pretty damn good.

well shes not a local, otherwise I would have said something completely different.

broadway is the touristy thing to do.

and I think that new place a block down, Big Shots? has dollar beer...so its cheap, and live music.

3/16/2012 4:50:18 PM

Broadway is fun because it's right there at the arena. Pregame with a bunch of St. Patty's hangovers, bball fans, and rednecks, watch the games, come back out and drink some more. It will be a zoo Saturday night. For cheap parking you can go to the library's garage (near 7th and Church St. area) for 4 bucks I think.

It's definitely touristy, but you can barhop all day and find something you like. More of the club/party bars are on 2nd Ave.

21st Ave and Hillsboro Village (21st Ave/Blakemore) have some good restaurants and sports bars (Sam's, Sportsmans Grille).

Division St./Demonbreun (pronounced De-mun-bree-un) has bars more of the young professional/cougar age

Lived in nashville for three years.

the gulch- best area.
broadway is cute but very country. 2nd ave is the same. touristy.
Whiskey kitchen- best bar and grill in the city

pied pipers ice cream
sambucca restaurant and lounge

demonbreun street has some good bars/nightlife

3/16/2012 9:36:04 PM

We are at a hooters off the highway - dont ask why. Our nice pregnant hipster waitress just told us to go to some bar crawl told us to go to east Nashville in the demonbeun area tomorrow? She said it would be much better for us than downtown

3/17/2012 12:52:47 AM

2 different areas. Demonbreun is near Vandy, East Nashville is across the river near the football stadium. 5 points (woodland and main st.) in east nashville has a few bars. definitely the more hipster/artsy area of town. depends on what you're looking for, but unless you've been to broadway before, I'd say it's worth a visit

okay. we went to SATCO and I am in love.

to be honest, I am in love with the whole fucking city. I had SO much fun. what a great place.

3/20/2012 11:45:36 AM

Go to the Big Bang for piano fun

but don't request Brick by BFF because they straight up said they wouldn't play it because it's about abortion.

Fucking southerners.

3/20/2012 1:17:05 PM

what all did you end up doing? I bet being at the Cincy/FSU game was fun. seemed like a grind the whole game

3/20/2012 2:24:57 PM

Saturday we hung it at Tavern (love that place) with my cousin who lives across the street (doing his residency at vandy). Then went to rebar for a bit, then SATCO, then down to the strip where we had quite a bit of fun.

Sunday drove around a bit, then back down to the strip where we hung out at some of the open-air bars before we went to the game - which was fucking awesome, btw. I'm headed to Boston on thurs!

But in all seriousness, if I had a job offer in Nashville I'd move there tomorrow. Totally my kind of city on so many levels.
