You May Love A Bachelorette Party In Nashville If…

Music city brings both exciting nightlife and country charm, so you can’t go wrong if either of these are your style. You will love a Nashville Bachelorette Party if you:

• Enjoy big cities with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars, and don’t mind a crowd. Broadway can be packed, especially during spring break time or summer!
• Are adventurous – you never know what you will find just around the next corner whether it be a naked cowboy, electric scooters, or the abandoned Tennessee State prison for all those horror movie buff!
• Have a love of music – From big names like Jason Aldean and Kid Rock (who have their own bars on Broadway!) to local folk bands, Nashville is never quiet!

If this sounds like your vibe, read on!

How Long To Spend For Your Nashville Bachelorette Party

From getting to experience the nightlife to shopping and dining during the day or visiting the country music hall of fame, we suggest starting with our list of the best things to do in Nashville for the perfect inspo for your trip!

Nashville is also the perfect spot for all the foodies out there, especially if you enjoy a classic barbeque! If you stay for the long weekend, make sure to also check out our article on the best day trips from Nashville for even more fun activities for your crew!

Best Restaurants For Your Nashville Bachelorette Party

Speaking of food, we have compiled some of the best restaurants for you to try for your bachelorette dinner in Nashville or a quick bit to eat between activities. Nashville, with its mix of city life along with shaded river spots perfect for a bachelorette picnic, is known for its barbeque, hot chicken, and southern hospitality.

We love a good breakfast as well, so we have included some options for the early bird as well. Just don’t forget to try a famous buttermilk biscuit – they may have started in Persia but have made a name for themselves in the southern U.S.A and for a good reason too. Make sure your bride-to-be washes it all down with a shot of good ol’ Tennessee whiskey!

Five Daughters Bakery

Start your morning off with a unique donut from Five Daughters Bakery! With three locations across Nashville, you won’t have to travel far to try one of their famous 100-layer croissant-styled donuts!

A perfect prop for all of your insta stories plus a tasty treat to start the day right, this is the perfect beginning to your bachelorette weekend in Nashville! You won’t regret ordering a vanilla creme, chocolate sea salt, or one of their other monthly rotating flavors.

Maybe you will even run into the owners, who named their bakery after their own five daughters!

Biscuit Love

Remember those biscuits we mentioned earlier? Well this is the place to get them! Biscuit Love gives back a portion of their sales to the community to honor their motto – food for good – so you can get a bite to eat while supporting a good cause.

Located in the popular Gulca area, everything is made from scratch every day from classic biscuits and gravy to fried chicken or a southern benny.

Don’t forget to try the homemade jam while you are here that perfectly compliments the flakiness of your biscuit (or two!).

Butcher and the Bee

For a perfect bachelorette dinner in Nashville, we recommend the family-style menu at the Butcher and the Bee. It is a great way for your entire girl gang to try a variety of dishes without breaking the bank. You are going to want to put this on your Weekend In Nashville Itinerary!

The dishes are middle eastern/Mediterranean in nature and the menu does often change to suit what is in season. It includes items like whipped feta, hummus, and whole Moroccan-cooked chickens. 

With an option to sit on either the patio or inside the industrial-style building, this restaurant is the perfect scene to sit around the table and share all the reasons you love your bride-to-be!

Best Bars In Nashville

Often when one thinks of Nashville the lively bar scene on Broadway comes to mind, but there are a ton of other options in and around the city. Whether you and your bachelorette crew are looking for a country bar, rooftop views, or even a drag and dance party, Nashville has everything to offer and then some.

While it was hard to choose, here are our favorite places to order a cocktail or two for your bride-to-be.

L.A. Jackson

Grab your phones and be ready for all the sunset pictures above the streets at this rooftop bar, a perfect addition to your Nashville bachelorette itinerary!

This walk-in only bar is an indoor/outdoor style, with all seating on a first come first serve basis. From individual cocktails and pitchers to share to glasses of wine or frozen concoctions, there is something for everyone in your party.

A DJ brings the scene to life every Friday and Saturday for the night owls, or sleep in and head to the bar for a later brunch on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Tootie’s Orchid Lounge

Nothing compliments your Nashville bachelorette party quite like drink and snack at Tootie’s, literally an orchid color building that is hard to miss among the hustle and bustle of Broadway. Pose with your posse in front of the brightly colored building and add it to your video montage from your bachelorette weekend in Nashville!

Knock back a few while your ears feast on the music of the south. This purple honky-tonk lounge is the oldest bar in Nashville, and has seen many famous singers, including Patsy Cline and Waylon Jennings, walk through its door.

The drink menu consists of beer, fun cocktails such as a Key Lime Pie Vodka mixer, and Tootie’s very own moonshine with flavors including apple pie, white lightning, blackberry, and charred cinnamon!

The Patterson House

Nobody resisted prohibition quite like Nashville, and none better than prohibition-fighting former Tennessee Governor Malcolm Patterson. He was so famous in fact that they named this bar after him!

This speakeasy-style shindig is on of the OG’s in the Nashville cocktail scene, and a must on your list for your Nashville Bachelorette Party. You won’t go wrong with ordering from the menu or asking one of the expert bartenders to whip you up something special for the bride.

This is the place to be if you are looking for a classy night out with your gang and want to get a lil’ fancy as you go out on the town.

Play Dance Bar

As the name suggests, this bar is the perfect place if you are looking for a night full of fun and dancing… not to mention drag!! With the best drag shows and incredible dance floor, this Wednesday – Saturday bar is sure to liven up any Nashville bachelorette party.
