Drink spots

Some of our favorite spots to grab a cocktail around the neighborhood and downtown!
Tootsies is one of the original Nashville Honky Tonks. Known for great music and cold drinks, while this isn't a spot to get a bite to eat, it's definitely a spot to sit and listen to our city's greatest local artists.

One of Nashville's original upscale watering holes, The Oak Bar is known for its craft cocktails, impeccable service and famous men's bathroom. Located in the basement of the historic Hermitage Hotel, the bar used to connect to the State Capitol building by tunnel before modern buildings blocked the passage. If you see men with earpieces in their ears, don't be alarmed - it's likely just that the Governor, Lt. Governor or House Speaker are visiting the bar or restaurant that evening.

A fun Nashville take on a traditional German Beer Hall. Has a GREAT selection of German beers and is the perfect pre-game spot before taking in a Sounds game. Tuesdays they have a happy hour from 4:00pm to close includes half off all German and Belgian drafts, half off the Von Elrod brat, and half off Belgian fries (happy hour not offered during Sounds, NSC, or other event days at First TN Park). Thursday happy hour from 4:00pm to close includes any big beer for the price of a small beer (happy hour not offered during Sounds, NSC, or other event days at First TN Park).

A long-time Nashville staple is finally back! After being converted to a different failed concept bar, the owners have brought Paradise Park back to its roots. A traditional "dive bar" with great local country music and a large selection of ice-cold beer, served on tap in a mini-pitcher (pro tip: you're not supposed to share these - drink them direct from the pitcher!).

The Authentique is a small, cozy wine bar with heavy hors d'oeuvres. Great selection of authentic french wine! Not a far walk from the Guest House! If you're wanting to go to Once Upon a Time in France for dinner and there is a wait, walk across the street to this place for a glass of wine while you wait for your table! Alexander is the man behind the place and will never steer you wrong on a while selection!

Food scene

Owned my Maneet Chauhan of Food Network fame, this indian fusion spot is a great lunch or dinner spot. Amazing hand-made drinks and the food is perfection. We hit up Chauhan's as often as we can! Monday happy hour from 5:00pm to 6:30pm includes $6 bar bites and $5-$7 select cocktails, wine, and beer.

Edley's is hands down our favorite BBQ spot in the city. Not only do they have great brisket and pulled pork, their smoked wings and Nashville Hot Chicken are phenomenal. This is a casual, order at the counter kind of place. In our opinion, they have the best Hot Chicken in town. Wednesday happy hour from 3:00pm to 6:00pm includes $1 off draft beer, $2-$6 select snacks and $2-$6 select drinks (at the bar only). Wednesday specials all day include half-price bushwackers.

One of East Nashville's newest foodie spots, Once Upon A Time in France is as authentic as it gets. While the exterior may make you question it, stepping inside is like stepping into a Paris cafe. They have a great selection of French wines, their seasonal menu has all the favorites and their craft cocktails are impeccable. Be prepared to wait as they don't take reservations - but it's well worth it! It's an easy 5 minute walk from the Guesthouse. You can find us there almost every Sunday night.

The best Thai food I’ve ever had! This restaurant leans more toward Thai fusion, than authentic Thai, but man, all of their dishes are delicious!

Sightseeing

If you're interested in visiting one of the oldest working state Capitol buildings in the country, then definitely make time to visit the Tennessee State Capitol. Built between 1845 and 1859, the Tennessee Capitol still is the meeting place of the state House and Senate and houses the offices of the Governor and other state officials. The Legislature is in Session annually from January until April or May. Public tours are available and the bicentennial mall adjacent to the capitol is a great place to stretch your legs and grab a bite to eat at the Nashville's Farmers Market. If you have any questions don't hesitate to let Luke know, since this is where he works!
