“Boots, Bars & Broadway: A Country Fan’s Guide to Nashville”

If you’ve got boots on your feet and country in your soul, Nashville isn’t just a destination — it’s a rite of passage.

Start on Broadway

There’s no missing it. The neon lights, the live music pouring from every bar, and the energy of country fans from all over the world. Start with Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, Whiskey Bent, or Honky Tonk Central — you never know when the next big star might be on that stage.

Iconic Stops

Swing through the Country Music Hall of Fame, take a backstage tour at the Ryman Auditorium, and soak in the vibes at Ole Red — Blake Shelton’s spot with two levels of country greatness.

Hidden Gems

Step off the main drag and hit The Listening Room Café for acoustic magic or Santa’s Pub for the coldest beer and rowdiest karaoke in town.

Where to Eat

Fuel up at The Southern Steak & Oyster, or if you’re craving the classics, Hattie B’s hot chicken is a must. Bonus: locals love Edley’s BBQ.

Travel Tip for Country Fans

Don’t skip the Johnny Cash Museum or a walk across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge at sunset. That skyline with your boots on the pavement? Unmatched.
