What’s Around: Explore Nashville’s Hotspots

If you’re making a night of it (and in Nashville, why wouldn’t you?), you’ll find yourself spoiled for choice. Kid Rock’s Big Honky Tonk & Steakhouse isn’t just a destination in itself—it’s also the perfect launchpad for experiencing the rest of Broadway’s vibrant scene.

A stone’s throw away, you’ll stumble into legendary live music venues like Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Robert’s Western World, both storied honky-tonks where the country tunes keep flowing and the dancing never really stops. If you’re craving a more modern scene, places like Pinewood Social offer a buzzy blend of cocktails, food, and vintage bowling lanes.

Just steps down the block, you can dive into the neon chaos at Barstool Nashville or grab a bite at The Hampton Social for a bright, coastal vibe. Southern flavors calling your name? Puckett’s dishes up hearty, classic fare with plenty of local flair. For those who like a side of art with their honky tonk, the Frist Art Museum is close enough for an inspiring detour before your next round.

If you’re thinking about making a weekend of it, the Bobby Hotel sits nearby and offers quirky rooftop experiences—complete with a retro bus and skyline views.

With Broadway’s legendary energy all around you, there’s no wrong turn. It’s all just part of the show.
