Hold My Beer and Let Me Name Drop:
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
From Country Crooner to Culinary Kingpin: Buckle up for some serious boots-and-brews action at Luke Bryan's 32 Bridge. This three-story monstrosity of a bar and restaurant offers live music, rooftop views, and enough space to lose yourself (or at least forget your ex's name) amidst the throngs of fellow fans.
Whiskey River, Anyone? Dierks Bentley isn't just a chart-topping artist, he's also a restaurateur with a knack for atmosphere. Dierks Whiskey Row boasts three floors of music, a rooftop patio with skyline views, and a menu that uses local ingredients – cause, you know, even celebrities gotta support local businesses (probably).
Redneck Riviera: Where BBQ Meets Patriotism: John Rich of Big & Rich fame brings us Redneck Riviera, a restaurant that celebrates all things American – good food, good music, and good ol' fashioned heroes (they offer discounts to veterans and first responders, bless their hearts).

But Wait, There's More! (Because Nashville Doesn't Disappoint)
Craving Tex-Mex with a side of sass? Then head on over to Casa Rosa, Miranda Lambert's ode to all things fiesta. Want to experience Kid Rock's... unique... brand of hospitality? Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock N' Roll Steakhouse awaits (don't forget your dancing shoes and a healthy dose of open-mindedness).
How to: Nashville Celebrity Restaurant Edition (Frequently Asked Questions, Probably)
How to snag a selfie with a celebrity? Let's be real, chances are slim. But hey, a girl can dream (and strategically position herself by the bathroom).
How to avoid the tourist traps? Do your research! Some celebrity joints are known more for the name than the food.
How to prepare for the crowds? Patience, my friend. Nashville is a happening place, so be prepared to wait (or strategically arrive fashionably late).
How to dress? Nashville is all about casual cool. Think boots, jeans, and a graphic tee (unless you're aiming for fancy at some of the upscale spots).
How to pace yourself? Nashville portions are legendary. Don't go overboard trying to sample everything – you might miss out on that line dancing lesson later.
