Nashville with the Girls: Boots, Brunch, and Avoiding the Bachelorette Blues
Y'all ready for a girls' trip that's hotter than a two-step on a July sidewalk? Nashville beckons with open arms (and honky-tonk bars)! But hold on there, Dolly Parton wannabes. This ain't your average bachelorette bash with penis straws and questionable limousine choices. We're here for a classy (well, kinda classy) weekend of good times, good music, and memories that won't make your grandma clutch her pearls.
What To Do In Nashville Girls Trip |
Music City, Minus the Mayhem:
Nashville throbs with the pulse of country music, but that doesn't mean you have to wear daisy dukes and braid your hair in pigtails (unless you want to, of course, no judgement here).
Hit the Honky Tonks (But Like, Strategically): Sure, Broadway is a must-do, but dodge the bachelorette brigade and explore during the day. Grab some midday margaritas (because who says sunshine margaritas aren't a thing?) and listen to up-and-coming artists belting out tunes. You might just discover your new favorite twang.
Dive Bars with Dive-r Bar Prices: Escape the bachelorette bloat and head to East Nashville for hidden gems with dive bar charm and wallet-friendly drinks. Think strong cocktails, quirky bartenders with nicknames like "Lefty Lou," and enough local flavor to fill a mason jar.
Live Music Beyond Boots and Ballads: Nashville's musical tapestry is richer than Dolly Parton's rhinestone collection. Catch a show at The Basement East, a haven for indie rock and alternative tunes, or Third and Lindsley, where legendary songwriters strum their way into your heart.
Brunch So Hard You Forget About Mimosas:
Nashville's brunch scene is a religion, and we're here to preach the gospel. Forget the bottomless mimosas (although, hey, no judgement there either). We're talking about places that elevate brunch to an art form.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Pancakes the Size of Texas (and Maybe Tastier): Start your day at Pancake Pantry, a Nashville institution where portions are legendary and the wait can be brutal. But fear not, brunch warriors! The wait is worth it for these fluffy, buttermilk masterpieces.
Chicken and Waffles to Write Home About: Hattie B's Hot Chicken is a Nashville staple, and their chicken and waffles are the stuff dreams are made of. Just be warned: this ain't your grandma's Sunday brunch. Choose your spice level wisely, ladies.
Brunch with a Boozy Boost: If you can't resist a little bubbly, head to Josephine for their boozy milkshakes. Because, well, who says you can't have dessert for breakfast… especially when it comes with a spiked kick?
Beyond the Honky Tonks: Adventures for the Intrepid Girl Gang
There's more to Nashville than just music and food (although, those are pretty darn good reasons to visit).
Boot Scootin' Boogie (with a Twist): Channel your inner Beyonce at a drag queen brunch. It's a Nashville tradition that's as hilarious as it is fabulous. Just be prepared to loosen up, embrace the outrageous, and maybe even learn a new dance move (or two).
Retail Therapy on 12South: This trendy neighborhood boasts adorable boutiques, quirky shops, and the famous "I Believe in Nashville" mural. Stock up on souvenirs, indulge in a little retail therapy, and snap some Insta-worthy pics.
History Buff Bonanza: Immerse yourselves in Nashville's rich history at The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Learn about the legends, the stories, and the evolution of country music. There's even a chance to try your hand at songwriting!
