Fun things to do in Nashville without kids
Broadway for the Honky Tonks
Robert’s Western World
Our favorite to see Kelley’s Heros. They play Thursday-Saturday nights from 6:30 until 10:30pm. ID required. Go for the music, not the food.
The Graduate Roof Tap Bar:
The Pinkest bar in Music City with a life sized Dolly Parton Head that you will want to snap a photo with and be sure to walk around inside, the décor is beautiful. ID required, you must purchase at least one drink. They make AMAZING mocktails!
Stroll up and down Broadway for the full Nashville music scene experience. You might just see or hear your favorite artist!
The Assembly Food Hall
A great place to try a variety of Nashville’s favorite foods all under one roof. Line dancing is usually on Thursdays and lots of shops to check out too.
For music off Broadway check out:
The Bluebird Cafe
(tickets go FAST and first in line nights start lining up at noon some days.)
