Hello! I have a concert in Nashville next month that I will need to stay overnight for, but i bought the tickets before finding out that u have to be 21 to rent an airbnb in Nashville. Does anyone know of any places I could stay at being 19 either within Nashville or any towns right outside of Nashville that allow 19 year olds to book? Thanks!

How reliable is the bus?

I'm going to be in town this weekend to watch a game at Geodis park and need to get back to Broadway after the game. I know Ubers will be a nightmare and was wondering if the bus at 20:00 is reliable and/or safe?

Best Football Sports bar in Wedgewood Houston - Honky Tonk Hideaway Bar

1 Upvotes

We are looking at making a local bar in Wedgewood Houston our yearly college and NFL sports bar ( depending on the games) We found Honky Tonk Hideaway Bar as a suitable choice. They had 20 something tvs, an outdoor area like Sonny's Bar has in Germantown. A huge bar and cheaper drinks than most of the downtown sports bars. Has anyone hosted a gameday viewing there? I know they have the party buses there but that seems a bonus to my group.

MCR with daughter

5 Upvotes

I'm taking my daughter to MCR on 8/13. We're getting in the day before and staying downtown near 4th and Union. I was wondering if there was anything happening in the area the night of the 12th we might get to take in. I'm thinking small local venue with good food. I'd love to show her something akin to Amigo the Devil or Bridge City Sinners. Any thoughts??

How reliable is the weather forecast?

1 Upvotes

We are coming down for that Liverpool game this weekend but the forecast has rain. How reliable is that? I know where we are the weather can change very quickly in a day or two so if I see something on Saturday mid week, by time the end of the week comes around it might get pushed to early the next.

Must see for first time visit

0 Upvotes

Me and my besties are coming to Nashville for a Girls trip. We are 55 and enjoy a little mixture of tourist things as well as local gems. Saturday night we plan to hang out downtown and find a vibe that suites us. What are some absolute must see or do things, I don't mind renting a car. We are there until Wednesday. We are pretty basic GenXers we enjoy live music, good food, fun people, some funky weird stuff is fun, I would love to do a hike or explore some nature for a day. Is the Grand Ole Opry a must see? I want things to see and do that are unique and that I can't do at home, we live in Southern California and Prescott Arizona. Whats the best Nashville hot chicken? Is there a great dive bar downtown that is mostly locals? We love a good dive bar. Give me what you got!!

How does House of Cards work?

Do you have your meal while there's a show going on or do you eat and then take in a performance afterward? Maybe I'm not at all understanding what the concept is...? It sounds intriguing.

Visiting the area for 3 days in September

1 Upvotes

Hi! My boyfriend and I plan to visit his cousins who live about 45 min from Nashville in September for about 3 days. We haven't decided if we are staying closer to them or in Nashville but we definitely want to spend time in Nashville while in TN. We are planning to do some different experiences that we can't get where we live in MD. We went around the same time last year but we didn't do much other than the zoo because of the weather at the time.

We would love any recommendations for animal related activities (such as sanctuaries), for sure!
We looked into Tijon (perfume/cologne making place), Paddywax (candle making) and a few different painting related activities because I love doing arts and crafts and he said both of those sound like they could be fun so we are probably going to go with one of them unless there are other cooler places out there!
He's also a big foodie but me not so much.
Neither of us are big history buffs either so doing any of the history tours would be meh.

We looked into Lane Motor Museum because he loves cars but the website says they're closed Tuesdays/Wednesdays and we'll only be in TN from Monday afternoon-Thursday morning.

Basically, any art or animal related activities are definitely super interesting to us. We would also love some recommendations on places to eat while we're in the area.

Nashville hotel help! Deciding between 3!

6 Upvotes

My husband and I are going to Nashville next month and I already booked the 1 hotel but was looking into a good pool to go to one day and found out about the Joseph hotel and four seasons. We scored a really great deal on the 1 hotel and it's beautiful and have heard great things about the bar.

So my question is out of all 3 hotels which one would you recommend? We are going for 3 nights and 4 days. We only want to possibly do a pool day one of the days. Since the 1 hotel does not have a pool I was just going to buy day passes at one of the hotels that do. Would you suggest doing that or paying extra and staying at the Joseph or four seasons instead?

Skull's Burlesque - New VIP $125 "Guaranteed View"

3 Upvotes

Looking for advice on Skull's Rainbow Room Burlesque show. I went in 2024 for a bachelorette and we waited outside starting at 9pm and watched the show standing. It was incredible and I would love to go back.

I am headed back to Nashville with my sisters and thought I would make a dinner reservation to watch from a table this time. I assumed we would pay the $25pp cover because the reservation would be for 9:30, we would order expensive food and then get to watch the show. When I went to make the reservation, there is a "standard reservation" and the following new option:

"Burlesque Experience Package
$125 Per Person minimum before taxes, fees and gratuity

Indulge in an unforgettable evening of entertainment at Skull’s Rainbow Room with our exclusive Burlesque Experience Package. Guests will enjoy a guaranteed view of the 11:00 pm burlesque performance while taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Skull's Rainbow Room throughout the evening.
Enjoy live music, craft cocktails, exceptional food and the energy of historic Skull's Rainbow Room before the evening’s burlesque performance!

Package Includes:
Guaranteed seating with a view of the 11:00 pm burlesque show that concludes at 12:30 am.
Access to live music prior to the performance.
Price: $125 per person food and beverage minimum applies before taxes, fees and gratuity. $125 deposit is required at time of booking and will be applied toward your final bill. Reservations cancelled within 48 hours of reservation date will be charged a $25 per person cancellation fee. Reservations made within 48 hours of the reservation date are non-refundable."

I really can't afford to shell out $500 and I am worried we will be kicked out after dinner before the show. I have read in some older reviews that a view of the show is not guaranteed, but I feel like the odds of seeing the show are worse now. Has anyone been since this new VIP thing started? I am considering not going at all now :( Any recent experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Grand Old Opry & Museums

2 Upvotes

Visiting Nashville in October and planning to see a concert at the Grand Old Opry as well as the other popular tourist spots like the Country Music Hall of Fame, Ryman Auditorium, etc. Wife and I aren't late night partiers but do plan on walking lower broadway street to enjoy a few drinks and listen to some music.

Question for those that have stayed or are familiar with nashville do you have any recommendations on hotels near the river front or a block or two.off broadway street? I did look at the Gaylord Resort for the convenience of the Grand Ole Opry but not a fan of having to Uber each day to lower broadway street to see the other museums or attractions. Thanks

Last minute ice skating lessons?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I’m visiting Nashville for a friend’s birthday and we’re staying until Monday (July 20th). She just thought about ice skating after going past the Bridgestone Arena and wanted to know if there’s anywhere we could get lessons. Is there any place in the area that we could sign up for on such short notice? If not, are there good places for a public skate in that time?

First NFL game for me and my dad.

8 Upvotes

It’s me and my dad’s first time ever going to a NFL game and first time in Nashville. He is 60 and I’m 30 and he is in bad health and always wanted to go to a Seahawks game. Luckily the Hawks are playing in the preseason in Nashville. We didn’t get to go last year cause he was in the hospital. Could anyone give me some advice to make his trip the best while we are there? And some advice to a good place to park so he isn’t walking far and some estimated pricing of what I may spend cause I don’t make much money. I just want him to have the best day but on a budget lol. Thank y’all in advance!!!
