Itinerary inspired by the Foresyte community.
📍 Play it Loud
Day 1: Honky Tonk
“Day drinking, live music, and neon everywhere. You stumble out of one bar and straight into another. No cover, just chaos and guitars.”
Day 1: Dinner @ House of Cards
“Dinner with a side of wonder. Magic, mystery, and mouthwatering plates all under one gilded roof.”
Day 2: Hall of Fame
“It’s more than just costumes and gold records. Even if you don’t know a thing about country you end up wandering for hours. Makes you feel like part of the story too.”
Day 2: Lunch @ Etch
“Bold flavors, sharp execution. This downtown spot doesn’t play it safe. Unexpected pairings that hit harder than they should.”
Day 2: Ryman Auditorium
“Whole vibe is like walking into a church but instead of prayers it’s Patsy Cline. You think it’s hype until you hear the sound bounce off those walls.”
Day 2: Dinner @ Henley Southern
“Bold takes on southern staples. Think fried chicken with a passport and a plan.”
Day 3: Brunch @ Hampton Social
“Rosé all day. Light, breezy, and Instagram’s favorite backdrop. This spot nails the beach house vibe without leaving downtown.”
Day 3: Nashville Murals
“These murals are less background and more mood. Take your shots, but honestly just standing there and soaking it in feels different.”
Day 3: Parthenon
“You’re walking in a city of neon guitars and suddenly – bam – there’s a full Greek temple standing right in front of you. Feels like a glitch in the matrix but cooler.”
Day 3: Dinner @ Stillery
“Live tunes, local drafts, and good vibes on tap. This is the Nashville you came for.”
