10 Things To Do In Nashville For A Bachelorette Party
Nashville is such a fun city with so much to do beyond the live music that it is hard to distill it down to a list of the top things to do for a bachelorette – but we have tried! Here are some of the best things to do in the Nashville on your girl’s getaway!
1) Arrington Vineyards
Roughly 40 minutes from the downtown Nashville you will find Arrington Vineyards. Every Saturday and Sunday from April through October you can enjoy live jazz and bluegrass. Simply Living Life is onsite offering food items such as charcuterie boards and flatbreads all weekend long, pair these with some wine from the vineyard and you have a great bachelorette day out.
2) Supper Club at The 1230 Club
Justin Timberlake is one of the most recent celebrities to open up a honky tonk on Broadway, and his establishment the 1230 Club is by far the most stylish of them all. Head to the 1230 Club for drinks or dinner, some live music and rooftop views, but if you want a really special experience book well in advance for The Supper Club.
3) Party Cove Percy Priest Lake
Nashville may not have Yacht Week, but it does have lake parties in the summer at Percy Priest Lake. Grab your girlfriends, rent a boat and hit the water at party cove – make sure to bring along a picnic, drinks and pool floats!
Of course, there are so many more things to do in Nashville for a bachelorette, like bottomless brunch, hitting Broadway, visiting the murals and dining on a rooftop. Keep reading I have all of that and more covered in the rest of this article!
4) The Bluebird Cafe
No visit to Nashville would be complete without an evening at the famous Bluebird Cafe. More suited to a calmer smaller bachelorette group as the Bluebird is a place you come to really listen to the music rather than dance to it! Reservations are required and you can book 1 week in advance for up to six people at a time.
5) Bowling at Pins Mechanical
Pins Mechanical is a dedicated games event space, with old pin ball machines, bowling and other games for groups. There is a bar, and plenty of space for a large group to be entertained for a few hours.
6) Spa Day
Every bachelorette party needs to include some pampering so why not take a day at the spa with your group of girlfriends. There are lots of spas in the city and in the major hotels, popular ones include The Omni and Relâche Spa at Gaylord Opryland.
If you prefer a more dedicated spa experience outside of a hotel you can choose from O.Liv Boby Bar in East Nashville, Escape Nashville in Belle Meade, La Bella e Famosa in Green Hills, and Woodhouse Spa.
7) Iroquioise Steeplechase
The Iroquioise Steeplechase happens every year in Nashville and is a fun day out where you can get dressed up for the event. Time your bachelorette party with this event which is happening on May 14th this year.
8) Bella Selfie Bar
Bella Selfie Bar is exactly what you imagine it to be, a place dedicated to getting selfies. This may not be on every Nashville tourist list, but it could make a fun activity during your girls weekend and an opportunity to get some pictures of you and the group together. Think Museum of Ice Cream style selfie rooms, rose walls and funky bathtubs, all well lit with ring lights ready for you to take a selfie!
9) Visit Franklin and Liepers Fork
Franklin is around 45 mins south of downtown Nashville and is a must visit spot on your girls weekend. Downtown Franklin is a historic town with lots of boutiques and restaurants. I recommend dropping into JJ’s wine bar for some wine tasting and Pucketts if you are looking for a traditional Southern brunch.
10) Country Music Hall Of Fame
Of course, no visit to music city would be complete without a stop at the Country Music Hall Of Fame. If you spend enough time in Nashville you may get lucky enough to see some of the famous musicians in town (I bumped into Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman in Green Hills!), but if not then you can get your fill of country music history at this museum.
11) Lemon Laine Oil Bar
For a unique beauty experience with your girlfriend head to Lemon Laine Oil Bar where you can make your own custom facial oil while sipping on complimentary drinks.
12) Mani / Pedi at Poppy and Monroe
Head to Germantown for a luxurious mani / pedi at Poppy and Monroe where they only use all natural products. This stylish nail bar is an Instagrammable destination to pamper yourself during your bachelorette weekend. After your pamper session you can head to one of Germantown’s nearby brunch spots Herietta Red that we recommend in the brunch section.
13) Studio Goddess
Plan a party at Studio Goddess, an experiential destination where you can host your bachelorette party. Studio Goddess has several packages to choose from priced per person, the packages include gift bags, champagne, private classes of your choice, mural tours and city tours, taking all the stress out of organizing your bachelorette activities!
14) The Listening Room
The Listening Room is a must do on any trip to Nashville, and it is a great bachelorette activity if you love country music. BUT you do need to keep the noise down, so this is not a venue for a rowdy bachelorette party. The Listening Room is where top writers who are behind country music’s most famous songs come to play, and you go to listen!

- While there is so much to do in the city, another great tour is the Jack Daniels Hometown Experience. Just a couple of hours outside of Nashville you can visit the town where Jack Daniels was created and is distilled to this day.

Best Brunch Spots In Nashville For A Bachelorette Party
Brunching in Nashville is serious business, new venues are popping up every week so there are plenty to choose from. But if you want to go to one of the popular choices then you need to plan far in advance – I highly recommend booking at least 1 month ahead as restaurants fill up quickly and you may not be able to get your first choice.
- Hampton Social – Probably one of the most famous brunch spots for a girls getaway or bachelorette in the city. Book early and make sure to order The Mimosa Kit or a Giant Seashell with the cocktail of your choice!
- Liberty Common – One of my favorite spots in Nashville, I just love the French brasserie decor and atmosphere. The restaurant is right next door to Hampton Social and also walking distance to Broadway. My fave cocktail is the Jean Tonic and you cannot go wrong with any of the food.
- Henrietta Red – This Germantown restaurant is known for its seafood and oysters, but for brunch they have wide menu of brunch dishes as well as oysters. The lovely calm atmosphere, great food and mimosas make this an excellent restaurant for a bachelorette brunch in Nashville.
- Hawkers – Did someone say $1.50 mimosas? Yes, me I did and Hawkers is the place to get them! This Asian restaurant is a super fun brunch spot where you can enjoy delicious cuisine from different south Asian countries paired with mimosas and sake bombs.
- The Pool Club at Virgin Hotel – Every weekend the pool club has DJ’s getting the party started early, the food is decent and the mimosas are a little more expensive than other spots but you come here for the atmosphere and the social.
- Mockingbird – This brunch spot is close to Pins Mechanical and makes a perfect place to brunch and then head there for games.
- Pinewood Social – Brunch and bowling wrapped up into one destination! Pinewood has a retro themed bowling alley and an extensive brunch menu.
- Butcher and Bee – East Nashville is full of great brunch spots, and Butcher and Bee is just one of them. It attracts lots of bachelorette groups, and locals, all excited to try the latest dishes from the ever changing farm fresh menu. Do not leave this place without trying the whipped feta, it’s the best thing on the menu!
- Loveless Cafe – Farther out of Nashville you will find the famous Loveless Cafe, which used to also be home to Loveless Motel (you may have seen the retro sign). The traditional southern fare served here is unrivalled, the biscuits are delicious and the pulled pork is the best in the city. But you cannot make a reservation on the weekend, and there is typically a long wait. To skip the line, order for pick up and then enjoy your food outside on one of the picnic benches!
- Bar Taco – Transport yourself away from Nashville in this wanderlust inspiring restaurant known as the best taco bar in the city!

Best Bars In Nashville For A Bachelorette Party
There are so many bars in Nashville, and if you walk 30 yards down Broadway you will walk by several. So to narrow the field a little I have shared a couple of chic upscale cocktail bars and speakeasies to visit in Nasville.
From our local’s, experience here are 10 of the best bars in Scottsdale for bachelorette parties.
- Attaboy, East Nashville – Arguably the best cocktail bar in Nashville, and one that’s not that easy to get into. Arrive early, ring the doorbell and if there is a table they will seat you otherwise you have to wait as there is no standing room available. There is also no menu, which is what makes Attaboy so special, you tell the barman the spirits and flavors you like and they will mix something just for you.
- Rosemary, East Nashville – A visit to Rosemary is like going to a memorable house party. The bar is actually in an old East Nashville house, with multiple levels, bars, outdoor spaces and rooftops. Head here at the beginning or the end of your night!

- Barcelona Wine Bar – This upscale bar near Vanderbilt is a nice spot to start your bachelorette evening. Pair your wines with some delicious tapas on the terrace and relax before your big night out!
Best Honky Tonks In Nashville For A Bachelorette Party
A bachelorette party in Nashville wouldn’t be complete without at least one trip to Broadway!
Gather up your girls and grab dinner close by before heading out to some of the most famous bars in the city. Depending on which bar you want to go to you may have to queue, but the queues move quickly as most people dip in and out of different bars rather than staying at one for the whole evening.
Our favorite spot is The Stage, they have a great atmosphere, several stories but if you stay on the ground floor you can snag a table up on the balcony and watch from above. Other popular spots are Tootsies, Roberts Western World, Legends, Kids Rocks Big Honky Tonk, Luke Bryans Luke’s 32 Bridge, Blake Shelton’s Ole Red and Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row.

One of the things that makes Nashville an ideal destination for bachelorette parties is that it is easily accessible by direct flight from a number of cities around the United States.
The airport is Nashville International Airport (BNA) which is around a 20-minute drive to downtown without traffic. You can pick up an Uber at the airport or rent a car.
Best Time To Have A Nashville Bachelorette Party?
Nashville is a great city to visit for a bachelorette party year-round, there really isn’t a bad time to come to the city. But if you don’t like humidity and you don’t like cold then avoid the peak summer and winter months.
