Chic restaurant and cocktail bar with the best view of the city by far. Food is on the pricy side, but we recommend grabbing a drink and taking in the view on their covered balcony. Oh, and the french fries are free if you've ordered drinks, so be sure to get some.
Just head to the top floor of the Marriott.
If you've got a car, there's also free valet parking.

Broadway lives up to the hype. If you're here on the weekends, expect big, energetic crowds, and loud music until late in the night. Just about every bar or "honky-tonk" will have great live music, with bands playing pop and contemporary country. There are plenty of spots to party till all hours.
If you need a respite from the pop, head to Robert's for some old-school country music.

Need a souvenir? This print shop has made posters for just about every major musician to come through Nashville. They still use wood block printing (and you can watch them do it). Some of the posters have become collectors items, but you can still get some pretty cool prints without spending much at all.
You can spot a few Hatch Show prints around the AirBNB.

A scenic alley with some great bars and live music. It's a great alternative to Broadway if you're feeling like trying something new. It looks great at night. Head's up that most of the bars charge covers in Printers Alley.
