Nashville Bachelorette Party Ideas

Before we jump into the weekend itinerary, I first want to share some fun Nashville Bachelorette party ideas. This way, you will be able to design the perfect party for the bride-to-be! Trust me, your options are close to endless!

Places to Stay

When planning your Nashville bachelorette party, location is key. You’ll want to be close to the action, especially if you’re planning on hitting up the bars on Broadway (which obviously you will be during your weekend).

No one wants to deal with long Uber rides back and forth (which come at a pricy cost during peak times). I personally think staying close to Broadway is 1,000 percent worth the premium fee that you’ll likely pay.

During our stay in Nashville, we stayed at the SpringHill Suites by Mariott (Downtown) which was just a 5-10 minute walk to Broadway. It was also one of the more affordable downtown hotels complete with a pool, rooftop bar, and even free breakfast!

However, if you are okay with a bit of a drive, here are some other top options!

  • Airbnb: Opting for an Airbnb in areas like The Gulch, Downtown, or East Nashville allows for privacy and plenty of space to spread out. You can find stylish lofts, entire homes, or modern townhouses with great amenities like rooftop decks and Instagram-worthy decor.
  • Hotels: If you prefer a hotel, look for ones in the Downtown or The Gulch area. Options like The Bobby Hotel (with its rooftop pool and trendy vibe), The Thompson Nashville, or Noelle are all chic spots that put you right in the heart of the city.

Daytime Things to Do

There’s plenty to see and do in Nashville during the day before the nightlife kicks in. Whether your group is into sightseeing or pampering, these activities are perfect for a fun daytime adventure with the girls!

  • Pedal Pontoon: Hop on the iconic Nashville Pedal Pontoon. Yep, it’s a bike/boat/bar! Pedal your way along the river while sipping drinks and enjoying music. It’s a great way to tour the city and pre-game at the same time.
  • Visit 12 South: This trendy neighborhood is perfect for some low-key exploration. Stop by White’s Mercantile, a chic general store, or grab a coffee at Frothy Monkey. Don’t forget to snap some photos at the famous I Believe in Nashville mural.
  • Relax by the Pool: If you’re staying at a hotel like The Virgin, Bobby Hotel, or Holston House, you’ll have access to rooftop pools. Spend the day lounging, sipping cocktails, and soaking up some sun.
  • Spa Day: Treat the bride-to-be to a relaxing spa day. O.liv Body Bar offers indulgent treatments like massages, facials, and aromatherapy.
  • Tour the Grand Ole Opry: Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Nashville’s most iconic venue, where country music legends have performed for decades.
  • Taste of Nashville: Embark on a culinary tour that lets you savor local flavors, from hot chicken to Southern barbecue, while exploring the city’s vibrant food scene.
  • Line-Dancing Class: Learn the basics of line dancing at a fun-filled class, perfect for groups looking to get into the Nashville spirit and prepare for a night of honky-tonk fun.

Nightlife Things to Do

Nashville’s nightlife is craaaazy, but in the best way. Whether you want to party in true honky-tonk style or hit up trendy cocktail bars, the city has something for everyone.

  • Hit Broadway Bars: Broadway is the heart of Nashville nightlife. Don’t miss the chance to bar-hop through some of the best honky-tonks, like Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, Honky Tonk Central, and The Stage. For a celebrity-owned experience, check out Kid Rock’s Big Honky Tonk or Ole Red (Blake Shelton’s bar). My favorite was Morgan Wallens’s new bar!
  • Rooftop Bars: For stunning views and classy vibes, visit LA Jackson at The Thompson Hotel or L27 at The Westin. Both offer incredible views of the Nashville skyline and craft cocktails (and a bit more laid back than Broadway)
  • Party Bus/Tractor/Bike: Yep, Nashville has the most unique party buses I’ve ever seen. It’s a fun way to get around the town!

Best Places to Eat (Brunch and Dinner)

You’ll need to refuel in style between all the fun. Here are some of the best places to grab brunch and dinner in Nashville during your bachelorette party!

Brunch Spots:

  • The Mockingbird: This modern diner serves up Insta-worthy brunch dishes like their famous “What the Cluck” chicken and waffles. Plus, the cocktails are delicious.
  • Biscuit Love: A Nashville staple, this brunch hotspot is known for its buttery biscuits and gravy. Try their Bonuts (biscuit donuts) for a sweet treat.
  • Pinewood Social: With a retro vibe, craft coffee, and an outdoor pool, Pinewood Social is a great place to relax with brunch before a day of exploring.
  • The Pancake House: I can confirm the pancakes live up to the hype. There will likely be a line outside, but it’s worth the wait!

Dinner Spots:

Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ sign in Nashville.
  • Husk: For a true Southern dining experience, make a reservation at Husk. The restaurant focuses on locally sourced ingredients and elevated Southern dishes.
  • Bartaco: Perfect for a group, Bartaco serves up tasty tacos and margaritas in a laid-back atmosphere. Ideal for a fun, casual dinner before heading out for the night.
  • 5th & Taylor: This American brasserie in Germantown is a top choice for a special dinner. The shareable plates and chic setting make it perfect for a celebration.
  • Chief’s BBQ: This was my personal favorite dinner in Nashville! It’s located on the 5th floor of Chief’s on Broadway and is so so tasty! However, if you are out and about on Broadway, you can get food at almost all of the bars.

  • Book in Advance: Nashville is a bachelorette hotspot, so make sure to book accommodations, brunch spots, and popular activities well ahead of time.
  • Pack Comfortable Shoes: You’ll be doing a lot of walking, especially around Broadway, so pack cute but comfortable shoes for the day. Save the heels and cowboy boots for nighttime (my feet were SO swollen after one night in boots)
  • Plan Some Downtime: The weekend will be packed with activities, so make sure to schedule some downtime for the group to relax and recharge—whether it’s by the pool or at the spa.
  • Split Costs with Apps: Use apps like Splitwise or Venmo to keep track of shared expenses like rides, meals, and activities. It makes dividing costs much easier.
  • Stay Hydrated: Between the dancing, cocktails, and Nashville heat, it’s important to stay hydrated. Carry water bottles with you and pace yourself during the day.

With its lively music scene, incredible food, and vibrant nightlife, Nashville is the perfect bachelorette party destination. This guide will help you plan an epic weekend your group won’t forget!
