How to Plan the Perfect Bachelorette Party in Nashville

This city rightfully earned the nickname "NashVegas."

Nashville didn’t earn its nickname “NashVegas” for nothing. Bachelorette parties flock to Nashville for its amazing nightlife, incredible music scene, and mouthwatering Southern food. While wedding planning can be stressful, the bachelorette party shouldn't be. And if you're considering Nashville for a bachelorette, this guide can help you craft the perfect itinerary for your group’s big weekend in Music City.

Where to Stay

One of the best hotels for a bachelorette weekend is Hyatt Centric Downtown Nashville. The sleek modern building features floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing views of the city as well as two-bedroom suites available on each floor to keep your group connected. The hotel is bright and colorful with murals and artwork by local Nashville artists that provide more photo ops than you can count. Top it all off with a state-of-the-art gym, a relaxing rooftop pool and bar, and an amazing bar and restaurant on the ground floor.

And you can’t beat the hotel’s location. Just blocks away from Broadway and across the street from the Ascend Amphitheatre, you’ll be within walking distance of Nashville’s biggest attractions including bars, music, museums, and amazing food. Your party will be in the middle of Nashville’s biggest party.

What to Do

One of the best things about bachelorette parties is getting to spend quality time with your closest friends. Fortunately, Nashville offers so many fun ways to explore the city that are fun for the whole group.

Get to know the city on a Mural and Mimosas Tour or explore the booming craft beer and distillery scene on the Nashville Brewery and Distillery Cart Tour. If wine is more your taste then take the behind-the-scenes tour at Arlington Vineyard and have a picnic on their scenic lawn.

Music lovers can learn about Nashville and music history and one of the city’s many museums. Step into the Taylor Swift Education Center at the Country Music Hall of Fame, record your own version of a country classic at the famed Ryman Auditorium, step back in time at RCA Studio B, or get interactive at the recently opened National Museum of African American Music. Broadway can be fun but for a more intimate music experience head to Bluebird Cafe or Listening Room Cafe which features small crowds and excellent musicians both famous and up-and-coming.

And if your group needs a recovery day, then lounge and enjoy a pool day on the rooftop at The Hyatt Centric. Enjoy the views and a draft cocktail from the poolside bar at Lala’s. Or head to the trendy 12 South neighborhood to peruse shops and galleries. If you love the idea of having a personalized souvenir then take the group to Lemon Laine’s custom oil bar or create your own custom hat at Rustler Hat Co.

Where to Eat

No bachelorette is complete without a brunch. For a laid-back breakfast start off with a Nashville staple: Pancake Pantry which has been serving Nashville since 1961. Located conveniently next door to the Hyatt Centric, you can start your day off with a brunch cocktail flight and one of their many pancake creations.

To start your day off with a bang head around the corner to The Hampton Social. This chic nautical-inspired restaurant offers shareable plates and an extensive rose menu. If you’re up for making a trip head to The Loveless Cafe. Located on a complex that features multiple shops in old motels, the cafe serves up old-school southern favorites that have been perfected over the last 70 years.

If your party is feeling peckish later in the day there are even more options. Assembly Food Hall will please even the pickiest of eaters with over 30 vendors as well as three stages offering a full calendar of events. Pinewood Social will definitely keep the party going offering a full-service restaurant and coffee bar, pool, patio, and bowling alley. And, of course, no trip to Nashville would be complete without trying Nashville Hot Chicken so don’t forget to stop by Hattie B’s or Prince’s Hot Chicken.

The dining options don’t stop for dinner. Ella’s on 2nd is the Hyatt Centric ground floor restaurant and offers seasonal cocktails and inspired New American Dishes. The mains are sure to impress and the whipped housemade ricotta is a crowd favorite.

Another setting to sip and enjoy would be The Twelve Thirty Club. This multi-level establishment has something for everyone. The ground floor Honkey Tonk is all Broadway vibes with elevated bar fare and the rooftop bar offers light bites and views. However, the star of the show is the Supper Club which is self-described as “unapologetically, dapper-as-hell” serving a full menu and live music every night.

To get the party started early there’s no better place to be than Layer Cake. This bright vibrant restaurant loves a theme and that theme depends on where in the restaurant you are! Perfect venue if your group has a themed outfit night planned.

Where to Drink

There are so many amazing bars in Nashville that it can be overwhelming. You’ll want to make sure where you end up has plenty of room, plenty of options, and keeps the good vibes going! Whether you and your crew are more of the laid-back cocktail-sipping types or the party-till-dawn crowd, you’ll easily find something that fits your style.

For a laidback night check out 6th & Peabody which features a brewery, distillery, and food trucks all on a massive patio.

For a more upscale experience head to House of Cards where a secret tunnel leads you to a world of magic and high-end cocktails as well as a multi-million dollar art collection. Just be warned this establishment has a dress code and no photo policy.

The groups ready to hit the town should bar-hop down Lower Broadway. This three-block area is jam-packed with bars and honky tonks that host live music all day and night. Check out Nashville mainstays like Tootsie’s and Robert’s Western World or party at newer celeb-owned joints like Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa or Dierk Bentley’s Whiskey Row. While Acme’s Feed & Seed’s rooftop offers the best view of Broadway.
