We are back from our weekend trip to Nashville. We landed around 2pm on Friday and after leaving our stuff at the hotel we walked down to Broadway. The street was pretty packed and a bit overwhelming. Nashville is kinda like Vegas these days. Very popular for bachelor, bachelorette, 30s and 50s party celebrations. A lot of them start their party as early as like 9-10am in the morning so around 3 when we got there people where already in full speed party mode. But it seemed to come in waves, cause sometimes when we came out of a place it was almost “empty” on the street cause everybody had probably ended up inside somewhere, and then in an hour it was completely packed on the streets again.

Every bar had their doors and windows open and bands performing loudly in the opening, so you heard 20 different songs at the same time when walking around which was actually fun. Country music everywhere and people wearing boots and cowboy hats. 

We were hungry so we went to Jacks bbq on Broadway, like the only place that wasn’t packed. After that we just walked around checking all the stores that sold boots, walked down to the river and then ended up on 2nd Ave where we saw they had a Coyote Ugly bar. Maybe you don’t know this, but Jim and I met at the Coyote bar in NYC, so we thought it could be fun to check out. Na, it is pretty tacky and not very fun, so we didn’t stay long.

Our friends had now landed and texted us to come to Legends Corner. That was probably the best bar on Broadway with a little older people, both tourists and locals, hanging out there (at least during the day). Great live music and lots of fun music stuff to look at on the walls. A more calm place in compare to all the other bars. 

We went bar hopping for the rest of the night. One new bar off Broadway had a full 90s theme with arcade games that was free to play as much as you wanted and the decor in there was cool, but ya, very new and not so country. We stayed to play a few games and then continued. At one point we ended up at Robert’s Western World, a bar that I had written down. The night before our trip, I re-watched the episode of Master of None where Aziz goes to Nashville, and I saw they went to Robert’s. We wanted to honky tonk of course but every place was so packed this late at night that you could barely exist, haha, but I definitely tried to dance in the crowd:)
