Hear that sound? It’s that glorious ring you hear when you find out we’re hooking you up with 24 hours of full-fledged fun in Nashville. We wish. Anywho, in the city of sounds, Nashville’s beat is a never-ending flurry of new senses to discover, and we’re here to help you form the metaphorical soundtrack of sorts that will guide you through your Nashville adventure. From the city’s spiciest eats, to flea markets and secret cocktail menus, we hope you’re ready to let loose and explore it all.
Here’s some of our local favorites every hour, on the hour, and a map to help you get there.
12PM: SHHHH!
The secret to avoiding the long wait for Hattie B’s Hot Chicken is ordering on the phone ahead of time. We dare you to try the spiciest chicken sandwich on the menu.
1PM: WINE DOWN
Afternoons spent enjoying a picnic and sipping wine straight from the vine at Arrington Vineyard, are afternoons well spent.
2PM: WE’RE GOING SHOPPING
Warm up your wallet because a world of unique shops awaits you inside Marathon Motor Village, a former auto factory built in 1881.
3PM: FEELING CHEEKY
Take time to disconnect and re-connect with the fresh air breezing through the 55-acre Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Art Museum.
4PM: FOR THE RECORD
There’s no time like the present to explore Third Man Records, Jack White’s recording studio, shop, and much, much more.
5PM: FOLLOW THE BEER
Let the allure of Nashville’s finest brews lead you to Jackalope Brewing Company or Yazoo Brewing Company, or both.
6PM: HAVE YOU HEARD?
If you haven’t yet heard the sounds of the local emerging musicians at the Bluebird Cafe, do yourself a favor, drop all your plans, and go.
7PM: EEEEATS
The communal tables at the industrial-chic Rolf & Daughters restaurant is the perfect place to turn strangers into friends. First things first, order the bucatini!
8PM: YOU WOULDN’T DARE
Don’t you dare think about being ‘too full’ for dessert, especially when a famously delicious maple & bacon doughnut await you at Five Daughters Bakery.
9PM: BACKSTAGE PASSES
Anyone can just go to the Grand Ole Opry, but not everyone knows to take a backstage tour of the original Ryman Auditorium.
10PM: RED HOT
Got a hot date? Look no further than Henrietta Red. With all your necessary aphrodisiacs (oysters), craft cocktails, natural wines and a sleek ambiance to match, you simply can’t go wrong.
11PM: TLC
Have your craft cocktails mixed with care in a cozy setting at Patterson House, a local favorite with a serious bacon old fashioned.
12AM: JOY RIDE
Late nights are best spent singing your favorite radio songs too loud on Joyride, a local golf cart service that will whiz you around the city ’til late.
1AM: WHIP IT
Nothing says ‘I’m in the mood’ like taking a date for a “Whipped Cream If You’re Lucky” cocktail at the trendy Bar Rosemary.
2AM: OH BOY
We can’t wait to see what mischief you get up to at Attaboy, an appropriately hipster speakeasy with an even more appropriate no-menu policy. Tell the bartender what you’re into, and leave it to the professionals.
3AM: TONK IT UP
Did you really go to Nashville if you didn’t honky-tonk? We think not. Hurry up though, it’s last-call at Robert’s Western World serving up classic country at it’s finest.

If one too many drinks have lead to late night cravings, head on over to the retro-cool Hermitage Cafe for a perfectly greasy Patty Melt.

6AM: BY ANY BEANS NECESSARY
Coffee is being served as we speak at Killebrew, a local favorite named after J.B. Killebrew, the first Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture.
7AM: ON THE RUN
You’ll surely deserve all the fried goodies and cocktails to come after a scenic morning jog through Riverfront Park.

If you’re lucky enough to be in town, head to the monthly Nashville Flea Market at The Fairgrounds, where over 800 vendors offer their goodies from vintage wares to fresh local produce.
9AM: BUT FIRST, COFFEE
You haven’t had Nashville’s finest until you’ve had the coffee from Barista Parlor, a trendy local coffee shop that roasts its own beans.

Rent bicycles from Nashville B-cycle, there are 36 stations around the city, and speed through the sights and sounds of Downtown in style.
