Parties in Nashville
Music City never takes the stage down
Nashville is Music City USA for a reason — the legendary honky-tonks of Lower Broadway pump out live country music twenty-four hours a day, creating a non-stop party atmosphere unlike anything else in America. Beyond the tourist strip, East Nashville has cultivated a vibrant indie and craft-beer scene, while the Gulch and SoBro neighbourhoods attract a younger crowd with rooftop bars and upscale clubs. Nashville has become the USA's bachelorette and bachelor party capital, but its authentic musical heritage gives every night out a genuine soul.
