BBQ: One of our favorite BBQ places in Nashville. There are multiple locations, but this one is close to Broadway and the welcome party location. Get the pulled pork.
BBQ: Our other favorite BBQ spot, also with multiple locations. This one is in an adorable neighborhood called 12th Ave South, with lots of great shops, restaurants, and bars. Get the banana pudding.
BBQ/hot chicken: We hear people come to Nashville for hot chicken? Literally so many locations, but this one is on Broadway.
Brunch: This restaurant's first location is in New York City, and Katie and her mom ate there while wedding dress shopping. This one is in the Gulch.
Brunch: SUCH a good brunch spot, and also for dinner. Josh met one of Katie's besties (Lizzy Brennan) over brunch here a few years ago :) It's in East Nashville.
Brunch: Solid brunch close to Broadway.
Coffee shop: Such a cute cafe, where Katie used to spend her post-college days applying for jobs and dreaming of life in DC. Multiple locations, but this one is close to the Tempo Hotel. The 12th Ave South location is the cutest though!
Dinner: Great food, amazing vibes. Also great for a cocktail. And it's super close to our wedding venue in a cool neighborhood called Wedgewood-Houston.
Dinner: Upscale Modern American in Germantown and the sister restaurant to Liberty Common (our welcome party restaurant).
Dinner: "Farm-to-fork restaurant" in the Gulch, which is close to our hotels.
Dinner: A chic spin on American comfort food in the Gulch, also close to our hotels.
Dinner: Mediterranean restaurant in Edgehill that is BettyGray approved.
Dinner: Casual pizza place with an amazing back patio in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. Get the hot honey pepperoni (but be forewarned, you might also get it again during wedding weekend).
Broadway honky tonk: Our favorite one of the bunch. If you get lucky, you'll see a musician named Chili Dog funnel a beer and then use the empty bottle to play his electric guitar.
Broadway honky tonk: Another good one, but we cannot stress this enough... you will find so much live music everywhere you turn on Broadway.
Broadway non-honky tonk: This is Justin Timberlake's multi-story bar, which has a great rooftop.
Drinks: Beachy cocktail bar right next to Liberty Common (our welcome party spot).
Drinks: Vibey rooftop drinks in the Gulch.
Drinks: Cidery close to our venue in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. Josh and Katie are BIG fans of their cider.
Drinks: Brewery on Music Row (but there is also an East Nashville location).
Drinks: Katie's favorite Nashville brewery in Germantown... they've got some great juicy IPAs.
Drinks: Brewery just off Broadway.
