Whether you’re chasing live music, post-game revelry, or just the right ratio of gin to tonic, downtown Nashville delivers. Boqueria at Fifth + Broadway sits at the city’s cultural crossroads, surrounded by rhythm, grit, and Southern hospitality. Here’s your curated crawl of what to do when you’re not nursing sangría or savor slivers of jamón.

1. Ryman Auditorium

The “Mother Church” of country music and just across the street from your next croqueta. Don’t miss the acoustics—or the ghosts.

2. Country Music Hall of Fame

Legends, lore, and rhinestones. Then churros. Balance restored.

3. Assembly Food Hall Rooftop

Skyline sip upstairs. Spanish spread downstairs. Consider it a tasting menu in reverse.

4. Bridgestone Arena

Hockey, concerts, chaos. Pre-game or post-set, we’re half a block away with patatas bravas and dirty martinis.

5. Fifth + Broadway Shops

Shop where chic meets honky-tonk. Hit up Nike, Apple, and Free People and then eat where Tennesee meets tapas.

6. Johnny Cash Museum

Visit this shrine to one of Country’s greats and then walk the line right over to our happy hour.

7. The Gulch Murals

Gulch, gulp, repeat. Walk the route of colorful murals and then drink a rainbow of sangrías.

8. Broadway Bars

Lean into the neon at Tootsies, Robert’s Western World, Nudies, and Legends. We’ll be here when you’re ready to escape the crowds and settle in for some handcrafted cocktails and a spread of small plates.

9. Frist Art Museum

Check out the rotating exhibitions and then stop in for Catalan roasted chicken. It’s all art.

10. Acme Feed & Seed

Southern sounds with a skyline. Slide into Boqueria after for a bite that lingers longer than the encore.

11. Brunch at Boqueria

Let’s not pretend: you came for the sangría pitcher and stayed for the paella. Saturdays were made for this.
