Nashville Bar Guide

The most famous bar street in America, for better and worse. Honky-tonks stacked three stories high, live music starting at 10am, none of the bands asking for covers. The tourist density is real but so is the music. Go on a Tuesday afternoon if you want to experience Broadway without the bachelorette party logistics.
