Hey, I am visiting Nashville to see Robert Plant and also scout places to possibly play around bonnaroo weekend. Nothing would be sweeter than setting up and rocking out before or after Roo. Anyone know any great places to eat or check out? I want to check out as much of town as I can. Also, any sweet bars that do stuff besides country would be nice to check out!
Dude, there are tons of cool places. Just depends on what you're in to, bar and food wise. If you head downtown (Broadway area), it'll be a lot of honky-tonks which can actually be fun.
Check out the Exit/In and The End (music venues) on Elliston place. Mercy Lounge and Cannery Ballroom are two other awesome music venues. But the Ryman is by far my favorite music venue in town.
The Gold Rush on Elliston is one of my favorite bars. Wolfman Jess will insist you check out the Yazoo brewery which is located in the Gulch, near downtown. There are also cool bars in East Nashville such as Three Crow Bar and The Red Door East.
Restaurants are a whole 'nother story. There are sooo many to choose from. Prince's Hot Chicken is a classic, as is the Loveless Cafe (which is not actually in Nashville but on the outskirts). Calypso Cafe is my fav local place for cheap eats.
I was kinda forced into taking my girlfriend to a Reba Macentire (how ever you spell her stupid name) concert... the concert was god awful, but afterwards, we ate at Merchants on Broadway, the food was pretty damn good, and not terribly expensive.
Febuary 6-9th. The show is at the Ryman. I have some friends and music connections there, but I am making a list of your guys suggestions, because I know you guy won't lead me wrong! Combined with my friends I should be able to find a good time or two!!! Thanks very much guys!!!!
Yazoo is a microbrewery here in town (they also set up at Bonnaroo each year in the Brooer's Tent). Pretty much any beer you get there will be stellar. Even if you can't get to the Yazoo taproom when it's open, many of the bars here in town serve Yazoo on tap. My favorite is Dos Perros.
I also forgot to mention the Hillsboro Village/21st Avenue area. It's where a lot of the Vandy kids hang out so there's a "college" type atmosphere around there with younger folks. But there are still some good bars. And Fido (a coffee shop) on 21st is where a lot of celebs get their coffee... including Robert Plant.
I would still recommend East Nashville and the Five Points area. I'm a little biased because I live over here, but there's a great vibe, a good mix of ages, and lots of local bars and eateries.
What kind of good beers at Yazoo Jess?? My dad is gong to be with me. I am 29 he is 49 so it sounds pretty good!
Pretty much every kind, but it wont be open while you are here or we could go do a tour. East Nashville is pretty happening like Julie said I really enjoy three crow bar over in five points. Let me know if you and your dad want to go get a couple of beers one night, I will always use any excuse to go hoist a few with a inforooster. Also I wish that show was at the Ryman unfortunately it is at The War Memorial. I might try to get a ticket for one night, but I am still undecided.

Bringing your Dad? Ok, forget Lipstick Lounge. 3 Crow Bar is a better idea.
If your into vinyl, hit Grimey's and Third Man Records. Very close to each other and not too far from Five Points and downtown. Avoid Broadway, other than to laugh.
Which show are you guys hitting. Word of warning, War Memorial suxs ass.
Oh crap, I am going to have to research a bit more on what exactly what my dad is taking me to. He said it was the Ryman, Of course he could be full of stuff also!!! I will find out more.
I am going to drag that post back up from the depths of my wall and make that mix. I got side tracked by all the good music brewbs suggested. Then someone asked for 50 ways to leave your lover, but now I have a hip hop version of that song..... It's a weird life Djing. I had to send some gear back this week so I won't be putting out anything new for a couple weeks except this mad crazy 90's mix I have been toying around with here tonight.
Ok this is getting silly, but Yonder is at the Mercy Lounge I might go myself. As for drinks Mercy Lounge is about 4 blocks from the aforementioned Yazoo Brewery. Which I highly recommend, there is a decent chance I will be there just ask for Jess at the bar and they will point me out if I am.

Ahh I'm sorry. i knew it was at the ballroom and it was two places in one.....just got the exit inn mixed up with the mercy lounge. But yea, I had their brew at Record Store Day at Grimeys for the past two years......great stuff.
Sorry about that. i came out of DJ hibernation 6 months ago, and I have been booking gigs pretty regular. Sounds like a plan but I will get with you colser to the date for sure!!!
