Ole Smoky Distillery has expanded their presence in Tennessee by joining forces with Yee Haw Brewing Company to collectively open a complex in Nashville’s area of SoBro. The venue features a distillery, brewery, bars, tasting areas, beer & bottle shops, merchandise, big screen TVs and live entertainment. Visitors will be able to enjoy moonshine, cocktails, beer by the glass, and food.
Visiting Nashville? Live in Nashville? This is the spot to go for some great moonshine cocktails, great local beer and great atmosphere to hang out and watch the game or listen to live music. I frequent here and always love to bring friends and family when they come to visit. We did the moonshine tasting and Jen was fantastic, great attitude, friendly and knowledgeable.

This downtown park has jogging paths, grassy spots for picnics and a small lake for paddle boating.
this review specific to Parthenon replica: entertaining enough for adults and wondrous for children/kids. If your kid/s likes Percy Jackson they will be overjoyed to find some movie props (from the book adaptation) along with an impressive permanent exhibition inside. Clean bathrooms; good gift shop. Side note: the replica statues were created by a female artist--empowering visit for young girls.

Historic RCA Studio B--once the recording home of popular music titans such as Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, and The Everly Brothers--is both a classroom for Nashville area students and a popular cultural attraction. First made available to Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum visitors in 1977, RCA Studio B was donated to the Museum in 1992. Studio B tours are available as part of the Museum's platinum ticket package, which also includes Museum admission and audio tour, and depart from the Museum hourly between 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. daily. Transportation provided.
By far a must see! Definitely worth the extra money to tour Studio B. Our tour guide was amazing and extremely kind, very knowledgeable on artists. Loved this tour!

When you walk through the doors of historic Ryman Auditorium, one thing becomes clear right away: this isn’t just another nightly music venue, and it’s so much more than a daytime tourist stop. This place is hallowed ground. This is the exact spot where bluegrass was born—where Johnny Cash met June Carter, where souls were saved and a slice of history was nearly lost. It was right here that country music found an audience beyond its own back porch, and countless careers took off as deals were signed on napkins and paper scraps backstage. Open daily for tours and shows, right in the heart of Music City.
While attending the show, “Opry Country Classics” I was greatly helped by two wonderful ushers, Inez and Amy T. As many know, the historic Ryman Auditorium has wooden pews for seats. The thin pad I brought didn’t help pad the seating enough due to multiple hip surgeries. After getting up to stand in the back, Inez came over and immediately asked if I needed a softer seat.... then Amy was there in a flash with a padded chair. This was SO appreciated! It allowed me to be comfortable and I felt very welcomed. Inez also checked to see if I wanted my husband in handicapped seating with me as well. Not only was the seat far more comfortable, the bonus was a great view of the stage without having to shift around for better visibility on the pews with tight seating. The show was very entertaining and it was nice to be able to fully enjoy it. For those with any seating limitations or mobility issues, I would recommend asking for handicapped seating at Ryman. Amy also shared that there are several balcony rows with padded chairs if that alone would help with comfort. Thank you again, Inez and Amy T! And....Inez, to me, you are a Ryman icon with your many years of welcoming guests there with your beautiful hospitality!

This downtown area is the heart of Nashville's nightlife and is the home to countless bars and clubs.
Due to Covid-19 most everyone was masked and practiced social distancing as much as one can in a huge draw tourist place. I loved this as compared to Beale Street in Memphis. More country music, less soul. All interactions with locals were friendly. Lots of young wannabes around.If we were young again and back in our drinking days this would have been even better.

The Grand Ole Opry, an American Icon and Nashville's number one attraction, is known for creating one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences for audiences of all ages. It's where unforgettable moments happen every week...moments like the night Trace Adkins revealed a tweet inviting his pal Blake Shelton to become a member of the Opry. With country music's new stars, superstars, and legends live on stage, you never know what'll happen next. See the show that made country music famous.
We took the backstage tour of the Grand ole Opry, Wow! so very cool and informative, Anna did an amazing job explaining all the aspects of the theater and was able to answer our questions. So amazing to be able to stand where so many music greats have made their name. Definitely would recommend..
