Nashville Bachelorette Weekend: Boots, Boats & Broadway

We touched down in Nashville buzzing with excitement and headed straight to our accommodations to drop bags, pop some bubbly, and officially kick off the weekend. Dinner was easy and perfect: tacos brought in from a local spot (because nothing says “vacation mode” like not cooking).

The night was all about classic bachelorette bonding. We broke out the newlywed game to test just how well the bride really knows her groom—cue laughter, a little friendly roasting, and a lot of “wait… WHAT?” moments. We wrapped the night prepping outfits, sashes, and energy for the days ahead. The tone was set: This weekend was going to be iconic.

Friday morning started strong with Suzy Wong’s Drag Brunch, a Nashville classic. Big personalities, bold performances, and cocktails flowing before noon—honestly, no better way to kick off the day.

From there, we Ubered out to Percy Priest Lake for full lake-day bliss. With a pontoon and captain rental, we were able to fully relax and enjoy the sunshine, music, and drinks without a single worry. We cruised over to party cove to see who was tied up, made some new friends, and soaked in the ultimate summer energy.

After heading back to freshen up, we slipped into something a little cuter and started the night with cocktails at Never Never—cool vibes, strong drinks. Dinner followed at Pastis, where we lingered over great food and even better conversation before calling it a night (responsibly… mostly).

Saturday brunch was at Pinewood Social, where we fueled up with coffee and brunch plates, and even squeezed in a little bowling for fun. Competitive? Maybe. Hungover? Possibly. Worth it? Absolutely.

Then it was time for the full Nashville experience. We hit the legendary honky-tonks—The Stage, Tootsie’s, and Honky Tonk Central—with one very important mission: get the bride on stage. Sash on. Crown secured. Mission accomplished. Watching her live her main-character moment with the band was a highlight we’ll never forget.

We wrapped up Broadway and headed to Printer’s Alley for dinner at Skull’s Rainbow Room, where the vintage vibes, live music, and moody atmosphere felt like stepping into another era. And because sleep is optional on a bachelorette weekend, we closed out the night with karaoke at Lonnie’s, belting out songs like we were headlining our own tour.

Sunday morning called for caffeine and calm, so we started at La La Land with coffee in hand before heading to 12 South for boutique shopping. Think cute storefronts, local finds, and the perfect last-minute souvenirs.

We fit in brunch at The Henry, a stylish and delicious final meal, then capped the afternoon with ice cream from Jeni’s—because every great trip deserves a sweet ending.

With bags packed and hearts full, we headed back to the airport, officially saying goodbye to Nashville, already talking about when we’d be back.
