You mean she's hanging out at Bonnaroo.

Nashville is full of all kinds of great restaurants, and different types of music not just country music. But it sounds like that's what she's looking for. She should go to Robert's Western world. It's the original, and if I were to ever go to a honky tonk, that's where I go. We've been here for six generations and have managed to avoid those things so, I guess it'll never happen. I've certainly heard enough people say Robert's Western world is the place to go.

The Bluebird Cafe

Redhead Stranger

@rob333 (zone 7b) are you in the area? Im in East TN.

I'm as Nashville as you get. I don't think she'd have fun at the Bluebird. It is a rare experience, but all you can do is be super quiet? Sshhh. It was annoying when I went. Once. Have several friends who are producers and such.

I agree with Rob’s suggestion. Another would be Acme Feed & Seed. They do have live music. We have not eaten there but Jason Alden’s place looks like fun. And Hattie B’s Hot Chicken on Lower Broadway.

Hmmm I guess I am too old! It's been some years since we went, but we enjoyed it. I guess it would depend on how into country music you are too. We were in the Nashville area last year, but it's too big city for us - we stay in Leiper's Fork which I love! That general store in that area, Pucketts? sometimes has some good singers. We also stayed in the last year or so at Montgomery Bell State Park. Haha, I guess our entertainment is more "sedate"! Good to have a fellow Tennesseean posting. : )

We ate at Acme Feed & Seed, and it was fun.

Thank you. Yes, Bonnaroo is where they're headed. I keep forgetting that name. Robert's WW sounds like what they're looking for. She said they don't care if it's touristy because they're tourists!

For breakfast the next morning, Fido (21st Ave) - great for coffee and people watching - or the Pancake Pantry (also 21st Ave) which I’ve never been in because the line is always too long!

Don't go to Pancake Pantry; they're just pancakes. Fido is good. So is Ruby Sunshine. All in the same spot.

They will have fun at Acme Feed and Seed, and it's right there on Lower Broad.

Waving hello to my fellow Tennesseans!

I’m actually in north Alabama but close enough to Tennessee, we hit Nashville frequently. In fact going again next week to Amos Lee’s concert at the Ryman. And we are not young either.

Puckett’s is a pretty good bbq spot but i think the young people would enjoy the other places more. And yeah, drop into Tootsie’s if they have time.

There are two things to know about Tootsie's, she is the reason so many many MANY country artists made it. She gave them places to stay, money, hooked them up with the right contacts... she is country music's backbone. Also, the story goes, the color of the place is because she asked some painter to paint it when she was out of town and he mixed together all the paint he had to get the job done! At least, that's the legend. Her story is for real.

My daughter texted me last night to say they had decided on Tootsie's for their first night. I haven't heard back from her today, but I'll let you know what they thought.
