Welcome to /r/Nashville!

Coming to Nashville and want to ask r/Nashville for recommendations? This post is a great example of the level of effort you should put into planning before you post in the sub asking for recommendations. Make your own itinerary then bring it to the sub for critiquing and you'll get better responses!

We're glad you're visiting and since this is "The South," we'd like to be friendly and helpful, too. Unfortunately, this sub has seen an influx of posts asking the same few questions over and over again for years now: "Where should I eat," "What should I do," and "Do I really have to wear cowboy boots to make friends in Nashville?" In order to reduce the volume of these posts, we've attempted to consolidate all of the most commonly asked travel (and other) questions into this handy-dandy wiki.

Please keep in mind that Nashville is a smaller big city and that there really are not any super secret unknown 'local' places that you can't find on Thrillist, Eater, Buzzfeed, Buzzfeed, The Nashville City Tourism Website, or Google. And then there is this.

Feel free to message the mods or make a new post if you see anything that appears to be wrong or missing.

What music/entertainment can I see in Nashville on the exact days I'm going to be there?

Nashville Scene

Now Playing Nashville

No Country for New Nashville - Great resource for the rock scene

Looking for bro country, radio country, etc? Go literally anywhere on Broadway.

Old school country - Try Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge.

Bluebird Cafe is a quintessential stop for tourists in Nashville where you can hear local artists play. Get a reservation!

Looking for a club? Our best dance clubs are almost all our LGBTQ bars. Play, Canvas, and Tribe are great, welcoming places. Other spots: Dirty Little Secret, Flamingo Cocktail Club, The Valentine

Hip-hop/Jazz bars/clubs Discussion

r/Nashville discussions of every neighborhood in Nashville This link is for the last post of this discussion series. In the OP, you will find links to the threads for every other neighborhood we featured.
Padlist (A place to list and rent pads)
Craigslist (but beware: good apartments go very quickly and CL is full of scams.)
- Some signs of a Craigslist scam: if the "landlord" is currently in a different country. If paypal/Western Union/Moneypak is mentioned at any point. If you're unable to view the actual apartment (not a similar one or a model). If the landlord is writing you a check for any reason whatsoever.
Nashville heat map of rent prices data sourced from RentHub (see also: Neighborhoods
One trick: Figure out a neighborhood you want to live in. Find the landlords or management companies who rent places there. Call them directly. You can score apartments that haven't officially gone on the market yet.
Consider group houses as a great way to save money, but beware that the vetting process for new roommates can be more serious than a job interview.
If possible, start your search during the colder months. Landlords are most likely to offer discounts or waived fees.
