Germantown

Neighborhoods

Jul 16

This historic neighborhood close to downtown has mimosas as big as your head and award-winning restaurants at every turn.

Distance from Downtown: 1.2 miles/8-min drive or scooter
The Vibe: Historic meets new. Germantown dates back to 1786 when mostly German immigrants moved to this part of town; however, you’ll also find new apartment buildings, the massive Nashville Sounds baseball stadium, and award-winning restaurants. There are a number of Black-owned businesses to support in this neighborhood, too: Germantown Pub, Slim & Husky’s, and EG & MC Cocktail Bar.

Geist

Geist in Germantown is a great spot to get brunch with the girls or a romantic dinner option.

Jacqueline

The Optimist’s new outdoor bar, “Jacqueline” has ample seating, delicious cocktails, and seafood apps for you to enjoy while you soak up the sun.

Sonny's Patio Pub & Refuge

Sit on the patio and order some mimosa flights and “Good Mood Food” like pretzel bites with cheese and mustard at Sonny’s in Germantown.

O-Ku Sushi

O-ku in Germantown is the perfect place for sake, edamame, miso soup, and specialty sushi rolls.

The Optimist

The Optimist in Germantown is a must-try. From the cocktails, to the service, to the seafood, to the Beignet Hushpuppies served with cane syrup butter… everything here is perfection.

Von Elrod's Beer Hall & Kitchen

Grab a pint of beer or mimosa as big as your head, chow down on a huge homemade pretzel, or go full German and get a bratwurst. I personally love coming here for brunch.
