The Gulch
The twenty-something crowd gathers here to get a cocktail on a rooftop bar, take pictures next to the murals, and eat at the trendy restaurants.
Distance from Downtown: 1 mile/6-min drive or scooter
The Vibe: A mix of locals and tourists gather here for great restaurants and shopping; it’s really close to downtown, so an awesome spot to visit if you've done the downtown scene before.
Go with a Guinness and some wings or order some red wine and the salmon… there’s no wrong way to do it!
The Chef and I offers “innovative cuisine in a fun environment.” I love it because they serve brunch EVERY DAY from 10:30-2; it’s a great place to grab Bottomless Mimosas or a Brunch Mimosa Bucket.
Biscuit Love is just what it sounds like… southern biscuits and one of the best breakfasts you can get in Nashville.
The Mockingbird in the Gulch is a great place for brunch with the girls or date night! Their famous “Punchin’ Bag” is a hibiscus lemon punch with your choice of booze served in a bag!
Barista Parlor is a modern, bright, and minimalist-styled coffee shop if you need some caffeine, breakfast, or a spot to get some work done.
In the mood for some amazing Tex-Mex in one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods? Superica is the place! Great for a date night or a girls’ night out.
