Bourbon Steak on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott Hotel makes the best date night ever. Sweeping views of the city, delectable food, and hand-crafted cocktails. Reservations are a must, and if you request a window table in your reservations notes, they might make that happen! I highly recommend the filet mignon and the potato purée. It is unimaginably good. Not to mention the bathroom (or the women’s bathroom at least) which also has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. This is a place where you won’t feel overdressed… put on those heels and that dress you never get to wear!

Merchants (First Floor)

Merchants (First Floor Bistro) in downtown Nashville is right on the Honky Tonk Strip on Broadway. I like this place because while the honky tonks are fun and all, sometimes I need a break for some quality food and a nice cocktail. Merchants is the place for that. Make a reservation and go for dinner one night, you won’t regret it! If you’re visiting Nashville in the summertime, this is also a great place to cool off (they have air conditioning while most of the Honky Tonks do not). Their food is amazing: think tater tots, burgers, salmon, steak, deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, soup, salad, sandwiches… they have everything! Make sure to try one of their signature cocktails while you’re there! Depending on what day you’re there, you may need to make reservations. Merchants also has a separate upstairs dining area that’s open for dinner and has offerings like steak, salmon, and burgers.

Acme Feed & Seed

If you want some good food, need some air conditioning, want one of the best rooftop view of downtown, while still having that “Honky Tonk” feel, head to Acme at the end of the strip.

Locals hardly ever go to Broadway, but if we do, we go to Acme. Acme is at the end of the strip and feels a little more classy than the rest of the Honky Tonks (not hating, but I’ve been there done that). If you want some good food, need some air conditioning, want one of the best rooftop views of the strip, while still having that “Honky Tonk” feel, head to Acme. Acme has three levels of fun:

1st Floor

Live music, beer, cocktails, casual cuisine, and a small boutique where you can buy local goods.

2nd Floor

Lounge seating, group spaces, games, photo booth, sushi bar, and cocktails. With a ton of TVs , this place is awesome to watch a game!

3rd Floor

Climb all the way to the 3rd floor (or take the elevator) to get to the rooftop. Here you’ll find incredible views of Nissan Stadium, the river, and downtown. They serve drinks but no food, but you can bring your food up from the first or second floor and eat it up there. They usually have live music.
