The Stillery
Ah, The Stillery. One of my standbys. You can always be sure you’ll have good food, good service, and a good time at either location.
Ah, The Stillery. One of my standbys. You can always be sure you’ll have good food, good service, and a good time at either location. Speaking of location, there are two: one downtown and one in midtown. Let’s go over the differences and similarities of each.
Downtown Location:
Right beside the Honky Tonks and tourist attractions
Make reservations
Live music upstairs on Friday & Saturday (request this in your reservation notes if you’d like to hear live music)
No brunch
Midtown Location:
In its own fun neighborhood near other bars and restaurants but a mile from the Honky Tonks
First come, first served
Brunch on Saturday and Sunday
Live music on Saturday, sometimes on Friday
As for the food, you can’t go wrong with anything. I love the soft pretzels, cheese bread, the Strawberry Gorgonzola salad, and my husband loves the pizzas.

Anzie Blue
Anzie Blue in Hillsboro Village is a cute, picture-perfect place to get a coffee or cocktail with your bestie.
Anzie Blue in Hillsboro Village is a cute, picture-perfect place to get a coffee or cocktail with your bestie. Every time I go there, it’s pretty packed, and mostly with young women and their friends. It’s a coffee shop that serves delicious breakfast (my favorite is the “Good Morning Bowl” (cheese grits, sausage, eggs, spinach, tomato) but they’re also known for their CBD oil (you can put it in any drink), cheese plates, cocktails, dinner, lunch… what don’t they have?

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.
Me, my sister-in-law, and my sister on the rooftop at Acme.
Beautiful Broadway view from the rooftop at Acme.

Rudy's Jazz Room
Cocktails and jazz in a low-lit basement… so cool!
*Note: As of right now, Rudy’s Jazz Room is temporarily closed due to COVID-19. Check their website for updates.
We stumbled into Rudy’s Jazz Room accidentally one night and had such a fun time. It was packed! We were lucky to grab a ticket and a seat at the bar. Cocktails and jazz in a low-lit basement… so cool! From what I know, sometimes there are covers and sometimes there aren’t. You can check on their website which band is playing and if you need to bring cash.
