When visiting Nashville, you’re probably spending the majority of your time Downtown. Most travelers visit over the weekend, so brunch is probably at the top of the list. Whether you’re in the mood for a brunch that is casual, upscale, true to Music City (live music), or elevated on a rooftop, there’s a spot for you. Here are Nashville Guru’s top brunch spots Downtown.
We always recommend getting a reservation, if possible. Places in Nashville fill up quickly, especially on the weekends for brunch.
The Best Brunch Spots IN Downtown NASHVILLE
Brunch in Downtown Nashville with Live Music
If more live music is what you’re craving, there’s a good chance you’ll end up at one of the same honky-tonks you partied at the night before. However, a lot of honky-tonks don’t have designated brunch programs. The ones that do are Acme Feed & Seed, Tin Roof, and Twelve Thirty Club’s Honky Tonk. If you want a different Nashville vibe, check out Live Jazz Brunch at Skull’s Rainbow Room’s or The Listening Room’s brunch. All six of these options will provide live music, a vibrant atmosphere, and tasty dishes.
