Planning Your Nashville Bachelorette Party
Planning your Nashville, TN, bachelorette party is all about hitting that sweet spot between great weather and fantastic vibes. Late spring, summer, or early fall? Those are the perfect times to explore the city–sunny days with temps starting in the low 70s, peaking at the 90s in July, then cooling down to those comfortable 70s by October.
Now, let’s talk cash. On average, you’ll want about $516 per person for a three-day adventure. This covers your stay, eats, sights, and getting around. And getting there’s pretty easy, too. Just jet into BNA, located a quick eight miles east of downtown Nashville.
Themes? Think about a Honky Tonk hoedown, a rooftop brunch bash, or even a Dolly Parton-themed extravaganza.
Here’s the scoop from our expert, Adriel: “Why is Nashville a great place to have a bachelorette party? Why not Nashville?! It’s THE place to be for all Bachelorette parties! You can let loose on Broadway at a Honky Tonk or soak up the sun at brunch on a rooftop. Nashville has amazing restaurants, spas, and the cutest AirBnB’s made just for Bachelorette parties (including a few Dolly Parton-themed homes!).”
Where to Stay for a Nashville Bachelorette Party
When it comes to catching those Zs in Nashville, our experts have the inside scoop on the coziest spots in town. Emily recommends the Thompson Hotel for those seeking a luxe sleepover experience or wanting to capitalize on their Hyatt loyalty points. Its chic vibe and stunning city views make it a top pick. We also recommend the Graduate. It’s undeniably Nashville and we know you’ll love it!
But if a house rental is more your style, she recommends the 12th South or East Nashville area. Picture charming homes and a neighborhood vibe that’s hard to beat. Adriel’s not skipping a beat, suggesting The Mint House at the Reserve for an exclusive stay. It’s a slice of luxury with a personal touch, perfect for making your bachelorette party in Nashville feel extra special.
Time to Eat: Nashville Bachelorette Style
Nashville’s dining scene does not disappoint for a bach bash. Think comfort food and sweet honey-laced delights, ready to satisfy every craving from dawn till dusk. Start your day with a bang at Milk and Honey, where brunch is an art form and the morning’s first meal takes a deliciously decadent turn.
When lunch rolls around, enjoy gourmet burgers with your besties at Burger Up or soak in the vibes and views from The Hampton Social’s new rooftop terrace. For a taste of Nashville’s fiery spirit, Slow Burn Hot Chicken and Scoreboard Bar & Grill serve up the heat in a way that’s not to be missed.
When evening falls, Husk ups the bachelorette celebration with the fancy dinner scene and its innovative Southern cuisine. Taqueria Del Sol offers a casual dinner option with flair.
Don’t forget to catch the Biscuit Love food trucks in Gulch and Hillsboro Village, where the combination of comfort food and honey will make you return for more.

The Best Cocktails in Music City
What Nashville bachelorette weekend would be complete without some bar hopping to try all of the favorite local concoctions? Consider a party bus with Upstage Party Bus or Ultimate Party Bus to get you from place to place safely. Then, make your way to popular destinations for beer, wine, and everything in between at local favorites such as LA Jackson for cocktails or Bastion for the dive bar vibe.
Adriel says “Any rooftop with a view makes the drinks taste amazing!” And in Nashville, there is no shortage of rooftop bars. Add lou/na, Denim, and White Limozeen to your Nashville bachelorette party itinerary.
Nightlife and Dancing for a Nashville Bachelorette
Nashville’s nightlife is where live music, line dancing, and plenty of fun come together. Cowgirls, grab your cowboy boots, grab the hand of a willing cowboy, and hit the dance floor at some of the city’s legendary venues.
Tootsies Orchid Lounge sets the stage with amazing live performances. Over at Nudie’s Honky Tonk, the music never stops, and the atmosphere is electric. AJ’s Good Time Bar, founded by country star Alan Jackson, offers a mix of tunes and good vibes.

Daytime Fun in Nashville for Bachelorettes

If you and your gal pals are into wine tastings, head over to Arrington Vineyards. Be sure to check their website in advance for special events and hours. Want another winery for your Nashville bachelorette party weekend itinerary? Visit Amber Falls Winery Nashville or Belle Meade Winery.
Cruises are another popular pastime to pass the day away. Check out the General Jackson Showboat and the Pontoon Saloon – Nashville Party Cruise.
