Group activities in Nashville
Nashville is built for groups. Lower Broadway has live music from late morning to late night, the food scene runs from hot chicken to whole-hog barbecue, and there's a whole industry of party vehicles designed to move a crowd from one bar to the next. It's the default bachelorette city for a reason, but it works just as well for birthdays and team trips.

Plan by occasion
Tailored picks for what you’re celebrating in Nashville.
Bachelorette
Nashville is the bachelorette capital of the country, and the city has leaned into it.
Bachelor Party
A Nashville bachelor party works best as a mix of daytime activity and Broadway at night.
Birthday
For a group birthday, Nashville gives you live music every night and enough daytime options to keep everyone busy.
Team Outing
Nashville is an easy city for a team outing: walkable downtown, plenty of private-booking options, and activities that don't revolve entirely around drinking.

Pedal tavern ride
A pedal-powered party bike that rolls through downtown or Midtown with a driver steering while your group pedals. It's loud, slow, and exactly what most Nashville groups come for.
Open-air party wagon or bus
Nashville has a fleet of open-air party vehicles, from converted tractors to party buses, that loop through downtown with music and a host. Good for groups who want the party-bike energy without the pedaling.
Honky-tonk crawl on Lower Broadway
The bars on Lower Broadway run live music across multiple floors, most with no cover during the day. A guided crawl handles the route; doing it yourself costs nothing but drinks and tips for the bands.
Hot chicken and food tour
A walking food tour covers Nashville hot chicken plus a few other local staples in one afternoon. It's a good way to feed a group without arguing over one restaurant.
Line dancing lesson
A private line dancing lesson before a night on Broadway means your group actually knows the steps when the band plays. Easy to book for a group and good for people who don't normally dance.
Songwriter round
Nashville's songwriter rounds put writers on stage trading songs and the stories behind them. The Bluebird Cafe is the famous one; there are several other venues running rounds most nights.
Ryman Auditorium tour or show
The Ryman is one of the most famous music venues in the country. The daytime tour covers its history; an evening show is the better experience if the calendar lines up.
Grand Ole Opry
The long-running country music radio show, performed live with multiple artists in one night. A solid group night out that works for people who aren't country fans too.
Whiskey distillery tour
Nashville has distilleries in the city, and Jack Daniel's in Lynchburg is about a 90-minute drive. Tours end with tastings and work well as a daytime anchor.
Country Music Hall of Fame
A large, well-run museum covering country music history. An easy indoor option for a team or a rainy afternoon.
