A guide to Nashville’s bachelorette scene

From angel wings to fun phrases, these Nashville backdrops beg for a boozy photoshoot. Finish your glass, freshen your lipstick, and strike a pose, ladies.

- Nashville Biggest & Wildest Party Public Tractor Tour (Ages 21+)1,629Climb aboard a funky tractor decked out in rainbow lights for a wild ride down Lower Broadway, complete with a cash bar. Put on those sequin cowboy hats and wave at the onlookers like the beauty queens you are. The Nashville Tractor Party is perfect for bridal parties in search of silly sassiness.
- Prince's Hot Chicken South133Treat your girls to a taste of the original Nashville hot chicken. Order the three-wing basket with fries, and don’t miss the additional sides like baked beans, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw, sold à la carte. But a heads up: Prince’s doesn’t play around with its spice levels.
- Nearest Green Distillery280Take a 45-minute road trip from downtown Nashville to visit Uncle Nearest Distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee, known for its award-winning whiskey and cool history (it’s inspired by the first known African-American master distiller). Check out the 100-foot-long bar and order the 1856 Premium Whiskey for a smooth taste with hints of caramel and oak. Or get crazy with the 114.2 proof Master Blend—it’s so strong it’ll put hair on your chest.
- Rare Bird2Imagine sipping bubbles and doing bumps of caviar 15 stories high at Rare Bird’s penthouse patio, with mod couches galore for lounging. Is your flock more of a cocktail gang? Order the Punch of Roses, a massive communal drink that will fuel the whole crew.
- L27 Rooftop Lounge73Head over to L27, the rooftop bar at the Westin Hotel, where the skyline views of downtown Nashville will blow you away. Enjoy shareables like truffled grits risotto, grilled octopus, hot chicken sliders, and a cheese board that’s to die for.
- Greenhouse Bar2If rooftops aren’t your thing, there’s a gorgeous courtyard hangout at the Sanctuary Hotel’s GreenHouse Bar that’s filled with plants and serving up botanical-inspired drinks like a rose- and jasmine-infused gin and tonic with St. Elder liqueur. Trust me, y’all—no matter where you go, Nashville brings the heat for a good time.
- The Hermitage Hotel81I take my bachelorette party responsibilities very seriously. Only the best hotels in Nashville will do. I’m talking posh presidential suites at The Hermitage Hotel, with gorgeous French decorative flair and fancy soaking tubs for days.
- Dream Nashville925Glam it up at the Dream Hotel, where the disco-fabulous rooms have plush beds and glittering city views. Order champagne on ice and don’t forget to bring fuzzy PJs, face masks, and ring pops to help celebrate the bride-to-be. Plus, the Dream is within steps of the action, totally Instagrammable, and sure to create a weekend to remember.
- Bobby Hotel1,031For killer views and luxury vibes, head to The Bobby Hotel. Splash out on the sprawling two-bedroom suite, with a private balcony and plenty of space for you and the girls to unwind. Then hit the rooftop bar, where there’s a 1956 Scenicruiser bus, a pool for warm days, and in winter, a pop-up bar called Camp Bobby, where you can rent a vintage-inspired decorated igloo and toast the bride with campground-inspired drinks and bites.
