If you are over the burgers and fried chicken, head on over to 12 South for a stroll and stop in at Epice. This Lebanese bistro makes THE BEST lentil soup with lemon - perfect if you had a little too much fun the night before.

Potentially my favorite restaurant in Nashville. A little pricier and I would recommend reservations. Always love grabbing a seat at the bar too. Live jazz music starts at 7:30pm daily and Burlesque at 11pm on Fridays & Saturdays. Get there early to save yourself some standing room for the Burlesque show - usually a cover charge at the door

Late night spot pretty famous for celeb sightings. A double wide trailer turned karaoke bar where it is always Christmas and the owner looks like Santa. Bring your cash and your love for cheap beer. Beware - you can smoke in here and everyone in Nashville can sing like a Disney princess.
