Roll Call--Nashville 7/7/17

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

Make sure everyone gets there in time for Margo Price.

If anyone is coming to town and looking for some good spots:

BBQ:
Martins - best meat in town, imo. The Wings w/ Alabama Sauce are to die for.
Eldey's - best sides in town, imo. The grits, the greens and the baked beans are all amazing.
G'z BBQ - it's on the East Side, it's more of a hole in the wall, but great ribs, great pork shoulder.

Bars / Food (near venue):
Bar Sovereign - new(ish) bar. Kinda become a hot spot lately, but great spot for good cocktails. Lots of funky decorations / great music.
ACME Feed & Seed - kinda a tourist trap, but love their rooftop over the river. and it's right next to the venue.
Pinewood Social - bowling ally, cocktail lounge, dinner, outside pool all in one. Cool spot...you'll run up a bill, but always have a good time there.
Oak Bar in Hermitage Hotel - this place is for your whiskey / bourbon drinkers. Downtown, bottom of the hermitage. an amazing selection, an amazing bathroom and amazing service to top it off. 

Late Nite Eats:
- Dinos. This is a staple on the east side. A diner / bar - great fries, cold beer and great tunes.
- Hermitage Cafe - breakfast diner kinda downtown...nothing fancy, not even that good, but somehow I always end up here.
- Crying Wolf - serves up food till midnight. Tater tots, burgers, etc.

See ya'll here.

Thanks for all the tips!

We got a Martin's in Louisville a few months ago too! We go there more than we should. It was recommended to me and we ate there in Nashville a few times in the last few years. They make a great cheeseburger too if you're ever there and not feeling like BBQ.

Been a long time since I've been on the forum.  Do you guys still meet up pre show for drinks? 

Add me +1, I tried copying and pasting, didn't work.

According to the weather channel:
92 degrees at 6 PM
15% chance of Rain from 7-8 PM
45% chance of rain 9 PM- Midnight

there is no cover at this venue. so a hat or raincoat would be a good idea.

Can't wait!  Any early admission?

[DaydreamNation]

Had a scary few hours where I thought I wasn't going to make this show and had even tried to sell my ticket...but a wonderful friend came through with an assist so I'll see yall tomorrow! Don't think I'll make early entry so I'll be towards the back of the pit but that's A-OK with me!

Everyone have a great time tonight. Looking forward to reports, pics, and videos. I think is going to be a killer show.

Yeah I really love this venue!! I have been there for 2 nights of Widespread Panic and 2 nights of Phish but have never seen MMJ there! :) ! :)

so excited!

[DaydreamNation]

Odds of an OBH opener like the last time they were in Nashville?? 


Hell, if they just played the setlist from the 2015 Nashville show I'd be very happy. Wasn't there but wow looks like it was quite the set

It really depends on the kind of bar you're into, these are all pretty different. ACME has multiple levels, but is right on lower Broadway, the main touristy strip, and is always packed. Most bars on lower Broadway will be crowded and have some live music going on though. Where are you staying?

Post show drink:

If you want to go to Broadway and do the Honky Tonks...GO TO ROBERTS WESTERN WORLD! this is the crown jewel of Broadway. It shares the alley of The Ryman, and The Ryman's green room door is literally 5 steps from Roberts back door. This has made for many memorable nights at Roberts...I've seen Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, Willie Watson, J.D. Simo, etc all hop up on stage and do a song. It's one of the few places you'll catch locals at on Broadway.

If you want to get out of downtown, I'd head over to the East Side. This is more of your hipster area of town...lots of musicians live here, artists live here, young families.

Couple bars on the East Side:

Dukes (always spinning vinyl - cool hang - make grilled sammies late night)
Mickys (darts, pool, food next door - gets pretty packed on weekends)
Crying Wolf (pool, loud hipster bar, but good scene)
Urban Cowboy (google this...amazing outdoor area, fire pit, craft cocktails, all around cool hang)
Bar Rosemarry (new bar, in a craftsmen style home - never been, but heard it's rad)

If you want to just go to an area...tell your cab driver to "take you to 5 Points" and wonder around. theres an amazing pizza slice joint "5 Points Pizza", numerous bars, etc. you'll be able to find a spot you like.

[Zutroy]

Thanks for the tips on a good bar. I'm at the Sheraton in downtown so will probably stay in the downtown area. Am coming solo and flying in right before the show so won't have a chance to come to the meetup before.

Does the little  denote precipitation?

[LBSUNFLWR]

I try to go to 5 Points Pizza every time I go to Nashville. If they're open late that will be a good idea after the show.

We are driving from Louisville and driving back after the show! We've done it before, just easier than getting a hotel a dog sitter sometimes.

The 15% is precipitation chance. Yesterday it showed 45% so this is great news!
