Visit The Heart of Nashville’s Hipster Scene
The East Nashville neighborhood is hands-down the most hipster-friendly borough in the city. East Nashville is a hotspot for young locals trying to make it big in Music City, as well as those who enjoy diverse, underground shows, great food, and cheap drinks. It’s the place to be if you’re looking to see Nashville through the eyes of a hipster! Here are the best spots to check out during your stay.
Village Pub
One of the best hipster bars in Nashville is Village Pub. Here, you will discover a cozy log cabin setting and wrap-around porch perfect for al fresco dining and drinking. You’ll find that Southern craft beer pairs well with some delicious house-made pretzels! For something a little different, try the stuffed pretzel sandwich.
The Pharmacy
Move over, Husk: The Pharmacy, despite its sterile-sounding name, serves up some of the best food and beverages in East Nashville. Check out the incredible selection of craft beer and pure cane sugar sodas. Make sure to try a Tennessee-raised beef burger with handcrafted condiments at The Pharmacy, one of Nashville’s hipster restaurants!
Old Made Good
In addition to visiting East Nashville’s restaurants and bars, you’ll want to pop in Old Made Good, a Music City thrift store reimagined. Find needlepoint pieces, handmade jewelry, and much more in this quirky shop.
Barista Parlor Nashville
What’s a Nashville hipster scene list without at least one local coffee shop? Our favorite is Barista Parlor in East Nashville. Walk inside and see the giant garage doors that allow for an open-air vibe. Sit on reclaimed wood bar stools and sip on an Instagram-worthy, handcrafted latte. What could be finer?
Pinewood Social
Pinewood Social is one of the trendiest hangout spots in all of Nashville. Whether you are trying to work remotely and need a latte for an afternoon pick-me-up, or you want to hang out with friends at the pool or the bowling alley, Pinewood Social is the best spot.
Mercy Lounge
Everyone knows about Nashville’s vibrant music scene, but if you’re trying to move away from the country music crowds at the popular honky–tonks, try Mercy Lounge. This hipster hot spot is on Cannery Row, a mecca for indie-rock music lovers! The rustic atmosphere is perfect for a night of live music and good vibes.
