Like finding a menu without a spin on hot chicken, or a Music City street without a scooter — the likelihood of being downtown without seeing a bachelorette party is nearly impossible in new Nashville.

With embracing all of the above in mind, Eater Nashville presents (after some admitted dread) an updated handy, honest, yet still decidedly mural-free guide offering up some of the best of the city’s spots to suit a bevy of bachelorettes.

So, if you’re currently on a Nashville-bound plane sneaking mini bottles of vodka into that club soda you ordered and just remembered those maid of honor duties to book dinner. If you’re getting hitched in May and have already ordered those blush pink tanks with something like “Nash trashed bash” printed on them. Or, if you’re hungover and need some hair of the dog and/or want to attempt to try to wash away the Broadway stench with mimosas and yes, hot chicken biscuits — this ultimate bachelorette party guide to eating and drinking in Nashville is for you.

Is there a must-add pre-wedding fling-before-the-ring stop that a bachelorette party absolutely should not miss? Be sure to drop it in the comments.

The Loveless Cafe

Many a bachelorette party heads southwest of town to prep for a night out (or recover from an evening in the rolling party hot tub) by cramming carbs at Nashville’s long-loved biscuit destination. At the Loveless Cafe, country ham and fried chicken-topped waffles reward those who brave the line — a decidedly more stomach-satisfying reward than the Instagram photo of the group with the wings that no one in the bachelorette party is happy with.

It’s a solid bet you’ve already got the Graduate’s Dolly-themed Barbie dreamhouse of a rooftop on your to-do list. Plan ahead by booking that reservation well in advance — as they book up, especially for a seat outside or a time slot at the pool. Be sure and try the champagne Jell-o shots — they taste as good as they look.

M Street’s Midtown mainstay’s menu offers cream cheese-drizzled red velvet waffles, cheddar cheese biscuits, and a group-friendly maple fondue for dipping. And of course Becky, there are mimosas, blood marys, and rosé. The good for groups brunch destination is typically walk-in only, but they do accept “first seating” early brunch reservations for groups of 6-8 on weekends. Early dinner reservations are also available, plus options for groups of 20 or more (just call the restaurant with plenty of warning).
