THINGS TO DO
DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE

Things to do in Nashville downtown

Things to do in Nashville downtown, from this block, are a short walk: a tasting, a museum, a show, or a meal that is not a Broadway bar. The room is at 425 Church Street. The walk-in Whiskey Flight from the Barrel is $35, four pours at the bar. A Xola booking holds a time if you want one. The Premium Tasting ($50) is guide-led. The chocolate pairing ($40) is booked online. The rest of the menu is on tours.

Walking minutes from 425 Church Street

Every line is a street route measured on November 5, 2026, from 425 Church Street. Minutes are that distance at a 3 mph walk, rounded to the nearest minute. They do not include time stopped at lights. The public routing clock on that same route reported driving speeds, so it was not used.

Printers Alley is the historic block between 3rd and 4th Avenues North. The map and the bars are on that page. This table does not give a walking time for Nissan Stadium. The stadium is across the river.

Things to do in Nashville at night

Things to do in Nashville at night, from this room, have to fit the tasting-room clock. Taste first. Downtown closes at 7pm Monday through Thursday, 8pm Friday and Saturday, and 5pm Sunday, which is earlier than the bars.

After the flight, the night stops within the walks above are a Ryman show (about 4 minutes), a Bridgestone Arena event (about 7 minutes), and the Schermerhorn (about 7 minutes). Printers Alley is the nightclub block, about 2 minutes, a short walk. Broadway after dark is the honky-tonk strip. The bar crawl is the Broadway bar crawl, and the blocks next to the strip are things to do near Broadway. This page does not list those bars.

Date night, as a plan for two, stays on Nashville date night ideas.

Things to do in Nashville besides bars

Things to do in Nashville besides bars, still downtown, are the museums and the rooms that are not a honky-tonk. From 425 Church Street:

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is about 9 minutes, at 222 Rep. John Lewis Way South. The National Museum of African American Music is about 4 minutes, at 510 Broadway. The Johnny Cash Museum is about 8 minutes, at 119 3rd Avenue South. The Frist Art Museum is about 13 minutes, at 919 Broadway. The Tennessee State Capitol is about 15 minutes. The Tennessee State Museum, at 1000 Rosa L. Parks Boulevard by Bicentennial Capitol Mall, is about 24 minutes. Assembly Food Hall, on Rep. John Lewis Way North, is about 3 minutes when you want a meal under one roof. The Schermerhorn is the concert hall, about 7 minutes.

The 21+ stop that is not a bar crawl is the tasting at 425 Church Street. A statewide distillery drive, if that is the day instead, is the Tennessee Whiskey Trail.

When the tasting is at distillery HQ

The walking table is downtown only. If you want the same tastings with free parking, distillery HQ is 222 Fesslers Lane, Nashville, TN 37210, about 2 miles from downtown, 8–10 minutes by car. Hours there are Mon–Fri 9am–6pm, Sat 10am–6pm, Sun 10am–5pm. Blend Your Own Whiskey ($200, bottle included) and the Single Barrel Experience ($150, a tasting with a bottle, not a barrel purchase) run at HQ as well as downtown. Book those on tours. Downtown Single Barrel uses a separate checkout, linked from that page.
