Nashville is famous for its vibrant music scene, rich history, and Southern hospitality. Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, you’ll find plenty of experiences to make your trip memorable. From live music and top-tier dining to team-building activities and coworking spaces, here’s your ultimate guide to exploring the best of Nashville.

Food & Drink

A visit to Nashville isn’t complete without indulging in some classic comfort food. And, of course, no culinary tour of Music City would be complete without Nashville Hot Chicken. If you’re craving something crispy, spicy, and packed with flavor, head to Hattie B’s. With a compelling backstory and a reputation that’s grown into a five-state phenomenon, it’s a must-visit for food lovers.

Looking for something less fiery but equally satisfying? M.L.Rose is a fantastic spot for craft burgers and an extensive beer selection, featuring over 80 brews to choose from. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a busy day exploring or working in the city.

If you’re working remotely from Apt CoWork at The Melrose, convenience is key. That’s where Pancho & Lefty’s Cantina comes in. Located right nearby, this cantina serves up a delicious blend of Mexican and Southern flavors—ideal for a quick lunch or dinner without interrupting your workflow. Plus, you can bring your meal back into the coworking space and keep productivity flowing.

Live Music

Music and Nashville go hand in hand, so whether you’re looking for an intimate acoustic set or a full-on concert, you won’t be disappointed.

For a laid-back vibe and incredible up-and-coming artists, Loser’s Midtown is the place to be. Powered by Riley Green’s Duck Blind, this spot delivers daily live performances and—if you’re lucky—you might even see Riley Green himself drop by.

If Loser’s isn’t your style, just walk over to The Original Tin Roof for another round of live music, drinks, and classic bar food. It’s a great option for a casual team outing after a conference or coworking session at Apt CoWork. Need more space? You can even rent out their event venue for larger groups.

For a family-friendly, outdoor concert experience, Musicians Corner is a must. This free music festival takes place every weekend in the spring and fall, featuring live performances, food trucks, and even play areas for kids.

Group Activities & Experiences

Beyond food and music, Nashville offers an array of unique group experiences—perfect for coworkers, friends, and families alike.

Want to step into the shoes of a recording artist? Nashville Studio Experiences lets you and your group record music and learn about the creative process behind hit songs. It’s a fantastic option for team-building events or just a fun outing with friends.

If you’d rather explore Nashville’s musical history without singing into a mic, check out The Gig at Belmont. This interactive museum showcases rare and limited-edition guitars dating back to the early 1900s, offering a deep dive into the legacy of Music City.

For sports fans, Nashville is home to professional football, hockey, and baseball teams. If racing is more your speed, visit the Nashville Superspeedway for a dose of NASCAR excitement.

For corporate team-building, mix work and play with Apt CoWork at The Melrose for your work needs and The Escape Game for an immersive problem-solving challenge that brings teams together.
