Planning a Nashville bachelorette party or girls trip to Nashville? You’ve come to the right place. I’m Christine, a Nashville local who’s spent the last decade showing people around my city, hosting Nashville walking tours, and sharing the insider local spots that make a trip unforgettable. I know where to go for the best rooftop views, which Nashville tours are worth the money, and how to get into that one speakeasy without waiting in line.
The beauty of Nashville is that you can create exactly the kind of trip you want. Maybe that’s a big, glittery, boots-on-Broadway party weekend. Maybe it’s a more elevated mix of craft cocktails, boutique shopping, and live jazz. Most Nashville bachelorette parties and girls weekends in Nashville fall somewhere in between, a little rowdy, a little classy, and a whole lot of fun.
In this guide, I’m walking you through the best bachelorette party ideas from experiences, tours, hotels, nightlife, photo ops, and group-friendly spots. Everything here is something I’ve done, hosted, or sent friends to, and I’ve linked directly to the experiences so you can book them easily.
Daytime Fun for Your Nashville, TN Bachelorette Party or Girls Trip to Nashville
Daytime is prime time for making those core trip memories, the ones you’ll laugh about in group chats for years. Here’s where to start.
Downtown Nashville Food Tour - My #1 Recommendation
If you only do one structured activity during your Nashville bachelorette weekend, make it the Downtown Nashville Food Tour. This is my Nashville tour, so you know you’re getting the best of the best. We visit locally-owned restaurants you’d probably never stumble upon, taste dishes that represent Nashville’s food scene at its finest, listen to live music, and sip a local beer and 2 cocktails along the way.
The pacing is relaxed so you can actually enjoy your food (no scarfing down a taco while running to the next spot), and the storytelling brings the city to life in a way that’s perfect for first-time visitors. Plus, my guides and I know the chefs, bartenders, and owners personally, which means you’ll feel like a VIP at every stop.
Why it’s perfect for Nashville bachelorettes:
All-inclusive: food, drinks, history, and entertainment in one
Relaxed pace, time to chat, take photos, and bond as a group
We handle all the planning and reservations
Unique insider access to Nashville’s dining scene
Christine’s Insider Tip: If you’re arriving Friday, book this for Saturday lunch. You’ll get your bearings, find favorite spots to come back to, and still have plenty of time to get ready for a big night out.
Murals & Mimosas Tour
No Nashville bachelorette itinerary is complete without a little photo glam, and this one takes care of all the logistics. The Murals & Mimosas Tour takes you to the city’s most Instagram-famous walls, plus a few lesser-known spots that make your feed stand out. The guides know the best angles, where the light is flattering, and how to manage a whole group’s photos quickly.
After snapping away, you’ll finish with mimosas and light bites, the perfect mix of sightseeing and celebrating. It’s relaxed, social, and a great way to get those group shots in early so you can stop worrying about them.
Why Nashville bachelorettes parties love it:
Built-in Instagram content
Professional-level group photo ops without hiring a photographer
Fun mix of sightseeing and sipping
Leaves your afternoon free for more adventures
Christine’s Insider Tip: Coordinate outfits for this one - white for the bride, matching colors for the group, or even cowboy boots or hats for that Nashville touch.
Music City Brew Hop
If your group loves a laid-back afternoon with great drinks, the Music City Brew Hop is my go-to recommendation. This hop-on, hop-off trolley stops at 7 different local breweries in Nashville. You choose where to get off, sample a beer (or flight), and hop back on when you’re ready for the next stop.
It’s social, flexible, and requires zero planning once you’re on board. You can visit four to six breweries in one day without ever calling a rideshare.
If someone in your group doesn’t like beer, no worries, there is a meadery featured, and plus most breweries also serve seltzer, cider, and other gluten free and approachable options these days.
Why it works for Nashville girls trips:
Total freedom to create your own schedule
No transportation headaches
A fun mix of breweries, from cozy taprooms to lively beer gardens
You can skip the beer and drink ciders, seltzers, and meads
Christine’s Insider Tip: Start early (trolley starts at noon) and you’ll have time to enjoy the artsy vibe, murals, and smaller breweries of East Nashville. It’s unique and bachelorette-friendly.
Nashville Shopping Tour by Golf Cart
If you want to see Nashville without walking miles in heels, these private golf cart shopping tours are a lifesaver. This shopping tour takes you to local boutiques and hidden gems. The guides make it feel effortless.
These tours in Nashville are perfect for the second day of your trip when you’re a little slower-moving but still want to see the city. You can cover a ton of ground and still be back at your hotel in time for a nap before going out again.
Why it’s a fun thing to do with women in Nashville:
Private group feel without paying limo prices
Customizable routes for your vibe
Built-in local recommendations from your guide
Christine’s Insider Tip: For shopping tours, tell your driver you want a mix of boutiques and vintage. You’ll come home with one-of-a-kind finds.

Unique Nashville Bachelorette Party Ideas
Private Nashville Lingerie Party at Darlin’ Lingerie
If you want to surprise the bride with something totally unique, and a little bit spicy, a Private Lingerie Party at Darlin’ Lingerie is one of my favorite Nashville bachelorette party ideas in Nashville. This Germantown gem has been written up in Goop, featured in national fashion magazines, and has won multiple awards for both style and customer experience. The shop itself is gorgeous: think warm lighting, beautiful displays, and a curated selection of lingerie that feels more Parisian boutique than mall store.
Owner Katie is phenomenal, she has a gift for making everyone in the group feel comfortable and confident, whether they’ve been shopping for lingerie for years or have never set foot in a boutique before. You’ll get professional fittings, plenty of private try-on time, and lots of laughs as the group cheers each other on.
You can bring your own champagne or cocktails (Katie will keep them perfectly chilled for you), and she’ll make sure the whole evening feels like a private celebration. The best part? It’s only $15 to reserve your private try-on session which is an absolute steal for a memory you’ll all be talking about long after the trip. Parties usually start at 5:15 or 5:30 PM after the shop closes, making it the perfect pre-dinner or pre-going-out activity.
Why it’s perfect for Nashville, TN bachelorettes and Nashville girls trips:
Award-winning boutique experience
Goop-approved and nationally recognized
Professional fittings that make everyone feel amazing
BYO bubbly - Katie keeps it chilled for you
Private, fun, and only $15 to book
Christine’s Insider Tip: Plan dinner nearby after your session - Germantown has some of my favorite restaurants in the city, and you’ll already be in the neighborhood looking fabulous. Henrietta Red is one of my favorites, they take group reservations, and its right next door to Darlin Lingerie.
Enjoy Our Beautiful Nashville Weather on A Pontoon Party Cruise
If your group wants sunshine, music, and a floating party with skyline views, the Pontoon Party Cruise is a Nashville classic for a reason. This open-air pontoon boat turns the Cumberland River into your own private party zone, complete with a DJ, dance floor, and nonstop good vibes. You’ll cruise past downtown Nashville while dancing, sipping drinks, and soaking up the energy of the city from the water. This is one of my absolute favorite Nashville Girls Trip activites.
The atmosphere is fun, social, and carefree. Everyone’s there for the same reason: to celebrate, dance, and enjoy being on the water. It’s the kind of experience where strangers become hype squads and your group ends the cruise with inside jokes and sore cheeks from laughing.
Why it’s perfect for bachelorettes and girls trips to Nashville:
A floating dance party with a DJ and open-air views
Perfect mix of sunshine, music, and celebration
Easy, social vibe that gets everyone involved
Iconic Nashville experience with zero planning stress
Christine’s Insider Tip: This is best booked for a daytime slot earlier in the weekend. Pair it with brunch before or Broadway after for a full, unforgettable day.
The Pontoon Party Cruise is one of my favorite warm-weather activities in Nashville. Even after eight years of running tours, I still book one for friends every summer.
Create Your OWN Custom Face Oil Bar at Lemon Laine
For a more elevated Nashville girls trip experience, head to Lemon Laine and create your own custom face oil. You’ll sip wine, learn about natural skincare, and leave with a beautiful product that’s tailored to your skin type.
It’s perfect for brides in their later 20’s and 30’s, skincare lovers, or any group that wants a relaxed afternoon with a luxe twist.
Christine’s Insider Tip: Book early afternoon and then head to a wine bar or grab dinner nearby - the 5 Spot area has great hidden gems. My foodie guide to East Nashville and full things to do in East Nashville posts will help you plan the perfect day.

This is pure, high-energy fun: you bring your own drinks and curated playlist, they bring the rolling bar and sound system. The bike seats up to 15 and has room to dance, sing, and laugh your way through the streets of downtown. Once you are on Broadway, you’ll see that pedal taverns are iconic in Nashville, and they book fast!
It’s impossible to ride one of these without attracting attention, expect cheers, high-fives, and maybe even strangers snapping photos as you pedal past. It’s the perfect pre-game for a Broadway night out and an instant bonding experience for your group.

Picture this: a custom-built, open-air bus that’s basically a rolling honky-tonk, complete with a massive sound system, VIP bartender, LED lights, and space for up to 25 of your closest friends.

The depot has a full bar and grill, frozen cocktails, live outdoor music, and even a custom trucker hat bar where you can deck out your group before hitting the streets. Once you’re on board, it’s all about cruising past Nashville’s most iconic sights with your favorite songs blasting and your bartender keeping drinks in hand.
It’s rowdy in the best way, but totally customizable - you can go full Broadway energy or keep it more laid-back, depending on your group’s mood. There’s even a quick bathroom break halfway through so you can keep the fun going comfortably.

Nashville Drag Queen Party Bus
If your group wants something loud, bold, and unforgettable, this Drag Queen Party Bus delivers a full-on Nashville experience you won’t find anywhere else. This rolling drag show turns the city streets into the stage, with larger-than-life drag performers hosting a high-energy party on wheels.

Nashville Nightlife for Your Bachelorette Party
When the sun sets, Nashville’s energy turns electric, this is where the city earns its reputation as one of the most fun destinations in the country for bachelorette parties and girls weekends. You’ll find rooftop bars with sweeping skyline views, hidden speakeasies, legendary honky-tonks, and music pouring out of every doorway.
Whether your group is here for an all-out Broadway blowout or something a little more curated, these nightlife experiences are guaranteed to be trip highlights.
VIP Pub Crawl
If you want a zero-stress way to dive into Nashville’s nightlife scene, the VIP Pub Crawl is one of the smartest moves you can make. Instead of waiting in long lines or debating where to go next, your local guide takes you straight to the action, from iconic Broadway honky-tonks to rooftop lounges to tucked-away speakeasies you might never find on your own.
Each stop is hand-picked for atmosphere, music, and drinks, and you’ll often enjoy specials or complimentary tastings along the way. This is a fantastic first-night activity, especially if some of your guests are meeting for the first time.

Hot Chicken & Whiskey Tour
Looking for a fun twist on your night out? The Hot Chicken & Whiskey Tour is spicy, boozy, and absolutely packed with Nashville flavor. You’ll sample the city’s signature hot chicken at a locally loved spot, then follow it with smooth Tennessee whiskey tastings at a top distillery or bar.
Along the way, your guide shares stories about Nashville’s food and drink culture, from how hot chicken was accidentally invented to the history behind Tennessee whiskey. It’s the kind of experience that gives you a taste of the city beyond the tourist strip, but still leaves you energized for a night of music and dancing.
Why bachelorettes love it:
Two Nashville icons in one delicious tour
Ideal for foodies and whiskey enthusiasts
Lively guides keep the energy high
Easy to pair with a night on Broadway or in the Gulch
Christine’s Insider Tip: Go for the medium spice level if you want to keep dancing later, extra hot is fun, but it might slow you down!
Rooftop Bar Hop
If the bride-to-be loves a good skyline view, a Nashville rooftop bar crawl is non-negotiable. The city’s rooftop scene is diverse so you can sip craft cocktails at a sleek lounge, grab frosé at a playful patio bar, or dance under the stars at a DJ-fueled rooftop party.
Plan your crawl to start at sunset for golden-hour group photos, then hop between rooftops within walking distance. Popular areas like the Gulch and Broadway make it easy to fit in three or four spots without breaking a sweat (or your heels).

Stunning city views for unforgettable photos
Variety of vibes, from laid-back to all-night party
