Nashville Pride

• Nashville pride is one of the biggest pride events in the south eastern United States and has grown over the past decade to include several street parties, cultural events and a large and well attended pride parade through the city streets.

Gay Nashville

• Gay Nashville is trendy but also unusually friendly, the locals are quite easy to meet. A real Southern flavor pervades this sexy, culturally exciting city, especially in the folksy neighborhoods, where most gay establishments can be found.
• Gay bars and other venues are clustered in at least four separate areas. All are spread out from one another so you will need to Uber or drive to get from around: Midtown around Church; the West End (near Vanderbilt University), East Nashville, and the Trebecca area south of the city.
• However most visitors will find that this whole city is gay-friendly. If you do want to be in the heart of the action, then try and stay around church street.
• Those looking to party should check out Play Nightclub at the heart of Church street with great drag shows and beautiful shirtless guys! Tribe is a fun gay bar with a country barn/warehouse type feel. Canvas Lounge is great for Karaoke and snacks. Finally if you are looking for your men clad in Levis and leather, head to Stirrup Nashville a mix between a cowboy dive bar and piano lounge.
• The dive motel is  a city favorite, well known for its epic summer pool parties.
