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 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) andEast Nashville.
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.
- The dive motel is a city favorite, well known for its epic summer pool parties.
