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.
- Nashville Sweet Tea Dance hosts monthly gay Tea Dance parties at various locations across the city. The pride party is always a popular event.
- Looking to stay in one of the most gay friendly hotels in Nashville? Look no further than the Virgin Hotel with superb facilities and a VIP feel!
- The dive motel is also a city favorite, well known for its epic summer pool parties.
