Nashville has plenty of mom-and-pop spots out in the suburbs and the rural parts of town that are perfect for good old-fashioned country cookin’, but sometimes you want your meal to be a little more modern and metropolitan. For that, you’ll likely have to head downtown, where the streets buzz long in to the wee hours of the morning. Most folks might know downtown Nashville for its bars, but there are quite a few high-quality restaurants hiding around the corner that you’ll really want to check out. Take a look!
Okay, as if we needed to say more than this picture is already saying, Gray & Dudley serves up top-notch American fare in a super artsy space in the 21c hotel. As you can probably tell, you should order the burger. 221 2nd Ave N.
Black Rabbit is designed to be reminiscent of an old-school speakeasy, which is perfect for its location in Printer's Alley. The menu is eclectic and delicious, but the cocktails are the real standouts. 218 3rd Ave N.
Manny has been serving up pizza from his "house" in the Arcade since the mid-80's, and there's a reason it's been around this long. It's the best, greasiest New York-style pizza around, and it's perfect at any time. 15 Arcade Alley.
The decor and restaurant are sophisticated and old, but the food is updated and exquisite. Located in the Hermitage Hotel, this restaurant is one of the oldest in the city and even has their own farm from which they source all of their beef. 231 6th Ave N.
Southern Steak & Oyster has only been around for a few years, but it's a staple for anyone looking for seafood downtown. It's great for a bite before or after the big game or if you're headed to the Symphony Center for a show. 150 3rd Ave S #110.
The Farm House is tucked away in a side alley in Nashville, but everything else about this place stands out. Despite being in the heart of downtown, everything about this place oozes Southern Comfort, and it's a must for anyone looking for elevated Southern food. 210 Almond St.
Nashville's newest downtown steakhouse is a modern take on the classic steakhouse archetype, and their steaks are melt-in-your-mouth good. Attached to the new Westin on 8th Ave, be sure to make a reservation here. 801 Clark Pl.
If you’re going to be a true Nashvillian, there are some vocabulary words that you need to know. You can’t be a local without them.
