4. Sample Local Spirits and Brews Nashville’ s craft breweries and distilleries are sprinkled throughout the city, many offering guided tastings, tours, and a seat at the bar where the locals gather after business hours.
Popular spots to visit:
• Corsair Distillery: Unique, award-winning spirits with a bold approach
• Nelson’ s Green Brier Distillery: Historic 1800s family distillery, reopened in 2006
• Southern Grist Brewing Co.: Creative brews and small-batch experiments

5. Walk the River and Take in the View After a packed day at the show, sometimes the best move is to get outside, stretch your legs, and take in a view that reminds you why people love Nashville.
Local spots for a walk:
• Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park: A mix of walking paths and Tennessee history
• John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge: Best skyline views in the city
• Riverfront Park: Green space with views of the Cumberland River
