The Best Late-Night Eats in Nashville for Your Bachelorette Group

Why You Need a Late-Night Plan in Nashville

Broadway closes its bars around 3am and your group will be starving. The honky tonks keep pouring, the pedal tavern stops pedaling, and at some point your maid of honor will announce that she needs chicken fingers or she will cry.

Have a plan. These are the spots that actually stay open, serve real food, and can handle a group of ten in sequined cowboy hats.

The Best Late-Night Spots

Ole Red Nashville

Best for: Eating on Broadway without leaving the party | Price: $12-$22

Blake Shelton''s four-story bar keeps the kitchen going until the bitter end. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich holds up after four Whiteclaws and the loaded tots are a crowd favorite.

Order this: Hot chicken sandwich, $16, and loaded tots, $12

"Came here at 1am after the pedal tavern. The hot chicken was actually good and the band was still going. Got the whole group in on a Friday night." Reddit

Robert''s Western World

Best for: A legendary fried bologna sandwich | Price: $6-$12

The kitchen closes at 1:30am but the fried bologna is a Nashville rite of passage. Pair it with a PBR and you will understand Lower Broadway in one bite.

Order this: Recession Special, fried bologna sandwich with chips and a PBR, around $9

"If you leave Nashville without trying the fried bologna at Robert''s, did you even go?" Google Review

Hattie B''s Hot Chicken, Midtown

Best for: Nashville hot chicken at its most serious | Price: $13-$20

The Midtown location stays open late on Friday and Saturday. The line is usually 30 minutes, which is exactly enough time to sober up before "shut the cluck up" level chicken arrives.

Order this: Medium quarter chicken plate with mac and cheese, $15

"The line was wild at 2am but it moved fast. Started at mild, graduated to medium, do not be the person who orders shut the cluck up on a bachelorette trip." Google Review

JBJ''s

Best for: Group seating on Broadway with a real kitchen | Price: $14-$24

Jon Bon Jovi''s six-story bar has a late-night menu that leans pizza and walking tacos. The rooftop is perfect for the photo your group will post at 1am.

Order this: Walking taco, $14, and a New York pizza slice, $7

"Easy place to get a big group seated late. Food was better than I expected for a Broadway bar." Google Review

The Diner

Best for: 24-hour breakfast or steak, no judgment | Price: $14-$30

Six floors, open 24 hours, and the only place in Nashville where ordering steak at 3am is considered normal behavior. The pancakes are the move if your bride is not in a protein mood.

Order this: Short stack with bacon, $13, or the 8 oz filet, $29

"Showed up at 2am with a group of 12, they sat us in 10 minutes. Breakfast was solid, service was patient, a total save." Reddit

Martin''s Bar-B-Que Joint, Downtown

Best for: Whole-hog brisket after last call | Price: $12-$18

Martin''s downtown stays open late on weekends with the full menu. The redneck taco, a cornbread hoecake topped with pulled pork, is the correct choice.

Order this: Redneck taco, $14, or the pulled pork sandwich, $13

"Late night BBQ hits different. Group of 8 bachelorettes, no wait on a Saturday at 1:30am." Google Review

Planning Tips

• Broadway kitchens start closing between 1:30am and 3am. Know your window.
• Tip cash if you can. Many late-night spots run cards slow when the bar crowd pours in.
• Split the group if it is more than eight people. Trying to seat ten at 2am on Broadway is a losing battle.
• Pre-order pizza to your hotel if you are back before 2am. Most places deliver late.
• Save Hattie B''s for the hangover day, not the same night as Broadway. It will be too much spice.
