Day 3 in Nashville was jam-packed!

We headed off to the Nashville Sounds (Nashville’s Minor League baseball team) game in the afternoon and had a great time at Greer Stadium. The Sounds won 3-2 against the Albuquerque Isotopes and there were some great plays!

After the game it was time to meet up for our Hick Chick Pub Crawl tour. Our first stop was at Dick’s Last Resort where the servers are actually rude to you. It’s part of their shtick. When we arrived our server gave us the lay of the land (and insulted us).

Stephanie asked for water so he brought her a glass of ice and told her that it would melt. He finally brought her a big bucket of water to drink.

He kept taking our sunglasses and then he made John a ridiculous hat to wear. That was definitely an interesting experience.

We met up with our tour guide, Christy, who is also a stand up comedian. John got picked to be the caboose of the tour to make sure we didn’t lose anyone. We fondly referred to ourselves as the “Cabooze” after that. Here is a shot of our tour group and you can see us in the back:

From there, we headed to Printer’s Alley, which has been known for its nightlife since the 1940’s.

Our next stop was the Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar which is known for its live blues performances every night. Once you got inside you almost forgot you were in Nashville. It transported you right back to New Orleans, so of course we had to get some hurricanes. I would have loved to spend more time here, this was a great bar – we would definitely come back the next time we visit Nashville.

We did some more sightseeing on the way to our next location. Here is the AT&T building a.k.a. the Batman Building which is the tallest building in Nashville:

We also stopped at the statue of legendary country producer, Chet Atkins, a founding father of Nashville’s music business.

Next stop was a little honkytonk bar, called Layla’s Bluegrass Inn. This was another little gem, with live country music. Many famous musicians have taken the stage here, including Hank Williams III. The music was great and we could have stayed there all night!

But, we had to move on to our next stop – Bootlegger’s Inn! Bootlegger’s Inn features Popcorn Sutton’s famous moonshine. The bar has an old saloon feeling to it and they had live music throughout the evening. I was able to try some of the moonshine while we were there. I liked the apple pie flavor and could sip that by itself, but the blueberry was too much for me so we had to add a mixer.

Last but not least, our bar crawl led us to our final stop, Whiskey Bent Saloon. This was another fun bar with live music and dancing. As you can see, the details are a little fuzzier here, but each of these bars would have been great for a night out.

We had such a great time on the Hick Chick Pub Crawl. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Nashville.
