Broadway is one of Nashville’s top destinations, made even more desirable through the addition of the city’s largest mixed-use development, Fifth + Broadway. From retail shops to restaurants and residential space, Fifth and Broadway offers a plethora of options adjacent to Music City’s famed honky-tonk bars. Stroll the outdoor plaza to shop at retailers like Apple, Tecovas, Free People, and locally-loved boutiques like REVV and The Nash Collection, then stop for a pick-me-up at Elixr Coffee Roasters or Jeni’s for a sweet treat.
Nashville often sees group travelers, running the gamut from professional conventions to droves of sequin-clad bachelorette parties. According to recent visitors, Fifth and Broadway’s 30-plus dining options make this a perfect option for accommodating all dietary restrictions and preferences, particularly for large groups. Inside Assembly Food Hall, diners can choose between things like bao buns at Steam Boys, smashed burgers at The Pharmacy, street-style fare at Velvet Taco, or a taste of the original hot chicken at Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, then convene with their dish of choice at a large high-top table with sweeping city views. Standalone dining options surround the complex, from the Justin Timberlake-backed Twelve Thirty Club to tapas bar, Boqueria.
The choose-your-own-adventure-style hub hosts regular live music throughout its multiple stories, offers both indoor and outdoor seating, boasts a rooftop bar and entertainment space, and regularly hosts themed events.
The complex is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. However, individual businesses may have different operating hours. There is a parking garage located on-site; rates start at $9 for the first hour. For more information, visit the official website.
