Where to Stay in Manchester
Fan Stay
Embassy Suites Nashville SE Murfreesboro
An all-suite hotel off I-24 with free cooked-to-order breakfast, well-reviewed by Bonnaroo attendees. Murfreesboro is the main overflow city about 35 miles from the Farm, with properties in this cluster served by the festival shuttle.
Fan Stay
Hampton Inn & Suites Manchester
A Hilton property with indoor and outdoor pools and free breakfast, on the Woodbury Highway corridor near festival-adjacent restaurants. It is one of the closest brand hotels to Great Stage Park and books out months ahead for festival week.
Fan Stay
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Manchester
An IHG hotel attached to the Manchester Conference Center, about two miles from the festival grounds near I-24 Exit 114. Its location puts festival-goers minutes from the gates and from chain dining.
Where to Eat in Manchester
Fan Eats
Bites of Europe
A British-expat-run spot serving bratwurst, bangers and mash, burgers and other European dishes, with German beers and an outdoor beer garden — a distinctive, well-regarded local pick for festival-goers near the Farm.
Fan Eats
Jiffy Burger
A long-running classic American burger diner, the top-rated restaurant in Manchester and a festival-week ritual — it even puts a "Bonnaroo Burger" on the menu. A reliable, fast off-site meal before or after the gates.
Fan Eats
Paco’s Pizza & Pasta
A long-time family-run Italian and pizza institution, described as the best pizza in Manchester and the surrounding area. Pizza and pasta feed groups cheaply, making it a practical, fan-friendly meal during a camping weekend.
Best Bars in Manchester
Beans Creek Winery
A family-owned Tennessee winery just off I-24 Exit 111, very close to the Bonnaroo campgrounds, with a tasting room and a history of Bonnaroo-timed events — the closest sit-down drinking destination to the Farm.
Boro Bourbon & Brews
A bourbon-and-beer bar on Murfreesboro’s downtown Public Square with daily live music and a well-rated kitchen. For the large contingent of fans basing in Murfreesboro, it anchors a walkable square of bars and restaurants.
Common John Brewing Co.
Manchester’s first craft brewery, doubling as a restaurant and community hangout with a large house beer selection. It sits on the Woodbury Highway corridor near the festival — a natural stop for a local craft pint before heading to camp.
