Sample 48-Hour Fan Route

  1. Day 1 Arrival: Check in at Graduate Nashville, settle near the event zone, and open your first local meal block.
  2. Day 1 Peak: Center the night around 2031 Nashville Formula Circuit Weekend and then push into post-event fan energy at Attaboy Nashville.
  3. Day 2 Closeout: Use daytime space for Bridgestone Arena, then finish with Bolton's Spicy Chicken & Fish before departure.

Best Bars in Nashville

Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row — Fan Bar
Fan Bar

Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row

Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row on Lower Broadway is Nashville's biggest and most spectacular honky tonk — a four-story country music bar from the country superstar himself, featuring live music on every floor from noon until 3 am and views of Broadway's legendary neon strip from the rooftop. Predators fans pre-gaming for Bridgestone Arena (two blocks away) and country music fans from every corner of the world fill every level, creating a fan atmosphere that captures Nashville's unique position as both music capital and passionate hockey town. The rooftop view of Broadway at night is Nashville's most spectacular fan panorama.

Bridgestone Arena Smashville Fan Walk — Things to Do
Things to Do

Bridgestone Arena Smashville Fan Walk

The walk from Lower Broadway to Bridgestone Arena on Predators game nights is one of the NHL's most spectacular pre-game rituals — 17,000 gold-jersey-clad Smashville faithful converging on Broadway, the honky tonk music fading behind them, and the famous catfish-throwing tradition of playoff hockey adding an unmistakably Nashville flavour. The Smashville atmosphere has been called the loudest in the NHL, and experiencing it live is a bucket-list hockey moment.

Marathon Music Works — Attraction
Attraction

Marathon Music Works

Marathon Music Works is Nashville's most beloved independent concert venue — a converted 1917 automobile factory in the Marathon Village complex where music fans seek out the intimate, authentic Nashville show experience away from the Broadway tourist zone. The exposed brick walls, 1,700-person capacity, and excellent acoustics have made it the launch pad for Nashville-signed artists breaking through and a favourite tour stop for indie, rock, and Americana acts. Music fans who discover Marathon alongside a Predators game or Grand Prix weekend consider it Nashville's best-kept secret.
