  • On our new series Gatekeepers, host Justin Lizama is traveling across the country to meet up with these individuals and experience their city on a local’s level. First stop: Nashville, Tennessee, where local host/personality Paxton Elrod is on a mission to prove to Justin no matter how popular Nashville becomes as a tourist destination, it’s still a small town city with a southern charm. Here are the best places to eat, drink and visit on your trip to Nashville.
    In every city there’s someone who’s connected, who knows where to go on a slow Monday night and can get a table anywhere they want on a Friday - in every city there’s a Gatekeeper. In this Thrillist travel show, we’re sending our host across the country to meet up with these Gatekeepers and experience first hand everything you should make sure to do/eat/drink, one city at a time.

    Middle Tennessean since 1977. A few points.
    Broadway has been safe since the late 90s. After the Arena was built, the Predators moved in, and the Oilers moved here and became the Titans. Before "95 it was horrible.
    You lost EXTREME points with the "Nashvillian" hanging out on Broadway. Only happens when they have family in town and have to. Or before a Preds game.
    However you gained MAJOR points when she corrected you on Nash Vegas. NO ONE from Nashville uses that DAMN TERM!!!!! If you hear someone in Nashville using it then they are either a tourist or a brand new transplant. If they are a new transplant we will fix them.
    Other points are valid. There are lots of other places but she took you to some solid ones.

I'll try the other episodes. I'm southern as well, and being nice to someone coming to your town is just natural. She just seemed ... bothered he was there.

    First view of the city was from Love Circle. Smack dab in a residential neighborhood, so don't go there expecting to party. But you can bring a blanket and sit down for a relaxing view.
    I worked a half block north of Broadway for a few years. The reason it seems different during the day is that you see a lot of people who are there to work, not party.
    There's a lot of good hot chicken places in Nashville. Unless you've been to them all you can't say one is the best. Bolton's, Prince's and Big Shakes are very good. I've never conquered the lines at Hattie B's. New places seem to pop up all the time. If you've never had it, don't get the hot. Just don't.
    The drunk bachelorettes on the pedal taverns are known as the Woo Girls. Be patient, they'll get out of the way.
    The best place to take scenic pictures is from the John Siegnethaler Walking Bridge or on the banks of the Cumberland next to Nissan Stadium.
    Santa's Pub is currently closed due to the pandemic because they're a bar and not a restaurant. The owner is not happy.
