Outdoor Bars and Restaurants in Nashville

When the warm weather requires you to get outside and play cornhole with a drink in hand – or just take in the sunset – Nashville has you covered. Here is a guide to outdoor bars and restaurants in Nashville. Now the only questions are, where are you heading first, and which frozen drink are you ordering?

12 South

Playdate – If a giant slide for adults wasn’t enough motivation, Play also has lawn games and is dog-friendly. In 12 South

Donelson

Nectar – another family friendly spot, give them a follow on social media for their special events in the backyard, including kid’s nights and yoga!

Downtown/Germantown

Fogg Street – go for the downtown views, stay for the lawn bowling. This is truly a slept on space.

Jacqueline – a trendy cocktail hang that features oysters and other seafood bites from the Optimist

Sonny’s – giant Jenga, screens for the big games, and lots of fun in Germantown.

East

Cherries – fire pits, an outdoor bar, and just a really great hang in East.

East Nash Beer Works – bring the kids for the playground and the adults to watch the biggest games or movies on the huge outdoor screen.
