Their is a Ramada Inn across from the Stadium with security. You can walk to Hard Rock Café / Printers Alley / Downtown. It evens has a Guitar shaped pool. It is where we stay when we go downtown
2nd Ave is downtown party central (used to be anyway). Printers Alley also good and ride out to the Opryland Hotel if you get a chance. I miss Nashville...
The Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar is my favorite music spot in Nashville. If you are lucky, you will catch a night when Stacy Mitchhart is playing. His band is a regular there and they are great.
Another great spot (for country music) is Legends Corner next to Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on Broadway. Tootsie's is fun and more famous, but you can hardly move around in there because it is always so crowded. If you go to Legends, hit the upstairs bar where the cute bartenders are serving. Legends Corner
The Don Kelley band at Roberts are awesome. They have a guitar player named J.D. Simo. The guy is amazing. Also check out Vince Moreno if you can find him playing. Great musician and funny as heck. Saw him at Crossroads. Nashville is a great time!
We go often. Unless you want to pay 250.00 plus a night to stay in downtown I suggest going with 4 Points Sheraton or Hilton in Brentwood. Super nice rooms and a taxi ride for all of you for around $20.00 . I live an hour from there and this is what we do. Just went last weekend for my wife. Stayed at the Hilton Suites in Brentwood. It cost about 140.00 . Once downtown you just pop in and out of places. I suggest checking out the ones without cover charges first. Yes wear shorts and loose clothes. It gets nasty hot...
If you are coming all the way from RI, you really owe it to yourself to consider staying at the ******* since it is an amazing place and if you hook into one of the packages it isn't all that expensive. They have a multitude of places to eat and many of them have very good live music. For guests there are discount Grand Ol Opry tickets with transportation. Cabs aren't that expensive to get 4 couples downtown and back plus the big mall isn't far from the *******. I think the Gibson Custom Guitar shop is still in there after the flood where you can watch them build the guitars.
