There’s a high probability you’ll run into a bachelorette party drinking espresso martinis and taking sunset pictures at L.A. Jackson, a rooftop bar at the Thompson Nashville in The Gulch. But who can really blame them? It’s a fun spot for a group where you can get very large cocktails like the More Life, a blue, citrusy tequila-based concoction that comes in an igloo cooler with a spout. Even if you're not with a group, you should still drink this cocktail on their patio.

If this is your first time eating hot chicken in Nashville, check out where the city’s most famous dish was rumored to be invented: Prince’s. They have an outpost at Assembly Food Hall that’s within walking distance from L.A. Jackson, where the lines will likely be shorter than at their other location on Nolensville Pike. Plus, your eventual descent into the chaos that is Broadway will be close by.

You may be a bit overwhelmed as you pass through Broadway on your way to Robert's Western World, the memory of hot chicken lingering in your head, and perhaps also the back of your throat. There will be a lot of neon lights, a different country music soundtrack blaring from every single bar, and a lot of people who have been on Broadway since the wee hours of the morning—maybe even since yesterday. If you get hungry, order the recession special.

We hope you ordered the recession special at Robert’s Western World, but either way, no evening is complete without some sort of late-night snack. Enter Bastion, a restaurant and bar in Wedgewood-Houston where your big night will come into contact with a large tray of nachos. Open until 12am Sunday through Thursday and 1am Friday and Saturday, you can order a large plate of nachos in an attempt to soak up the hot chicken, sweet tea, blue drinks, and bologna sandwiches of your past.

It’s getting late, and you could go back to your hotel or Airbnb. If you did, we’d respect that. But you’re in Nashville, and Bastion is about 500 feet away from Flamingo Cocktail Club. This former church plays everything from funk to jazz to EDM, and may very well be the most fun place in town to dance the night away under a disco ball. There’s also a strict dress code here on the weekends.

Whether you’re feeling the effects of the Bastion cocktails, the hot chicken, or both, Adele’s in The Gulch does an all-you-can-eat weekend brunch that will be a necessary buffet-style recovery plan. We love Adele’s all the time, but on Saturdays and Sundays it truly shines, with different stations throughout the restaurant offering every possible hangover cure you could imagine. Think eggs and bacon, pulled pork, excellent cured meats, and a particularly crunchy cauliflower salad.
