If you are visiting Nashville for a girls trip, bachelorette weekend, or celebratory getaway, brunch is not just about food. In this city, brunch often comes with DJs, music, cocktails flowing freely, and an atmosphere that feels more like a daytime party than a sit-down meal.
As someone who lives in Tennessee and spends a lot of time in Nashville, these are the brunch spots I recommend when friends come to visit and want that fun, upbeat experience. Think music playing, champagne popping, stylish crowds, and brunch that easily turns into an all-day event.

Planning Tips for a Party-Style Brunch in Nashville
If you are visiting Nashville and want a brunch with music, DJs, or bottomless-style cocktails, reservations are key. These spots book up quickly, especially on weekends and during peak travel seasons.
Plan brunch as part of your overall itinerary. Many of these locations are close to Broadway, rooftops, or shopping, making it easy to keep the day going without relocating too much.
If your group prefers a balance, consider doing one high-energy brunch and one more relaxed brunch during your trip. Nashville offers both, and mixing them makes the weekend feel well-rounded.
Classic and Relaxed Brunch Options
If you want a slower brunch experience that’s about the food, conversation, or a quieter start to a day of exploring Nashville, consider these:
The Butter Milk Ranch – Elevated Southern Brunch
The Butter Milk Ranch offers an elevated brunch menu in a charming setting that feels distinctly Nashville. House-made pastries, seasonal dishes, and craft cocktails create a brunch that feels special without being overwhelming. It’s perfect for visitors who want brunch that tastes like a destination meal rather than a party.

Tips for Brunch in Nashville
Nashville brunch is more than a meal. It is music, cocktails, atmosphere, and shared experiences that set the tone for the rest of the day. Whether you are sipping mimosas at a rooftop, dancing to a DJ downtown, or easing into the afternoon with brunch cocktails, these spots offer the kind of energy visitors come to Nashville for.
Brunch gets busy, especially on Friday through Sunday. Most spots with DJs or entertainment require reservations and can fill weeks in advance. If your group loves brunch cocktails, check for bottomless mimosa options and brunch specials when booking.
Balancing a high-energy brunch with a more relaxed one on your trip makes for a well-rounded experience. Start with a party brunch on your first full day, and pick a classic brunch on a slower morning before shopping, museums, or live music later.
