When the sun goes down in Nashville, the volume goes up—and the fun really kicks in. Sure, you can bar-hop down Broadway with the rest of the crowd (and it is a blast), but if you want to elevate your night out with something a little more curated, we’ve got some standout nightlife tours that keep the energy high without leaving you guessing what to do next.

Most of these tours kick off after 6 PM and are designed to pair perfectly with your evening plans. Open-air party buses, late-night pedal taverns, and rooftop bar crawls are ideal for groups looking to sip, dance, and take in the lights of Music City with a bit more structure (and a guaranteed good time).

For live music lovers, you can book guided honky tonk crawls that take you straight to the best spots—no lines, no cover surprises, and local guides who know where the real talent is playing. Some even include private seating or behind-the-scenes access, making your night feel more VIP and less DIY.

If you’re looking for something a little smoother, cocktail tours and distillery experiences in the evening hours offer a more refined take on Nashville nightlife—perfect for smaller groups or couples who want to sip and socialize without the full party scene.

Many of our nightlife options work great as a pre-game to your night out—or even as the main event. Either way, these experiences are designed to keep you out, engaged, and in the mix with the best Nashville has to offer after dark.
