Honky Tonk Hat Bar | Custom Cowboy & Trucker Hat Experience
Description
Create a one-of-a-kind Nashville souvenir at Honky Tonk Hat Bar, the city’s original hat bar in the Broadway/West End corridor. During a 90-minute guided workshop, you’ll pick your base hat—trucker, canvas, dad, or wool/straw cowboy—then customize it from a fully stocked accessories bar featuring bands, feathers, chains, pins, patches, vinyl messaging, and more. An experienced hat designer styles, assembles, and fits your finished piece so it looks great and wears perfectly.
The venue also functions as a boutique and full-service beverage bar, making it easy to shop, sip, and socialize before, during, and after your session. It’s a fun, hands-on experience for bachelorettes, birthdays, couples, and friend groups looking for something more memorable than a typical night out.
