Today MetroMix Nashville released their annual Best Of Nashville Awards. In honor of that, I thought I’d make my own “best of” list. Enjoy!
1. Best Coffee Shop – Fido – I should own stock here although I do hit up Frothy Monkey and Ugly Mugs too depending on where I am that day.
2. Best BBQ – Judge Beans – Don’t love the new location because I’m not in Brentwood often but the food more than makes up for it!
3. Best Live Music Venue – 12th and Porter – Home to the best Local, Regional and National acts. I love it because it’s big enough for full production shows but small enough to still be intimate.
4. Best New Restaurant – The Local Taco – Just plain good tacos, chips and salsa, and margaritas!
5. Best Burger – PM – Just trust me on this one. Once you’ve had one, you’ll crave another… often
6. Best Date Night Restaurant – The Acorn – Romantic atmosphere, incredible food and wine and the service is top notch (I’m big on this, I once was a server in another life)
7. Best 2 for 1 Night – Melrose Pub (Thursday) – Go early if you want a table. The secret is out on this one.
8. Best Wine Bar – Rumors – Summer is the best time to go to sit out on the patio and enjoy a nice Red. It’s cozy in the wintertime too with an exciting revolving menu.
9. Best Quick Cheap Eats – Calypso Cafe – I eat here once a week, never gets old. Healthy, Cheap, Fast, Good!
10. Best Meat and 3 – Arnold’s – This is my weakness, Southern food. From fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and green beans with a sweet tea, corn bread and banana pudding to finish it off. You need a wheelbarrow to roll me out after that!
