51 North Taproom
Located in the heart of The Nations, 51 North Taproom has something for everyone — from tacos and quesadillas to Southern fried chicken. A special weekend brunch menu includes breakfast nachos — fried eggs over black beans and chips covered with a Gouda queso. It’s a craft-beer focused spot, with 30 constantly rotating taps and 75 bottles or cans of craft beers and ciders, but it’s also family-friendly, and the menu includes plenty of options for the kids.*

Scene tip:
The Tennessee hills start their gentle roll west of downtown, home of long-established neighborhoods like Sylvan Park and Belle Meade, founded as quieter alternatives to more in-town locales. You’ll find Nashville’s most famous park, Centennial, home of a full-size replica of The Parthenon, an homage to the city’s status as Athens of the South and a legacy of higher education that includes nearby Vanderbilt University. A renaissance along Charlotte Avenue brought new restaurants and shops, and beer lovers will want to visit the breweries in The Nations, one of the city’s most charmingly — and mysteriously — named neighborhoods.
