Solo in the Music City: Where Work Meets Escape in Nashville
Whether you're a remote worker looking for a fresh scene or a solo adventurer craving a little Southern soul, Nashville offers the perfect blend of productivity and play. With cozy coffee shops, inspiring music, and warm Tennessee hospitality, it’s a city that welcomes solo travelers with open arms—and lets you write your own story, whether you're here for business, escape, or a little of both.
So grab your laptop and your sense of curiosity—here’s how to make the most of your solo stay in Nashville.
Day 1: Set the Vibe Downtown
Start your trip by soaking up the energy on Broadway. Sure, it's touristy, but there's something exhilarating about live music pouring out of every bar, day or night. It’s the kind of energy that reminds you why you came—to feel something different.
Morning tip for workers: Head to Frothy Monkey (12South or Downtown) for a solid cup of coffee, strong Wi-Fi, and a table that makes remote work feel like a treat.
Afternoon? Take a lunch break at Assembly Food Hall, where you can grab whatever you’re craving and maybe even catch a midday music set. Then log a few more hours of work from a rooftop patio or nearby co-working space like WeWork East Nashville.

As the sun sets, close your laptop and cross the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge for skyline views that’ll clear your head.
Day 2: Work, Wander, Repeat
Looking for your morning grind spot? Grab a coffee at Honest Coffee Roasters — they’ve got a location downtown and another at L&L Market. The L&L one is especially cool since it’s right next to Collective615, a coworking space with day passes — perfect if you want to get some work done after your caffeine fix.
Once you've hit your productivity goals, it's time to explore. The Country Music Hall of Fame offers a deeper dive into Nashville’s soul. Even if you're not a country fan, the storytelling here is top-tier—and a reminder of how powerful passion + persistence can be (a little motivational boost, anyone?).
Lunch: Biscuit Love (The Gulch) because you deserve a Southern-style biscuit sandwich after a productive morning.
Spend your late afternoon exploring
12South, a charming walkable neighborhood filled with street art, stylish shops, and laid-back locals. Grab a coffee and a fresh pastry from the counter at
The Buttermilk Ranch and let the day slow down.
