Barista Parlor is known on a national basis for their fantastic coffee options and neat atmosphere. You may run into Tom Hanks here (it's happened) or the band members of Mutemath - it's the norm in Nashville.

Nashville is the south, which means we're HUGE proponents of solid, intentional relationships. You don't want to waste a good friend, you don't want to slough off a solid relationship. Meet at Headquarters in West Nashville and foster a dear, dear relationship.
The show is free if you wait a couple of hours in line, or you can buy tickets at 8am one week ahead of time - we'd recommend that, just to make sure you get in.
