Eastside Bowl, 1508A Gallatin Pk. S.
The retro feel of this bowling alley makes it a cool spot to hang with the family until 10 p.m. — that’s when the biz transitions to a 21+ venue.

Open

Muse Paintbar opened its first Nashville location in River North. The 2,600-sqft studio offers 94 painting stations, private event spaces, and a menu featuring cocktails, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and shareable bites. Make note of these upcoming themed classes.

Biz

In spring 2024, we shared the early vision for Lost and Found coming to East Nashville’s Inglewood neighborhood. Now, several tenants have been announced ahead of the development’s early 2026 opening, including Pizza Lolo, a wine shop, a bar named Fortunate Sun, and space for four food trucks. (The Tennessean)

Quoted

“Being involved in a sports team in Nashville has always been a goal… the Preds are a great organization with a fantastic brand.” That’s what former Alabama football coach Nick Saban said after he and business partner Joe Agresti purchased a minority stake in the Nashville Predators.

Eat

Order up, Brentwood. 51st Deli announced plans to open today, Dec. 17 at the CityPark development off Franklin Road. Stop by for sandwiches, salads, burritos, snacks, coffee, juices, and other deli favorites.

Coming Soon

In other food news, Em & Me Vietnamese Cafe & Bites is headed to the Germantown space last home to Buds & Brews. A social media post hints at a summer 2026 opening + a menu with Vietnamese coffee and snacks. (Nashville Business Journal)

Concert

Bridgestone Arena announced several new concerts: Valentine’s Mixtape headlined by Trey Songz and Ashanti (Feb. 15); Freely Fest featuring performances by The Killers, T-Pain, Janelle Monáe, and others (April 8); and Josh Groban and Jennifer Hudson (June 16). Find all the details on Bridgestone’s calendar.

The Wrap

This one’s a bit specific, but does anyone have a favorite chocolate meringue pie in town or know a place that sells them whole? If so, feel free to send the name of the place my way. Arnold’s Country Kitchen comes to mind, but the more recommendations, the merrier. Thanks in advance!
