Thanks for watching folks - I appreciate you being here. Have you seen my first videos from Tennessee? Check them out >> th-cam.com/play/PLvHMy_OWSWrtSizCaAOg-Yp5WvNd2wVvK.html
Shaun one of the things I appreciate about your channel is the fact that you explore all areas of America rather than the same cliche tourist traps Florida, NYC, and California. All those places have incredible things to see to be sure but so does the rest of the country, and nobody has even seen the rest because all they do is go to the same 3 places.
@@shaunvlog want some recommendations? Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Indianapolis 500 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Wisconsin Dells in Wisconsin. The Grand Canyon! All things Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois. Be sure not to miss the Lincoln museum and New Salem, where Lincoln grew up, and Lincoln's Tomb (it's massive). You can also tour there the Old State Capitol building. There's an old one that was preserved during Lincoln's day but since then they also built a new one which is quite impressive incidentally and worth a visit, but in the old one was where obama announced his candidacy for President. I loathe him in just about every way conceivable, but it's history, and something for you to tour while there. Mall of America in I believe it's Minnesota.
Once my Texan boss called me at home about some work matter on a Friday evening. His words were, "Why, I thought you'd be out honky tonking!" in complete earnestness and in a thick Texas drawl. 🤣🤠So hilarious! The term is old fashioned, but still used.
It's not even the same as it was 5 or 10 years ago. In a way that's very sad to some of us Tennesseans. There've been quite a few establishments, very long-time establishments, that have closed. It's lost a lot of its charm.
I live in Nashville and have for 30 some years. Lower broad street has really changed over the years. There were always Honky Tonks, but it was much more laid back. Now it’s like non stop Mardi Gras in New Orleans! It’s great if you want to party like that, but if you want to sit back and listen to some music and have a few drinks, there are dozens of much better places to go in the city. I hope you got to visit some of them before you left.❤️🤗🐝
@@shaunvlog They did just that. But Music City is a fairly big place and there are many of the old fashioned Bars around with excellent live music.❤️🤗🐝
I don't know if there's anything wrong with that particular White Castle restaurant, but White Castle in general is really good. They are the original "sliders," since 1921! Comfort food for many people, a White Castle is a small hamburger with cooked onions and pickles on a soft warm bun. Definitely a part of Americana!
Growing up here, I took this for granted and thought all downtown areas were like Broadway. The only other downtown places I knew were New Orleans and Panama City. Also, party towns. When I first started traveling for work, the girl I went with was also a Nashville native. Our firm would always give us an extra day to explore the cities we went to. We were shocked when we would go to a downtown area to party and nothing existed or not to the level we were used to. We even went to high school on Broadway, so seeing places that weren't like Broadway were a culture shock for us, lol.
Hi Shaun! Next time you're in Texas, check out the stockyards in Fort Worth. Billy Bob's is the world's biggest honky tonk. And no, you didn't invent the term Honky Tonkin', we've been using it forever.
I've lived in Nashville all my life and have never been "honky tonking"-- so thanks for the opportunity to see what it's like when I have the option to turn the volume down 😂😂 Glad y'all had a good time, thanks for visiting us!
I used to go to a Honky Tonk on the river called the 'Boondocks'..... EVERY weekend night ended in a bar fight. And not just 2 dudes fighting, the entire club throwing chairs , beer cans,etc. ( all drinks were served in plastic cups. No glass allowed) It was exactly like something you'd see in a Western!
A reporter ask country musician, Chet Adkins, back in the 70's what was the Nashville sound. His reply was putting his hand in his pocket and jingling the coin money, end of answer. Also there are several country songs that mention honky tonkin, Hank Williams 1948 hit called "Honky Tonkin".
There are places right downtown you could get packs of water you just have to search to find them. They are hidden. For instance, there is a Dollar General near the Arcade (open air shopping mall) downtown...Or in an unassuming building downtown. I would never have known where the Arcade was at if my friend from Nashville hadn't showed me one time. Most Hotels have bottled water, though. Sometimes the charge, sometimes it's free. You can always ask the front desk. Also the tap water in the links and water fountains (near public bathrooms, ocassionally you might are one just hanging on the side of a building or in a park area) around the city is perfectly safe to drink
All that good Southern food melts right off in the staggering humidity. You guys might be dehydrated, I hope you find gallons of water. Nashville Carnival beating Rio is WILD! Happy Cool Trails!
No baby, goin’ honky Tonkin’ is a real thing. Especially in Texas where I live. There are some real cry in your beer, sawdust on the floor dives here. Gotta love it.
Shaun, I can't remember if you've ever been to Austin or Luckenbach, Tx, but they should be on your list. If you want honky tonkin' they're where you go. You should also check out Texas's best dance hall. It's Gruene's in New Braunfels and if you like country music it will be one of the best nights of your life for you and Teka. Don't get me wrong, I love Nashville. It's just a little bit slick and city for me. If you want a place to sing along with the band, drink beer out of a plastic cup and really meet some good people come to Texas. Another great video and thanks!
Hi Shaun! Your in my town! We live just north of downtown NASHVILLE. Enjoy your stay. You have to go to the honky-tonks on Broadway!! That’s the original Nashville.
I've lived pretty close to Nashville my whole life, but have never visited the city for the nightlife. Even though I love country music, it's just not my scene. I think I may need to plan a weekend road trip with my hubby just to experience it after watching this video. Thanks for sharing. Take care!
They have a spot to meet most people's taste.. and other styles jazz, rock whatever you need... even have disco if that's your thing 😉 You guys should definitely go...
As a Nashvillian, i will tell you we all avoid lower Broad whenever possible. I get that as a tourist it's kind of a must-do thing, but it doesn't represent the city as a whole.
He got good advice to avoid that White Castle. I get a hankering for some sliders and make it to that store to get my fix. Inevitably I get a dose of attitude and employees who hate their jobs. We know what to expect though . Great video Sean
Maybe you should have gone to the Blue Bird Cafe where so many excellent country stars got their star, even Taylor Swift played there back in the day. Have to agree it looks pretty crazy down there glad you didn't stay too long.
Honky Tonkin'" is an old Hank Williams (Senior) song from the late 1940's early 1950's. Should listen to it, it probability described your Nashville adventures perfectly.
4:45. White Castle is an INSANELY famous fast food restaurant in the US. It used to be more famous than McDonalds. I'm surprised that you had never heard of it before. White Castle's specialty is small hamburgers (today we call them sliders). Back when I was a kid in the 1970s, people would buy 10 White Castle burgers for $3.00!! The restaurant chain in mostly in the southern US states now. I just did a search and the closest White Castle to me is 176 miles away on Long Island, NY (I am in Massaschusetts).
Nah, they aren't "insanely famous" LOL. I had to look it up, and they're only in 13 states, predominately in the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have the most locations). Like the other commenter, I only really know of them from Harold and Kumar... and those disgustingly awful frozen White Castle sliders sold in the supermarket. Just based off of how gross those are, I have no desire to ever eat there.
While they're the oldest burger chain in the country I had never heard of them until I was an adult. In the South we grew up eating Krystals which is not as old but serves the same style burger. But most of their stores are not in the South. According to them they're concentrated in the midwest and NYC.
There is a Whole Foods Market on Broadway. Kind of an expensive grocery store, but it might be closest to where you are. They have an underground parking garage so you can drive or walk. A little bit of a walk away from the party scene though.
It's crazy watching your videos and knowing exactly where every location in them is. I grew up walking around those city streets and I love that you get to experience it, too.
New Orleans can be as intense, but its only near that level certain times of year (Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, a few other holidays). I mean there's some craziness on normal weekends, but its like an 8 to Nashville's 10.
You couldn't find them if you tried but there are industry/musician/server speak-easies in Nashville. After work at the studio, one of the sound engineers took me to one. They stay open all night. Mainly because they're illegal. This one was off of the Cumberland River.
I'm not about crowds of drunks and the wild party scene, but I get that it's something to see and it makes for interesting videos. If y'all hung around a bit longer, you would've seen some fool get arrested for sure. 😂
Au contraire Uber driver, white castle is a staple for after drinking food, you can eat 10 burgers without thinking about it Definitely not fancy Michelin quality but definitely a must do.
Shaun I’ve always wondered if you got your sign off ( have a good night morning evening or wherever you are in the world), from Art Bell? I listened to him for years. He always signed off that way. Did you listen to him too? It’s nice to hear it again.
Except it is real and honky tonks are a type of bar and can be found in Nashville. They’ve been around for a very very long time. It’s history. We still have Saloons in Nashville.
@@thetruth1140 I think of honky tonks as being dive bars back in the woods. Someplace your momma wouldn’t want you to go, even though she went there when she was young!!!! 😂
White castle is great... It isn't Michelin star dinner... It's you've been out drinking and you want something to eat, low cost good filler. Remember to get the dusseldorf mustard. Onion chips and chicken rings 👍
Shaun, sadly, you've still not been to a real honkytonk. You have been to country bars, but they're not the same. Fun fact: back in the day (way back) throughout the South, (and no doubt up North as well), the African American community had their own clubs, usually out in the woods or not far from the outskirts of their town. In most of those clubs, you'd find an upright piano made by the Tonk Piano co. Because of that, the clubs were called Tonks. Honky is a pejorative of the Black community referencing Whites. I'll let you decide what a "HonkyTonk" is and why it's called that. 😊
He didn't say the first one was honky tonk, but I guess in your eagerness to start "correcting" things you didn't bother to pay attention to what he did say.
It's a shame that the Uber driver said stay away from White Castle. It's the original fast food burger joint. It also invented sliders. Is it the best place around? Nope, but when you come out of bar hopping those little sliders hit the spot. The sliders start at $.72 each. I used to come out of the bars, order 4 of them for $1 back in the day. It's just the experience.
Ole Red is Blake Shelton's place. Kid Rock and many others have honky tonks there as well. Instead of eating at that weird Dolly place, I would have eaten at one of the honky tonks earlier in the day.
The area you're staying at is more of a locals area, not much for tourists, which is a good thing. It's best to experience a bit of the local life rather than just the tourist cliche places. I lived, worked, and partied in that side of town in my youth.
@Shaun Yes, you went Honky Tonkin'.. It's a real thing, especially in Texas. Next time you come to Texas you need to go to Arkey Blue's and 11th Street Bar and Grill in Bandera and to Luckenbach, TX. White Castle are nasty burgers. Once you've had Whataburger you won't want any other. And, you have had Whataburger. Also, come back when you can attend. Mardi Gras in NOLA and/or Fiesta in San Antonio.
@@shaunvlog Just let us know! I am sure that David Sutherland and others from the Scottish Society of San Antonio would be glad to bring you back to the Hill Country and I will round up some of our Scots of the Texas Hill Country as well.I haven't been to 11th Street in about 15 years...far too long!
Lolol a LITERAL nightmare 🥴🤣 You are so diplomatic & positive Shaun. It was God-awful. & I'm from & live in the south. Most of the crap they were playing wasn't even country music.🤦♀️ Nashville has REALLY gone downhill in the last decade or so.
Hope you went to the classic Bluebird cafe and didn’t just focus on touristy Broadway. Now I know I won’t be going to Nashville, not like I was ever interested before.

Yep. I proposed to my Brit wife in the top of the St Louis Arch. Visit St Louis and small towns like Hannibal, Mo too.
Nashville looks like a rockin' place. Fantastic. 😁
There are lots of cafes in the Gulch, midtown and East Nashville.

I've stopped at that White Castle every time I've been to Nashville. 😆 They don't have WC near me, so it's always a treat.
Nashville is definitely a party place for young people. It completely changed from what it once was.
It's not even the same as it was 5 or 10 years ago. In a way that's very sad to some of us Tennesseans. There've been quite a few establishments, very long-time establishments, that have closed. It's lost a lot of its charm.

Cook Out is great. You can get a really good burger, two sides, and a milkshake for under ten dollars. (Prices may vary by region)
Honestly I wouldn’t recommend cookout to an adult traveler. Why waste a meal at cookout when every other decent restaurant is better.
I used to go to a Honky Tonk on the river called the 'Boondocks'..... EVERY weekend night ended in a bar fight. And not just 2 dudes fighting, the entire club throwing chairs , beer cans,etc. ( all drinks were served in plastic cups. No glass allowed) It was exactly like something you'd see in a Western!

You found it! Party central!!
"Not even a carnival in Brazil looks like that." Wow! Well, I can write down Downtown Nashville or Broadway on a list of places NOT to go.

Looks like you went on a quiet night too. (Born and raised Nashvillian)

You couldn't find them if you tried but there are industry/musician/server speak-easies in Nashville. After work at the studio, one of the sound engineers took me to one. They stay open all night. Mainly because they're illegal. This one was off of the Cumberland River.
You need to Try White Castle.
I regret not going in so I’ll need to go back
Wow that cured me of ever wanting to visit there lol that place is insane!
Haha! It was a fun night
Interesting looking drinks. For me, a mixed drink is when you put ice in the glass too.😂
You should come to Denver sometime!
Was going to say thank God you didn't grab a Hurricane early in the evening. ;)
I'm not about crowds of drunks and the wild party scene, but I get that it's something to see and it makes for interesting videos. If y'all hung around a bit longer, you would've seen some fool get arrested for sure. 😂
This reminds me sort of like Mardi Gras New Orleans or Fantasy Fest in Key West without all the nudity.
Au contraire Uber driver, white castle is a staple for after drinking food, you can eat 10 burgers without thinking about it
Definitely not fancy Michelin quality but definitely a must do.

You still need to come to Kansas lol 😂
White Castle is love it or hate it and you can't know which you are until you try it.
I think anyplace downtown that calls itself a honky tonk is about real as Disneyworld

I will try one next time
If you like your burger steamed, it's great. Your Uber driver saved you.
8:17 the guy in the background with the Cocaine Is Keto shirt 😂
White castle is great... It isn't Michelin star dinner... It's you've been out drinking and you want something to eat, low cost good filler. Remember to get the dusseldorf mustard. Onion chips and chicken rings 👍
Nashville definitely something else.
Indeed! I liked it
Half way in… and where are the honky tonks?? Come to Fort Worth and I’ll show ya some.
Let's meet in Montana or Puerto Rico? There's a beautiful rainforest you will love. Amazing food. Or I'll show you around the real Montana🙏
What day did you go out on Broadway? Just wondering if this is weekday or weekend crowds or if its the same whatever day it is

I would prefer old timey bluegrass!! That looks like New Orleans.

I’d love to! 🤠

@@malcolmdrake6137 , oh, is that so
I'm fairly certain Harold and Kumar go to White Castle made it's way to the UK. Come on guys! 😎
White Castle serves what I call “drunk food”. Great after a nite of alcohol and you’re starving and need grease and carbs.
If you get to Sid Gold’s Piano Bar, tell Kira I said hi!!
This was filmed months ago
White Castle is classic. I don't know what the Uber driver is talking about. You can also buy them frozen from the grocery store.
There was a Walgreens 2 streets over from where you were, should've checked Google Maps.
Ya stay away from White Castle. Man I wish I knew you were here! I could of shown a fellow Scotsman around this wonderful city!
Avoid White Castle?!? White Castle is a midwest institution...awesome late-night food...belly bombers!
It's a shame that the Uber driver said stay away from White Castle. It's the original fast food burger joint. It also invented sliders. Is it the best place around? Nope, but when you come out of bar hopping those little sliders hit the spot. The sliders start at $.72 each. I used to come out of the bars, order 4 of them for $1 back in the day. It's just the experience.
Love the double cheeseburgers and the crispy chicken sliders!
It’s not really known as great burgers, more like a place to go late at night when you have been drinking. Like the Waffle House.
Ole Red is Blake Shelton's place. Kid Rock and many others have honky tonks there as well. Instead of eating at that weird Dolly place, I would have eaten at one of the honky tonks earlier in the day.
White Castle: Uber driver is right. Don't bother unless you really enjoy acid reflux.
I just can't understand how they are still in business all these decades.
Its fine. It just a digestive trigger for some people and not for others. I certainly wouldn't waste money there in such a restaurant town though.
I have always wanted to visit Nashville but that is not my style. Maybe it's better in fall/winter.
The whole city isn't like that, just that small part of town. However, it's like that year round.
Google will always help you find what you need! .... ex: cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, etc
I heard John Rich of Big & Rich somewhere in there. But that place is a little too crazy for me.
you guys didnt get lots of that in New Orleans...... I am shocked
We did but I think Nashville was more intense
The area you're staying at is more of a locals area, not much for tourists, which is a good thing. It's best to experience a bit of the local life rather than just the tourist cliche places. I lived, worked, and partied in that side of town in my youth.

You look whipped Shaun and seem out of breath .Hope you had a good night's sleep.
@Shaun Yes, you went Honky Tonkin'.. It's a real thing, especially in Texas. Next time you come to Texas you need to go to Arkey Blue's and 11th Street Bar and Grill in Bandera and to Luckenbach, TX.
White Castle are nasty burgers. Once you've had Whataburger you won't want any other. And, you have had Whataburger.
Also, come back when you can attend. Mardi Gras in NOLA and/or Fiesta in San Antonio.
Next time I’m in Texas I’ll 100% go Honky Tonkin 😅
@@shaunvlog Just let us know! I am sure that David Sutherland and others from the Scottish Society of San Antonio would be glad to bring you back to the Hill Country and I will round up some of our Scots of the Texas Hill Country as well.I haven't been to 11th Street in about 15 years...far too long!
The same with Krystals
Cook Out is great for drunk college students. White Castle is great for high people. I doubt a sober adult would be impressed by either one.
A lot of tourists traps every where you go
Your driver told you to skip White Castle? Oh hell naw.
Been honky tonkin in texas for 60 years a shot of black jack and beer not sist drinks
Lolol a LITERAL nightmare 🥴🤣 You are so diplomatic & positive Shaun. It was God-awful. & I'm from & live in the south. Most of the crap they were playing wasn't even country music.🤦♀️ Nashville has REALLY gone downhill in the last decade or so.
White castle is OK if you don’t mind little bitty, boiled hamburgers
Hope you went to the classic Bluebird cafe and didn’t just focus on touristy Broadway. Now I know I won’t be going to Nashville, not like I was ever interested before.
I've never been in a honky tonk bar
Hope u brought a stack of bank notes with yas Cause I’ve heard it is quite expensive
I am from Mew Orleans have been on Boirbon at Mardi Gras and at other times Nd I can that still looks nuts (and not in a good way).
