BOBBY GOES TO THE DOGS

Sure, lots of other hotels allow you to bring your dog with you as a guest (often with some restrictions and extra fees). But how many hotels have a dog who lives on site?

GARAGE SESSIONS BRING WRITERS IN THE ROUND TO GARAGE BAR

No one can accuse Nashville of not having enough live music. It’s Music City after all, people play music on the streets, in bars, at the Laundromat, and, yes, hotels. But sometimes it can be harder to find the intimate songwriter-fueled venue that’s really what Music City is about. Not the loud arenas with the…

IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!

In dog years, the fifth birthday may be equal to 35, but in hotel years, the fifth birthday means we’re just getting started. We’re celebrating the hotel turning five years ago by giving a tip of our conical birthday hat to the fun activities that got us to this point and offering a preview of…

NASHVILLE’S MUSIC MUSEUMS, AN INDOOR ADVENTURE

The weather outside is frightful…or is it? Nashville winter weather is unpredictable. There may be a blizzard; it may be balmy. If you’re visiting Music City from December through March, you may be able to sit outside at Bobby’s Rooftop Lounge or stroll downtown streets. Or you might want some options that allow you to…

ART IN BLOOM

It is not the regular curatorial assignment, to pull together a thoughtful art exhibit in a space with an enormous hubcap chandelier hanging over the stairwell. But that’s the assignment now that Nashville’s Tinney Contemporary gallery is partnering with Bobby. “It has its quirkiness and idiosyncrasies, so you have to have work that can stand…

LIGHT THE NIGHTS

It’s the season of lights. Whether they are bulbs on a Christmas tree, a flickering menorah, or Kwanzaa candles, many lights illuminate the season. If checking out light displays is part of your holiday routine, you’ve come to the right place. Middle Tennessee burns bright this time of year. Here’s a roundup of four of…

CAMP BOBBY IS BACK!

Firepits, stargazing and s’mores don’t have to be relegated into winter pastimes in the woods. The Rooftop Lounge at the Bobby brings the outdoors in all its winter glory to downtown Nashville with its annual Camp Bobby festivities. The 1970’s style camp includes iconic igloos and outdoor fire pits to keep your outsides warm. A…

BOBBY GOES TO THE DOGS

Sure, lots of other hotels allow you to bring your dog with you as a guest (often with some restrictions and extra fees). But how many hotels have a dog who lives on site? Well, the Bobby Hotel, for one. Hairy, Bobby Nashville’s official Dog-In-Residence, came to the hotel to live, Eloise style, in 2022…

A SPECTRAL AMERICANA REVUE

Rooftop Lounge at Bobby Hotel isn’t only about good drinks and even better Nashville views. The top floor of the hotel—known for its 1956 Scenicruiser bus—is the site of Bobby’s Backyard Sessions, live music that shows off Nashville’s best assets, its musicians. In October, Nicole Atkins joined the list of talent to appear at Bobby…

BEWARE THE BELL WITCH

No, not the Blair Witch, although you would be excused if you confused Nashville’s spookiest spirit with the one from the 1999 movie. In a nutshell, here’s the story. A woman named Kate Batts lived in Adams, Tennessee (located about 40 miles northwest of Nashville) in the 1800s. According to her, she was cheated out…
