"Von Elrod’s beer hall and garden is Nashville’s elite day drinking spot. Gather the group, grab a beer on tap that you won’t get anywhere else in the city (Weihenstephaner, anyone?), and share a platter of homemade sausages. You can even order a Big Ass Mimosa in a stein and commit to hanging out until the string lights come on." - ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2
