  Our indoor/outdoor rooftop has been voted the best in Nashville for five years in a row (really six times if you count the writer's pick, but who's counting? ), making it the ideal venue for an evening of celebration or even just an end-of-the-day cocktail. The fact that LA Jackson is situated in the middle of the Gulch ensures that you and your friends will have a fantastic time there regardless of the event.

And, of course, you always have the option to request your preferred traditional beverage from the bartender. You won't be able to forget the champagne glitter chicken (a great photo opportunity), which is one of our party snacks, along with our world-famous garlic parmesan fries, hushpuppie butter board, and other delicious options. Attention: this restaurant serves the most delicious double-patty smashburger you'll ever taste. Every afternoon, we'll be the ones to set the tone, then on Friday and Saturday nights, some of Nashville's most talented DJs will take your experience to the next level. Follow us on Instagram at @lajacksonbar to stay up to date on the latest in the world of entertainment.

  Storytellers Museum and Hideaway Farm sits on a 107-acre property in Bon Aqua, Tennessee that was once Johnny Cash's private retreat for more than 30 years. The Hideaway Farm's centerpiece is a circa-1837 white log farmhouse, restored alongside the American Garage, which displays historic artifacts including the "One Piece at a Time" Cadillac. A newly renovated barn venue with two stages, a dance floor, and an air-conditioned green room anchors the property's event space, set among wooded trails, open fields, and a bonfire area with a firepit built by Cash himself. Down the road, the Storytellers building traces its own history to an 1800s general store that became Red Wortham's recording studio in the 1960s, and later the site of Johnny and June Carter Cash's "Saturday Night in Hickman County" concert series. Restored in 2016, it now operates as an enclosed, weather-proof event space with an adjoining covered courtyard, making it a fitting setting for intimate weddings, songwriter nights, and private gatherings that carry the property's musical history forward. Both locations include on-site audio setup run by venue staff, rental furnishings such as tables, chairs, and benches, and the option to add event tents for outdoor weather contingency. Guests can also tour the farmhouse and museum exhibits dedicated to Cash's life on select days.
