Bridgestone Arena brings Nashville's food identity inside with hot chicken, BBQ, and meat-and-three plates alongside standard arena fare. Jack Daniel's (distilled in nearby Lynchburg, TN) is the signature spirit, Jack & Coke is basically the official drink of Smashville. Yazoo Brewing represents Nashville's craft beer scene. The surrounding Broadway area has arguably the best pregame dining scene in the NHL, from honky-tonk bar food to upscale Southern cuisine.
Tips & Fan Reports
Don't feel obligated to tip at the food stands. The folks working the events are not the ones who receive them - tips are taken as donations to whichever organization runs each stand.
Robert's Western World Recession Special is the best food deal within walking distance of any NHL arena.
Yazoo Brewing's Dos Perros amber ale is the local beer to try at the arena.
Post-game hot chicken at Prince's (the original) is the move if you're still up for it. They're open late.
Jack & Coke is practically the official drink of Smashville. Jack Daniel's is distilled 80 miles south in Lynchburg.
Broadway has better food at lower prices than the arena. Eat pregame and just grab drinks inside.
Nashville hot chicken is the signature food. Order it medium if you're new. Hot and extra hot are serious business.
