Dine-Around Nashville

On the evenings of Friday, February 3rd and Sunday, February 5th, we've lined up some of Nashville's best restaurants for your dining pleasure.

Our optional Dine-Around offers many choices and participating is easy.

Take advantage of our on-line dinner reservations service before you arrive in Nashville and get a head start on your Music City ABA plans!

Through our reservations service either on-line prior to the conference or on-site in our Nashville Host City Booth at ABA Marketplace-you will receive entrée discounts, complimentary appetizers or complimentary desserts in many of Nashville's restaurants with your ABA Badge.

Dinner is at your cost, but we will be your personal Music City concierge to make reservations and provide complimentary transportation to get you there and home again. Let us help you get a great taste of Music City!

One: Make your reservations in advance with the buttons below or above.

Two: Visit us in person in our ABA Nashville Host City Booth,  just inside the entrance of the Ryman C Exhibit Hall of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.

Feel free to visit the Dine-Around desk with any questions, to make reservations or to inquire further about transportation. Nashville experts will be available during the times below to assist you with your plans and reservations.

Four: Get on the Bus.

Complimentary Transportation for Dine-Around will begin at 6:00 pm at the Gaylord Opryland Resort's Presidential Portico or in the lobby of the Radisson Hotel. You will travel to Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville, arriving approximately 20 minutes after departure.

If your restaurant is downtown, you will be a short walk away to any of the participating restaurants.

If your restaurant is in the area just outside of downtown (Midtown/West End Area), a Nashville expert will then direct you to a short dedicated bus ride to your restaurant.

Volunteers will be stationed at Riverfront Park Downtown to assist with directions to all restaurants.

Buses will run to and from both hotels and downtown on a continuous basis from 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm.

Five: Eat, Drink & Be Merry...

We assume no directions necessary!

Six: Return to your hotel or downtown.

When you are returning to your hotel or heading downtown to enjoy more Nashville nightlife, remember how you got to the restaurant: the same system will get you back! Shortly before you are ready to depart the restaurant, tell the host or hostess. They'll call for your shuttle which will take you back to Riverfront Park and on to your hotel.
