The Experience

Picture this: a vintage trolley rolling through East Nashville's brick-lined streets, the kind of vehicle that looks like it belongs in a 1950s postcard, except it's packed with people hunting for the next cold beer and a story. The Nashville brewery hop-on hop-off trolley departs once daily from the Omni Hotel on 5th Avenue at 11:50am, and from there it loops through seven different stops—Honeytree Meadery, Stoke Haus Brewing & BBQ, Tailgate East, Southern Grist, East Nashville Beer Works, Bearded Iris Brewing, and Monday Night Preservation Society. You get unlimited rides all day on your ticket, which means you're not locked into a schedule or a route. You hop off where you want, spend as long as you want, and catch the next trolley when you're ready.

What makes this different from a standard brewery tour is the freedom. Most guided beer tours march you through three stops in four hours with a set pace and a group mentality. This one lets you pick your own breweries, your own pace, your own neighborhood vibe. The trolley itself is air-conditioned and has music playing over the speakers, and the conductor shares brewery insights as you roll between stops. You're not driving, not negotiating parking, not worrying about who's the designated driver—that part is handled. The route takes you outside the typical tourist drag and into actual neighborhoods where locals hang out, which changes the whole feel of the day.

If you don't want to wait for the 11:50am downtown departure, you can meet the trolley at any of the seven brewery stops and jump on there instead. That flexibility is huge if you're already in East Nashville or if you want to start your day somewhere else and catch the loop later. Bottled water is included, and the trolley runs all day with return trips in the evening, so you're not stuck with a rigid timeline. Just show up at a stop, board when the trolley arrives, and go from there.

What’s included

• Your day includes unlimited rides on the vintage trolley throughout the day of your ticket, bottled water, air-conditioned seating, music over the speakers, and brewery insights from the trolley conductor.

• The trolley departs downtown at 11:50am daily and makes return trips in the evening, or you can board at any brewery stop along the route instead.
