My brother and two of our old room mates from college are planning a trip through Tenn and Ky in the spring, likely late April. We're all in our late 20's-early 30's and while we can be exceptionally sophisticated, we also have slightly rowdy tendencies when we're together. That being said, does anyone have recommendations on bars, restaurants or even distilleries that aren't as easily found in searches? Craft distilleries are a plus as are places with personality, and not "fake" personality like Hard Rock Cafe (apologies to any fans).
We aren't TGIF/Ruby tuesday fans and love to eat "locally" especially hole in the walls and dive spots where food and drink is king.
Thanks
