Seven new restaurants add to a growing list of top places to eat, drink, shop, and enjoy the vibe at BNA®
NASHVILLE – BNA visitors can now satisfy their cravings at seven new restaurants at Nashville International Airport. The venues celebrate the flavors and flair of Music City and add to a growing list of top dining, retail, and entertainment options in one of the nation’s fastest-growing airports. Among them are the legendary Hattie B’s Hot Chicken, Slim & Husky’s Pizza, ACME Feed & Seed, BNA-exclusive restaurants and concepts tied to Tennessee’s professional sports teams. There’s also the TN Moonshine Bar, a salute to the area’s distilling heritage, and a new Time for a Shine shoeshine shop.
“These innovative concepts offer more ways for passengers to experience all that Nashville and Tennessee have to offer,” said Matt Jennings, Vice President of Fraport Tennessee. “Many also feature live music and retail offerings,” he adds. “We couldn’t be more excited to join with our partners at Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) in welcoming more Nashville famous cuisine like Hattie B’s and others and introduce concepts devoted to our beloved sports teams right here at the airport.”
