Your Guide to Vintage Shopping in Nashville

Nashville’s music scene might steal the spotlight, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find another kind of rhythm — one that lives in the city’s vintage shops. From worn-in denim and western boots to mid-century home goods and bold statement pieces, Nashville’s vintage scene is as eclectic and soulful as the city itself.

Staying at Drift Hotel in the East Bank puts you right in the middle of it all. Just minutes from the city’s coolest vintage boutiques, you can start your treasure hunt in our backyard, grab a coffee from Dawn Café, and make a day of exploring East Nashville, 12 South, and Germantown’s best finds.
