Food scene

This is a great little cafe for a modern Southern brunch. It's about a 20 minute walk from the house if you feel like going for a stroll. The inside is small so get there before 10 am or expect a line.

This is a very unique German-themed tap room that is inside an old Church. There is a large beer list and a delicious German-inspired pub food menu. It has a beautiful patio that connects it to their sister cafe - the Gralehaus.

If you are looking for classier fare with a decent price point, check out LouVino on Bardstown Rd. Tip: Try to make it to their Happy Hour on Weekdays (including Fridays!) for some great deals on food and drinks!

This German-inspired restaurant and brewery is one of our favorite places for some elevated pub food. It's about a 17 minute walk from the house, if you so choose. If you go, you must get the spelt bread and beer cheese!

This is a classier establishment but well worth the slightly elevated prices. You can find the food-cart version of it at Gravely (a brewery).

Neighborhoods

Germantown was once known for it's blue-collar inhabitants but in the last few years it has turned into a magnet for young professionals looking for a neighborhood feel that is walking distance to local bars and restaurants. Traditional shotgun houses, known for their narrow footprint, line almost every street, representing centuries of affordable housing for immigrants in this city.

15 Minute Walk (or less) from the House

This is a fairly new indoor market. It's a fun place to stop in for some delicious local food and then walk around to all the local vendor booths as you sip on wine, beer, or coffee.

This lovely cafe is two blocks away from this house. If you prefer to not make your own coffee or breakfast, just pop on in for some fresh local eats. Definitely try some of the bread from Blue Dog Bakery while you're there!

This is our absolute favorite place to hang out. This bar is in a converted old gas station. There isn't a lot of indoor space but the outdoor patio is great for sipping on drinks under the sun or into the night. The owners are very dedicated to creating a fun, hip environment. There are often fun events scheduled here such as live music or themed events (like a birthday party dedicated to Dolly Parton!). Also on the premises is a shop sporting local artist's creations and thoughtfully curated vintage clothing and wares. (Look for the local artist rendition of this spot in the house!)

If you love a dive bar, this place is a must visit! Nachbar is where the local hipsters of Germantown go to congregate. Step inside here and you'll feel like you're walking into a 70s blue collar bar. The drinks are cheap and the outdoor patio is great.

This is where we always find ourselves at the end of a night out. Warning: this is a dive bar through and through. If you go before 11 pm you might find that you're the only ones in there, but past that time is when all of the young locals come streaming in to dance to an eclectic variety of vintage music. Any time of day, this bar is sure to bring a smile to your face with all of its quirky art and old music videos playing on projectors. The drinks are the cheapest around, too!

Ok ok ok. This bakery is about an 18 minute walk from the house but I had to include it because it is so worth the walk. The pastries are to die for and the sandwhiches and salads are some of the best around. And the good news is...you'll burn off some of the goodies on your walk there or back!

This is our absolute favorite brewery. They brew experimental flavors from IPAs to sours. We highly recommend giving it a try! It's also less than a 15 minute walk from the house!
