_Insider_: Seek out a real taste of Nashville with Hattie B’s in Concourse C or Prince’s Hot Chicken in the C/D connector; they're crowd favorites beyond the city’s borders. - _Time_: Build in an extra 30–45 minutes to enjoy live music and local beer at Tootsies Orchid Lounge or Ole Red in Concourse C instead of waiting idly at the gate. - _Local_: Enjoy a Nashville brewery crawl right in the airport with stops at TailGate Brewery and Yazoo Brewing Company available in various concourses. - _Avoid_: To minimize wait times at popular eateries, opt to grab a meal from Chick-fil-A, Shake Shack, or Burger King just after passing through security. - _Quiet_: Minute Suites offers peaceful cabins for rest or work, often bookable through card or Priority Pass perks. - _Money_: Use Economy Lots B or C for cheaper parking costs and rely on frequent free shuttles, especially during weekend crowds. - _Insider_: The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum store acts as a mini-museum if you don't have time to visit downtown. ## Travellers notes mentioning BNA - [How to Carve Out Real Work Space Inside Nashville International Airport (BNA)](https://airport.flights/notes/bna-at-nashville-international) — by Marcus Trenton, 2026-07-08 A gate agent’s take on turning Nashville International Airport’s single 59-gate terminal into a workable remote office using its 12 catalogued dining options, 4 lounges, and scattered quiet corners. -
