I think Elliston place if anything has character. Try taking a good look around and notice truly weird mix of shops, restaurants, bars, and music venues that have all found a home in Elliston Place. In the same area that you can get a milkshake at a soda shop from 1939, you can also shop for wannabe rocker apparel, get a shot a dive bar, take a Yoga class, smoke some hookah, or stand in line for an off the beaten path show. Honestly I thin Elliston place is awesome.

A lot of people seem to think that Elliston Place is obnoxiously hip or constantly overrun with drunken college students.  The drunken part may be true on weekend nights (I couldn't say) and when there're big shows at The End or Exit/In.  But I think the stretch of Elliston Place between Louise Ave. and 21st is possibly THE most interesting part of town - it has so much character and defies categorization, despite some people's attempts to be to cool for school by saying jaded things about the area.  Elliston Place is punk (Smack) yet hip (Exit/In), tacky (Flashback) yet charming (Elder's Bookstore), wholesome (Elliston Place Soda Shop) yet gritty (Gold Rush).  Basically, it's one of Nashville's biggest assets.

Historic gem in the nashville area.  very nastalgic.don't look at the floor, or in the kitchen, and don't even think about visiting the ladies rooms.simply order your hand-dipped milkshake and chill out.
