The Gulch

The relatively small enclave is now dotted with taprooms and boutique clothing shops.

Welcome to The Gulch

The influx of new money into the Nashville scene is nowhere better personified than by the uprising of this hip and thoroughly lively area. Nestled very near downtown, surrounded by the Cumberland River and the train tracks that once serviced the historic Union Station (now an upscale hotel), one would think that young urbanites would have always wanted to live in an area so conveniently located.

Yet the Gulch’s rise to prime real estate status has been meteoric, with most of the bars and restaurants springing up only in the last five years. The relatively small enclave is now dotted with taprooms and boutique clothing shops. Still, those who inhabit the Gulch would say that the uptick in cost pays dividends in both personal and commercial entertainment, and embodies the positive side of the national hot-spot wave that Nashville is currently riding.
