What do most tourists miss out on when they visit your city?
Here in my city of Nashville, Tennessee, tourists come from all over the world to experience the country music downtown and to see the replica of the Parthenon from Greece. While Music City nightlife and historical monuments are always fun to visit, I think tourists are missing out on a fun bar called Santa's Pub. Adorned year-round with Christmas decorations, Santa's Pub is a karaoke bar owned by a sweet old man with a white beard and his wife who will always smile and applaud no matter how terribly you and your drunk friends are singing.
During the night, you'll see several crowds of people come and go. First, there's the old school crowd. These are the ones who will sing the ballads only your parents know the words to. While the Baby Boomer crowd gets closer to their bedtime, It's time for the college kids and tourists to get up there and sing classics from the 90s and mid 2000s. Things can get a little emotional as singers dedicate songs to people who are no longer in their lives. At other times, you can feel the whole room vibrate and tremble as people stomp, clap, and sing until they can't anymore.
If you ever come to visit Nashville, don't forget to visit Santa's pub where everyone will love to sing along to the song you've been listening to for the past couple of months.
