Drew Baldridge grew up with a dream to move to Nashville one day, and six years ago, he finally made his wish into reality by becoming a country music singer in the heart of Music City.

Through his time here, Baldridge has grown accustomed to the river town and all it has to offer. While he does spend a lot of his time traveling on the road to promote his music, the singer cherishes the quality days he lands in Nashville whenever his schedule frees up for a hot minute.

From the various venues scattered around the boroughs of the area to some of the hottest restaurants planting their roots on the famous Nashville streets, Baldridge has come to find his favorite spots to chill out at whenever he wants to relax. He may adventure out to the new locations that pop up month by month, but in the end, the “Guns & Roses” singer always finds his way back to his favorites.

Check out where Drew Baldridge likes to go on a night out in his installment of Nashville Favorites:

Ryman Auditorium: “The Ryman is the top one, just because it’s so iconic. The first time I played there, I was scared to death. It’s all history and everybody who’s played on that stage.”

Desano Pizza Bakery: “I like pizza. Pizza is my number one. My number one place to go is Desano’s. It’s amazing, I love it. They’re the fastest pizza makers on the planet. It’s crazy. You sit down and bam, there’s your pizza. Holy cow.”

The Pharmacy Burger Parlor and Beer Garden: “I really like The Pharmacy. I love cheeseburgers. Pizza and cheeseburgers, it’s a balanced diet. I love the cheeseburgers, love the atmosphere of being outside. It’s real homey.”

Puckett’s of Leipers Fork: “When I first came to town, one of my favorite places to go was out to Leiper’s Fork to Puckett’s out there. I know it’s not downtown Nashville, but it was just small-town vibe. They always have Christmas lights up. It was like this small town way out in the middle of nowhere. It was a songwriter’s night at Puckett’s at Leiper’s Fork. It was a really cool hang. Country cooking. It’s like the Puckett’s downtown here but way out in the country.”

Maggiano’s Little Italy: “I really like Maggiano’s. I know it’s kind of a chain. They have this deal where you get an appetizer to share, two pastas, dessert, and you each get a pasta to take home for like $50. It’s crazy. It’s really good.”
