What's the closest hot chicken to Broadway's honky-tonks?
Prince's Hot Chicken has a location directly on Broadway, making it the closest option. Hattie B's Lower Broadway location is just 2 blocks away and very popular with tourists. For context on how the Broadway live music scene and hot chicken culture grew up together, see our Nashville music and hot chicken guide.
Should I eat hot chicken before or after drinking?
Definitely before! Alcohol can mask your spice tolerance, leading to ordering something too hot. Eat first, then hit the honky-tonks. The milk and bread will help absorb alcohol too.
Are Broadway hot chicken spots more expensive?
Yes, expect to pay $2-4 more per sandwich compared to neighborhood locations. You're paying for the convenience and tourist-friendly atmosphere. The quality is still excellent.
