Pie Town

Jack White—of White Stripes fame—initially launched Third Man Records in Detroit. The label moved to Nashville in 2009 and is now a sprawling complex that includes a record store, a distribution center, and a photo studio, as well as the actual offices. Come see a show, or book a tour to learn the ins and outs of the modern music industry.

Sake may be rooted in Japan, but the stuff served here has a taste of the South. Brewmaster Bryn Stithem ferments rice grown in Arkansas in a slew of barrels—some left over by local distillers—for a distinct yet subtle flavor. Stop in for a tasting and to learn about the process. It’s a pleasant surprise in a town more associated with beer and whiskey.
