Are you visiting the Bridgestone Arena for an event or maybe a Predators game and looking for vegan options? You are in the right place… but we are lacking what those specific options are. More on that is shared below.
We have provided you with the policies you may need to know if you’re thinking about bringing your own food or drinks into the arena. We also list their bag policies since these tend to go hand in hand.
Should you choose to eat before or after your event, we have given you a few vegan restaurant options towards the bottom of the guide. Nashville has great vegan restaurants!
Vegan Options at Bridgestone Arena
Bridgestone Arena’ concessions information takes you on a scavenger hunt with no answers in the end. Because of that, we have contacted the arena to ask what their vegan options are for the 2023-2024 season.
If you happen to visit and learn more before we hear back, please let us know

Vegan Options Near Bridgestone Arena
If you’re not from Nashville, you may be surprised to find out there are some AMAZING vegan restaurants in the city. Here are three that are at the top of our bucket list.
Copper Branch
601 Church St, Nashville, TN 37219
A 10 minute walk from Bridgestone Arena will have you in the arts district at a 100% fresh-food vegan restaurant that is on a mission to empower, energize and make people feel their best.
Copper Branch offers all-day breakfast, power bowls, burgers, soup, smoothies, coffees, tea, desserts and plenty of gluten-free items.
Upon further research on this restaurant, it appears to be more of a cafe inside a library rather than a restaurant itself. It does have great reviews on it’s food though so we wouldn’t let the cafe part deter you. They also have event nights from time to time with music, trivia or comedy.
You can see their Instagram for more information on those days.
Vegelicious, LLC
513B Fisk St, Nashville, TN 37203
Located just a mile and a half southwest of the arena is Vegelicious, LLC. They specialize in preparing hearty, mouth-watering, home-style 100% vegan and gluten-free cuisine that are delicious enough to satisfy even the most skeptical omnivore.
The pictures (and the reviews) for this place are unbelievable. The hot chicken, the home fries, the banana pudding… we can’t find anything on their menu we don’t want to try.
The Wild Cow
1100 Fatherland St SUITE 104 11/22, Nashville, TN 37206
If you head a couple miles in the other direction from the arena (on the other side of the river), you’ll find The Wild Cow. The Wild Cow serves up a wide variety of homemade vegan food from reubens to artichoke dip to lentil soup.
Here is a snippet from the owners that we really wanted to share:
We opened the Wild Cow to provide delicious, cruelty-free, healthy food to the people of Middle Tennessee. Nearly all of our food is purchased in it’s whole form, meaning we make almost all of our own sauces, dressings, soup stocks, etc. This means that we can name every ingredient in the food we serve.
Definitely worth checking out while you’re in Nashville!
