Saturday in Wedgewood Houston: Final Sales and Live Music

Nashville’s creative Wedgewood Houston neighborhood—affectionately known as "WeHo"—offers the perfect blend of treasure hunting and live entertainment this Saturday, July 26th.

Fuel Up: Coffee at Elegy's

Start your WeHo adventure with expertly crafted coffee at Elegy Coffee's newest location at 516 Hagan Street. This popular Nashville coffee shop recently expanded to Wedgewood-Houston, taking over the former Dozen Bakery space. With established locations in East Nashville, Germantown, and Downtown, Elegy brings their renowned coffee culture to the heart of WeHo, making it the perfect spot to caffeinate before your day of neighborhood exploration.

Start Your Day: La Parisienne Moving Sale Final Hours

Begin your WeHo adventure at La Parisienne's moving sale on Merritt Avenue, strategically positioned above Iggie's and directly across from The Finery. Today marks the final day of this exceptional sale featuring deep discounts on large luxury furniture pieces.

For those familiar with the neighborhood's industrial-chic aesthetic, this presents a rare opportunity to score high-end pieces that complement WeHo's converted warehouse living spaces. The Merritt Avenue location—in the heart of the neighborhood's commercial corridor—makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the area's other attractions.

Afternoon Style: Simon Says at Standard Assembly

Make a mid-day stop at Simon Says, the upscale men's boutique located within the modern Standard Assemblydevelopment at 715 Merritt Avenue (at Hagen & Merritt). This thoughtfully curated shop offers both local and national products, perfect for adding some WeHo style to your wardrobe before the evening's festivities.

Late Lunch: Mercado by Butcher Town

Fuel up for the night ahead with a late lunch at Mercado by Butcher Town. This neighborhood favorite provides the perfect energy boost before transitioning into evening entertainment mode.

Evening Entertainment: Rubik's Groove at Jackalope Brewing

Head over to Jackalope Brewing Company's "The Ranch" location at 429B Houston Street for an evening of nostalgic entertainment. Rubik's Groove takes the stage from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM, promising what they call the ultimate "Outside of the Box" experience.

This character-driven musical act specializes in hits from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, delivering a 360-degree performance complete with live music, costumes, videos, and audience engagement. It's exactly the type of eclectic entertainment that defines WeHo's cultural identity.

About Your Venues

Jackalope Brewing Company stands as one of Nashville's pioneering female-founded breweries, established in 2011 by Bailey Spaulding and Robyn Virball. Their Wedgewood Houston location, known as "The Ranch," offers a spacious taproom experience with locally hand-crafted beers, weekly live music, and a dog-friendly outdoor patio—a significant upgrade from their original cramped location.

The Wedgewood Houston neighborhood itself has evolved from its industrial roots anchored by the historic May Hosiery Mills into Nashville's creative hub. Located just blocks south of downtown, this former manufacturing district now houses art galleries, studios, restaurants, distilleries, and breweries within converted warehouse spaces.

Dance Until Dawn: Flamingo Cocktail Club

End your WeHo adventure at Flamingo Cocktail Club (509 Houston Street) for late-night dancing that extends well into the early morning hours. This former church feels like someone took a small slice of South Beach and plopped it right in the middle of Wedgewood-Houston, creating Nashville's most distinctive dance destination.

Open Wednesday through Saturday from 5pm to 3am, Flamingo offers the perfect finale to your WeHo day with seasonal cocktails, plant-based food, and a dance floor that encourages you to come early and stay late. Just remember the neighborhood courtesy: don't wake up the neighbors when you finally head home.

Getting Around WeHo

For the full WeHo experience, park at The Finery garage for convenient access to multiple venues, though rideshare services offer the smartest option for a day that includes both furniture shopping and late-night dancing. The neighborhood's compact layout makes it easy to move between venues on foot, though having a designated driver or rideshare plan ensures you can fully enjoy Flamingo's 3am closing time without worrying about getting home safely.
