    Coolidge Park

    Walk up to Coolidge Park. This is the spot on the North Shore where you will watch the sun go down. The park has an interactive water fountain and plenty of space to sit on the grass or rocks by the Tennessee River. The sun sets toward the WNW, which aligns with the river view here.

    Barley

    Head to Barley for a craft beer. It is a short walk from the park. Barley has a large selection of rotating taps and is open until midnight on Saturdays. It is the perfect place to unwind after the sunset.
