Seasonal walk-up dairy barWest Nashville$$$$
Bobbie's Dairy Dip
A pink-and-green walk-up dairy bar on Charlotte Avenue since 1951: dipped cones, hot fudge shakes and picnic tables. Open in warm months.
#8 in Bakeries + sweets
What to get
- Hot fudge milkshake (Scene's 2025 classic milkshake)
- A dipped soft-serve cone (chocolate and cherry dips rotate)
- Memphis Mafia shake (banana, peanut butter, bacon)
When to go
It only opens in warm months; the Scene's Aug 2026 guide says go before winter shuts it.
Insider tip
Everything is outdoors: order at the window of the retro pink-and-green shack and eat at the picnic tables (Infatuation). Burgers and hot dogs too.
