Inspired by the History of Jefferson Street

Yay Yay’s On Jefferson was opened with a focus on honoring Southern Black American culture and celebrating Jefferson Street’s indelible mark on Nashville.

The Cafe and Event Space physically connect the business to its roots and history of Jefferson Street’s commercial corridor, an area that was once the thoroughfare for Black culture and commerce in Nashville, now serving as the location for this culinary venture.
