Lot Boss › West End
4 verified parking spots in West End, Nashville: 2 free and 2 paid. Every one traces back to an official source or a named local, and locals keep it current.
Free lot for customers, right at the restaurant
BrickTops has its own lot connected to the restaurant, free for customers. Worth knowing because West End Ave itself is metered and the private lots around here are not cheap. Some parking sites claim this location has no on-site parking, which is wrong. The restaurant told us this directly by phone on 8/5/26.
Where Lot connected to the restaurant, 3000 West End Ave
Free park lots, walk to West End & Vandy
The big free lots inside Centennial Park, right across West End from Vanderbilt. Free and mostly untimed (a few 3-hour spots near the gates), and there are no meters anywhere in the park. Easiest free parking on this whole side of town, but it fills during festivals, Musicians Corner, and sunny weekends, so come early or try the quieter Poston Ave side.

Visitor parking, $4 an hour, any hour
Vanderbilt's marked visitor lots and garages run $4 an hour through ParkMobile and are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a small transaction fee on mobile payments. Worth knowing that several parking sites still quote the old $9 rate; Vanderbilt cut it. Stick to the signed visitor spaces, because the rest of campus is permit-only and they tow.

Metered on West End, free at the park instead
West End Ave and the Vanderbilt-area streets are metered, and the private lots by the restaurants aren't cheap. Honestly, your smarter move is the free Centennial Park lots right across the street. If you do feed a West End meter, read the pay station for both the time limit and the enforcement window, since neither is published anywhere official.
