I'm not much of one for loud or crowded bars. I prefer to relax and enjoy the smooth flavors of a unique drink. These are my favorite spots for a casual cocktail with my wife or a friend.
An underground speakeasy feel, exposed brick walls, and dim candlelit atmosphere - Old Glory is a mainstay. There's a live DJ on Fridays that gets this place hyped up, but I prefer the chill vibes you get on other nights. Try the whiskey sour.
Pinewood has it all, and their bar is no exception. I recommend sitting in one of the lounge areas. Give the "Artistic Differences" cocktail a try.
Sometimes you need a drink somewhere that takes itself less seriously - that's Greenhouse. Full of plants and casual conversation. Grab a local beer like Yazoo's Gerst Amber Ale or try the "Nashville Old Fashioned."
A quiet and humble spot in East Nashville, The Fox Bar has the chillest vibes of any bar in Nashville. Perfect for a night cap. The "Espresso Martini" will make your eyes water.
The best mixologists in Nashville work at Fable Lounge, and they wait on you hand and foot. Perfect for a relaxing drink in an eclectic dark atmosphere. Try the "Black Widow."
Located in historic Wedgewood-Houston, Bastion is one of the louder bars on this list, but great nonetheless. It's a great place to hang with big groups thanks to its open concept. Their "West of Western" never disappoints.
