50 Best Cocktail Bars near Brentwood

“Food was excellent. Great cocktails. Genevieve provided us with an excellent experience Thanks“

“The bartender tonight was amazing. I had a great chat with him, and it seems he's leaving to a new adventure soon. Not great for this place, since he has a real passion for what he does, and I think they're losing a great guy. Best of luck on your new adventures! Food was about as expected, not the drinks were phenomenal!“

“As someone who frequents on average 20 bars or restaurants a week and is part of the industry here locally, it is with sincere passion, and honesty that I openly express my backing and support in saying Barrel Proof is the absolute best bar in this city for any local (and/or industry worker), but also a blast for tourists to come soak in what it is truly like to be “one of us”; and from there, the staff will gladly direct you to more friendly and fun spots!“

“Easily the best cocktail bar in Nashville. Impressive menu of 16 new cocktails from the mixologist, 16 classics along with beer and wine. Comfy intimate atmosphere. The Miso Fine is a can’t miss whiskey cocktail. The Midnight in Madeira is another amazing drink.

Must visit, hope to see this place grow!“

“This is our go-to. Unique and excellent menu. I NEVER eat turkey except: A. For Thanksgiving, and B. When we're at Kokomo. Theirs is ridiculous.“

“One of my favorite local restaurants! The food is consistently fab as is the service. Erica was great and my tonkatsu main corse was delicious. The focaccia bread appetizer is a must. My husband ordered the burger and was pleased. My friend ordered the salmon and said it was delicious. Oh and the cheesecake was divine!“

“My friend Brought me here and wow!!!! Such a great spot!“

“Visited Stable in April 2024. Nice vibe. Staff was top-notch. The flight was a great sampler. Would definitely come back!“

“We checked this place out last Saturday and it was everything we'd hoped for. I'm currently adding an Absinthe program to a new concept I'm building and the gentlemen that took care of us (ashamed that I forgot his name) was a rockstar! He took the time to educate us on different techniques and the differences between Absinthes of different origins. We asked him to surprise us with chocolate and Absinthe pairings and he surely did not disappoint. If you are new to this world, have no fear. They have subject matter experts that can guide you through the experience. We'll be back next time we're in town!!“

“The atmosphere is very nice and the food is delicious!“

“I visited Red Phone Booth and was impressed by their craft cocktails. The bartenders skillfully mixed flavors, delivering a balanced, refreshing drink every time. The ambiance felt like a cozy lounge with a speakeasy vibe, making it a great spot for an evening out. Our server Bryce was friendly and attentive, and I left feeling eager to return for more of their best cocktails.“

“Old Fashioned was amazing“

“Awesome place, full of character“

“I was visiting Nashville for the first time and wanted to go to a bar that had interesting high quality cocktails with pure ingredients. One More delivered.I stayed for many hours sampling the nice menu. I was by myself, hanging out for a couple hours before my show. I chatted with Kory and enjoyed myself. Great service even when they started getting busy. As a person that has been in the service industry, it's clear Kory cared about the guests and making a fine cocktail.While you may spend some money here, it's worth every penny in my mind. When you go, order the smoky Manhattan or I made the name 'Smoky Night'.Thanks Kory and team!“

“Brunch and Drag show were so much fun! Our bachelorette party, loved the vibe!“

“We went to Haper's this weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! This was the perfect pick for a special occasion, everything from the ambiance to the service was top-tier. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious across the board. What truly made the night unforgettable was our server, Branson. He was phenomenal...knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. His thoughtful recommendations and kind and fun demeanor elevated the entire evening. He even ended the night with a sweet surprise for the birthday girl, which was such a thoughtful touch! We highly recommend Haper's for any important dinner or celebration, you'll be in great hands!“

“BEST espresso martini I’ve ever had!!! There’s outdoor seating for drinks on the rooftop with nice views of the city, and happy hour has amazing prices for food + drinks. Thistle & Rye is a true hidden gem in Midtown!

Service was also incredible— shoutout to our server Maree for being so wonderful and accommodating.😊 We will be back!“

“Husk is a must try if you’re in Nashville and wanting a nice dinner spot. It is pricey but it’s worth it. The delicata squash appetizer was to die for! The service was good, our waiter was a bit cold and not very chatty or friendly which is why I only gave it 4 stars.“

“It’s like a little Asheville in Nashville!“

“We came here for a girls' night out and were absolutely blown away! The restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view of the Nashville skyline, creating a beautiful ambiance. The food was exceptional! The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was incredibly fresh with great flavor--an absolute must-try!! The duck fat fries were perfectly crispy and served with three delicious sauces, each one better than the last. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, juicy and tender, and the seared scallop on the side was a delightful addition. This spot is perfect for a girls' night out or a rom“

“Layla was amazing!! Very friendly and attentive! Put up with our shenanigans for several hours!! Great music!!“

“The food was very good. I had the chicken Cobb styled salad and it was very enjoyable. The staff was all very polite and friendly, but I got the feeling they weren’t very well organized. That being said the price was reasonable from what you got I had no real complaints.“

“This place is very cool. Fantastic drinks great atmosphere awesome snacks and friendly servers. Love the way you have your flip a setting get in“

“Had the ribs and collards yesterday evening , both were outstanding. Highly enjoyed“

“We liked the atmosphere of Ellington’s. Our waiter did the perfect balance of attending to us and allowing us to enjoy our dinner. The bread appetizer we had was delicious. We ordered the steak frites and the pistachio gnocchi and both were wonderful. My date said the steak was good perfectly to his liking. The gnocchi was a large size and I wish I could have taken the rest home with me. The dessert options left a lot to be desired but we ordered the ricotta cheesecake. We honestly did not like it but don’t think it ruined our dinner.

We came here for a date night before seeing a show at TPAC. It is pretty close so you can walk to the theatre.“

“The drinks were amazing! The menu is unique and lots of yummy options. The hush puppies w/ lump crab! Who knew?“

“Excellent food and service! The chefs are artist. ❤️“

“Hands down the best all around dinner experience in Nashville. Presentation was off the charts! This was our first time visiting, they had a “Christmas Eve” menu which looked delicious but we came with our hearts set on the steak; no questions asked the kitchen was happy to adjust, we received the best steak we have tasted yet! The staff was beyond wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect. Love love loved Yolan; this will be a must have every time we visit Nashville! Thank you Yolan for the perfect Christmas Eve experience!“

“great drinks, great staff, great bar.“

“Avo in Nashville is a must-visit! The cheese platter is absolutely incredible—perfectly curated and packed with flavor. It’s definitely a must-do when you’re there. The pesto penne primavera was amazing, with fresh, vibrant flavors that really stood out. And don’t miss out on the avocado margarita—it’s a unique and delicious twist on a classic cocktail that you’ll want to try! The vibe is laid-back yet trendy, and the food and drinks are top-notch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vegan food and a fun experience!“

“Best burgers in downtown! Highly recommend the wagyu burgers!“

“While visiting family in Nashville we dined at Gunnons. This was my second visit, and I again was not disappointed. The prime rib is superb and much more than I could eat. Our table shared the eggplant olivia and I have to say that it is the best eggplant dish I have ever eaten.“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

“The service was great. The food was fantastic especially the seafood Louie salad. The table ribeye was very good but had tons of chimichuri sauce it did not need, it was not listed as a topping on the menu. Wish we would have known because the meat was very good and did not need the toppings. All the desserts were fabulous.“

“Miller was our waiter. We had not dined there previously. There were four of us. We opted for the “ grub experience”. ( I think is what it was called). Miller chose a family style meal for the four of us to share. It was beyond fantastic. This topped Off a week of some fine dining and it surpassed all. We cannot wait to dine in again. Miller was absolutely outstanding in his skill and service.“
