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!“

“A cool wind down spot. Happy hour drink specials are legit, food was good; photo booth in the back corner, table games and pool table makes it a nice vibe and atmosphere. A little dark inside when I went, although loved the holiday themed decor!“

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

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

“As a local, there honestly aren’t many reasons that will get me to come into Nashville anymore… but two of them are Vanessa and Cash, the incredible mixologists at the Red Phone Booth.

Their drinks are hands down the best you’ll find anywhere in the city, but it’s more than just the cocktails — it’s the conversation, the atmosphere, and the experience they create every single time. They truly make you feel welcome the moment you walk in.

The experience at the Red Phone Booth is bar none and above anywhere else in Nashville. If you get the chance, pull up a seat at the bar with Vanessa or Cash mixing your drink — you won’t regret it.“

“Coffee related alcoholic beverages are my forte. I get one every time it’s an option. After reading a lot of posts on Reddit regarding the top cocktail bars in Nashville, me and my mates decided on Pullman Standard at my request. Even for folks not as obsessed with coffee drinks as myself, they were all absolutely blown away. This is the absolute best Espresso Martini in Nashville and I would argue it has to be one of the best in the country as well. She’s T H I C C, creamy, not a sugar bomb, and it deviates from the 3 bean garnish with a delightful, tasteful placement of coffee grounds. Nice, quiet, elegant environment and the bartender was super cool even after our group orders like 35 of these. Will return next time I’m in town.“

“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!!“

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

“You can’t beat the Skull room in Nashville. The food, service, music, and atmosphere 5 plus stars! Highly recommend“

“Cute place on a corner in North Nashville! The Burlesque N Brunch show is EVERYTHING and EXCITING!“

“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!“

“Scott was a super cool guy. He makes awesome drinks and was really nice to chat with. Stuff like that always makes me enjoy going out to bars. The place is a vibe - it’s nice and dark, has plenty of places to sit - and the drinks are very good. We didn’t have any food but the menu looks tasty! We will definitely be back!“

“Mesa was amazing and such a great waitress!“

“Stopped by the hotel bar for margaritas and the blossom appetizer. Both were great, and the sunset views made the experience even better. Cre was very friendly and attentive—when I made a (very generous!) mistake on the bill, she kindly corrected it. Really appreciated the service!“

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

“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“

“Cool bar to grab a drink after shopping. Good selection of local beers on tap and hand crafted cocktails. They now have a QR sticker that allows you to order food from Hattie B’s & Mojo’s Tacos! Order and pay from your phone and they bring it right out to you!“

“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!“

“Simon was great very customer friendly and great personality he was awesome.“

“We went here to see the lovely and talented Amelia Eisenhauer perform an artists round.

Nice views, bar and table seating, kind of rude hostess offset by nicer bartenders and servers.

Food was great, drinks were tasty and the sound was great.

We had truffle parmesan fries, Korean fried chicken bites and a burger.

Here's the Breakdown:

Tasty food in a cool space with good service +5 stars.

I'd go back“

“Good ambiance, good drinks and good food. Even better our waitress Stacy was awesome. I'd go back just to sit at her table and have drinks!“

“Restaurant is great, food is always good quality, and our server Jenna was perfect and got me a mocktail that exactly matched what I was wanting but I couldn’t describe. \n\nAnd the valets Eric, Jahi, and Nick were outstanding. We had left an item in our car that we needed during the TPAC show, and they offered to go get our car for us, bring it down so we could get the item, and then take the car back. WAY above and beyond what we expected. Thanks, guys - you’re awesome!!“

“Husk of Nashville is an upscale restaurant in the historic part of downtown Nashville. There is a lot of history tied to the location and our waiter/host was very knowledgeable. The food is delicious and there was something for everyone to enjoy. I attended a private event and the space was perfect. There was a separate entrance and the atmosphere was welcoming.“

“The service was fantastic. The food was so delicious. We had a variety of food and not one thing disappointed. It is hard to go any where that every bite is delicious but that is what happened here.If you get a chance you should check it out.“

“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.“

“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“

“Everything was delicious! And my husband (who’s not vegan) even liked his food. It came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be back“

“1/2 Rack, Mac and cheese, pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, cornbread- ALL UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!! Oh and the bread pudding!!!“

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

“My kids took me for my birthday. Walking in, the ladies at the front were very nice wishing me a happy birthday. Our waiter, Clifton, could not have been any nicer or attentive. My menu came with a Happy Birthday Anna written on it. The whole experience was really special. Everyone was just friendly and did their job over and above expectations. The food was very good. My daughter and I split a 12 oz Cowgirl ribeye which was perfect. My son got the Cowboy ribeye and he said it was amazing. The Mac n cheese was good. My DIL got the pasta primavera and she liked it. The butter cake was great and the waiter surprised me with Crème Brûlée. All very good. Great atmosphere. Definitely will be going back. Thank you for making my birthday memorable!“

“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!“

“Yes!! The hostess Beverlyn welcomes you like you’re family and is amazing. Our server was informative and great! French onion burger was wonderful!!!“

“Cole and Hannah did an incredible job. Food was outstanding!!“

“Loved this place! My friend who lives in Nashville took me here. The menu was awesome, loved the speak easy vibes. Great staff. My bacon old fashioned was to die for. I wish I had this place close to home! Would go again and again“

“When we were first seated, we were placed in the back room away from the music, and honestly it wasn’t the experience we came for. But the moment we spoke with Derek and Nicole, everything changed. Their customer service was beyond exceptional. They listened, understood exactly what we wanted, and the management team went above and beyond to make it right by moving us to an incredible table right up front by the stage. From that moment on, the service was flawless. Constant check-ins, genuine hospitality, and tableside wine service. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. And the food? Outstanding. Every dish was executed perfectly. The cocktails were just as impressive, crafted beautifully and absolutely top tier. The atmosphere, live music, energy, and overall experience created the kind of night you hope for when booking a supper club. As a foodie from Houston, a city with one of the best food scenes in the country, I do not say this lightly: this place blew me away. Houston sets a high bar, and Twelve Thirty Club met it and then some. If you’re in Nashville, this is not just a place to eat, it’s a full experience. Five stars, top of the line, and absolutely worth every minute.“

“great drinks, great staff, great bar.“

“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.“

“I've stopped twice at the Donelson, TN location now. Staff are nice, inside is very nice and clean, food is really good.“

“Marsh House always delivers and I always look forward to dining there. We were seated promptly, and our server was very efficient and friendly. As we always do, we started our brunch with a biscuit order and the cinnamon roll for the table to share, and as always, they were delicious! We all went the breakfast route and we very much enjoyed our omelets and eggs. Another fantastic meal at Marsh House.“

“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.“

“yummm food is good will come back“

“Thanks to Edleys on Woodland for their kindness today! My young neice accidentally left her small handbag on the bench, and we were over two hours away when she realized that she'd left it. I called the restaurant and offered to send payment for shipping if they would mail it. They plan on mailing it to her Monday...no charge, compliments of the restaurant! They didn't have to do that, but it is so appreciated, and our food and service were great too. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you Edleys BBQ!!“
