26 Best Wine Bars in Nashville

“Big fan of the original in NYC and was really happy to see Boqueria not far from my hotel on a trip to Nashville for a medial meeting. Menu is always fun, and every morsel was terrific. Service was friendly, relaxed and attentive. Boqueria is always the right answer.“

“The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!“

“I always love coming here while in Nashville. Service is impeccable. Each dish a carefully thought masterpiece of flavors. The menu changes but they have consistently still served the fried bologna sandwich. This southern favorite is elevated here. A thick cut bologna made for this restaurant is fried to perfection and served on soft white bread adorned loving with potato chip aioli.
The roasted beets with eucalyptus, Pluto, mint, and arugula was delightful. Definitely order the scallop stuffed crepe. The sauce is silky deliciousness with a hint of spice.
The highlight this visit was the mushrooms, just wow. The wine list is an extensive array of beautiful paired choices.
Don't forget dessert. Innovative sweets like fried ice cream with pickled fruits, and chocolate mochi cake with a subtle hint of Asian spices.“

“Super cute atmosphere and yummy food!“

“I enjoyed this place. I really wouldn't call it a restaurant per se since it is in a mall court, but it did well carving out its own niche. That being said, the offerings and pairings were delightful. We sampled about 7 or 8 plates. I mistakenly thought that you got wine to sample with certain cheeses, but that was not the case. This place is not my husband's thing, but he loosened up and picked several things for us to try. I think it's worth a trip just to experience.“

“We had a little extra time at the airport and grabbed a great meal at Vino Fiesta. Nahom was super attentive, engaging, and predicted our needs before we had to ask. He made recommendations to fit our dietary needs and it was super tasty. We’ll try it out again next time we are coming through.“

“I've been to the Vineyard for Mothers Day and thought it was amazing. But after a quick drink in a hurry I left my prescription sunglasses. I called Rick when I got to my destination and said he would hold them. When I got back a week later Calvin had them behind the counter. Proof there are good people in the world“

“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!“

“Fabulous coffee much nicer than most other places. And cakes well off the scale amazing“

“Everything we ordered was better than the previous one Tara mad choosing items perfect you could tell she had tried everything she recommended many times that kind of server knowledge makes navigating a menu so many great options increased all of us to be adventurous with some of our selections I even liked there Brussels sprouts and I don’t like Brussels sprouts but it held its own next to the broccolini a potato puree( so much more than a side of mash potatoes enjoy our whole party did“

“We definitely enjoyed our stay! The roof top bar was amazing. I had the best experience with Tyson up there. He was so kind and knowledgeable.“

“Cam was an awesome bartender and took great care of us, she even gave us recommendations of what to do in East Nashville,“

“I went for a cocktail before a show, and had a great time at Martha’s! There was a big bar with lots of seating, booths and an area with a pool table. The service was fantastic, and the drinks were better. My friend had a palm reader, which she thoroughly enjoyed as a seasoned mezcal drinker. I had volcarona which was perfectly sweet for me as well. We didn’t try and food, but what we saw passing us by, it looked good.“

“Have been looking for restaurant that has similar taste to what Italy has. We ordered the Marinated olives, bread and meat balls as appetizer, flat iron steaks and finished with tiramisu. Everything was delicious! The olives were so good that I bought a jar of them to bring home. Will be back!!!“

“Great service and great food. Josh was The Best Server.“

“We have always enjoyed our times here! Perfect conversation time to catch up with friends. The owner is also very welcoming and accommodating!“

“We always enjoy our RH. Maggie was our server and the service is impeccable . Such a beautiful place with wonderful food and an elegant atmosphere, without being stuffy or pretentious . The service is top-notch . Get the Affogato and cookies!“

“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.“

“They have kitties of all sizes“

“Listen, the place is fantastic. BUT you HAVE TO TRAIN your people better! Multiple times I’ve come here, your people act like they don’t care working there, don’t have answers to basic questions, and seem like they’re scrambling for answers. Workers have even pronounced the wines incorrectly and laughed about it! One even told me to cancel my VinoFile membership if I wasn’t happy. What!? That’s not great representation. During concerts, we’ve received slow service, sometimes our items haven’t even come. Again, I love the place and the concept, but have sadly been disappointed on some level each time I come in. Please, train your staff better and get them to even pretend they care!“

“Amazing food!!!! The meatballs & pasta are absolutely delicious!!! The pasties are perfect!“

“Went to The Rutledge with another couple for a Wednesday night. Arrived an hour early for our reservation to take advantage of Happy Hour. The host was very friendly and the bartender was very helpful in filling us in on the Fall cocktails - they were delicious! I had checked the website for Happy Hour and it says there is a %25 discount off all cocktails before 6 pm. The bartender however, told us it was only %20. When seated for dinner our server Steve, was extremely friendly and helpful. I had called ahead to check on corkage fees and the lady who I spoke with told me $45 but our friend had also called and someone told him $25. Steve, our waiter told us $40. Other than those issues we all LOVED this restaurant as each of our dinners were fabulous. Between the four of us we ordered the shrimp pasta, salmon, gumbo and the short rib dinners. No complaints at all - food was yummy! Steve helped us navigate "too spicy" etc. We shall be back. Please adjust your website and make sure everyone is on the same page for Happy Hour prices and corkage fees and this will be a slam dunk!“

“Everything about our experience was great! The ambience was great, soft lighting, appropriate noise level which allowed for great conversation, and comfortable seating! The food was OUTSTANDING! It was the first night for the menu and everything we had was amazing. Highly recommend the duck croquettes, delicious! The hiscuits reminded my of my grandmas, and even though the sever thought they were out of the acorn squash they found some and it was amazing! For entrees the lamb shank and burger were among the favorites at our table. The entire staff was amazing!“

“I celebrated my birthday with family and friends. Our waiter was great! The food was fresh and hot. I received a free cheesecake 😊 The manager Rose is awesome. She came by our table several times to make sure we were good. Everyone was satisfied!“

“Vacation coming to end fine dining enjoyed a sultry meal and great service.“

“Delicious coffee!! Had the French toast which was so good!! When the check came I was shocked…much le$$ than expected. I’ll definitely be back.“
