NASHVILLE HIDDEN BAR HOW TO
The bartenders could not have been more kind, and from witnessing their technique, it seemed every one of them knows how to mix a mean drink. It feels a little like your cool friend in college’s basement apartment. The inside is shockingly adorable, with live acoustic music, cozy and well-appointed seating nooks, and leather bar stools around a (roughly) 14 seat bar. Once you park, you have to go through the fenced area and to the left, then walk through the picnic tables and circular firepits with Adirondack chairs.
Sidebar is quite literally a bar off to the side, perpendicular to the BODE hotel. SIDEBARĪddress 401 2nd Ave S, Nashville, TN 37201 Not something I’d order again, but I’d sure order a lovely G&T just to partake in the backyard vibes. It’s honestly the perfect hangout in warm (let’s be honest – hot) weather.Īs far as drinks go, I had the gin/watermelon/tobacco situation, which tasted of a watermelon jolly rancher yet tingled your lips. This little retreat is completely hidden by the street, leaving those who’ve never been to Never Never completely unawares. There’s even a tiny bar attached to the side sharing a service opening to the bar indoors. But the sneakiest (and best) part is in the back, where umbrellaed tables and chairs are scattered across green AstroTurf under tiny industrial lights. The inside is quaint and pub-style, with an average sized bar, a few rectangular high tops, and a large leather booth in the corner. Located in a remote corner of Wedgewood-Houston, Never Never ne’er has a sign, other than the white neon one that says “open” on an otherwise black building.

So, I hope you visit each of these fine businesses, enjoy a well-made beverage, tip well, and for God’s sake be quiet about it so the bachelorettes don't get hip to any of them. Regardless of what kind of hidden the place is, they all have one thing in common: they’re hidden for a reason. This week, I’ll discuss those that are hidden physically from plain sight. (Please don’t slash my tires for writing about some of them.)įor this column on hidden cocktail gems, I decided that both physically hidden bars and bars known by word of mouth and/or the locals would qualify. Many people choose not to broadcast their most coveted hangouts (especially in a tourist-heavy city like Nashville) so it won’t be ruined by heavy traffic or obnoxious patrons. The term “speakeasy” literally came from “speaking easy” or “speaking softly” about a place in public so as to not draw too much attention, since the place was selling the hooch illegally, either due to Prohibition or, as early as the early 1800s, due to simply not having a liquor license.īut “speaking softly” about a place doesn’t have to be due to something so serious as illicit activity. But although that’s exactly what comes to mind when one thinks “speakeasy,” that’s not really the definition. The obvious idea is that of the speakeasy - an establishment tucked away out of plain sight with minimal, if any signage or special lights to designate its existence. It’s an interesting concept, hidden bars.
