As a Nashville content creator, I’ve been to most of Nashville’s craft cocktail bars. These are my favorites!

Downtown/The Gulch
East Nashville
It’s one a ton of awards, for good reason! Even the mocktails here are so good. Reservations recommended.
The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club
Everyone says it looks like Tulum here. While I can neither confirm nor deny that, what I can say with confidence is that the drinks are very good.
Coral Club
The drinks are as good as the 1930s circus theme is fun! I always take visitors to Nashville here. Resys not required, but recommended.
Tiger Bar
This is a restaurant first, but the cocktails are top tier, and fun! (They have adult Capri Suns and lights in some of their drinks). They’re also fairly reasonably priced.
Koré
Whether you go for a classic or one of the creative seasonals, you will get a great cocktail at one of Nashville’s coziest spots. I absolutely love the vibe.
The Amsterdamian
A tiki bar with substance - and style! Their seasonal mugs are always a hit.
Chopper
Choose your own adventure at this bar where there is no menu; the bartenders will craft a drink based on your spirit and taste preferences. There can be a wait during peak times, and the wait is outside, so keep that in mind.
Attaboy
Germantown/North Nashville
With an excellent old fashioned and espresso martini menu, as well as decorative nods to everyone’s grandpa, this is a cozy spot with great drinks - and they also host lots of fun events!
Grandpa Bar - Coffee & Cocktails
This cocktail and oyster bar is tucked away over the Optimist. It’s a great, intimate spot, but check their socials before going, as they do close for private events on occasion.
Le Loup
Downtown/The Gulch
The OG craft cocktail spot in Nashville, any list would be incomplete without them. Another where reservations are requested.
The Patterson House
No one has ever heard of this bar, but I’ve never had a bad drink here! They also have fun seasonal pop-ups periodically!

A classy Jazz Age-esque bar, I’ve enjoyed every drink I’ve had there. They have a limited food menu, but these bites are very good!
