Where to drink in Nashville right now

by Kellie Benz
Updated May 23, 2023
Nashville is nationally renowned for its round-the-clock party vibes. For some, that means an Instagrammable hotspot with glittery drinks. For others, the key to a good time here is live music and a pitch-perfect martini.
A spacious indoor-outdoor bar in Germantown is known for built-in cabanas and strong day-drinking vibes. In Printer’s Alley, a Rat Pack-inspired lounge stirs up classic cocktails named after Frank Sinatra’s greatest hits. A trendy Midtown hotel bar shines the spotlight on small-batch Tennessee bourbons.
Nashville’s dynamic bar scene has you covered, whether you’re after an intricate cocktail or a no-nonsense brew. Grab a pal or—five—and head to one of these excellent bars now.
