About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Innovative
Good for special occasions

We offer limited reservations and operate primarily on a first-come, first-served basis with seats available each night for walk-ins. We accept reservations for parties up to 10 guests.

Sixteen years and countless cocktails later, The Patterson House begins its next chapter atop The Bill Voorhees Building on 8th Avenue South. A pioneer of Nashville’s cocktail culture since 2009, The Patterson House continues to deliver its signature blend of tradition and innovation now through two dynamic drink menus: a modern menu of frequently changing original cocktails and a longer menu honoring The Patterson House classics with 150 rotating selections, plus a curated non-alcoholic list, wine and beer. A newly expanded food menu with help from the chefs of The Catbird Seat offers inventive dishes to complement the bar’s thoughtful and inventive program.

I usually don't do reviews but the service was so poor I had to. Drinks were mediocre at best. The old Patterson House was way better. The service was so bad we were offered free glasses of champagne between the wait which we didn't want. We simply wanted the drinks we ordered. They weren't very busy at all. We were there after 11:30pm. I'll say sometimes they try to do a little too much designing their drinks. Sometimes simpler is better. I wouldn't return. My bill was $139 with a $35 tax. Wasn't even about the bill or the tax which is crazy but it's about the lack of service.

No wine options. Only one flaw of red, white, rose. Server wasn’t very friendly. Had higher expectations. We did have a different guy come over and and was much more helpful in sledging a drink that was absolutely delicious.

Went to the new opened location and it’s a beautiful spot. Great views of the city. I thought it would be a quieter ambience but it was really loud. We stopped in for a couple of drinks which service was great. Only reason of the 4 star is due to how loud it was at our booth. It was a little hard to find the exact building but valet was out and pointed us to the right direction. Overall good stop in but could definitely find a quieter spot as a local wanting a quiet time out.

The new location is beautiful! The drinks were as always amazing. We tried the special-Halibut drip with caviar and it was delicious!! Everything we had was 10/10 in fact.

New space is GORGEOUS. Love the expanded food menu but missing beef tartare. Service and drinks as good as ever. Thanks for complimentary valet. Cannot wait for our next trip.
