The Patterson House

Perhaps the first place in Nashville to charge double-digits for a cocktail, this cocktail bar is the opposite of, well, most bars you've been to. The idea is that is the place to sit down, relax, and appreciate a carefully-crafted cocktail. So, you must have a seat--that way the staff can attend to you--and you are discouraged from being glued to your phone. Instead, enjoy the atmosphere of things are private, perfect and well, past tense. The throwback to a prohibition-era luxury speakeasy, this cocktail haven draws the most discriminating palettes for precise libations served in a classic fashion. For an additional treat, be sure and order the donuts, a house favorite.
