Headed to the Music City? You can fill days exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Grand Ole Opry, and dozens more attractions in Nashville. After all that sightseeing, we believe you deserve a drink. And what better way to toast your trip than with some bourbon in a cool environment?
Check out our recommendations for our six favorite bourbon bars in Nashville!
Husk Nashville
37 Rutledge St., Nashville
We recommend a place like Husk to start off an evening or weekend of bourbon bar-hopping. It has excellent food from a revered culinary team, in addition to a stand-out bourbon collection. Start off with an expertly-made bourbon Old Fashioned, enjoy some dinner, and cap off the night with a bourbon flight. Husk’s entire beverage list is carefully curated. It highlights local distilleries, artisanal microbrews, and a boutique wine program. This is a spot for drinkers of all stripes to meet up over a dry-aged steak and a pimento cheese platter.
Whiskey Kitchen
118 12th Ave S., Nashville
This is another spot to grab a bite to eat alongside a bourbon tasting. Rated one of the Best Bourbon Bars in the South by The Bourbon Review; enjoy a glass on the beautiful patio or recline in an intimate, rustic booth. Don’t forget to check out their Secret Stash menu of hard-to-find bourbons, ryes, and international whiskeys. It’s a cool space to see and be seen in.
The Patterson House
1711 Division St., Nashville
This is a cozy space with an excellent cocktail program. Try a Murder to Excellence (Old Forester Signature 100, Lustau sherry, and Campari). Or, if you’re feeling like a big spender, go for the $40 Whistle Pig Sazerac. The great thing about ordering such a high-end drink is that you can be guaranteed it’s made to perfection. The incredible ambiance is a bonus.
Gertie’s Whiskey Bar
507 12th Ave. S., Nashville
You’ll have to do just a little hunting for this bar that’s tucked below the 404 Kitchen in the Gulch neighborhood. The bar is named for Gertrude Cleo Lythgoe, the so-called Queen of the Bootleggers during American Prohibition. The aesthetic is something like library meets the best-stocked speakeasy in the South. The extensive bourbon menu will keep you coming back for more.
The Whiskey Shot
209 Printer’s Alley
You’re unlikely to find any rare bourbons at The Whiskey Shot. But it’s certainly a unique experience built around drinking, camaraderie, and guns. Now that may not sound like everyone’s cup of tea, but hear us out: you can meet up with a handful of friends, listen to live music, and drink good bourbon. Plus, you can play inventive shooting games using custom laser technology! It’s interactive, exciting, and provides a little something for everyone.
No. 308 Presents CAMP
407 Gallatin Ave., Nashville

This is another spot that’s a little more about the experience you can have while drinking bourbon, rather than focusing on the bourbon itself. Yes, No. 308 has a decent-sized collection of bourbon. However, their real draw is in their camp-themed food and cocktails celebrating the National Parks Service. It’s an intimate space with a throwback Parks and Recreation vibe and truly inventive cocktails that benefit their corresponding park.
