Best Cocktail Bars in Old Hickory / Hermitage

The Henry is truly a hidden gem in Nashville’s laid-back 12th South district. From the moment you step inside, you feel as if you’ve been transported to an upscale East Coast brownstone neighborhood restaurant. The design is absolutely stunning—elegant and timeless with dark woods, leather wallpaper, and a classy, old-world charm. It’s the perfect blend of high-end sophistication and relaxed Southern hospitality. We were seated in the covered patio, which felt like a lush garden oasis. The bright, airy space, complete with high ceilings, abundant greenery, and stylish furniture, created a wonderful contrast to the cozy elegance of the interior. Walter, the maître d’, greeted us warmly and gave us a great introduction to the restaurant. He even offered to personally assist with reservations if availability ever seems limited on OpenTable—a thoughtful touch that reflects the restaurant’s commitment to exceptional service. Armand, who took care of our table, was equally outstanding. His professionalism, warm personality, and genuine smile made us feel right at home. He was attentive without being intrusive and kept us engaged with friendly conversation throughout the evening. The food was just as impressive as the atmosphere and service. I had the burger, and it was absolutely delicious—the meat was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We also enjoyed the brie and cranberry on sourdough toast appetizer, which was the perfect start to the meal. My husband had the chopped tuna salad, lightly seared and beautifully prepared. Every bite was fantastic. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we can’t wait to return. As Nashville locals, we’re thrilled to have found such an elegant yet approachable spot that we’ll definitely be frequenting from now on!

Sinatra bar & lounge is a MUST when you’re in Nashville. If you love Frank Sinatra, a classy comfortable experience with craft cocktails and divine food you will love it here. We’ve been twice. We sat at the bar. Everyone was great! Servers, bartenders and hostesses. Highly recommend the Ragu with short ribs and whipped ricotta! We will be back every visit.

Excellent experience for our party of 28! The staff was exceptional and the food was amazing. Halie and her team created a VIP lounge experience. Everyone commented on how wonderful the event was.

Another great evening at Pullman Standard. Jeremiah and his team took great care of us. First, we all had a round of the Nutty Scotsman which was a great seasonal drink. Secondly, we had a great collection of shareables including the General Tso’s cauliflower. Then we had another round from their creative cocktail menu. Some had more Nutty Scotsman, others some of their standard cocktails, one her favorite non-alcoholic mocktail, whole I opted for their snicker-doodle Christmas old-fashioned. The place was hopping and we all had a great time.

Loved the experience, just felt rushed. Reservation for two had 60 minute limit and felt like for the money, should have gotten a longer experience and would have liked to get another drink.
