It does not get much better than The Green Hour…read more I'll admit I am biased, this is literally next door for me. However the menu that has been crafted here is a demonstration in cocktail excellence. Whether you're an absinthe expert or a newbie you will feel right at home. There's plenty of ways to expand your horizons with seasonal or specialty menus but there's also a plentiful menu of mainstays that make this an essential pre/post outing stop for me and my crew. Paired with chocolates from its daytime counterpart Tempered, this is truly a great sipping experience. One of my favorite places to drink in the city of Nashville.

My wife & I stumbled upon this gem a few years ago while looking for a quality chocolate shop…read more Little did we know that this place would introduce us to absinthe and chocolate pairings & ultimately become our favorite date night spot.

Stopped in here recently on a Friday and, then again, on a Saturday. We arrived around 1 AM on…read moreFriday night (technically Saturday AM), and then returned around 7 pm on Saturday. We stayed about 45 mins both times. Both nights had great vibes and decent music and decor is pretty cool too. The only drink I had there was the strawberry lemonade. It was like $20! But I guess that's standard for Nashville. Regardless, it was good but I had to water it down a bunch because it was way too sweet. We all had fun, but the biggest problem is that ALL the seating is reserved for table service. ALL of it!!! And the minimum was $250. I understand if some seating is reserved, that's normal. But all of it?? Me and my group would've stayed longer but without any where to sit a chill (without paying a small fortune) we just couldn't. Since it's a basement, it was a bit muggy down there too especially by the restrooms. The lack of seating is why this place doesn't get 5 stars. Hope that can be changed in the future!

The interior was very cute and nicely decorated. The service was great, there was a person at the counter as the server and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. For food we ordered the salad, crispy tomato rice, shrimp toast, garlic noodles, and the ginger tofu ice for dessert. The salad was literally just butter lettuce with dressing. While it was good, not something I would have paid for if i had known that's all it was. Pairing it with the crispy tomato rice was a good idea because you can make a little lettuce wrap. The crispy tomato rice wasn't quite what I was expecting, I thought it'd be a bowl of crispy rice but it was like patties fried to be crispy. The garlic noodles were fine, but too hard and chewy in my opinion. I think it needed more crispy garlic on top for texture. All good but not dishes I would have to get again. The shrimp toast was delicious though, one of our favorite dishes. It was a think milk bread type toast. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and flavorful but not too over the top. The other favorite was the ginger tofu ice cream surprisingly. It had a crunchy shortbread at the bottom that was a great contrast to the soft tofu and ginger ice cream. If you've had ginger tofu dessert in Vietnam you'll be familiar with the flavors and texture. This is a great contemporary version of that dish. And the best part, it's not too sweet! #iykyk One thing I thought was strange is the food available on the bar side isn't available on the restaurant side and vice versa. I had wanted to try the fried chicken people have mentioned but couldn't unless I went to the bar side. They validate parking which is rare these days so I do love them for this!

Mother's Ruin in Germantown is a great spot for dinner and drinks or a place to stop before going…read moreout. The whipped feta is definitely a must order. It comes with a lot of bread and is so good. Their smashburger is also really good, and the waffle fries are amazing. The drinks are a highlight too. I loved the skinny margaritas, and the frozen blackberry mule was so good. They have a really nice patio that's perfect for hanging out. The only downside is that I feel like they close the patio/space a little early around 10 PM, and after that the inside gets extremely packed and it's hard to move around. The mozzarella sticks were good, but a lot of them were missing cheese, which was disappointing. Overall, still a really fun spot with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out for a casual dinner or drinks before heading out.

Great spot with a lot of character…read more While staying in Clarksville, one of the locals recommended that try Mother's Ruin. Luckily it was walking distance from one of the trolley stops (Farmers Market). We came in on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy but we were able find a spot. We started with drinks.

The service was quick and we picked up a t-shirt on the way out. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

The atmosphere is quiet enough to enjoy a conversation, perfect for a date night. Charles prepared our drinks when we went, and as I am pregnant and cannot drink, he made an awesome non-alcoholic cocktail for me. My husband enjoyed his mezcal cocktail (I forgot the name), but it had fresh fruit juice which is really rare to find near Broadway. We went during a special event but usually their drinks are served in cute glassware. It was nice though to have the plastic cup so I could check out the 3rd floor rooftop (no glassware on the roof). We'll definitely return next time we have out of town guests with us, so we could show them what Broadway is like but then actually drink here with the higher quality drinks!

From the moment I walked up the steps, it wasn't clear if the place was open or under construction…read more I decided to proceed. Eventually I got to an elevator that delivered me to the 5th floor. The doors opened, and before me, a beautifully appointed bar and a very cozy ambiance enhanced by candlelight. The menu offerings were not extensive yet the options to pair with the "long list" of bespoke craft cocktails were perfect. The assorted shapes, sizes and shades of olives were my first delight. I wound up with a charcuterie-esque combination of sour dough that included a creamy cheese smear along the inside of the dish, a prosciutto-like ham, and the most unexpectedly delicious bowl of warm, smoky carrots in a romesco. Not a drop got left behind thanks to the sour dough. Whatever music was playing in the background, added to the swanky vibe. This is the kind of gem that is meant to be savored by every one of your senses.

The service was good, I bit slow but friendly enough. It was very busy and cold that night so I wasn't very comfortable as their warmers were not very warm and their fireplace seating were full.
