Stumbled in here after dinner to their one year birthday party and it was awesome! Very lively band (The Magi Music) and half off specific menu items. What a great way to check this place out for the first time. Very cool 70s/underground/hipster vibe. So much going on, good for everyone. Dance, drink, have a bite, relax in the conversation pit. It was pretty packed but we managed to have quick service. The happy hour meal deal looks great so we'll be back to try it. read more

WINNER!!! What a perfect way to spend my last night in Nashville!!!! Super cool location in a renovated space on the riverfront in the germantown neighborhood. Awesome vibes with a laid back crowd, really creative cocktails, yummy pastry pockets and other fun bar snacks, friendly barkeeps, and rad tunes on the speaker! And bingo on Tuesdays!!! Loved every minute! A really nice diversion for those who want to check out some other really neat finds in Nashville away from the broadway scene. read more

My friend moved in to the apartment complex and said we had to check out this speakeasy! Not too hard to find, but hidden in plain sight downstairs in the plaza. Super interesting place, and definitely MUCH bigger than I anticipated. It's got a unique design, including the conversation pit, and was so much fun to hang out. Bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. We tried a couple of different cocktails and overall they were decent. One of the specialty seasonal ones sounded interesting but was way too sweet and funky for us - they took it back without an issue and made another drink for us. Always appreciate that from a good bartender! The glassware was unique as well and nice and chilled, which was much needed on this hot day. read more

The interior is huge - so many places to sit! The kitchen was closed so we didn't have any food, but the drinks were great. Surprisingly it wasn't too crowded on a Friday night so we had a really good time. We'll be back! read more

3.5/5. A cool concept for sure! The space is very open with a good amount of seating. Prices are average. The drinks we had were good. We asked a few questions and the bartenders were a little snippy to us which was a little weird but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I do wish that the music had a little more variety to get the vibes going but since l've only been once I would go again just to see if that holds true. When I go back I'll post an update. read more

I've been here two times now, once right when they opened and again more recently. Each visit was totally different (the first at night and crowded, the second in the evening and super chill) and I thoroughly enjoyed both. They have fun drinks, even many NA options for those of us doing dry January and the space is huge. As a big fan of Death and Company, this is a welcome treat in Nashville read more

Cute hidden gem tucked-away in the Neuhoff District. The cocktails are well-crafted, the atmosphere is intimate without feeling stuffy, and it's the kind of spot where you can actually enjoy a good conversation. Perfect for a relaxed drink with friends or a low-key date. Definitely worth finding if you're in the area. read more

Went to close company to enjoy some vibes and it did not disappoint! Ubered there as parking in Germantown is almost impossible on the weekends without paying as much as an uber. Close company is in the lower lower level surrounded by concrete with moody vibes for days. They offer plenty of seating both at the bar area and at booths as well as standing space with tables for drinks. I love a good bar where I feel I don't have to hold my drink the entire time! The menu is simple yet diverse offering their version of hot pockets for food as well as other small bites including a boozy banana pudding which I'll have to try next time! I only went for drinks and was happy with their selection of upscale cocktails as well as plenty of beer options. The bar was super busy and it was a bit difficult to order with the limited staff. The staff also automatically marked over 20% tip on my check which I didn't appreciate on a can of beer. I'll be back to try out the food and hoping it's a bit less busy! read more

Great vibe, great drinks, and very hospitable staff! I was grateful to see several nice non-alcoholic options on the menu as well. I particularly enjoyed the "Dangerous Rickey". Also, the bar manager Kala is so knowledgeable and kind!! This is a good spot to come for a chill weeknight with friends, a date night, or for a more lively night out on the weekend. read more

This is a really cool bar and has a unique aesthetic, however it can be really difficult to find (you'll want to go up some stairs, down an alley, down the stairs in the back, and it is the only door on the bottom floor). The employees were all friendly and we ordered fairly quickly. We didn't get any food, but the pick up station in the wall looked awesome. The negative are its loud, everything seems to echo, it gets super packed but there are lots of seating options if you are lucky enough to score a spot, and I tried the pink flamingo mocktail and wasn't overly impressed. It just tasted like straight watermelon juice. It needed a little more to make it exciting - maybe some bubbles, some citrus, a spicy salted rim, a jalapeño - just something to take it from being so one dimensional. read more

I have been holding off writing this review until I gave Close Company another chance. The first time we went, it was packed. The vibes were great. We ended up just getting beers and hanging out. At one point we decided to dance (theres a DJ and small open area in front). We were told to stop dancing by the bouncer at the door closest. We stopped and he threw attitude "Do you understand what I am saying". We said yes sir and decided to leave. Upon leaving we looked around and there were multiple people dancing. The second time we went, it was less packed which was nice because you could see the beautiful architecture. I ordered their super martini. I love ford's gin, I love martinis, and anything savory. This was not drinkable. It came from a pre-made batch cocktail. I feel this three ingredient drink could have been made to order. I gave my cocktail away and didnt order another. My friends got the adventure gimlet. This was a very crisp cocktail. I thought it was unique and much better than my drink. I am unsure if this was a batch made cocktail or not. Either way, I have been very excited for this new bar, but I have been extremely disappointed not once but twice. read more

Stopped in on a busy Saturday night with a group of friends. Thankfully one of them had been before because it's a bit tricky to find! It's such a cool, unique space but there is super limited seating and the DJ is very loud especially since the space echoes. I think if you're just there with 1 person or looking to meet someone it's probably great! Cocktail prices seemed reasonable but weren't very impressive. The women's restroom didn't have any working sinks either which is wild. read more

Wow! This place is definitely a vibe! I love the concept of this beautiful bar. Its beautifully designed and and the aesthetic makes you feel like you're not in Nashville. The bartender was super friendly. We just happened to walk in when they was having a soft opening nite. Definitely going to be my go to spot and places I recommend to everyone!!! read more

Super cool bar with awesome cocktails. We had their unique take on the Negroni and old fashion. Both VERY tasty- they had the complexity of flavor that you only get at a great craft cocktail bar (think The Fox). The space is very cool, down in a basement with an industrial vibe. It's a real scene, felt a bit like Mother's Ruin but the crowd was more varied in age. They have a small menu of fun sounding bar snacks- will check it out next time. Incredibly loud when we were there! read more

Noted that the place was slammed, but the bartender totally ignored us while serving others who came to the bar after because he knew them. And I understand taking care of your local patrons...but we're local too and will not be back. Horrible bar service, IMO. read more

What a great place to grab a drink and relax. The architecture and atmosphere is amazing and people watching is also amazing! We had great mixed drinks and wonderful service from a very attentive staff. read more

The drinks were top notch! The interior is warm and architecturally interesting. Service was a bit slow, but it is what it is.

The space is 5 stars (once you find it) and the one bartender I talked to was very friendly. However the food is blah, $5 for a premade bag of chips they call "Low Country Kettle Chips" I had an their CC Old Fashioned and a standard old fashioned, neither were near as good as the ones i've had at other bars (Rosemary & the Beauty Queen and Perfectly Fine being my favorites) and had quite a smokey aftertaste. I wish the cocktails and the food were as good as the surroundings. read more

One of our new favorite bars in Nashville! Definitely can be difficult to find at first, but if you ask me it adds to the charm. The bartenders are also super super kind and helpful! read more

I feel like I got ripped off. I was charged LBD tax on a mocktail. I ordered a mocktail - a phony negroni. $13. The bartender pulled out a bottle of St. Agrestis non-alc negroni and poured half of it over ice. ($2.60 worth of product, minimal effort). I know bar margins are ridiculous, but still this seems like a lot. That's all I ordered, so on the car ride home I was wondering why my tab totaled $19. I pulled up my receipt to see I was charged LBD tax (1.95) on my mocktail. Think if you have a party tab with five mocktails on it - That extra tax is also calculated into the pre-tip subtotal, so the bartenders are asking for tip based on a falsely added tax. Service was pretty quick (on a Monday night) so I tipped well, the atmosphere was good, but I absolutely hate feeling like I paid significantly more than what my experience was worth. There should have been no Liquor By The Drink tax on non-alcoholic beverages. read more

A little difficult to find! We walked past it a couple of times before we saw the stairs to get there. Drinks were amazing, and so was the service! The inside was cozy and there was plenty of room. I enjoyed not having to be shoulder to shoulder with anyone. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

Close Company - Dirty martini and Aperol Spritz - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I came across this place a few days before visiting and thought it looked so cool. After meeting a friend for brunch, I suggested that we check it out. I was so excited to show my friend the newly renovated Neuhoff area and one of its trendy bars. At first, everything was great, good vibes, good drinks, and fun, and lighthearted girl talk while sitting at the bar. The bartender initially seemed friendly, but then refused to serve me a second drink, saying we were loud and that he knew we'd had drinks prior to coming to Close Company. I had a designated driver and was not belligerent or anything. We were just simply having a good time catching up enjoying each others company. My friend pointed out that a group of women across the bar were just as loud and lively as we were. The bartender then said our conversation was "inappropriate" for a "family-friendly" place , even though there were no children present, and the atmosphere doesn't give off family-friendly vibes. To make matters worse, he repeated details of our conversation that he'd misheard entirely. We spoke with a manager, who said the bartender was being "safe because of something that happened days prior." That explanation left me feeling unfairly associated with someone else's behavior. I genuinely hope the staff receives more guidance on addressing guests consistently and without assumptions, because this space could be wonderful if everyone felt equally welcome. Unfortunately, after feeling policed for simply having a good time, I won't be returning. read more

When I heard Death & Co had a project coming to Nashville, I was incredibly excited for what was to come. However, what I experienced was not anywhere near my expectation. Don't get me wrong, the vibe and location is on point The physical location is a repurposed industrial setting and is incredibly unique and beautiful. I came for Death & Co backed cocktails though and what I got was basic. I would also add that the customer service was good, but very slow! I'm hoping that they will find a balance of what people expect from Death & Co and what their vision for Close Company is. Honestly if it wasn't labeled as a Death & Co project, I would've given it a better rating. read more

Definitely one of the more unique atmospheres in Nashville. The location has an underground speakeasy vibe, but it is very spacious and has a variety of areas to hang out and enjoy the wonderful food and drinks. The bartenders and bar manager are very professional and have an immense knowledge on mixology. You can tell they take pride in their craft! read more

Cool new spot in Nash! Definitely recommend for a fun night out with the girls. Great ambience

Amazing bar!! The staff was very helpful and had wonderful attitudes, even though they were pretty busy. I was able to have a great talk with Brandon C about the time and care that goes into the delicious cocktails behind the scenes and that was really cool as a bartender myself to get the inside scoop. The space itself is really fun and unique. The bar snacks were a great late night snack, I loved the pickled vegetables. Brandon C, JJ, and Cheddar all made the night really fun! Thanks guys! read more
