This is a fun bar with great ambience; however, the bar food is not it. It's all packaged in these plastic containers, which is alright. I love bar food, and when you compare it to places like the Fox Cocktail Club, it doesn't really compare. My drinks were phenomenal; the bartenders care about what they're doing and love what they do. So it was very cool letting them make me a drink of their choice and quite fun. Highly recommend the drinks, but maybe shy away from the food. read more

Came in looking for a good non-alcoholic option and was pleasantly surprised by the mocktail selection. The drink I ordered was super refreshing and well-balanced -- not overly sweet like a lot of mocktails tend to be. You could actually taste the different ingredients instead of it just being juice in a fancy glass. Presentation was also on point. It came garnished nicely and honestly looked just as good as any cocktail on the menu. I appreciated that they clearly put some thought into their non-alcoholic drinks instead of treating them like an afterthought. If you're someone who isn't drinking but still wants something fun and flavorful, this is definitely worth trying. Nice to see places putting real effort into their mocktail game. read more

Four Walls - Mocktail - floral and aromatic - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We were staying at the Joseph and wanted to try the speakeasy downstairs. We arrived right when they opened and the staff was so professional and friendly from the jump. Our bartender, Robert, was great. He was engaging but not overwhelming. He listened to our preferences and curated several amazing cocktails as well as gave us alot of suggestions for our weekend trip. Would return for sure. Also, I left my glasses on the bar and the host even called me to get make sure I came back to grab them. 10/10. read more

A great place to take a date the.... cocktails are definitely on point... service was great. The only negative is that their price points are a little steep even for a craft cocktail spot.... I do understand it. It's in a nicer hotel so they're pricing to their audience. read more

Nice vibes but the cocktails were really just okay, especially for the price. We were staying at the Joseph and had some credits to spend but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this bar. My bf got the what's up doc (carrot based drink) and the bartender had a really difficult time with the carrot garnish which put him behind. We felt so bad but it was a bit awkward to watch him go through 2 carrots for our garnish. I do appreciated them making all the drinks fresh and chopping up the ingredients in front of us but I would recommend them prepping enough ingredients so they wouldn't have to slice and chop fruits/veggies as it really delays the service for other guests. Perhaps they could get a nice mandolin slicer for the bartender if they're expected to cut it in front of guests. read more

Best cocky experience in Nashville. I live in the city and have tried most restaurants/bars, this place is top of the list. Incredible experience read more

Great speakeasy bar located on the __ floor of The Joseph Hotel. Service is good. Bar options are plentiful. Good bourbon selection. We met some friends who we know from Mexico by way of Kansas who were on an anniversary trip. Us, extended a work trip (Board meeting). Serendipitous. Fun, good. Enjoy! read more

Extremely knowledgeable, kind, courteous, and accommodating bartenders. They ask you the right questions to understand your flavor profile before crafting an off menu cocktail for you. Had a great experience. Will definitely be back. read more

This hidden speakeasy was down a hidden elevator and down a dark hallway to a dark cozy bar. The menu is definitely unique we had the special The Gondola, A Violet Beauregard, and a Gin with house made tonic (watermelon lemongrass). The bartenders were pleasant but the main bartender was very focused on conversations with the other bartenders instead of the guest. The drinks were not for my taste but if you like unique and adventurous cocktails definitely try this out. I recommend everyone at least experiencing this place one. Very cool vibe. Fun bathrooms. read more

NO. The bartender barely spoke to us, was very zoned into one costumer when the bar was almost full. We ordered two gin & tonics ( watermelon GT and a strawberry fields GT) it took over 10 mins to make... and they were NOT good. How does a GT taste so bad? read more

This is such a cute little bar in downtown. Once you enter the Joseph hotel You have to take a specific elevator from the lobby to get you to the bar. It's very small, intimate, perfect for a date night (heads up they only have alcohol) there's like 3 food items on their menu but they are overpriced snacks and not substantial. Anyway back to the cocktails: AMAZING. This is true mixology where the server will take his time to perfect the perfect mix. They even brand the ice cube with a 4 walls emblem. Very unique and delicious! Will def be back. read more

Small hidden bar on 2nd floor of The Joseph with fun craft cocktails and light snacks. We had a couple of drinks here before dinner and they were delicious. Also, we couldn't resist the spicy cornuts, which were tasty if you can handle the heat. Definitely recommend this place for a few pre or post dinner cocktails. read more

Service was awful. Drinks were okay. Ambiance wasn't great enough to make up for other 2 aspects. Will not go back

i don't normally write reviews. Let me say this was worth the stop! It has a divebar/speak easy vibe. i like a variety drinks, But usually stay to bourbon and beer. We ran into the Mixologist, Lawson! Friendly and knowledgeable! i ended up trying his drinks from his designed menu! Out of the five or six i had, only one was out of my taste range! No problem! He Introduced me to the rum old fashioned! A new favorite! read more

You access the elevator in lobby with a wiggly line symbol to go to the 2nd floor. I recommend booking a reservation if on a weekend or busy holiday. The interior was very moody and dark. It's a very small space. We asked to sit at the bar and were told no, it's reserved. I asked how do you reserve the bar specifically since I made reservations and that wasn't an option, but she wouldn't say. There were about 6 empty bar seats at that time. I found it weird and felt awkward with the interaction. Maybe it's on me - maybe I did something wrong or didn't do something I was supposed to. I have no idea - I don't usually go to places such as this. We had to wait a bit for a menu. Once we ordered our drinks the hostess came back and asked if we wanted to sit at the bar since a reservation had cancelled. So we moved. Again, just a bit weird. I appreciated her asking us though. The bartenders were very no nonsense. Kinda stern and expected you to know your stuff...cause I asked if I could order off menu and for them to just make me something sweet and tropical but he just told me to try one off the menu that was a dessert drink. We must have different opinions on sweet but it was ok. We left after 2 drinks. I probably wouldn't come back here, but I think if you're into speakeasy's and know the etiquette that I clearly lack, you will enjoy this place. read more

Tucked into the 2nd floor of The Joseph, Four Walls serves creative cocktails crafted by exacting bartenders who help set the ultra-cool lounge tone. The bar is relatively small, creating an intimate setting for relaxing conversation while sipping delicious libations. Enter from the inside of the hotel - not from the street - where your door-opening causes light and street noise to interrupt the vibe. Don't harsh the mellow. read more

I am a cocktail enthusiast, and when I travel I do my research- I had high hopes for this bar but I was very disappointed with not one cocktail but all three. The cocktails look pretty but that's all you'll get, Nashville has so many other amazing bars- i highly recommend you going elsewhere. Service was also not what I expected, the person that took our order looked miserable and did not care to explain anything. Ambiance was okay, nothing special read more

Wow... I was shocked to see negative reviews on here, as I had an experience last night that was nothing short of exceptional. Looks like those are all from right around the business opening, so kudos to them for getting the kinks worked out. These cocktails are exceptional. The love and care that goes into every drink is evident - they take a while to make because they are truly handcrafted. Many places in Nashville nowadays are charging $16-$18 for a cocktail - this is one of the few spots that the cost is absolutely worth the experience for the drink. Mickey, the bar manager, was extremely knowledgeable and happy to speak with us and answer our many questions. If we had one complaint, the space was a bit messy (citrus on boxes behind the bar, etc) but they had just opened and it of course didn't impact our experience at all, just a piece of feedback. The Emerald City is the best cocktail I've had this year, full stop. Check them out. read more

In my opinion a great addition to Nashville and the downtown core! The Joseph is already a top notch hotel with an amazing personality and this just helps add another unique touch. Kyle was a great bartender and it was clear he was passionate about the menu and venue. I recommended getting a high quality cocktail here to start the night then head up to Denim on the 21st floor for your additional drinks, great meal and view of Nashville. read more

Good drinks and great service. Waiters and bartenders we very attentive. Cool speakeasy vibe. We really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Ambiance and drinks were top notch! I love having to part the beads on the door to get in this dark bar. My lack of readers in my purse meant I couldn't read the menu so I just gave Jess my preferences (French 75, citrus, cucumber martinis) and she made me Straight Sling and it was so delicious! read more

Low key one of the top cocktail spots in the city. Adore this place. Get the Saturn and the Emerald City. #trust

The ambiance at Four Walls is immaculate--the chairs are comfortable and the upscale speakeasy vibe is wonderful. The cocktails themselves ranged from pretty good (the Moth to a Flame and my friend's espresso martini) to absolutely disgusting (the Fistful of Dollars, which featured a truffle salt rim that overpowered ever other flavor). The bartender seemed more interested in upselling us than making sure we got drinks we enjoyed. I really wanted to like this spot, but I expected more. read more

This is the least welcoming establishment I've ever been to. The bartender, Mickey, was one of the most arrogant and rude servers I've ever come across. As someone who works in the industry, I was appalled at the way the paying guests were treated. Our group walked in having a great night and left here frustrated and angry. Don't waste your time with this place- it's not worth the drama. read more

Had a lovely round of drinks there yesterday evening. It's tucked away on the 2nd floor of The Joseph. The ambiance is very chic, but warm. There were 7 of us and we were seated immediately upon arriving. We were seated in a conversational way on a sofa and chairs. The drinks were excellent. Our server was very efficient, but lacked warmth. The reservation process for a party of 7 was cumbersome. read more

Four Walls - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

As hotel guest I did not know this bar existed. We were told to try it by the bartender in the downstairs restaurant. It is not even listed on the hotel's website. Small space, very dark beautiful interior. A little ridiculous on a Thursday night there was only the bartender working. Service lacked but he was doing his best handling the bar and tables. I really waffled between 2 and 3 stars. The cocktail presentation is beautiful, loved the ambiance. The drinks leave a lot to be desired. The glass is literally packed and overflowing with ice. 3 sips and I finished the drink. If I removed the ice I doubt the glass was a quarter full. Not sure if I would return, Nashville has so much more to offer. read more

So disappointing. As GMs in this industry, we lean on hospitality to separate our locations from the rest of Broadway since we don't have the volume to match their sales. Not only did the bartender display an absolute lack of desire to serve us, but the manager made it abundantly clear that our presence wasn't welcome as he was seemingly upset that we had a reservation. To Four Walls ownership: if you're plan is to open a cocktail lounge as beautiful as what you did, please bring on the staffing appropriate to facilitate your guests' needs. Not only did we hear the bartender say "Can you lock the door," we also informed the guests behind us in a full elevator that they didn't need to feel disrespected as we did. Regardless of industry or not, the most important thing in hospitality is just that, hospitality. You fell short tonight. I hope other people find a better experience, but my hopes aren't hi. read more

We got a reservation for after dinner drinks last night (Thursday). The reservation was at 10:30. As soon as we got off the elevator we could smell a strong pungent sewage odor. As we approached the check in desk we asked about it and the hostess acknowledged it and said they were working on it. We decided to sit down but it was really bad and decided to leave. We were looking forward to this place but wished they would have notified us beforehand. read more

This is the best service I have ever had in Nashville. I came opening weekend while they were busy and missed my reservation (thank you Nashville traffic). The manager immediately greeted me with a glass of water and invited me into the beautiful but full bar. As I waited for my seat, I was offered by every single staff member to go over the menu, and they made sure I was given a drink and food. The drink itself was one of the best in the city and I cannot wait to be back. read more

I try to remember to write reviews whenever possible just to give people my experience which may not be theirs but when something sticks out in my mind, like a wonderful experience, great service, great food and great ambiance I try to acknowledge it. My experience here this night was not that. Not a great experience at all!!! We went to Nashville for my birthday/vacation. My husband picked The Four Walls for our last night there because he thought it would be a nice top off to a perfect time in Nashville, Boy was he wrong. Our bartender, Ricky, I think that was his name because someone behind me asked his name and I'm pretty sure he said Ricky. Anyhoo, he was a terrible bartender and I say this because the drinks tasted more like syrup with a hint of alcohol. They were not mixed well at all. Very overpowering. He was not welcoming at all. Nor did I feel welcomed. Before we came we had a reservation because my husband made sure to make it even before we got to Nashville. When we got there we checked in at reception and he brought us in to seat us at the bar. which is very tight by the way. He was going to sit us in the middle of the bar but I didn't want to sit there because I have pain in the legs and sometimes have to stand up. Anyway, we asked the receptionist if we could sit on the end and he said yes, no problem. We sat and were getting comfortable when "Ricky" asked if we could move where the other guy just tried to sit us because someone had a reservation already for our seats, 5 and 6? (What?? At the bar??) So I kindly told him that we had reservations also and he started to get aggressive, like actually backed up like he was ready for an argument, (we're black and Ricky is white) and I guess he thinks everybody black is ready to argue. Anyway, after I told him we had reservations too he said, FOR 5 AND 6?!? When u make a reservation there, on the website there is NO option to pick your seats, so I had no idea what he was talking about and he didn't explain. My husband said, no, we're going to stay here. He gave us our drinks and proceeded to keep talking about it with the waitress, he also said something to the guy that checked us, who had no problem with us sitting there. I heard them because I was sitting where I was sitting. And no I didn't tell him why I needed to sit where we were sitting because I shouldn't have to give someone my medical history to sit where are no assigned seats!! It just put a bad taste in my mouth and didn't enjoy my time there after that at all. And of course didn't feel welcomed. We left after one drink! read more
