She then taught 6 of us how to make a few cocktails, and finished off with a whole list of cocktail recipes for us to keep. Through all this, she was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about whiskey, definitely changing some of our minds about the drink. Highly recommend.

Gertie's is such a cute little spot tucked beneath The 404 Kitchen, and it's become one of our…read morefavorite places to stop in for a drink (or two ). They have a huge whiskey selection, and their barrel picks are consistently excellent. If you're not sure what to try, the staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable, and they're great at helping you find something you'll love. You can order food from The 404 Kitchen menu, but we usually stick with the charcuterie board, which is perfect for snacking while you sip. On Wednesday and Thursday nights they also have fun, old-timey music that adds a really charming ambiance to the space. Overall, it's a warm, welcoming bar with great drinks, great people, and a vibe that keeps us coming back.

This place was dead dead dead (I was the only one there on a Friday night), but the bartender was…read moregreat! Instead of ordering a specific drink, I listed a few things I really liked and let him surprise me. He picked well and I ended up with a drink that was the right balance smokey, sweet, and bitter. The atmosphere is really calming with nice ambient lighting, and they have some couch seating that would be great with a group. I'll definitely come back!

The ice was crystal clear, check out the pictures! It made an already excellent Old Fashioned absolutely perfect. We also tried a variety of food, including the soft pretzel bites, artichoke dip with chips, and Loaded Brisket skins. Everything was flavorful and hit the spot. Our server was amazing! If you live in Franklin or are just visiting, this is a great place to stop in. Enjoy some fantastic live music while sipping on a top-notch Leiper's Fork whiskey.

This was my second time visiting Uncle Nearest, and it just confirmed why I gave them a 10. I…read morebrought my lady and her friends in from Cincinnati--one of them works for a distributor doing tastings--so we wanted them to get the full Uncle Nearest experience, especially since they don't get access to all the flavors back home. As always, everything was top tier. The staff was incredible, and Karen really stood out--she made the experience even more special. From the atmosphere to the tasting, Uncle Nearest never misses. Every visit feels like something you gotta share with people. That's why it's a 10 every time.

Upon arrival, the property itself was absolutely beautiful. The rich green colors, the open driveway, the art that could be visibly seen from the highway. Very gorgeous! The welcome center was clean and modern, displaying history of Nearest Green's lineage, facts about the art of distilling, display cases filled with tools from the original distillery/farm, as well as display cases for their world-renowned Tennessee Whiskey. The staff were all polite and welcoming. Our tour guide (forgot his name, but I have a picture of him!) was awesome! He was funny, personable, and very knowledgeable. He shared that he's been at NGD for the past 3 years and you could tell that he enjoys his job. The tour was great. The only downside was that half of the property was off-limits or non-operational at the moment. The time slot of our tour unfortunately occurred closer to closing time so we weren't able to check out their bar, Humble Baron. We did get to visit the speakeasy on the property and the area where they pour and bottle for the welcome center. It would've been fun to check out the stables to see all of the pretty horsies. Overall, it was a good experience. To visit a place filled with rich history, black history. Praying for the Nearest success for more opportunities to continue sharing the Green legacy.

Mark was our whiskey tasting coordinator and he did an awesome job giving us the rundown of Nashville Barrel and definitely fed off of our bachelor party energy. The tasting was great (first one was a mix of multiple and it was the strongest I've ever had!), then we went back out to the common area and got adult slushies to pass the time before we got back on the bus.

They also have this SUPER secret speakeasy that is a door behind a bookshelf. The guys who run this have a large knowledge base oof whiskey and bourbon. They also know wine (a little)! Its an interesting business model as they go directly to the distributor/distillery and buy barrels from them. They then continue to age them or will finish them with honey or maple syrup etc. I'm not a huge fan of finished whiskey but when its made with natural things like those listed above, I'm not opposed. Overall a cool joint just a few blocks from the craziness of Nashville.

Dodging yet another storm that rolled through when our group was here, we posted up in Nelson's Green Brier for an hour or so. I haven't struggled so much like I have here to pick a craft cocktail. There are so many good ones on the menu that fit any type of pallet, that it took me so long to decide. I got a modified old fashioned and then there was a martini-like drink that I tried. Both really packed a punch, luckily we were walking to our next destination. In the store they seemed to have a flash-sale going on for one of the bourbons. It was normally around $75 or something and I got it for $45. I am sure that's not normal but it really made the selection even better, because the wall of whiskey/bourbon is also really tough to choose what you want!

I'm not much of a whiskey or bourbon drinker, but I still really enjoy coming here because they have creative cocktails that are delicious and approachable for everyone.

I really liked how calm it was and you can have a conversation without yelling or getting real close to someone's ear. It's like an artists' bar, a lot of graffiti everywhere. I ended up getting the Jamo & Blonde special for $10. Really good deal. I highly recommend this spot if you want more of a lowkey night or if you want to pregame before hitting up Broadway or Printer alley.
