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.

Update: I went to the new location this month and it was a lovely experience (minus being hard to…read morefind because of construction and lack of signs in the area.

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.

On my last visit to Nashville, I made the ride to Shelbyville and visited the famous Nearest Green…read moreDistillery. Upon approach, the property itself is visible from the highway and was impressive, almost to the point of breathtaking. Justing seeing this was simple reminder on why doing this tour was a must for me. The welcome center was just that, welcoming! It was clean, modern and displayed history of Nearest Green's lineage, facts about the art of distilling, along with display cases filled with tools from the original distillery/farm. There was also a display case for their world-renowned Uncle Nearest Tennessee Whiskey. All the staff I encountered were kind and welcoming. The tour guide for my tour was Terrell Johnson and he was phenomenal! It was obvious from the beginning, that he thoroughly enjoys his job; he was funny, personable, and very knowledgeable. He shared that he's been at the distillery for the past 5 years and has received lots of recognition for outstanding work as a tour guide. The entire property exceeds 450 acres which is massive. That said, the tour only covered a small portion of the property. We did see one of the barrel houses which actually contained barrels of whiskey that were in the aging process. We were also able to see the onsite bottling area which was in operation at the time. Because it was staffed and operational, pictures and video were not allowed. Towards the end of the tour we did a tasting which was included with the tour. During this time, we also got to label our own bottle of Uncle Nearest 1856 to take home with us. Terrell encouraged us to do something unique with the label to ensure it stood out from the bottles that can be purchased at most liquor stores. After completing the tasting, we went back to the welcome enter which and the opportunity to peruse the store which contained numerous Uncle Nearest branded merchandise as well as numerous bottles of the various types of Uncle Nearest whiskey. The unique part about this is they have a few that can only be purchased there which was a nice treat. Lastly, their bar, Humble Baron, is located at the rear of the welcome center space. Unfortunately, I went on a Thursday afternoon and the bar is only open on the weekend. Needless to say, I will make a return visit just experience a pour or two in their bar. Overall, I am pleased with the tour experience and would participate again. was a good experience. As someone who has been supportive of the brand and the Nearest Green story, I hope they quickly resolve their current issues so the focus can return the Nearest Green story and his legacy can continue to live and grow.

I ordered the Global Convenience, which came with a potato chip and caviar. I loved the presentation--it was such a fun touch! Service was excellent and attentive. The only downside was that the bar area is pretty loud, so it can be a little difficult to carry on a conversation.

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 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.

From the cool way of entering (knock and someone will let you in assuming there is space available). Once inside, there is not a drink menu, instead your server (if seated at a table) or one of the bartenders (if seated at the bar) will ask a series of questions to determine what type of cocktail you might be interested in and from there, they go to work creating your cocktail. The team of bartenders and servers were super friendly and very welcoming. The place is relatively small but packs a real punch. While this was my first visit to Attaboy, it definitely won't be my last.
