#fatjared say...this is a hidden gem that you never would have thought would be as fun as it always is. This is a tough review for me. I LOVE this place. It is tucked away in an alley, with no sign as to where it actually is. A former boiler room turned into a speak-easy right behind Taco Mamacita in Edgehill. There is a door with the number 103 on it, and you walk in to see a skeleton climbing up a ladder, then down the stairs into a very cool looking basement bar area. The staff is SUPER knowledgeable and they are always nice. The selection of alcohol is second to none! They have anything you could ask for, and this place has my favorite drink of ALL TIME. If you like any dark liquor, you have to try the Panther Panther. They won an award of some kind for it. It is straight liquor (usually bourbon), but it has a giant cold brew coffee ice cube in the glass. The coffee gives it a really good bitter flavor to contrast what you would normally get from a solid bourbon choice. Let the drink sit for about 5 minutes so you get some of that flavor mixed into the drink! They also have a random photo booth (a lot of fun with a significant other) and multiple comfortable places to sit. They have live music at night, as everywhere in Nashville does, and it's just a cool vibe! This is why it is a tough review for me. I want to give 5 stars, and honestly I am telling you it is a 4.5 out of 5! BUT I got there at 5:30, not long after it opened. We were one of 2 couples in there at the time, and when I entered the bathroom it smelled like a gas station bathroom in the middle of a run down country town in Mississippi. This is supposed to be an up-scale bar that you go to looking nice and enjoying a more quiet fun time, so the bathroom, ESPECIALLY right after opening, should be clean and not make you want to throw up as you are doing your business. The drinks, people, and experience are great, but take care of the place better yall. Unacceptable to me for a place of this caliber. Can't be perfect with a bathroom like that! read more

Respecting Old Glory is as American as apple pie or baseball or trying to police the whole world. It's an unwinnable war Mr President! Anywho I can't remember what drink I got here but if I know me it was probably fruity. 5 stars read more

This place is amazing as well as the drinks are off the chart. My wife and I went to Nashville for my birthday and started our night there. It transports you back in time as a prohibition era speakeasy. It's in a old factory and they made it super cool inside. Bartenders are willing to work with you as far as what you want to drink. There are nonalcoholic drinks there also. Great place ! read more

Such a cool vibe here! The drinks are amazing! The decor and music make for a great environment and somewhere I'd definitely come back to!

Such a cool spot we happened to stumble upon while waiting for our table at a restaurant. Had an amazing old fashioned. The inside is incredible with so many cool and thoughtful touches. If you're in Nashville- check this place out! read more

I love this bar. I love the speakeasy vibe and boiler room aspect. I've had a couple of their special drinks, but they have a really good rose'. I always go here when I wanna have a drink with some friends or chill date night and it never disappoints. read more

Off the beaten path if your a tourist in Nashville. On Sunday night pretty quiet except for the music they had playing. Drinks were different, waiter a bit sassy. The place has a cool vibe and it tucked back in this mall area. read more

A speakeasy - inspired night club. The night we went, they were playing older hip-hop songs, and the crowd was light but lively. This spot came recommended to now one of my new friends [thanks for the drink! ;)], and I'm glad I got the chance to chat in such a lively environment! read more

Such a fun speakeasy! I love the hidden and dark ambiance of it and the cocktails are great. It's a smaller space but always has a DJ and good crowd! read more

So, yeah, Old Glory is STUNNING. Higher ceilings than I've ever seen in any bar or restaurant! Definitely a highly Instagram-able place! BUT...I tend to shy away from cocktails if I don't know what half the ingredients are. And I tend to shy away from places that have 10+ minute waits for drinks. And if those cocktails are overpriced. And if the place has inadequate seating And if the place gets so crowded that it institutes a "one in-one out" policy to stay under maximum capacity. This is definitely a millennial's paradise: hidden (if I remembered how to find the unmarked door, I'd tell you), expensive, clubby, expensive, etc. It just wasn't for me. Call me old, but I'd rather than out at a dive than an (admittedly totally gorgeous) overcrowded, overpriced, over-conceptualized speakeasy. I'd love to go back during the daylight hours - because it is stunning and I'd love to see it during the day when it's not as crowded. But on a Friday/Saturday night? Never again, thanks. read more

Can get a little crowded so highly recommend reserving a table in advance! Super nice building with high ceilings & surprisingly clean bathrooms. Ordering drinks at the bar can be hectic because it's right in front of the entrance stairwell but no big deal. I appreciated that every single worker I encountered was extremely kind & I was so impressed with all of the bartenders efficiency/quality; didn't have a bad drink that whole night. Will DEFINITELY be back read more

A hidden gem in Nashville (literally). The entrance is an unmarked door, but the inside is beautiful. I went the other day with a few friends and got a round of drinks. I thought my drink was delicious but my friends didn't love theirs as much. There's a great vibe here, it feels super hip. We came on a Friday night and were nervous about it being too crowded but we didn't have to wait at all and were seated in a nice, secluded booth area. read more

Stopped in for a cocktail and the vibes here are fantastic!! A bit tricky to find the door, but that's likely by design. The Duck Duck Goose with chili lime and vodka was refreshing and well balanced. Expect to pay premium pricing on cocktails @ $14ish on average. Friendly staff! read more

Fantastic speakeasy in the Edgehill area right next to Barcelona Wine bar. It's a perfect spot to grab drinks for a date night or even for a first date. The dim lightning and spaced seating, makes it a perfect place for more intimate conversations. They've got exposed brick walls, an iron staircase, with a classy vibe which makes it a find in Nashville. They have several floors with smaller high tops and also booths/tables for larger groups. It's an unmarked door, but with google maps it's not that difficult to find. Look for an iron gate and then the giant yellow triangle! Dress code: As it gets later in the night, people were definitely dressed up a little from the Nashville casual but still relatively casual. They have a short craft cocktail list with interesting twists. I would suggest sticking to their more classic cocktail. I got a coffee/coconut cocktail and not sure I was completely won over. read more

Do not come here if you are white. The DJ was trying to get everyone to be quiet so her friends can chant her name and kept repeating that "the white people can't be quiet". At the end of the night she said "it's crazy that there is 8 people in here and I can't get y'all to shut the F up". The DJ name was Afro queen. I know that because she made everyone chant it for 5 minutes. It made my group very uncomfortable and we were clearly not welcomed. read more

4 of us went here for an after dinner drink. The locals knew where it was hidden. Delicious and unique cocktails (although I opted for a yummy, classic old fashioned). Not pretentious. Cozy and yet mysterious. Industrial meets incense. Shadowy corners to tuck into and sip cocktails served by welcoming staff. Four stars only because, while wonderful, this felt like a gem only to enjoy a drink or two and move on... read more

Cool venue and concept. Very unhelpful and rude female bartender (not sure her name but she had a number of arm tattoos) who made our experience a negative one, which is the reason for the 3 stars. read more

Great Atmosphere and an interesting selection of cocktails. Our server was also very friendly.

Delicious drinks! I had the 11:11- just the right amount of sweet and tart. Very friendly wait staff. Cool industrial space with lots of industrial "decor" about which to ponder its initial use/function. Fun speakeasy vibes, though this could be enhanced by keeping the door closed rather than wide open. Only downside was a very noticeable strange unpleasant smell, most prominent on the top floor where we were sitting. However the wait staff provided us with some sage to burn, and this incense successfully covered the unpleasant smell. read more

Epic atmosphere - perhaps one of the most beautiful and unique bars I've ever visited (and I've lived in LA, SF, NYC, Paris, Milan). Kudos to Old Glory for their exquisite vision and taste. read more

Old Glory is a fascinating 1920's boiler room that was converted into a speakeasy. If you are wandering around the alley behind Taco Mamacita in Edgehill then you are not the only one lost (I must have walked back and forth a few times scratching my head). There is no sign letting you know that you have arrived. Go up a couple steps to a black door with a large golden triangle framing the wall around it. As you walk in, you will again wonder if this is where you think it is. If this thought enters your mind then yes, you're here! You will find yourself on a balcony where you descend a curved stairwell then be met with the scene of a cool bar area, the large boiler and a dark, moody ambiance. What is so interesting about this space is that they clearly did not change the original elements of the building but built around the features. There are a few small seating areas that are very cozy looking as well as another staircase past the bar which led up to additional seating (more spacious) on a balcony area overlooking the bar. There are few other spots I've discovered that has the same artistic quality as Old Glory. I came here for a networking event in the evening and I felt like I was squinting at people to try and see who I recognized. Give it a few minutes and your eyes will adjust. The bar area was very crowded so I waited patiently for a drink and attempted to squeeze around multiple people. I perused the specialty winter drink menu for 30 seconds then fixated my eyes on a drink called the Velvet Frost. The bartender put ice in a gimlet glass to chill it then started the artful mixing of the elements of the drink which included gin, coconut and pineapple. This frothy, fruity drink was topped off with a spring of some type of herb. Although on the pricier side for a cocktail I thought "when in Rome" so I went with it. It was delicious. Later on in the evening I got a Moscow mule which was made very well (although not served in a copper cup). The drinks were worth the wait. Overall, a must-have experience for any residents of Nashville. While dive bars are more my scene it is nice to dress it up a bit and have a classier experience. The ambiance is incredible, the drinks are amazing and it is a win! read more

Old Glory's atmosphere is second to none with dark, moody lighting and deep house music. I much prefer going on a quiet weekday night, as it can get very loud and overwhelmingly busy on the weekends. Drinks are well priced and with good variety. read more

Going to this chic industrial bar is like revisiting the past. No sign, the entrance is behind the building in an alley. A curved dramatic staircase descends in an old boiler room with exposed brick, very high ceilings and a huge smokestack. Kick ass music and great, strong cocktails. This bar is the real deal. No cover, too, with two levels of seating. As my friends hung out on the smaller side seating area overlooking the bar and bottom level, I saw an aerial yoga-type band hanging from the ceiling. Elevated entertainment, perhaps? Would definitely go back! read more

Went here for the first time last week and it was a great experience. Got seated right away and had great service. The drinks were fresh and served to perfection. The drinks are very sneaky and delicious. Would be going back soon for sure! read more

I've never been somewhere where the prices are so ridiculously HIGH!!!!! I got a double shot of vodka and it was $26!!!! Not to mention the 20% automatic gratuity on any order! They don't have the type of alcohol or service to be charging this. And they yelled at us for taking photos, saying we need a pass to take professional photos. Don't come here. read more

3.5 star What a hide away place! Not very many peoples know of this hideaway. Love how the old rustic brick building turn into a hipster bar. I was a bit confused how pack it was everyone just jumbo up at the bar waiting for a drink. Then 15mins later suddenly the crowds had somewhat broken up and no one on the other of the bar waiting. The flow of the crowds comes and goes. The bar tender was on a mission. She looked intimidating not much people approach her for drinks since she was so fast getting mix's out. She didn't bother to look up. We just happen to stand at a corner bar and a waitress approached us for drink orders. Yes for the price $12 a cocktails I expected to be stronger it tasted just like juice. Good luck grabbing that booth seats. Only way you will get one is literally waiting, hanging around in front of the table that your waiting on. Very limited seatings. This place is a really cool place for lounging. Grab a drink place. read more

Great cocktails in an amazing space! They get extra points in my book because they have my favorite drink, French 75, on happy hour, which I have never seen anywhere else. Along with fancy cocktails, they also have $2 beer during HH. Something for everyone! read more

WARNING: This unique Edgewood Village watering hole is BAR ONLY for craft libations (beer available for the less fortunate.) It's also hidden along an alleyway with NO SIGNAGE. YMMV depending upon how long you wander around. You just have to know. There's bound to be a reason for the name, but that's not important. Find and enter the golden framed door and follow the light into the bowels of the old boiler room that once powered White Way Cleaners, a large commercial laundry now known as Edgewood Village. Don't worry. It was a laundry, so it's all clean. Alcohol will kill anything the laundry missed. A melting pot of generational mixing, Old Glory is hip for hipsters and cool for oldsters. The bar is small to tiny, but the space...is...spacious (enough to launch an ICBM.) Large tables and additional seating are tucked multilevel around lights, candles, gigantic antique boiler parts, an acrobatic swing (that is allegedly used on a grand night,) and an unfortunate go-go dancer still in the cage where she was found behind the wall during construction. Away from the tiny bar is an even tinier warming cabinet that holds empañadas... uhm... vegetarian empañadas. Though a devout meat eater, I HIGHLY recommend the veggie chorizo (a.k.a. perfectly spiced non-rabbit.) In a word: fantastic. Ask for the homemade salsa (a marvelous jalapeno ranch variation.) There's another option from the "chorizo," but...why? Maybe next time. Earthy and musty as a beetroot, the "Green Thumb" isn't for the usual palate. It's an acquired taste. The Panther-Panther is a stretch the other direction: a  build-your-own cocktail around a frozen block of coffee. Superb with Clément Coconut liqueur, it may satisfy anyone who likes iced coffee mixed with their favorite spirit. Happy hunting! read more

Phenomenal spot. Feels like a secret hideaway, loaded with history, excellent reuse of an old space. Good cocktail menu. Variety of party size accommodations. It can be crowded at times and a little hipster-dominated, but always a nice time. Incredibly sexy spot for a date. If she's not impressed by this place, you call her a ride and lose her number. The mood and vibe are an ideal precursor for that "go back to my place" or "let's get a room" stage of the evening. Good sound system and usually a good DJ working. It can get loud and the staff can be a little overrun, but a little confidence and good tipping goes a long way. read more

3.5 There is an excitement and allure walking up to a brick building with an unmarked door in an alleyway - a very NYC feel. Stepping in you're greeted with high industrial ceilings and an iron and concrete staircase/platform that takes you down a level to the main floor where the bar is. There are a handful of stools at the bar and a few half enclosed booths across from it. If you're lucky enough to get seating on the main floor you'll be happy but the extra seating upstairs towards the back is uninspiring. Customer service was the biggest disappointment. We walked up to a server chatting with two people and waited our turn. After she finished she walked off and did not acknowledge us. Maybe she didn't see us? It seems unlikely because we could see her face but we shrugged it off. After seeing a group leaving a booth, I walked up to another server who was clearing it off to ask if it was okay that I take the table. She jumped and said, "You scared the sh*t out of me!" She of course is allowed to be startled but that was an uninviting response to further add to my previous unwelcoming encounter. Seeing the drink menu I was a little taken back by their heavily leaning vodka drinks. The only drink that piqued my curiosity was their mai tai, but I was initially craving bourbon or whiskey and there was not one drink with that option which surprised me a little (I now realize it was their summer list even though it was mid October). When it was time to order, I could tell our server wasn't too pleased with our questions, and even more dissatisfied when I misheard her and thought she was asking for our ID's, but was really asking for a credit card to hold the tab. It just threw me off because I never get asked for a credit card in advance while sitting at a table someplace... Thankfully our drinks redeemed the evening. Some people complain about price but I felt my mai tai was worth every penny. In spite of poor service, I would come back to show off this place to someone new. read more

Wow! No words or pictures do this place justice. A hidden speakeasy in the most magical building. Once you enter you are blown away by the detail/architecture of the place. There is no sign saying where this place is, but google images helped us find it. We were welcomed with polite gentlemen at the bar. They reassured us anything we ordered we would not regret and they were right! All the drinks were exotic and beautifully executed. There's multi, quaint levels and we got a whole floor to ourselves to spread out on Gatsby-style furniture. This is by far our new favorite spot in Nashville. Breath-taking. read more

I am not nearly hip enough to go back to this bar after 10pm, but I am so, so glad we went! It is a gorgeous, cavernous room that was converted from some sort of furnace room in a factory and has hidden nooks as well as multiple levels of rooms for people-watching. The drinks were fancy and expensive (of course) but I didn't feel completely out of place there even though I had on more clothes than most and my friends and I were probably 10 years older than most people there. My local friend has only ever gone for the happy hour crowd and was not expecting the club crowd, but we made it work. I'd love to check it out again. read more

What a hidden gem!!! Giving them four stars BC of the limited seatings but I loved this place, cool vibe, great music and awesome drinks!! Saturday nite it was busy BC its not a very big space.

Extremely disappointed with Old Glory after an outing Saturday night. Having frequented here several times over the past year, it became a favorite. I loved that I could actually sit with some good cocktails and have a conversation with people. Saturday night, I decided to invite my friends to Old Glory for my birthday celebration. It seems like it has gone from Speakeasy/chill vibe bar to a broadway-wannabe bar. The music was generic and overpowering all conversations due to its volume. When I tried to politely ask the waitress if they could turn it down a few notches, she scoffed and said no rudely. When I said my friends and I couldn't hear each other, she said "that's the point". It seemed they were catering to the broadway crowds, even though only about 10% of the people were dancing. Everyone else seemed frustrated. Y the noise level. Again, I loved this spot before this hard shift. I would strongly urge they take off the "speakeasy" description or be clear with people what to expect on weekends. read more

Very cool vibe, great music, speakeasy feel. Drinks were great, service was outstanding. A unique spot worth visiting
