    Cigar

    On par for cost in Nashville. Staff was awesome. I didn't have a collar shirt but they have vests and jackets I could use. Awesome experience

    This was probably the only authentic speakeasy I went to on my tour. Be sure to become a member before you visit! This place gets a 5 for ambience and service. That jazzy speakeasy I was looking for ... I was transported back home in Chicago with Sinatra's smooth iconic voice slipping down into the leather seats, a cigar lounge stoically standing upright in the backdrop, with the room so dimly lit, it feels like moonlight. The drink I had, the recommended Paper Plane, was meh, but the Absinthe and other drinks at the table were good; the snacks were solid (we had the meatball trio)- but the vibe was right on.

    Wonderful selection of whiskey. Staff is fantastically engaging. Drinks were all very well made. Great cigar selection as well. You will leave smelling of smoke so don't complain. Need a number to enter, it's a private club so you need to be a member, or know a member.

    I have visited many cigar lounges across America and Red Phone Booth Nashville has made it to my top 3. The ambiance, staff ("Cash" bartender) is essential to the reputation and vibes that give you that blast to the past, speakeasy, underground exclusive experience. Try the pizza, excellent ingredients! I will definitely be back!!!

    This place is well known, but the catch is, you have to find out what the phone number is to get in. Enter into the Red Phone Booth and use the rotary phone with the correct number and then a secret door opens. Pretty cool! We found the phone number on Reddit, but you can ask locals or surrounding hotels for the number and they will know. It is a cigar lounge/1920's inspired eatery. We went early enough to avoid the . For a cigar bar, you don't notice the smell of any smoke for those who don't want to walk out of the place smelling like you just hung out with Don Draper. (Although if he was there I'd have made an exception ) We got some delicious drinks and a veggie hummus platter For cocktails, I got the Aviation which is a gin based drink with just the right amount of tart and sweet , my hubby got the Paper Plane which is a bourbon based drink. We both really enjoyed the drinks and vibe. We would have ordered another round, but we had places to go and see! Definitely a nice first stop of the night if you are in Nashville, and off the strip

    I love visiting a good speakeasy when traveling but Red phone booth missed the mark in my opinion. While visiting Nashville, my family and I went to this speakeasy before a night out. I loved the concept of dialing the secret number in the old school red phone booth to open the door. There was a long line outside the booth though so I'm not sure how much of a secret this speakeasy is. When we got inside, I thought the vibes inside were warm and elegant. Our waitress that took the order was sweet and I ordered an old fashioned, the Ramos fizz, and the steak sliders. The flavor of the steak in the sandwich was good but the piece barely filled half the bun in each slider. Also once we got our drinks, I was disappointed that we never saw our waitress the rest of the night. I thought the Ramos fizz tasted like warm dirty water which I hoped to switch out. We had to flag another waitress to switch the drink out and then another for our bill at the end of the night. Maybe we came to Red phone booth at an odd time but my experience at this speakeasy was sub par on the night I visited.

    We really like the vibe of this place. It's super cool and I would definitely recommend hitting it up if you're in town. I loved that it was a classy joint and collars were required for the gentlemen, and if they didn't have one, they were given a sport coat to wear. I'm a big fan of dressing up so I loved this rule. Our drinks were fabulous, the Old Fashioned was super smokey and awesome! Our server was really great and took great care of us. The only downside--for us--was that we didn't know it was also a cigar lounge, so the smoke caught us off guard. It was pretty thick when we first got there but we were seated at a table in the front of the bar so it wasn't too bad and we got used to it. Walking to the bathrooms though I had to hold my breath because the smoke was really thick. Overall it was a win and the cocktails are definitely worth stopping in for! Oh and definitely take time to read all of the 1st page of the menu, it's hilarious! Another reason I loved this place.

    This place is so cool... from the London phone booth outside to the cigar bar inside, this speakeasy is the place to be. The food and drinks were yummy and the servers were fantastic. It's a spot I will try to visit everytime I'm back in Nashville

    The speakeasy experience was a fun adventure. We were trying to find out how to access to the phone number for the booth. We learned that if you sign up on their website for emails you receive the code for the phone booth . Food was amazing! Drinks were full of flavor and a great price ($16) for the quality and strength. The only downside if there is one was all the cigar smoke. This was well worth the adventure, the food and the drinks. The ambiance was of a 1920's Prohibition speakeasy.

    Do I need a membership to go in?

    No you don't. Just go on their website and ask for an access phone number. Or likely your hotel concierge can get you it. Ultimately, if you just show up they probably will get you in unless they are fully occupied.

    Can men wear a polo shirt and jeans? I will be celebrating my 50th birthday and would love to have a drink or two. My husband is more of a casual guy.

    Yes, a polo shirt is fine, you just have to have a collared shirt otherwise they will have you put one on from their closet.

    If with our family, can I bring my 20 year old daughter?

    Unfortunately, we are a 21 and over facility since we serve tobacco and alcohol.

    Does it have a Pool table?

    Yes, in the back room, there is a pool table and sports on the tvs. Enjoy!

    Is this 18+?

    Yes, its a bar and cigar lounge.

    What's the code?

    Go to one of the local hotels concierge and they will give you a card

    Is smoking allowed in the bar area or is it a separate area?

    Cigars only - they have a humidor that you can visit with one of the bartenders.

    Is there reasonably priced parking nearby?

    We actually walked from our hotel - but is on the edge of downtown away from the crowds. There is street parking and I recall a large lot nearby that was fairly empty during a weeknight in the summer when the heart of downtown was crowded. I think… 

    I have the code from a couple years ago. Has the code changed since then?

    Got the code from a new hotel.

    I would like to come to your bar while in Nashville would you please tell me the code?

    I not certain they actually provide you the number, may be not how they want it handled, but certainly if you went into any local hotel to the Red Phone, the concierge knows the code or has a business card to give you with the code. Not a lot of… 

    How do you get the code?

    Sell your soul 😈👹

    Can you tell me the dress code? We are visiting from California and my husband wasn't to dress appropriately.

    Gentlemen: no open toe shoes, collared shirt, no baseball style hats. Dress shorts are allowed. Ladies: No athletic wear, no baseball style hats, nothing to short or… 

    Is there a good way to secure the code? Coming in a few weeks to celebrate a friends birthday and would love to come here. Thanks !

    Look up hotels near the RPB and give their concierge a call. Most in the area have the code.

    I am new to Nashville. How do I get the code?

    You need to be a member to get the code. The time I went they had it opened up to anyone. Sorry

    What's the code?

    The Ariston - Fully stocked humidor with a variety of premium cigars

    "This used to be Blend. What a spectacular collapse in standards…read more The space is still nice and the humidor selection is solid -- unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Staff at the humidor offered zero guidance or recommendations. Drinks were forgettable, and we had to fetch them ourselves from the bar like we were at a college sports pub instead of an upscale cigar lounge. Then came the cigars. We were left to cut and light them ourselves, which would've been fine if every disposable torch in the place wasn't nearly empty or completely out of butane. Nothing says 'premium lounge experience' quite like fighting for a working lighter. To top it off, the moment a large group walked in, the bartender started loudly screaming out drink orders across the room. The entire atmosphere instantly shifted from refined cigar lounge to livestock auction barn. This place is living off the reputation of what Blend used to be. If you're expecting an elevated experience, look elsewhere."

The vibe is laid-back but still stylish, and it feels like a cool hidden spot away from the usual chaos. They offer signature cocktails along with a full bar, and there's a wide selection of cigars to choose from. Even though I'm not usually a cigar smoker, it was fun to try something new. I had the Acid Blondie (I think that's the name), and it had a sweet, fruity kick that made for a really smooth and enjoyable finish. Our server was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. She also made me an espresso martini that was really good--perfectly balanced and smooth. Overall, The Ariston is definitely a cool little vibe. Whether you're into cigars or just want a unique cocktail spot downtown, it's worth checking out.
