where to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and Easter in Nashville

The post Where to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and Easter in Nashville first appeared on The Tip Jar.

I’m a mimosa girlie, so these spots are specific to mimosas. But I noticed that MANY also offer bottomless bloody Marys, too, so use this as your starting place if you prefer the more savory brunch cocktail.

As always, restaurant offerings change regularly. So, always be sure to double-check before heading out anywhere! (Also, some have a 90-minute or 2 hour time limit, so keep that in mind.)

Sorted by neighborhood (with notes for the ones I’ve specifically tried):

Berry Hill/Melrose:

Fenwicks 300 (not technically bottomless, but they sell $18 carafes, so…)

Big Machine: Technically, vimosas (they’re made with vodka instead of prosecco), they’re yummy whatever you call them, especially when you can create your own from their juice and topping bar. And, the patio is excellent. Brunch 7 days a week!

Downtown:

Boqueria: tapas in a fun environment in 5th & Broadway; great for starting a Broadway day drinking day (also includes a bottomless sangria, bloody, and marg option!)

The Farm House: cozy, farm-to-table spot tucked away downtown (also bloodies and beer’mosas)

Liberty Common: beautiful, French vibes and bottomless mimosas (and bellinis) EVERY DAY (Thurs-Sun)

Stateside Kitchen: a DJ brunch; this one can get quite lively… (Fri-Sun). Bottomless frose and bloodies, too!

Tenn in Holston House: Every day – includes bloodies and bellinis, too.

East Nashville:

Waymore’s – every day!

Germantown:

Germantown Cafe: You won’t see the word bottomless on the menu, but don’t worry – Germantown Cafe will help you stay well-imbibed, with a fun vibe, delicious food, and bottomless bloody Marys and frose (!!), too – or mix and match! Reservations strongly recommended. 

The Gulch:

Federales: Go for the bottomless food and/or add on the bottomless drinks (mimosas or vodkas). This is definitely a more party vibe as the day goes on with a DJ, so go early if you want a more chill, acoustic experience.

STK: An elevated brunch experience, they have an all-you-can eat brunch experience, as well as bottomless mimosas, bloodies, sangria, and tequila sunrise.  

Hillsboro Village:

Twenty-First – also bloody Mary’s.

Midtown:

Commons Club at the Virgin Hotel (also bottomless rosé) – I can’t currently find a menu to confirm this, so maybe call first!

Sylvan Park:

Park Cafe: Old school style, great food, a patio with live music – and of course, bottomless mimosas – as well as bloodies, aperol spritz, and beer!

Wedgewood Houston:

Mercado: Butchertown Hall’s WeHo expansion, Mercado has a great atmosphere, biscuits with brown butter that you cannot miss, and flavored mimosas! PLUS, rooftop dining – and carafes of margs!

Dos Santos: Intimate, but also good for the whole gang, and everything I’ve tried there is delicious!

If you know of any I missed, please let me know, and I’ll add them. Cheers, y’all!

SB

P.S. Wondering what to wear to brunch in Nash? Here are a few ideas (As an Amazon Associate, I earn commission from qualifying purchases):

• Check out this ruffled bodysuit, and pair it with some breezy palazzo pants, or go for a pretty sundress or chic pantsuit. Add these cute Crocs sandals (yes, I said cute and crocks in the same sentence!) or these Hermes dupes, and finish it off with a cute crossbody bag.
• For winter vibes, keep the bodysuit, swap the palazzos for trouser jeans, and grab a suede blazer and some fashion sneakers for a put together look.

P.P.S. Have you seen my post about the BEST Nashville brunches (right now!)?

The post Where to find Bottomless Mimosas (and bloody Marys!) in Nashville first appeared on The Tip Jar.

I’ve noted specific locations of restaurants with multiple shops because those are the ones I can vouch for. The other locations may be great as well, and this list will be updated as I find more crispies!

Assembly Food Hall – Downtown

I can only vouch for the fountains on the Prince’s side of the Hall, but those are excellent. Pairs well with any of the local restaurants in the Food Hall!

Baja Burrito – Berry Hill

Go for the Diet Coke, stay for the incredible tacos and burritos.

Caliber Coffee – Donelson

Cheating on this one because it’s not DC brand. But it’s a good sugar free cola, reasonably priced, and at a coffee shop – what other coffee shops have any fountain sodas, period?

Cledis – Bellevue

I’ve heard the Elm Hill one is crispy, too, but I know the fountain on the left in Bellevue is fire.

Doublz – Donelson

This is a locally owned location of a family owned business and they are always so nice! A great option for a drive through DC.

Edley’s – Donelson

I’m going to have to test the other Edley’s to see if they’re as good, but Donelson is a chef’s kiss DC!

Elliston Place Soda Shop – Midtown

It would be a real shame if a soda shop didn’t have a crispy DC. Fortunately, they do. 😅

Gordo’s Taqueria – WeHo

They need bigger cups and smaller ice cubes…but the Diet Coke is crispy! And the food is good, too.

Hattie B’s Hot Chicken – West

They put hot chicken on the map, and they stay coming in clutch with their DC.

Little Hats Market – Germantown

Honestly, with all their specialty products, I wouldn’t expect them to have a good fountain soda situation, but it’s very, very good.

McDougal’s – Edgehill

The cups are small, so go sparingly on the ice if you’re taking it to go. But they’ve got the good ice, so honestly, just stick around and eat there!

Mr. J’s Original – Downtown

Burgers, pastrami, chicken, and more diner food. I could tell straight from the fountain it was going to be good – and it’s perfect. Plus they have the good ice.

Poke Nash – Sylvan Park

The syrup was slightly off, I think, but still good. And maybe that means more soda because it was extra crispy! And the poke bowl was very good, too!

Prince’s Hot Chicken – Tanger Outlets

I could tell by how fizzy it was coming out of the machine that it was going to be top tier. Might be my current fave.

Waldo’s Chicken & Beer – Germantown

Waldo’s is honestly not my personal favorite food-wise (I may be in the minority here). But, the Germantown location has one of the best DC’s.

McDonald’s – everywhere

Sorry – it’ll just always be number 1. (Use the app, and get it for $1.10 up to four times a day!)

Any that I’ve missed? I’m always on the hunt for a crispy Diet Coke, so bookmark this page and check back for ongoing additions!

A few months ago, I polled my Instagram followers to ask where the best bars for actual conversation were. Every spot on this list received multiple recommendations.

I can’t personally vouch for all of them (I did get a date at Mother’s, but he was 24, and I am…not. lolol), but I can present the info to do with it as you will.

• Barrel Proof – Germantown
• Cherrie’s – East Nashville
• Embers – 12 South
• Jonathan’s (this is the Germantown location specifically; not sure about the other locations)
• Lakeside Lounge – East Nashville
• Mother’s Ruin – Germantown. I strongly recommend during the week, unless you’re under 29. And watch your drink.
• North Italia – Green Hills, but I bet Cool Springs would be good, too
• Otto’s – Sylvan Park/The Nations
• Red Door Saloon – probably all the locations? Midtown, East, Donelson
• Sperry’s – happy hour at the bar is the place to be. Belle Meade and Cool Springs.
• Villager Tavern – Hillsboro Village

And here are a few more recommendations, but only one person gave the suggestion, so keep that in mind.

12 South

• Bartaco
• Urban Grub

Capitol View

• ML Rose

60 Vines – Downtown

Worth the trip downtown, the super high ceilings and natural light, combined with delicious frozé, charcuterie, and pizzas make it an essential add.

1865 Club – North Nash

A speakeasy with gorgeous chandeliers, velvet furniture, and craft cocktails.

Butterlamp – East

Known for their wine and bread – the original girl dinner? 

Cafe Roze – East

Cozy with subtle feminine nods, and an oyster happy hour.

Coral Club – East

Apparently, it looks just like Tulum… I wouldn’t know, but I do know the candle aesthetic and good drinks make for a great GNO. 

Fait La Force – WeHo

A brewery for the girls – or at least one decorated with an elegant, eclectic aesthetic.

Fonda – 12 South

A pink aesthetic with the cutest guac holder you’ve ever seen. 12 South

Love’s Alibi – the Gulch

The Gulch’s newest addition pays tribute to female rock icons

Love & Exile – East

Go for the wine, stay for the frozen drinks, incredible patio, and overall pretty vibe.

Pont Neuf – West Nashville

Named after the bridge in Paris, with dreamy curtains and seating and gorgeous flowers from Amelia’s. 

Sadie’s – Edgehill

Bright and floral with a delicious froze and a whipped feta with pomegranate that cannot be missed.

Now that you know where to go for Girl’s Night Out in Nashville, the only question is…who are you inviting?? Cheers to girlhood and friendship! ✨

Cozy Bars in Nashville

• 1865 Club in North Nashville – head through the iron gates, around to the back of the building by the pool, and you’ll find a true speakeasy. You might feel like you’re in a cave when you enter, but the yummy cocktails and beautiful decor will remind you that you’re still in civilization.
• The Amsterdamian in East is downright sexy with its plush decor and lo-fi jams.
• Attaboy this no-menu hotspot is a perennial favorite. It’s tiny and popular, so expect a wait to be admitted if you go on a busy night.
• The Authentique in East is a French-owned wine bar and creperie and it is perfect for an intimate date. Reservations are recommended.
• Cafe Babu – Wedgewood Houston coffee shop by day, cozy cocktail and wine bar by night (Thurs-Sat). It’s always a vibe, but it is tiny; they have a great patio with firepits, too, though!
• Nashville City Club: The Study – even though this is a member’s only club, their ground floor bar is open to the public and is an excellent, under-the-radar spot Downtown.
• Coral Club – Apparently, this is what Tulum looks like. But this bar has a gorgeous candle lit entry way followed by an interior of dim lighting. It’s all about the vibes at Coral Club (the drinks are good, too.) In East.
• Ernie’s Boondock (no Instagram/website, but they’re below Up Down in East!) – This bar is known for their cheap beer, so it can get rowdy. But, the atmosphere is 1970s basement, complete with a fireplace. So, it gets the cozy stamp of approval!
• The Fox in East is one of the most celebrated bars in Nashville for good reason. It’s not a speakeasy, but it feels like one and is quite popular. And, they boast an extensive, well-crafted mocktail menu, as well.
• Golden Sound in the Gulch – this former recording studio is another vintage-vibed spot, featuring delicious craft cocktails.
• Grandpa Bar in North Nashville – if your grandparents’ home isn’t cozy, I don’t know what is. Stop in for some of the best espresso martinis in the city.
• The Green Hour at Tempered – this delicious chocolate shop turns into a cozy absinthe and cocktail bar Thursdays-Saturdays. Look for the green light!
• The Patterson House – one of Nashville’s OG craft cocktail bars, now located in the Gulch. Moody vibes and a superb drink menu.
• Rosemary & Beauty Queen in East – this beautiful restored house has all kinds of eclectic hiding spots.
• Sidebar – the bar no one has ever heard of. Part of the Bode hotel downtown, sidebar consistently has some of the best cocktails in town. They regularly have fun holiday pop-ups, but always have an intimate, dim atmosphere.
• Urban Cowboy East – head to the Parlor Bar for a glass of wine, or outside to one of the fire pits. Cozy either way.
• Urban Cowboy Downtown – the downstairs gives an Old West bar and is an oasis downtown. And stay tuned for their speakeasy, Armadillo Lounge, coming soon!

These spots are sure to scratch your cozy itch, but if you’re looking for even more places to feel snug and warm, check out my list of the coziest coffee shops in town!

Nashville – Restaurant Review: Pastis

Pastis, a favorite restaurant from New York’s Meatpacking district, has been slowly extending it’s reach, and Nashville is now home to it’s fourth location!

This restaurant opened to QUITE a buzz and questions as to whether it would live up to it’s NYC’s sister location. Aesthetically, the two mirror each other, with Nashville featuring the classic curved zinc bar, signature subway tiles, and mosaic-tiled floor people may recognize from the New York location.

The service is excellent (having never been to the NYC spot, I can’t compare – but I venture to guess Nashville’s southern Hospitality is always going to win out).

But the real question is, how’s the food?

I’m here to tell you – it’s delicious. Everything we tried was so good, from the steak tartare to the shrimp salad to the pancakes and the eggs Norwegian (salmon benedict). And of course, the cocktails.

Obviously, pancakes and eggs are features of the brunch menu, but many of the other brunch items are also available at lunch and dinner (like the steak tartare and shrimp salad), so I feel confident recommending Pastis for any meal. And I personally can’t wait to go back from the onion soup.

My only gripe with the restaurant is not really with them, per se, but rather everyone who refers to the restaurant as a classic French bistro. It is not. I majored in French and studied abroad in Paris, and those cafes are MUCH smaller, with tables right on top of each other, and quieter voices.

It really reminds me more of turn-of-the-century New York than Paris. But, either way, it captures the romantic essence of an exciting time in dining history.

Dress code is business casual, maybe? I saw many cute dresses at brunch, but you could get away with a nice set of jeans and a cute top. This is not an athleisure spot. For men, slacks and a polo or button down is more than appropriate, especially during the day.

Prices skew towards the bougie side, but I would not classify Pastis as “fine dining”. Perhaps $$$ out of 4.

Reservations are strongly suggested. Parking is on your own in Wedgewood Houston; there are a few paid lots nearby.

For foodies, Francophiles, and fans of the original, Pastis is a great experience and brings a cosmopolitan flair to Nashville. It’s worth the hype.

(As always, check with the business before heading out. Hours change all the time.)

Nashville Coffee Shops Open Late: Where to Get Caffeine After 5 PM

12 South/Edgehill

Land of A Thousand Hills – the Edgehill location stays open until 9 all week (6 on Sundays) and the back half transforms into a social space at 6 pm. It’s literally business in the front, party in the back! (I’m super proud of myself for that one.)

The Salty – A great option in 12 South. Despite being the only non-local shop on this list, the Salty deserves a spot for being open until 8 during the week, and 10 on Fridays and Saturdays. And, their donuts are really good.

Berry Hill/WeHo/South Nash

8th & Roast – Melrose. The OG 8th & Roast location has dedicated parking, is cozy, and stays open til 6 every day.

Americano Lounge – WeHo. This moody spot is one of my favorite places to read. Their hours vary, but from Tues-Sat, they are open until at least 10.

Cafe Babu – WeHo. From Thursday-Saturday, catch Cafe Babu open until 9 pm. It’s designed for socializing, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a spot to work.

Humphrey’s Street – the WeHo location is open until 6, Mon-Fri (they close at 4 on the weekends). It’s a great option for extending your day just a little longer (and giving back to the community.

Paper Street – Berry Hill. Open Mon-Fri until 6:30 (and 5 on Sat/Sun).

Primitive – South Nash. Open until 9 M-F and 6 on Saturdays. (Closed Sundays)

Red Bicycle Woodbine – While this popular shop can fill up quickly, they’re open until 6 during the week and have a great food menu to keep you going.

Donelson

Caliber – open every day until 8 (but closed on Sunday). They also have a good food menu, so a great option if you need to work through dinner.

Sunflower Bakehouse – really more restaurant than coffee shop, but they do have a full coffee menu and some of my favorite baked goods (vegan and gluten free!), so it counts. Open until 9, except Sundays close at 3.

Downtown/Midtown

Crema – a Nashville institution, they’re open until 6 except Sundays close at 4 (same for the Brentwood location).

Kahawa – this gorgeous African themed coffee shop is open until 10 7 days a week – we love to see it.

East

Bongo East – the game board aficionado’s paradise is open until 10 every night.

Haraz – hours vary, but they’re open until at least 10 every night. Note: this is more of a social spot than a working spot.

International Tea & Coffee – open til 6 Wed-Sat (only until 5 the rest of the week and closed Monday).

Living Waters – coffee shop and brewery. At some point they mainly switch to beer, but it’s still a good hang with some n/a options. Open until 8 or 9 every night.

Sip Cafe – whether you’re craving coffee or ice cream, Sip has you covered until 9 during the week and 10 on Saturday and Sunday.

Ugly Mugs – a remote workers haven, Ugly Mugs is open until 6 every night.

Madison

Passage Kava – more of a kava bar than anything else, they do serve coffee and an array of mocktails and other (all n/a) beverages. And it’s the only option that’s open until 2 am – every day!

The Nations/West Nash

8th & Roast – The Charlotte location of 8&R is one of my favorite places for working, with lots of natural light and tons of seating. And they’re open until 6 every day.

Living Waters – same as the East location: coffee shop and brewery. At some point they mainly switch to beer, but it’s still a good hang with some n/a options. Open until 8 or 9 every night.

Cafe Sperry’s – head to Bellevue to find tons of parking, tons of seating, and good outlet placements. The back room is super cozy, too, with a library feel and fireplace. Open until 6 every day.

If reading a book at night is what you’re seeking, you may want to cross check this list with my guide to places to read in Nashville after work! And for other N/A options, check out my list of Nashville bars that serve mocktails!
