The Best Espresso Martinis in Nashville

Espresso martinis have been the “it” drink of the last couple of years, and there are no shortage of places around town to find one. I’m no coffee connoisseur, so I polled my Instagram followers, and these are the ones they voted on (as well as a few not mentioned, if you want to venture out on your own!) Places in bold received multiple votes!

Of course, as with any list on the Tip Jar, menus are subject to change, so please contact the restaurant before you go.

1865 Club

Others:

These are ones not mentioned by my followers, but likely worth trying out!

12 South

Urban Grub – The 12South staple offers an espresso martini regularly, but features 2 additional coffee cocktails on their brunch menu.

Downtown

Hampton Social – a Grey Goose version, also available in large format

The River House – upscale with a dress code

Germantown

Geist – Geist’s vibe fits a bougie drink. While I suspect that many place’s espresso martinis are actually cold brew cocktails, Geist’s definitely is, so keep that in mind if you’re a purist.

Marathon Village

Greenbrier Distillery – One of my favorite brunches, and they make the liquor on site, so that’s a pretty good sign…

Midtown

Henley – using Honest Coffee Roasters espresso, Henley’s option is currently only on the brunch menu, so give them a call first if you’re wanting to try it another time.

Hi-Fi Clyde’s – pairs well with the hangover-cure brunch menu (but it’s actually really good)

Tavern – Nashville’s favorite brunch is back, serving an espresso martini with a citrus twist

White Limozeen – If ever a restaurant was designed specifically for Instagram, it’s White Limozeen at the top of the Graduate hotel.

The Gulch

Two Hands – their version has a “banana bread” spin with oat milk and crème de banane

A little extra: park in the Prima Garage and Two Hands will give you a code for up to 2.5 hours free parking.

Mockingbird – made with Frothy Monkey cold brew

Wedgewood Houston

Earnest Bar and Hideaway – The restaurant pays homage to Ernest Hemingway and seems to only offer their version at brunch. Hemingway himself would surely approve of some day drinking.

Multiple Locations:

Snooze – the Gulch and East; one of the few chain restaurants I really crave. It’s so good!

Did I miss any? Nashville menus are always changing, so if you find one that’s not on my list, please let me know! And if you have any reviews of the above – good or bad – leave a comment so we can all learn from your wisdom!

P.P.S. Are you heading to Broadway after your ‘tinis? If so, here are some ideas of what to wear:

Vibe: Anything goes, and you can get away with ALL the bling! Try a denim dress (this sleeveless version comes in pink and black, too, and I like the collar on this style) or jump suit with a rhinestone belt and pair with a fun set of sparkly boots (with fringe!).

Places Open on Mondays in Nashville

There’s never a shortage of places to eat and drink in Nashville…but sometimes on a Monday, it sure seems hard to find places open on Mondays in Nashville! Yet, Monday is one of my favorite days to go out – it’s something to look forward to on what is usually an otherwise dreaded day.

So, by request, below is your guide to restaurants, bars, and breweries that are open on Monday (some are closed on Tuesday instead, though, so I’ve noted that where applicable).
