"Barrel Proof Nashville is the second location of the New Orleans Garden District bar from partners Liam Deegan, Jason Sorbet, and Robert LeBlanc. Located in Germantown next to First Horizon Park, the emphasis at this casual hang is on brown spirits — the bar inside boasts over 300 bottles, with 80 percent of them falling squarely in the whiskey category. Don’t expect servers here — or the ability to make reservations. Place your order for food at the open kitchen window and wait for a buzzer to alert you when your cheeseburger is ready to be picked up." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
