The 13 Best Tiny Bars in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"The tiniest spot on the tiny bar list also happens to be the oldest. Built in the 1840s, the Smith House is where you’ll find The Standard’s three-seat bar. Take a lap to check out the historical opulence on display, including the tin ceiling and the space that once housed Tennessee’s first bowling alley. In the mood to splurge? Order the $65 ribeye. In the mood to save? Order $10 a-la-carte veggies like the bacon-braised green beans or the truffle hash cake. Whatever you order, take a moment to appreciate the fact that this may be the one place left downtown where men can’t wear jerseys, sleeveless shirts, or sandals." - Ashley Brantley
