"Coral Club is equal parts candlelit sand cave and Amalfi villa, perched right in the center of East Nashville. Their Happy Hour is pretty great (all hail the tiny martini), but the real fun happens after 9pm when the lights dim and the music cranks. On weekends, a DJ is spinning house or techno until 1am, sometimes later if the party is really lively. They also host a weekly pizza pop-up on Wednesdays, where Pizza Lolo makes Neapolitan-esque pies with toppings like Sichuan ground pork and sweet and sour pickles. If you’ve ever wondered where your favorite Nashville bartender (or your favorite food and drink writer) goes for a round of rosé palomas or something shaken with ube, they’re probably here." - adam sloan
