"Want to meet up with a date and split an order of really good bread, marinated olives, and fries cooked in pork fat while sipping a special wine you’ve never had before? Yeah, you do, and you want to do it at Butterlamp. In the world of new age wine bars, few have mastered the formula of interesting wine + amazing bread + cozy interiors like this East Nashville spot. Stop by for a moody dinner full of slices of bread topped with poached tomatoes and fermented marigold in the candlelight. The fun wine descriptions like “dark berries that skip more than grip,” “green earthy pop rocks,” and “Big Miley Cyrus can’t be tamed vibes” are the perfect conversation starters." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
