The 17 Best Bars In Nashville 2024

"Aptly occupying bay number 6 of an old car wash in East Nashville is this little bar that goes big on cocktails. The 14-seat nook whips up things like sherri cobblers infused with nori and fish sauce, pours of rum made with mushrooms, and even a tiny Negroni called Where’s My Hug. As one of the only stand-alone bars in the city open at 11am, you can get a proper drink while you get some work done and curb your mid-day hunger with some Thai chicken from S.S. Gai. We’ve been to Bay 6 so many times, we carved our name on one of the barstools (criminal mischief be damned). And we've never had a bad drink here. " - bailey freeman, ann walczak
