The 11 Most Fun Dinner Spots In Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"People go to church for lots of reasons. If yours happens to include Peking duck and glasses of skin-contact gruner veltliner, you’re probably well-acquainted with Bad Idea. There’s no mistaking that this Lao wine bar was a church in a past life—there are super-high ceilings, ornate arch windows, and booths that resemble pews. But these days, you’re more likely to corral a group of friends here after a show at the Basement and continue the party until 1am with golden curry corndogs and bologna sandwiches schmeared with potato chip aioli. We’re not sure if it’s the bottles of bubbly lambrusco or the late-night menu’s elevated riffs on munchies, but everyone in the dining room is living it up. And we say amen to that. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
