"Here’s how we’ve described Coral Club to all our friends: Pirates of the Caribbean but with a shower, money, and more booze besides rum. This second-floor hangout has candle wax art melted into the wall, booths carved into large sand dune-like structures, and bartenders with Jack Sparrow’s level of cheek. All that to say, The Coral Club is one of the hottest places to drink in Nashville. Bartenders proudly say things like “that drink f*cks” while handing you a Negroni riff with the addition of sherry, hip young professionals sip non-alcoholic Campari soda tastealikes, and, oh look, there’s Kacey Musgraves. On Wednesdays, they also host the Pizza Lolo pop-up that makes Neapolitan-esque pies with toppings like Sichuan ground pork and sweet and sour pickles." - ann walczak, bailey freeman, adam sloan
