Tucked away in a strip mall, Coral Club offers a chill, modern spot with cave-like charm, stunning outdoor vibes, and fantastic cocktails perfect for a relaxed night out.
"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
"The bamboo-clad exterior of an unassuming building is the only clue that you’ll soon be transported to a coastal hideaway. Pass through a hallway festooned with dripping candles and find yourself in an airy, comfy oasis where the tiny martinis flow, particularly during happy hour. Those tiny ‘tinis are ice cold (classic or dirty) and served in teeny coupes; at $5 apiece they’re perfect for afternoon cocktail snacking. Also on offer: $10 margaritas, gimlets, and old fashioneds, $8 rose palomas, and $3 draft Pacificos. Snag a bag of truffle popcorn for $7 to stay fueled up for the long hall. Happy hour takes place daily from 4 p.m.-6 p.m." - Ellen Fort
"WHEN: Daily, 4-7pm THE DEAL: $5 Tiny Tini (Classic or Dirty), $10 Margarita, Gimlet, or Old Fashioned, $8 Rose Paloma, $3 draft Pacifico, $6 Black Truffle Popcorn When you step into Coral Club, you’ll walk through a candlelight passageway that feels extraordinarily far away from the outside world. The staff is friendly and the martinis are tiny, so grab a seat at the bar if they’re not slammed, and slurp down a classic Tiny Tini with a bag of black truffle popcorn while you decide what to order next. We recommend their classic Old Fashioned or even more ‘tinis." - adam sloan
"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 East Nashville 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. By 9pm, the lights will dim so far you won’t be able to see to find the bathroom, but that’s just part of the fun." - ann walczak
