Rooftop lounge with skyline views, pool, craft cocktails, and American fare
"The Joseph Hotel’s 21st floor is home to Denim, an all-day indoor-outdoor rooftop lounge centered around a gorgeous outdoor pool and deck that got a glow-up just in time for summer. New plush lounge seating inside and the same jaw-dropping view outside, the revamp comes with fresh menu items like yellowtail crudo and caviar and potato pavé. New cocktails are also joining the lineup, from a gold-flecked tequila conction to a white sangria. You can lean into the luxury by reserving a cabana." - Kellie Walton
"The Joseph Hotel’s 21st floor is home to Denim, an all-day indoor-outdoor rooftop lounge centered around a gorgeous outdoor pool and deck. James Beard Award-winning chef Tony Mantuano oversees a menu of fresh salads, flatbreads, sandwiches, and dishes like sesame-crusted ahi, all served with sweeping views of the skyline and the Cumberland River. You can lean into the luxury by reserving a cabana. (Note: Denim officially re-opens for the season later this spring.)" - Kellie Walton, Eater Staff
"With acclaimed restaurant Yolan downstairs and the upscale spaghetti-western-themed speakeasy Four Walls, the Joseph Hotel is a choose-your-own-adventure of fine dining and drinking options — and that also includes the rooftop bar Denim. It has a completely enclosed indoor portion as well as a sleek outdoor pool framed with elegant cabanas and poolside heaters for outdoor dining year-round. Celebrate “Bonfire Season” with the eponymous drink featuring mezcal, chile liqueur, dark chocolate, and toasted almond bitters." - Clara Wang
"The cabanas at the Joseph’s rooftop bar, Denim, are ablaze this holiday season with fireplaces and festive treats to warm up the evening. Running through the new year, you can reserve a private outdoor cabana for the day or evening accompanied by bites and drinks like the chef-curated cheese and charcuterie board paired with a gourmet s’mores kit ($75 per person), a winter fondue pot ($50 per person) simmering with Emmentaler and gruyère cheeses, and optional tasting flights of bourbon for an additional $25-35 per person. Reservations can be made here." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"I visited a poolside rooftop 21 stories above Nashville with skyline and Cumberland River views, craft cocktails, and an all-day Italian and American menu by Michelin-starred Chef Tony Mantuano; the sophisticated, inviting deck features a curated soundtrack and a lush living plant wall." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.
