Hathorne is a charming Nashville spot with an inviting porch and a thoughtfully crafted menu, serving everything from pan-seared fish to delightful brunch favorites.
"WHEN: Tuesday-Saturday, 5-6pm THE DEAL: $10 off any bottle of wine, $10 signature cocktails, $8 classic cocktails, $2 off any glass of wine, $5 draft beers Is there anything more “Nashville” than a restaurant built in a former church fellowship hall? That’s Hathorne, which has a gorgeous open space with exposed ceilings, plenty of natural light, and a bar that spans the length of the room. There’s also an incredible outdoor patio and courtyard space behind a brick wall of privacy. There’s no bad night to go for Happy Hour, but the best nights are on Wednesdays and Thursdays when Patron and Uncle Nearest sponsor their cocktails. That means great margarita-adjacent drinks (garnished with edible flowers grown on-site) and fun small-batch whiskey cocktails." - adam sloan

"Sylvan Park’s Hathorne takes cues from its building’s previous incarnation as the former fellowship hall of a historic church — the restaurant, which also has a large heated patio, is warm, unpretentious, and encourages conversation among its congregants. Chef-owner John Stephenson takes great care with the New American fare here, where vegetarian dishes like golden beets in a tahini-onion puree and sweet potato agnolotti hold their own against or even outshine their meat-filled counterparts. Similarly, beverage director Hayley Teague’s thoughtful mocktail menu keeps things interesting." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
"A former fellowship hall, Hathorne has integrated touches of its previous life into the restaurant, including pews that serve as seating and a repurposed church rail divider. The fellowship continues through food, serving elevated dishes like seared cobia with grits, a dressed-up chicken schnitzel, and honeynut squash-stuffed agnolotti. And when it comes to elevated non-alcoholic cocktail programs, Hathorne is one of the city’s pioneers." - Kellie Walton
"A casual vibe meets fine dining at this former fellowship hall-turned-neighborhood restaurant that has racked up several “best restaurant” accolades over the years. Share a few small plates over dinner like a seasonal salad and crispy frites, or opt for weekend brunch (the brunch burger is sizeable and perfectly juicy) served on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m." - Kellie Walton
