Old Glory

"Old Glory is a bar in Nashville co-owned by Dan Binkiewicz, known for its distinctive drinks and lively ambiance." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Nothing screams “speakeasy” more than sipping drinks in an old boiler room. Welcome to Old Glory, which requires you to go through a gate, down an alley, up a few stairs, and through an inconspicuous door marked No. 103. Once inside, the dark and moody space feels like drinking in a cavern—that is, if there are any sexy caverns out there with live jazz on Mondays. Try a michelada with tonkatsu sauce or a cocktail using a bright and fruity combo of rum liqueur from Scandinavia, herby Patagonia spirit, and blueberry that goes down way too easily. There’s also a yogurt-washed vodka number named after our patron saint Dolly with cucumber and lime that’s the closest thing we’ve found to an alcoholic salad." - ann walczak

"Old Glory is one of the most beautiful and unusual bars in Nashville. The actual space is a historic building that was formerly one of Nashville’s biggest industrial steaming facilities, and they’ve kept the imposing boiler perched in the corner and a giant coal hopper suspended overhead. It’s certainly not a place where linens are cleaned anymore: rather, it’s now a moody candlelit bar that functions as a low-key date spot during the week and a high-key dance floor on weekends. And they do drinks as well as they do atmosphere. Their spirit-forward cocktails are the best, and it’s always a good idea to order anything with mezcal or rye—the End of Story, for example, is a bold, clean combination of mezcal, amaro, chartreuse, and celery bitters. Old Glory also hosts a lively series of monthly parties that feature drag performances, circus acts, jazz nights, and more." - bailey freeman, ann walczak

"In the style of speakeasies, this Edgehill spot — located in the former boiler room for White Way Cleaners — is a bit tricky to find. Here’s a hint: keep an eye out for a golden triangle designating an unmarked door. Once inside, expect killer drinks — like the Nines made with vodka, lavender, jasmine, honey, suze, lemon, and half and half milk syrup — at the industrial chic bar." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
