Nashville Rooftop Restaurants and Bars That Will Lift Your Spirits

"Perched on the rooftop of the W Hotel in the Gulch, Proof is an indoor-outdoor bar that offers 270-degree views of the city. Inside is an upscale, clubby scene with tufted leather banquettes and seats, art installations, and a long-stretch bar serving cocktails like the Proof Water (cucumber-infused tequila, jalapeño, and lime and bites to go along with it. But you can also opt to take your food and drink outdoors and soak up the frenetic city scene." - Kellie Walton, Eater Staff, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

Where to Find Holiday Pop-Ups in and Around Nashville

"The W Nashville has transformed its rooftop bar patio into a 1970s winter village featuring snowy pine trees, lamp posts, and disco balls for its Apres Ski pop-up. The focal point of the experience is two translucent cabins filled with funky couches, stovepipe electric fireplaces, and alpine retro décor. Each cabin can accommodate up to eight people and has clear paneling to keep guests warm while enjoying cocktails and complimentary cheese fondue. The pop-up runs through February 2023, but you’ll need to make a reservation for the two-hour experience. Cabins seat up to eight people." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

Cannot express how happy my wife and I are about coming here for our first Nashville experience! Our waitress Monica was very friendly and prompt when ordering or bringing out drinks and food, can’t say enough good things about her. The food and drinks are definitely on par with the location and what you would expect. Yes, it’s better than you are imagining right now. The ambiance is very clean, minimalist and modern. The views are spectacular and it’s nice they have a little lit spot for photos. Just a great location! HIGHLY recommend this place for a night out. Parking is across the street and very affordable as well. Thank you Monica for your hospitality.

Swanky roof top bar with phenomenal views of the city. The cocktails and service are good. I enjoyed the ambience and there's also a DJ.

Went to proof to celebrate one of my friends birthday and it was so much fun! The views and vibes with the live dj and ambience was perfect! It was super busy but Luis took care of us, made us laugh & feel welcome! The best part was that our drinks were out fast for how busy it was! Definitely recommend for a night out!

Atmosphere and view are amazing. Drinks are good. The service is just ok. Felt somewhat pretentious and I went to see a favorite performer and the bar didn’t care about the performer. There was some sort of bridal party there or something and they killed the vibe. I want to go again when there isn’t a performer to see if it’s better.

Great rooftop views, tasty cocktails, friendly staff. Drinks were a little pricey but the ambiance is better than Broadway.

Always a great time at this place! I'm a local and have brought friends from out of town to Proof. Shout out to Louis for always providing great service and making stellar cocktails. I love this place, it's a vibe!

Went thinking they still had a happy hour. Spoiler they don’t. Prices were okay even without. Ambiance was pretty good and the view is amazing. Ordered the tots and they tasted like they were frozen and microwaved. Just overall a very 3-star experience!

Came here for GNO and to check out Proof's HH. The rooftop is really nice with a good view. We had the best bartender. He was really nice and had the best personality, I wish I remembered his name. I ordered a gimlet which was delicious. I read mixed reviews on the food, but our food was really good. I ordered the wings , not spicy but very flavorful, and I ordered the truffle fries. My friend wanted a dessert, they didn't have dessert, but when the restaurant downstairs opened, he allowed her to order from that menu which was really nice of him. I will definitely be back! Parking: park in parking lot across from hotel, a lot more inexpensive than valet. I was told they don't validate at Proof.

This is a bar on the roof of W Hotel with outstanding views. We mainly ordered drinks and a couple of appetizers and took in the evening sky as the sunset. It was very beautiful and the drinks and food, service and ambiance were all excellent. Recommend!

We were pleasantly surprised. Food was really good! Martinis were excellent. It's a bit loud and seats are not comfortable, so dinged it a star

Rooftop bar hopping is always fun with family and friends. The proof is located inside the W Nashville Hotel on the 13th floor. We were immediately carded exiting the elevator, so 21 and up. The ambiance was quiet and comfortable--lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered drinks, but unfortunately, they were not good. I love the decor and wall art. We had a lovely time, and the weather was perfect for a Saturday summer night. No DJ, but did I mention the gorgeous view?

Came here on a Monday night. The only saving grace for this place is that the food is actually good. The drinks are terrible. Watered down, very sugary. Service is absolutely awful. It took forever for someone to come take our orders, food got mixed up, server never came to check on us, we had no napkins or silverware, and it even took them forever to bring us the check. They were not even busy. The people next to us got so frustrated they cancelled their order and left. Absolutely awful experience.

Five stars for the drinks; three for the atmosphere. It was dark The drinks were great. Love that they use big ice, bartender was super nice. I'm not sure why it was so dark. Hard to read the menus dark. I get the idea of candle light as creating ambiance but might be a little too much. Nicer than most hotel bars with a lot of places to sit.

Bailie was absolutely awful. Overcharged and schemed her way to get a better tip, which backfired after her rudeness and bitter tone towards us when our friends card didn't go through (yes she had enough money). We also had a $15 hold on our card to set up the tab that Bailie demanded we gave a card at the beginning of her service. She never came back to us after dropping off our drinks btw. We had to go find her at a pos station to ask for the tabs. So yah service was garbage. Keep in mind bailie uncharged the espresso martini without asking which vodka was wanted. So after paying $24 for just a half filled espresso martini, my friend decided she was done drinking which I couldn't blame her. Disgusting and scammy. Which is sad because we've loved this place until bailie ruined it for us.

Absolutely loved it! We went here for my daughter's birthday, it was a great stop on our night out! The oysters were delicious, wish there had been more, the girls said the wings were delicious along with the cocktail! The staff were attentive to our needs and always checking to see if we needed anything! The atmosphere was amazing, walking out on the patio and seeing the city lights, plenty of seating and a couple igloo's. They had heaters out there to keep you warm however the wind was blowing so we chose to sit inside! Would definitely go back here!

Nothing special about the drinks here. Location and view is cool and all but I'd be just as content grabbing a drink just about anywhere else. Staff can't seem to be on the same page about anything and the bartender with the bowl cut in particular is a diva who thinks his sh*t doesn't stink. Won't be returning. If you want mediocrity and lousy service this is the spot for you.

Proof is a beautiful space at the top of the W hotel. We came on a Saturday evening around 5 and luckily didn't have to wait! We were at a table and we had a server. Unfortunately it took a while to get our drinks. I got a mock tail because I'm doing dry january and sadly it wasn't that great. My friends mostly enjoyed their drinks! The valet parking is super expensive but I parked in a lot nearby that was about $11 for 4 hours. Also the signs for the bathrooms are really hard to read lol

I was so excited to try out this new place. The view are astonishing, and the decor is modern. But. The drinks taste at best, acceptable. There are so many bars in Nashville with good bartenders, that these watered out sugary drinks has no value at all. Please go to L.A. Jackson at Thompson Hotel instead. Better drinks and better vibes.

Chandler was great! He made the experience! All of the food and drinks were very good. It is pricey, but we were prepared ahead of time. Go. Ask for Chandler to be your server. You will not be disappointed.

One of the best views of Nashville, quality service, good vibes and no reservations needed. Away from the hustle and bustle of Broadway, it's definitely a Gulch staple.

Went to Proof for a late evening cocktail with it being one of my gf and I favorite roof top spots. We had the bartender named Scott P. When my girlfriend respectfully asked if he could make a gin fizz cocktail. His response, "I'm not making a 15 minute cocktail tonight" The bar was basically empty so it was a shocking response. We are both in the industry and realize that gin fizz doesn't need to take 15 minutes but understood and said oh you don't need to shake it that long and he goes, "ummm yes I do" with a ton of attitude and negative energy. You would think a hip roof top bar in Nashville would be able to make a gin fizz or something along those lines. The attitude and ego of this bartender will be a reason we never will order a cocktail from him again, looks like he only works lame nights like Mondays anyways! Go figure!
