13 Best Places to Eat Meatballs in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"While City House’s meatball-only pie stands alone, Nashville has some solid options when meatballs are used in tandem with other ingredients. Five Points Pizza’s T-REX is a meat-lover’s dream (pepperoni, sausage, sliced meatballs, spicy capicola), while Hermitage’s Gondala House Pizzeria takes a supreme approach with their House Special: pepperoni, onions, green peppers, meatballs, sausage and mushrooms. The best use of meatballs as a supporting actor, though, is at downtown’s Red Phone Booth. The chef came from Pastaria, so the pizza dough is exceptional, and he loads up the Carne Pie with every meat you can imagine: bacon jam, salami, spicy-sweet sausage and, of course, meatballs. All that is layered with zippy San Marzano sauce and bubbly Fior de Latte mozzarella (made with cow’s milk, not buffalo). It’s a pie so good it’s worth braving the cigar smoke to get it." - Ashley Brantley

Love this place. Once you get the number and are able to get in after calling it in the phone booth you are let in. It is a very nice place very chill and you can enjoy a cocktail, some food and a cigar. We ended up getting a Floridora and a Smoked Old Fashioned. Both were so good. Then we enjoyed one of their pizzas which honestly was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. We got the Quattro Formaggio which was just so good. I love this place and will be back again.

This was my 1st speakeasy and it was great! Our guys enjoyed cigars and drinks while us girls enjoyed delicious cocktails. We loved how you had to have the secret number to dial to gain entry. Then we all got to walk through the phone booth!! Neat experience while we were in Nashville.

This place was such a cool vibe outside of the Nashville hustle. Love the phone booth concept, but had to search high and low for the code. But that was part of the fun. Josh and our other bartender was amazingly welcoming and fun to hang out with. Not to mention killer old fashioned he made and the cigar selections. Warning…Divorce Coach Melissa will be back soon! :) Thanks boys!

This place is well known, but the catch is, you have to find out what the phone number is to get in. Enter into the Red Phone Booth ☎️ and use the rotary phone with the correct number and then a secret door opens. Pretty cool! We found the phone number on Reddit, but you can ask locals or surrounding hotels for the number and they will know. It is a cigar lounge/1920’s inspired eatery. We went early enough to avoid the 💨. For a cigar bar, you don’t notice the smell of any smoke for those who don’t want to walk out of the place smelling like you just hung out with Don Draper. (Although if he was there I’d have made an exception 😅) We got some delicious drinks and a veggie hummus platter 🥕 🥒 For cocktails, I got the Aviation which is a gin based drink with just the right amount of tart and sweet 🍸, my hubby got the Paper Plane which is a bourbon based drink. We both really enjoyed the drinks and vibe. We would have ordered another round, but we had places to go and see! Definitely a nice first stop of the night if you are in Nashville, and off the strip 🙂

We love coming to the red phone booth! Our membership gives us access to make reservations and access to special events. Vanessa and Amanda are the best! They ensure we always have a great experience. The food is great and the cocktails exceptional!

Great bar and cigar lounge. One of the only places you can smoke inside. Josh the bartender is fantastic. Atmosphere is great, drinks are one of a kind, and the cigar selection is fantastic. It’s a great place to meet with business clients in a more casual environment, or friends to have a good night out. Great escape from the noise and chaos on Broadway around the corner.

This was so fun! It was basically the only thing on my must do list for Nashville. Thank goodness we caught the manager, Brian, or else we might not have gotten in as all the codes I had were wrong. He was incredibly nice and welcoming and treated us to top notch service. Stepping in is like a trip back in time. The food was good and drinks were strong. It is a cigar bar as well so just be aware there’s some smoke in the air.

Wow! This is the best speakeasy in Nashville! The atmosphere was cozy, inviting, and cool. Josh made our drinks. One of the drinks he made is was a Ramos Fizz. It was absolute perfection. Josh was one of the best barkeepers we have ever met.

Tucked away behind a red old school telephone booth, this hidden gem has a very cool vibe. The craft cocktails are expertly mixed, even though the bartenders are a little hit and miss on their level of friendliness. Dim lighting, very nice cigar humidor with quality cigars and lots of sitting areas. The manager, AJ, is very personable. Even though it has an exclusive feel, he does not come across as hoity-toity. My buddy did not have a collared shirt on, and he offered him a jacket. Thankfully we were staying across the street, so it was an easy change for him, but the fact that was offered by him - class act.

Cool factor from how hotel front desk handled my ask to go to the red phone booth to how you access speak Easy. 5. Ambience inside 5. Bar was nice but ended with a couple Yahoos next to me trying to get hugs off the waitress and ruined sitting at bar for me. 3 stars. Sitting areas are mostly couches for groups so is someone was trying to chill with a date or solo it could be better designed and be more intimate with small chairs seatings. The couches were NOT Comfortable. Was like sitting in an airplane seat were the back goes straight up. Come on, you need to be able to mold and fold into a Comfy leather couch. Not stiff back 3 stars Waitress and staff 5 stars Cigars humidor. 5. Must try. Cool place. Kudos to the owner for providing such a neat venue.

Quite a nice place for cocktails and cigars. We loved the ambience, being a first timer to a speakeasy - enjoyed the experience. Nice and quick service with an extensive cocktails menu and a very limited food menu. Overall, a good Saturday night. Had a great time!

What a cool place! You have to use the rotary phone in the English style phone booth in front gain access if you're not a paying member. You can get the number from the hotel you're staying at, they will give you a business card. We went last week and had a nice time. It's an old school speakeasy that offers classic and contemporary cocktails along with wine and craft beers. The bourbon and whiskey selections are top notch. One turn off for my wife, guests can smoke cigars inside. But, it wasn't bad and the ventilation system kept the smoke to a minimum. I quit cigars years ago but I still enjoy the odor of them. Anyway, we had some drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere here very much. Paying members get full access whenever they want, a liquor locker and I think they can store cigars in the humidor. Guest access is limited to having the business card and you may get turned away if it's crowded inside, so I'm told. Definitely check this place out. Also, be mindful there is a dress code. Oh there was a glitch with the phone last week and we used the cell phone to call. The gentleman who answered and opened the door said that there is only ONE person who can fix the phone and they have him booked for later in the year. I actually miss the days of the rotary phones.

First speakeasy we have tried to go to that does not take reservations. We had the code but upon arrival, there was a significant line. So much for the secrecy of a speakeasy.

Wow! We visited with a member who had reservations. They knew her by name and the experience from the minute we walked in was top notch. The ambiance is incredible - low couches, fire places, cigar smoke. It wasn't overly smoky - they have a great ventilation system. We had a party of four - ordered charcuterie, drinks, cigars, and dessert. If You don't like the drinks, they will remake until you're happy. Ask your hotel concierge for the phone number to get in - it's well worth it.

What a hidden gem! It's fun getting in. The ambiance is spot on. Really makes you feel like you went back in time. The drinks are phenomenal. And the bar tender was so quick, making the drinks from scratch and they were all flavorful. This is a cigar bar so be aware there will be people smoking indoors.

Went to Red Phone Booth to meet up with friends, who are members. Since they were already there, we didn't have to deal with entering a code at the phone booth, and they just met us at the door. Always love the concept of a speakeasy and the phone booth is cute. I'm not a smoker and am normally not a fan of being inside cigar bars because the smoke is usually so thick, but I surprisingly did not have that experience at RPB. They seem to have a pretty good ventilation system that sucks most of the smoke out of the air. It's pretty spacious inside, and they have comfy booths as well as high top tables. We ordered drinks and enjoyed the tunes that were playing. I ordered a Paloma, which was average, then switched to a Flirtini, which I enjoyed much better. They have a pretty extensive selection of cigars. My friend got the cherry bomb and it smelled yummy! The vibe is super laid back and relaxed. Service wasn't super fast, but we got what we needed in a fairly timely fashion. I still came home smelling like smoke, but it was an overall pleasant experience. I'd definitely go back if that's the move for the night.

Giving this place 4 stars because my Clover Club was the best I've ever had. However, the ambience/attitude was not great. We received the code from our hotel. When we arrived, there was something broken about the phone booth (there was a sign saying it was broken) so it was extra confusing to figure out how to get in. Meanwhile people who were leaving the bar while we were waiting outside were extra unkind. Once we got in, the host said something like "let me see if we have room for you", but meanwhile the place was 80% empty. Once we were seated, things improved. The service and drinks were quite good. However, an older couple was making out on the couches near us, and it was clear that the woman was beyond drunk, nearly falling asleep on the man. Not quite the "high end" experience I expected. Overall, come here if you want a great cocktail or cigar, but set your expectations about the hassle to get in and the overall vibe inside.

Prohibition style speakeasy serving classic cocktails ONLY but with a great attention to detail and highest quality ingredients. They are also a cigar bar. To get inside, you walk through the red phone booth. Once Inside they have bar seating and low tables surrounded by leather couches. Collared shirts are required and we came unprepared but they had sport coats in the closet just for this . . . really keeping with the theme. If you're looking for creative seasonal craft cocktails or dislike the smell of tobacco, this place is not for you. If you want a chill lounge with high quality classic cocktails and the open to smoke a cigar, look no further.

This almost wasn't a review because we were a little confused on how to enter. You're supposed to use the phone booth near the front door but I clearly didn't have the right number. Luckily, a guy was opening the door and let us in. It was late afternoon so it wasn't packed. We grabbed a seat with a time limit since we didn't have a reservation. The place is outfitted nicely with leather sofas and chairs. It has an extensive cigar selection and the space is much larger than I anticipated. The only, and biggest, concern was the ventilation. I've been to my share of cigar bars and this one was not shy with the smoke. We ended up grabbing one drink and heading to the next place. Had it not been for the heavy odor, we would've stayed longer. Still cute with good drinks.

First off you need to get the code from someone at your hotel. Most of them have the code. You also need to be dressed up. No shorts for men, no jeans. Preferably a collared shirt for men and fancier for women. Cool speakeasy, that you find the red phone booth dial the code and they let you in. It is a cigar bar but it wasn't too smokey when we were there. We went pretty late and they were closing, so we just got one drink. The waitress was nice and they have a large whiskey/bourbon list. The vibe is cool in there. I didn't try any food. Worth a visit in Nashville for a different experience than Broadway.

Talk about a cocktail lounge with the the biggest cigar choices. JK it's definitely a cigar bar but the drinks are phenomenal! They will make you a new drink if you don't like what your first order and one of their house rules is to try something new and it's the best idea when sipping a drink. I would say the service is great but if it's a busy Friday/Saturday it can be a little slow. Note that this is a speakeasy vibe and only those who have the code to get in are allowed. there is a dress code - but note you might have to wash/dry clean after the visit.

Now this is my kinda place! Off the beaten path, look for the red phone booth, great drinks (try the horses neck). A nice selection of cigars to choose from and the food was good to. We had a Classic Margherita pizza. Service was great. I need a place like this in my hometown.

Get your code from your concierge and enjoy the experience. You dial the number on a rotary phone to gain entrance. After a few attempts The door was opened. Your transported to 1920. A few facts about the speakeasy before your seated. The space is dark, Smokey and beautifully colored cocktails are everywhere. The bar has spirts that I've never seen before. ( very prohibition) There's a walk in humidor with three walls of cigars. The cocktail menu has a bio of each cocktail. AJ and staff are very attentive. *dress code

Service was top-notch. Don't have the access phone number? Call the local hotels nearby for the phone number. The crafted drinks were on the sweeter side. The ambience was very intimate. They do smoke cigars, so if you don't like to smoke, I wouldn't recommend you coming here. It was a unique experience, and the bartenders are amazing! Thanks.

Good drinks, fun venue. I wouldn't say they're really pulling off the speakeasy vibe, but the big draw for me was getting away from busy, loud venues for a just a little while, and Red Phone Booth did that nicely. The inside is too open and large to be convincing as a speak-easy, and was a bit loud, but it's nice. Dimly lit, not overly smokey considering people are allowed to smoke cigars inside, and a lot of leather and mahogany. Regardless, I'd wear clothes/jackets you aren't likely to want again before doing laundry. We couldn't help but wonder if the loud music from the adjacent business/small convenience store was pre-arranged to muffle the sound of this place from the outside and keep it feeling a little more speakeasy as you arrive. It seemed loud enough inside that you might hear from outside otherwise, which would not be ideal for a speakeasy theme.

We were given the information on how to enter the red phone booth from our hotel concierge so we decided to make it a group outing with some friends of ours who were also in town with us this previous weekend. When we got there the ambiance was very nice. We walked through the phone booth and were greeted by a well dressed gentleman who explained to us about the speakeasy and how things worked. He was so accommodating with our party. That's where things went downhill though, our server Serena was, well there's no other way to explain it, rude with us. She acted like every question we had was stupid. With such a large menu, we were only looking for some guidance. If you go here, I feel like service can be a big factor as to if you have a good time. I hope yours is better than ours.

You almost forget you're in the heart of broadway! You are truly transported the minute you step in. The whole concept is well executed and the place has a great atmosphere. Unlike the majority of other places on broadway, this has a more elevated feel and you will not find your usual college kids slinging back shots. The bartenders (truly mixologists because what they do is an art) are phenomenal. The menu is expansive, but when I don't quite know what I want they are more than willing to offer suggestions or create something for you based on what you are feeling. For example, I told them I was craving something strong but creamy and their creation (picture attached) did not disappoint. The music adds to the vibe and is not blaring so you can still enjoy conversation with your friends. Highly recommend.

This was a really cool spot I finally got to go in! The only downside is that it is a cigar bar, so if you aren't into that or smelling like smoke, I would suggest not coming here. The drinks were yummy but pricey, but it's about the experience. Service was just okay even though the place was pretty empty when we came. There is a dress code so be sure to check that online before you try to go here.

First, the vibe of the whole whole concept is really fun! We got the code from our hotel and then went to the phone booth to dial. We we able to use our old school rotary dialing skills to help some younger folks get in the door which was pretty hilarious. Once inside, the space is actually pretty large. It has these beautiful lighted ceiling tiles, big leathery couches, and a room with a huge selection of cigars. We're not cigar smokers - if you don't love the air being really smoky I'd recommend visiting early in the evening. As far as the food goes, we cannot recommend the spicy Sicilian pizza enough! It was recommended by our server and it really hits the spot. The quatro formmagio was good, the tiramisu was more of a pudding, and we would skip the cannolis. The food comes super fast, but the menu is limited to pizza, a couple of appetizers, and the two desserts. As far as drinks go, they have a huge menu of prohibition era cocktails! However, most of the descriptions go more into historical details than the actual ingredients, so it's critical to have the bartender or the server assist you in finding the right cocktail. This is where they lost a couple stars. Our server was lovely, but they didn't know the menu at all and they also didn't know different types of alcohol (thought Tito's was tequila). The cocktail quality was also mixed. Two of us ordered the Clover Club. The first one was incredible (sweet and creamy), but the second one was a completely different color and taste (pictured). Our server told us that was because there was a different base alcohol which is pretty confusing. I do recommend a visit while you're in town, but ask to sit up near the bartender so you can get the best options for drinks!

Can't recommend this place enough! You enter through a phone booth on the sidewalk, and if you enter the correct code, they will come open the door and escort you to your seat. They do have a dress code which they will enforce, which I was super impressed by. For drinks, I had the Ramos Fizz, Bramble, and Fancy Tequila Cocktail which were all amazing. For food, we had the sliders which were very good as well. Our waiter was very attentive and never let our drinks sit empty. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations! Even though they offer cigars here as well, the smell is not overpowering and they have an amazing air filtration system that keeps the smoke and odor to a minimum. Definitely one of the coolest bars I've ever been to. We'll definitely go back if we're ever in Nashville again or if we're ever near one of their other locations!

Such a cool bar! You have to get the code in order to get in. Once you call, they will let you in to this awesome experience! We sat by the bar - the bartender was great and made amazing drinks! I have been wanting to try a Clover Club and since not every bar has it, decided to give it a shot. They did not disappoint!! My friend wasn't sure what she wanted the bartender made her a dealer's choice - honey gin and tonic! We absolutely loved our experience and recommend to anyone in Nashville!!

So we thought this was such a cool idea at first! Find out the password of a local speakeasy and go there for drinks before dinner. We found out the password from our concierge at our hotel, and we are on our way. When we arrived at the red phone booth, there were two other people waiting. They quickly went in and as soon as we put in our password we were in also. I've been to a few speakeasies and usually they offer custom drinks, and a dark, quiet, subdued atmosphere. We were seated at a table, and immediately noticed that it was very bright in the bar. They had a cocktail menu, but really nothing special. We ordered drinks. But quiet atmosphere--no. the music was so loud, we could not even hear each other talk. We asked a server if it could be turned down they told us no. Overall, rather disappointing for a speakeasy type bar.

Was lucky enough to receive the code for a visit to the red phone booth! You enter the red phone booth, dial the old dial phone with the code and someone answers to let you in. The wall holding the telephone is the entrance into red phone booth. Once we entered we had a warm welcoming and were guided to our seats. From there we ordered cocktails and were walked to the humidor to pick out any cigars we would like to enjoy with our drinks. The humidor was a very good size. Cigars ranged from $10-$25 from what I saw. After selecting cigars we ran back to the table for a cut and a light. By now our first round of drinks had arrived! We were also hungry so we ordered 2 pizzas. The pizzas came out pretty fast. Great size and a good price ($14-16). If your ever are invited to go to this speakeasy definitely go! Amazing time and awesome service all around.

WOW. came into this place - total traditional speakeasy so I didn't know really what to expect, but WOW. The 4 cheese pizza was PHENOMENAL. I don't even have a photo of it because we swallowed it whole!!!! Our entire party shared the same sentiment - one of the best pizzas we have EVER had. Then ordered the spicy Sicilian which AGAIN, did not disappoint. The drinks are a 12/10 as well. I can't stress enough how much of a hidden gem this place is. It has that lux exclusive feel while also keeping that traditional speakeasy persona. Not to mention, drinks and food were both OUTSTANDING. Please try "A Last Call" with Mezcal!! I hope to come back every time I'm in town. Thank you to the servers for your attention and thank you to the talented chefs, as well as the knowledgeable mixologists! Chris is amazing! Honored to have met him.

The Red Phone Booth speakeasy is awesome! First, just to get into the Red Phone Booth is Bitchin! When you walk in from the street, you are greeted with class and sophistication. Oversize leather sofas, fireplace, and incredible bar! Our waitress was amazing! She had great knowledge of the cocktails, food, and cigars. Provided us awesome attention and making sure we were satisfied with everything we had ordered! I would more than recommend this club- I would say a visit to Nashville without visiting the Red Phone Booth would be a big mistake! I look forward to returning very soon

This was truly a unique experience. When I lived in Kansas City many years back, there were a number of places that "felt" like this and had that same sort, of "secret" feel to them. Take a break from the energetic frenzy of Broadway, make a reservation at the Red Phone Booth, and experience something unique and different. We grabbed the number from the concierge at our hotel and made our way here early one night before heading out to the 'scene' of Broadway. It was a perfect way to start the evening. The food was excellent, just like all the reviews told us they would be and we both enjoyed our drinks. I'm not a huge fan of cigars, so we went early before it got "too stinky" for my liking and I'm glad we did. Initially when we walked in, we were seated at a small table by the door because we did not have a reservation. It was SUPER dark and the server saw us "struggling" to read the drink menu. He kindly moved us to the back area which had much better lighting and more cozy seating. So, my first important tip, MAKE A RESERVATION and request seating in a better lit area or in a cozy booth. Order a pizza. They are fantastic. We also had the meatball sliders with it - outstanding. I saw a few reviews where they felt like it was pricey. Drinking at the bars on Broadway are pricey ($7 for a Bud Light). Everything in Nashville is pricey. I honestly felt like the quality of the drink far outweighed the cost and it wasn't that pricey at all - I think $13 for a cocktail. I'd go back for sure.

We had a "code" from our hotel. I cannot believe otherwise than we were discriminated by, as we were denied admission at the entrance (phone booth). We had a "code" for admission, dressed accordingly, arrived at a timely time, and were told to return in 5 hours. That's not reasonable. For others, your hotel concierge can assist with "code" admission. There is a standard at minimum in dress code.

Really cool atmosphere and vibe. Like stepping back in time and slowing down. The cigar I enjoyed was pleasant and the drinks were fire! The food fell flat for us. Definitely a drink and smoke place for our future visit. The pizza was average for the style and the charcuterie board was about the same. It was definitely one to experience.

This is a really cool concept! But - Warning - They smoke cigars in here! So, while staying at a large hotel nearby, I was looking for an interesting cocktail bar and found this place online, but everything we read about it suggested you needed to be "referred" to gain entry, typically via a phone number you'd dial from the phone booth out front. We asked our hotel front desk and they gave me the card for this place with the number on it. We walked there and upon arriving there was a person out front with a tablet, we gave him the referring info from the card and he went in to check on availability. He then came back out through the back wall of the phone booth, which is a secret door and we went in that way - really neat! We first sat in the lounge area behind the bar and then noticed the guy next to us was smoking a cigar, that's when I noticed this was not only a speakeasy, but a cigar lounge with a large walk-in humidor. I asked to be moved to an area where less people were sitting/smoking, as we really don't like cigars at all, they promptly accommodated us. I will say that the staff there was great! Also, their smoke eater system is phenomenal!! I've never been in a place where people were smoking, a LOT, only to leave and not have any smell of smoke in my nostrils or in my clothing! We wanted a small bite, since we had dinner plans, but when our server told us they had a custom-made pizza oven from Italy and they made amazing pizza, we opted for their DOP. It was OUTSTANDING! Crust was amazing and the sauce was perfection!! The cocktails we got were AMAZING as well. Prices are very fair here too! They have really comfy leather couches throughout and nice little niches to sit in. I'd definitely suggest stopping in, but like I said, only if you can somewhat tolerate cigar smoke. We completely hate it, but had no problem with the way they manage it in here and the food, cocktails and service, made us not worry about it.

Very cool hidden speakeasy! We got the dialed phone number correctly but did have to wait a minute or two before anyone showed up to let us in - thankfully they did though! There is a standard dress code. They offer a TON of cocktails as well as cigars. It does smell a bit like cigar smoke throughout so this might not be for you if you're sensitive to that. The lounges are cozy and they do have limited waitstaff but they are up front about this being a more leisurely experience. We liked the contrast a lot to the bustling bars of Broadway.

An extraordinary experience! My compliments to manager AJ, bartender Vanessa and team for their excellent service. AJ helped me choose a great mid-level cigar, and provided the education of toasting prior to lighting. Learn something new every day! I can only speak of the pizza in the food catagory, and it was a worthy pie and great crust. Advice. Arrive in proper attire and keep it classy! Avoid being the backward cap wearing idiot from Broadway expecting access. Free entertainment to see a group denied for this reason.

My husband and I had dinner at The Standard across the street and were recommended this place. We were given a phone number to call. There was no line. I got in the booth, dialed the number from my cell phone (since their phone system was broken)....no dial tone. Meanwhile, a woman got out of a car and miraculously - a door opened for her. After several moments, a man came out and I tried to come in since the door was open. A man waved his hand (while talking to a group of women at a table) and in a loud dismissive way yelled "don't sneak into my establishment." I closed the door and we left. First of all, when there isn't a line, come out and tell your customers that you are full, that would have been a cordial and satisfactory response. We are two well dressed people who do not need to be treated like s*it by a bouncer who is trying to make an impression at a group of women. We had a great time in Nashville, but this was a huge let down on our last night. We understand this is a private establishment, but you don't need to treat people like sh*it and only cater to women who are coming in alone

What can I say ? Vibey Vanessa is the bomb . How often would you go to a speakeasy in Nashville , (of all places ) and bring the energy that only a bomb ass Filipina , African American bartender would bring . Thank you for showing us such a good time and welcoming us in to this warm and inviting speakeasy . We had such a lovely time . We can't recommend this place enough . Such a fun night ! The drinks are amazing and made with love . The vibe is unforgettable . Truly a night to remember .

Pros: Good drinks, ambiance Cons: For being a cigar bar, poor ventilation Wear clothes your prepared to separate with. Don't shower before you come, don't wash your hair..Be prepared to leave smelling like a cigar

Great speakeasy. I was able to get the code from a local hotel and I loved the experience of dialing the number to get in. The seats were comfortable and the drinks were good. The menu had a great selection of cocktails and they were organized by the type of alcohol in it. However, the inside was very smoky so probably not the best place if you don't like the smell.

We got here late but it was still a number of ppl there and enough seating. It took a hot second to get seated and we went through about three people and a wait before we were asked our order. Staff did not pass the vibe check. We only ordered one round then we left. But the place itself is a cool spot. Very laidback, loved the decor

I was taken there a month ago and I still cannot believe the experience that I had the food is great. The people are so kind. Grateful I knew someone.

First, we got the phone number from our hotel. Arrived at the place via scooters, and went directly to the phone booth. After calling the number about 3/4 times the door was finally opened by a manager. We had to wait about 10 minutes before we were allowed in. Upon entry the place looks amazing, very clean and rustic looking setup. I would have given 5 stars if the service was faster but it took a while to get waited on. We ordered pizza and it was amazing. The drinks were great, service was great but slow, i believe there was only one server that night. I would go back an recommend this place.

Such a fun and interesting concept! I love the secrecy and feeling of exclusivity to get in there and upon entering you are met with dim lights, cigar smell lingering in the air and soft chatter. They have a dress code and men must wear a jacket or the can provide you with one. I love that! The drinks are nice and they have a nice wine list. The cigars are priced fairly or you can bring your own. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. On my next trip to Nashville, I will definitely stop by again'

My friends and I tried Red Phone Booth again and had a wonderful experience the second time around. We tried a variety of food items, cigars and drinks. I really enjoyed the Margherita pizza this time. It was cooked well and wasn't too greasy. As for the drinks, they were all pretty good. Red Phone Booth has a wide variety of cocktails to try - my favorite was the Brown Derby. They have a really nice policy that if you don't like your drink, they will swap it out for something else. There were a few drinks that just weren't for us, and they were nice enough to get us something else instead. What really made our night was the service- both Bobby and Amanda were very accommodating. Amanda was sweet, attentive and overall an awesome host! I would definitely consider going here again and even bringing friends that visit from out of town.

Kinda secret entrance. You need the code (we didn't know that! And a random girl in a car told us "it's in the booth!" Haha, probably she was here before). A guy in suit opened the door & said you should be either a member or have a friend who is a member (for code) or get the code from your hotel. I like the dim light/speak easy vibe, and the original (but not expensive) paintings. I don't smoke cigar so when I order one just to try the waitress gave us tips and how to cut a cigar, etc. they have good drink menus and my whiskey was great. It's all about character, right?!
