Woodsy-chic bar with innovative cocktails & brisket nachos
"With swings hanging from the ceiling and plants (and fake plants) “growing” from the rafters, Walden looks like a patio or a garden, but it's a neighborhood bar through and through. There are paintings of flowers on the walls, cozy booths, and a large bar with tons of seating. The cocktails are made with spirits that will look familiar to cocktail nerds: Hangar 1 Vodka, Monkey Shoulder Scotch, Bahnez Mezcal. Everything is purposeful and carefully considered, but not at all pretentious." - Margaret Littman

"The East Nashville bar’s brisket nachos are traditional tortilla chips loaded up with brisket, house bbq sauce, white cheddar and queso, plus pickled red onion, jalapeños, green onions, and cilantro." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"Executive chef Rahaf Amer will spearhead the culinary offerings at East Hill Row’s casual neighborhood bar Walden, which opened in March. Amer arrives from Salt & Vine, which closed abruptly earlier this month. She had been their executive chef since January, when she was promoted from sous chef. Amer, the daughter of two Syrian immigrants, recently curated a five-course meal at Nashville’s Food From Inside the Travel Ban event. Walden will soon feature an expanded menu from Amer to include a broader variety of small plates. The limited current menu offers hummus, salad, tacos, sandwiches, and pizzas. The bar also serves a small brunch selection from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"Casual neighborhood bar Walden will have its official public debut this Thursday, March 8. The 2,000-square-foot bar features a variety of seating, including banquettes, swing benches, and a pet-friendly patio with lounge seating. The 36 taps will offer a rotating selection of beer, wine, and cocktails on draft, with a menu of shared plates. Look for late night and brunch menus in the near future." - Matt Rogers
