Hidden in a basement of the Maddox Hotel this is a real gem of Nashville's nightlife. Changing themes four times a year and having to close down during those periods, the bar is otherwise open the all the remaining days of the year. The staff are incredible and the cocktails are cool. There is a feeling of a private club to the whole spot, but also having a very fun vibe. It's elegant and dark, it's unique and alluring. It's a place that any self respecting drinker should visit. read more

Hidden bar always has an incredible vibe highlighted by their current theme. The cocktails are delicious and beautiful, and the bartenders are helpful when you can't decide which to choose. It's the perfect spot for an upscale nightcap. I've been for their Beetlejuice themed pop-up and their hidden garden pop-up. Both had fun decor that brought the vision together, and the cocktails change to highlight the current theme. Can't wait to see what they do next! read more

Hidden Bar - Speakeasies Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I really love coming to this speakeasy hidden bar. They always change the theme and it's always worth checking out for sure. The service is always welcoming and friendly. On weekdays doesn't get too packed but weekends can be a hit or miss but you can usually get a place to sit. Haven't tried much if their food so can't really say too much on that. But the drinks is usually pretty strong and good. Until the next theme I will check it out again. read more

The perfect name for this place!! This was a repeat for us! Drinks and ambiance were great!!

Hidden Bar is easily one of my favorite stops in all of Nashville, a city filled with great spots. When I visited, the entire place was transformed into a "A Christmas Story" fever dream--in the best possible way. Think leg lamps glowing proudly like "a major award," and pink bunny‑suit energy tucked into corners. Speaking of drinks: fantastic. Creative, balanced, and themed with the best call backs. The vibe was cozy, clever, and just chaotic enough to believe you've wandered into Ralphie's holiday universe. I'd absolutely come back and fully plan to dive into whatever wild theme they dream up next time I'm in Nashville. If they keep this level of creativity going, I'm all in. read more

It's holiday time! Whether you're a local or visiting Nash on vacation; you need to stop in for the holiday pop up. This bar never disappoints in the themes for the holiday. The drinks are festive and poured with you in mind iykyk. Service is prompt, but be prepared to get there somewhat early so that you'll get a spot to sit and thoroughly enjoy the ambiance. Hidden bar fills up fast during the holidays. read more

Came to the Hidden Bar while in Nashville again. Enjoyed the Cuban theme this time (last time was Christmas theme). Jodi was a great bartender and great recommendation! read more

SOOOO cool! We went through a kitchen? and then were led to a storage room door! (there was a bouncer so evidently it was the hidden bar) The experience getting there is as exciting as the bar itself. Currently it's halloween themed and the details are amazing! Drinks, decor & vibes are perfect for spooky season. read more

I had read about the Hidden Bar upon researching speakeasies in Nashville. Hidden Bar is undoubtedly one that lives up to its name. A hidden speakeasy nestled underneath Printers Alley of downtown Nashville, Hidden Bar is one you need to do your due diligence to know where to go to locate. But if you're able to connect the dots, you will enter another universe, enjoying exquisite and tasty cocktails that will allow you to live your best life. To find the Hidden Bar, you need to find yourself... or just locate Lona on Church Street and head down the stairs. You have to see, not just look, and find a door that typically leads only to storage. And from there, you will be whisked away into another dimension -- dark, hidden, and mysterious. Through another door, you enter the glorious crimson lights of the Hidden Bar, where cool Euro dance music fills the air as mixologists craft and serve excellent cocktails with precision. There is this large chandelier with a crazy 3D effect. I loved the style of the shelving that helped radiate the aura of French Nouveau Dreams and disco machines. Taking a read of the menu that was created with a newspaper-like design, I enjoyed cocktails such as the Last Word, the Fairy Cream, and the gorgeous Nia's Car. I enjoyed the Fairy Cream the most, which tastes like a Russian Quaalude, only with absinthe and a focus on using dark and light crème de cacao. The Last Word had more anise-forward flavors with the green Chartreuse but was cut with the sweetness of the maraschino liqueur. The Nia's Car was a complete left turn from the first two drinks, and the one I finished the evening with. Comprising Brandy and Sorel, with cranberry juice, agave, rhubarb, and orange bitters, your palate went on quite the journey that is also balanced with the hibiscus sugar rim. The mixologist behind the bar made magic with the drinks. I would return in a heartbeat, especially if he were slinging. It is impressive how they have designed this bar. Once you figure out how to get there, whether you sit at the bar or grab a darkened nook around the back, you will enjoy the vibes and subdued energy of the bar that will make you lose track of time as you sip drink after drink. read more

Came for the Halloween event - so fun! I love a good Speakeasy and Hidden Bar did a great job - from the hidden entry to the fun decor and themed drinks! We loved it all! Also it's a nice size so we were able to find a place to sit even on a crowded Friday night. Definitely a place to hit in Nashville if you're a speakeasy fan like me! read more

These drinks were VERY strong which I appreciate, but the price being $18-$20 is quite steep for what you get. I mostly went for the ambiance and for cute pictures, the drinks were just okay. read more

I feel like it was better last time we came this year. There were no servers you had to wait in a really long line at the bar. We got there 5 minutes after it opened, and it was already packed with only one table left. It was very dark inside and hard to take any pictures. There were no festive holiday cups like in previous years. We had one drink and left and went somewhere bigger and less crowded and the table next to us was saying the same thing. read more

So the first night I would've said 5 stars for drinks, service, and ambiance. The Halloween decor is next level, and their menu is amazing. First night we loved the drinks made by the woman bartender! We had the pale one and nocturnal, and they were nice and gave us free all hallows dram shots because we came back to make sure we closed out (they didn't take our card or info when we ordered). So we were thrilled by our first experience so went back the next night. This time, the man made our drinks and threw it together. Tasted terrible, so we left them behind. And for drinks this expensive, they should taste delicious! So averaged it out to three stars. read more

We have been to a hidden bar twice while visiting Nashville. This was my favorite visit because of the Oath and Fang Halloween pop-up. The cocktails are creative and fun. The bartender staff were helpful with recommendations too. The decor was so fun for Halloween. It was definitely a busy, popular spot! read more

Ambiance was great especially for Halloween. Floors were very sticky though Cocktails are overpriced for the flavor. I had the nocturnal and was not impressed so decided to leave. If you are charging $20 it has to be impeccable. Service was good though! read more

Such a fun speakeasy! We went for their vampire themed pop up and it did not disappoint. Everyone was dressed so on theme and the drinks were unique. A ghost tour was there and we heard of all the stories that were in the area. Service was quick and all drinks seemed to be premade which helped in large crowds. read more

Check out this little Christmas Speakeasy called Hidden-Ville! Only open till Jan 1. They do not take reservations and you must be 21. Drinks, every drink and food are all Who-ville themed! The bar is totally decorated in the theme. So dress up and have some fun trying all the drinks. The bar staff were amazing! Check out the drink that got lit up! Cheers!!! read more

We came here for the Beetlejuice pop up bar. I love that they change out the themes of this speakeasy. It was a little interesting to find, but we asked around and then were able to locate it. We didn't have to wait too long, about 30 minutes to get in. It's right outside the Makeready L&L, so you can enjoy that bar while you are waiting. Don't try to run off with their themed glassware, or you'll end up with a heft $100 fee. Apparently that happened within the first week of opening. They have a couple snack options, but I didn't see many people ordering anything other than drinks. read more

One of the coolest speakeasies I have ever been to! Hidden on a different floor than the lobby of the Noelle, this quaint bar transforms you into another experience when you walk through the storage doors. Inside is luxurious and comfortable with hand crafted cocktails. The bartenders service was well cared in them taking time to learn about our taste and give tips to us before ordering. read more

Hidden Bar - Mocktail and Eagle rare - Speakeasies Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Meh. It was fun to try to find this hidden bar inside a beautiful hotel. Once we got there, it was a total letdown. The vibe was kind of bland. There were two sets of people sitting at the bar and two bartender serving them. We sat at our seat for about 15 to 20 minutes and nobody ever asked us if we wanted to do anything to drink. So we got up and left. read more

We loved coming here each night to wind down and have a night cap. Bartenders were awesome! Atmosphere great. I would only change the music. For a speakeasy, its way too loud and the wrong genre. They should tone it down and change to match a speakeasy vibe. read more

We went for the Hiddenville theme on Thanksgiving. Decorations were cute, lots of fun places to take photos. We went at opening so there wasn't many there, so no waiting for a seat. Bartenders very cool and talented. Drinks were complex and good. We'd probably go again if the theme seems fun. read more

Was good but not sure I'm going back. Sunday evening, we got a bit more 'posh' than Broadway and this was our first stop before jazz on Printer's Alley. Found the Storage door and went into to what I think is a polynesian theme (?). Drinks hovered near $20. House type music playing. Was nice to sit and relax until a 4 some came in being super loud (not the bar's fault) that changed the vibe. Had our drinks and went on our way. read more

Hidden Bar is well known amongst Nashville is an ever-evolving themed speak easy where the drinks are always creative and the décor is memory inducing, and this seasons Ralphie's Christmas theme is no different! As a MASSIVE Christmas Story fan, when I first got wind of Ralphie's Christmas, I made it my mission to get in that little green door before Hidden Bar transformed into something else. After a handful of attempts where wait times were pushing 2 hours, we got a 50 minute wait on a recent Thursday night. We checked in, bellied up to the bar at MakeReady and waited until we got to party in the Chop Suey Palace with a few of the Bumpuses dogs! Pretty close to on the noise, our text message came through and we made our way to the check-in table where they stamped our hands for reentry and directed us in. Upon entry you are immediately greeted with the famous "fra-gi-le" leg lamp in the vestibule, and then you turn the corner and the bar opens up for you. The space is tight, so them only letting a certain number of people in is certainly smart for enjoyment, and I am sure, fire safety purposes. Even with monitored entry, many folks have to stand. As mentioned, Christmas Story is my all time favorite holiday movie, so seeing all the things made me unbelievably happy! Red Ryder BB guns, Chop Suey signs, the pink bunny outfit, Santa and his Elves, the Bumpuses dogs and even a couple of tables set up as Ralphie and Randy's beds! It was a cool place to hang out for a few cocktails. Speaking of cocktails, they had 8 themed cocktails including a Triple Dog Dare, Drink Your Ovaltine, Fra-Gee-Lay and of course the You'll Shout Your Eye Out! As you can imagine, I had to try a few and started with the Drink Your Ovaltine. After I finished that off, I went with the You'll Shout Your Eye Out as I wanted something a tad less cream forward. Unfortunately for me, the You'll Shout Your Eye Out was not that, as they added banana cream and banana chips to the cocktail at the end, neither of which were mentioned on the menu. I am a trooper, so I pushed through, but would have been nice to know the entire details of the cocktail. The same goes with the Ho-Ho-Ho, which turned out to be a hot cocktail, again, not listed or shared upon ordering. The cocktails were tasty, just not what was expected. They do have a tiny food menu featuring Crispy Duck Fried Rice, Lo Mein and Egg Rolls, and even a dessert called OHH FUUUUUDGE. We did not partake in the food, but other did look to be enjoying. Service was solid from entry to exit. The check-in staff were friendly and welcoming, and the bartenders inside were energetic, helpful and friendly as well. Overall, cool theme that brought back all the memories for me! I cannot wait for the yearly 24 hour marathon of A Christmas Story in mere weeks! read more

Went to the Hidden bar with some friends for the Beetlejuice pop up. It was neat but not everything it's raved to be on Instagram. The drinks were pretty pricey, but they were delicious. Props to the Bartender's, they were lots of fun and very friendly! Overall it was a cool experience but not something I would go back to do again. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night, probably our first mistake. There wasn't much going on and it looked pretty dead. We were staying in the hotel and decided to check the place out. It's a very large space with lots of seating areas and a large bar. Music was ok, what bothered me was the large bright chandelier. It took away from the speakeasy ambience. Drinks were good enough, nothing really out of the ordinary. The entrance to the speakeasy is through a storage closet door, easily missed if you don't know where to go. read more

Very cute bar to hang out on a date or even with the girls. Music was not too loud either. A great bar to people watch and the ambiance is great. BUT the drinks were way overpriced and meh. Located in a nice area if you want to get out of Broadway but if you're gonna have a speakeasy make the drinks at least affordable and good to want to come back. read more

Hidden Bar is a hidden gem. Great ambiance for couples or a group. Valet service was awesome too

Damn. This place is 5 stars for sure. The drinks may be pricey but everything is pricey in Nashville. The vibe and atmosphere in this place is the perfect place to start the evening with smooth cocktail then venture out for a meal then before it's time to say night night you return for a night cap cocktail. Chilling on the red velvet sofas listening to some jams and doing some nice people watching. The bartenders definitely know how to mix the drinks. Highly recommended for the Old Fashioned. Would definitely be back again. read more

Hidden Bar - From the corner couch. - Speakeasies Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I really enjoyed my time at this establishment and will definitely return the next time I'm in Tennessee. I had an Old Fashioned cocktail along with some appetizers, both of which were fantastic. The bartenders were amazing as well. There's even a secret door at the bottom of the stairs that says "Storage"--you would never suspect that a hidden bar is behind it. What a great idea! read more

Not a hidden gem. Weekends always busy to get in. Inside small and packed. More like a chill vibe. Sitting and drinking to kill some time type of place. I do like that they change up the decoration theme. Live music dj not so great. Drinks extra charge for liquor taxes. read more

Coolest speakeasy bar I've ever been to! Awesome decorations and not too hard to find, but still hidden enough. Themed drinks were very creative and tasty, and they even had a few small plates which I wasn't expecting. Very nice bartenders and staff. We also passed the Mad Hatter Tea room which wasn't open at the time, but the decorations were so cool! Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy great craft cocktails and creative themed bars. read more

We went for this year's Christmas pop-up and had a nice time. We got there early and still had to fight for a table, and when we left at around 9 there was a big line outside. One of the drinks was delicious, another was terrible, but the food was good. Great cozy christmassy vibe. read more

Expensive drinks were just okay. Service was slow. It was very busy and not enough staff.

Ok first off.... LOVE!!!! If you are a true Christmas Vacation fan, the little decorations and details in this place will give you so much serotonin. I came here last year and it was Home Alone themed, which was also fantastic. I would not recommend staying here as an all night type of thing, but coming for a cocktail or two is a fantastic idea. It is small and only a certain amount of people can come in at a time, which is great so it isn't too crowded. I already can't wait to see what the next theme is! read more
