Really chill cigar bar. Friendly staff, good drinks and a decent humidor. Just what you need. Music not too loud and the game on the screens with captions. Liked it so much we ended up here twice over the weekend!

Of the 3 "Speakeasies" I visited tonight- this had the best drink. Georgia on My Mind was a perfect balance of strong and sweet. I would come back just for this drink. The bartenders were friendly and had our drinks out in minutes. If cigar smoke is t your thing ... this isn't your place.

I will keep this one brief. You want to get away from the cacophony of the Broadway? Like cigars? want a well made Manhattan or Old Fashioned, or another classic cocktail? This is your place. This is located a few blocks...uphill just off of 5th on Church? You can look it up, that night was hazy. This place has a nice chill vibe with large windows facing the street so you can people watch. Their walk in humidor, and an impressive array of cigars, with a wide range of prices, and along with that they have a cutting and lighting table for use, and more importantly, it is well ventilated. Cocktail wise - they have a decent curated inventory of decent bourbons. Watching the bartenders work their craft, you can see they were well trained, and were quite precise in their craft which I appreciated. This is a must stop for me when I go to Nashville. It is certainly worth the walk to hang out there for an hour or two.

Cigar bar & Lounge

Out of three Nashville downtown cigar Lounge's that I visited, Red Phone Booth, Casa de Montecristo Cigar Lounge and this place, the Ariston, is the winner. Although it's smaller, it's a classy cigar lounge, ventilation is good, clean and modern. If you want a vibe with more action and crowd, the others are good.

Stopped in on a quiet Sunday for an espresso martini. This is an upscale establishment that clearly understood the assignment. My martini was excellent, the ambiance is perfection, and obviously it smells like heaven. Will be making this a regular spot.

Great place to relax, have an adult beverage, and enjoy a cigar from their top notch selection.

We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

I sat at the bar and had one of their seasonal cocktails as well as a manhattan. The bartender, Skye, (who is amazing btw!) took great care of me and even offered me a taste of a spirit behind the bar for a recommended cocktail. The entire experience is worth the price point. I recommend taking a ride share and walking to your venue on a nice evening. I'm glad the Voorhees building is being restored. I'll be back to try their burger!

Cigar lovers can enjoy a smoke here, but if you're a non-smoker, be aware that the lounge smells like cigar smoke. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily go back.

The absolute worst experience ever!…read more No one answered the door with my code twice for 20 minutes total until another group of 5 showed up and punched in their code then all of a sudden magic happened and the door opens for them. I can tell the employee at the front didn't like us walking in behind the other group. Then everything went down hill after we were seated, we felt so unwelcome. I can go on and on about everything that happened. If you are the owner and you're reading this please try and hire new staff. Your employees were super rude, specifically the guy in the humidor with the white cowboy hat, he needs to be fired for how rude and arrogant he is. I almost walked out of the establishment after my interaction with him even though I didn't say a word about his actions or act on it because I didn't want to ruin my wife and I date night especially that we came all the way from Missouri and only had the weekend to have fun. Tell your staff not to judge a book by its cover please. And btw you should really service your humidor, and rotate your padron inventory, your top shelves have mold and plume all over them.

We went in the afternoon so it was pretty quiet still, but the bar tenders were friendly and helpful. And although I'm not a huge tequila fan, I was impressed with my drink.

We walked in around 5:00 PM, and there were very few people in the bar. We had a party of six, so we sat down at a table and waited. After sitting there for a while without anyone coming over, I finally went to the bar. Shortly after that, a waitress came to our table, so I went back and we placed our order. Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night. But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.

Now if I had known about the new ownership and lack of availability of what I ASSUMED the cocktail menu would be, I might have reconsidered going but this review isn't about that... its all about the staff at Tiger Bar who were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! What an amazing duo we encountered behind the bar! They did their absolute most to find us a drink we would enjoy and even saved my boyfriend from being attacked by bees outside. I'm sure there's changes people aren't too stoked about but the people who make these cocktails really do care about what you want and how to serve you best. I wish for the life of me I could remember their names but I can only hope they see this and know that I am so thankful for their kindness My only regret was not being able to go back before we left. Thank you folks at Tiger Bar!!!

Sadly, since the change in ownership, it seems to have gone downhill quickly. On our recent visits, they no longer had the ingredients needed to make many of the cocktails, the food has essentially disappeared from the menu--with only popcorn available--and the music was so painfully loud that we felt like we needed earplugs. What was once a unique destination now feels like just another bar on the Gallatin strip, which is really disappointing because the original Tiger Bar had so much character and potential. At this point, I would even suggest considering a name change. Many of the older, glowing reviews reflect the Tiger Bar that existed under the previous ownership and, unfortunately, don't represent the experience today. If it had not been for the kind staff (I counted only 3 which may explain why tables were sticky) I would give zero stars. Giving 2 stars because the staff was friendly and kind and seemed to be trying , the bar tender did attempt to offer drink suggestions. They are not the blame for downfall of a once cool bar and vibe.
