Luckily it was walking distance from one of the trolley stops (Farmers Market). We came in on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy but we were able find a spot. We started with drinks. We then ordered a falafel sandwich with the waffle fries and a queso dip. The fries and the dip were delicious. The falafel sandwich was also good. The service was quick and we picked up a t-shirt on the way out. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Whenever I have friends visiting, this is where I bring them when I want to show them something better than Broadway. I recently tried the "Woman On Top" cocktail, and it was delicious...I recommend! The food and drink prices are a little high, but totally worth it. The upstairs can get pretty loud and crowded, but there's also a spacious patio with lots of seating. I've only gone for drinks so far, but I've heard great things about the food. Multiple people have told me to try the breakfast taco (my weakness), so I'll be updating this review when I go back!

Don't go into the actual building where you'd access the main entrance. After you pull into the 1865 gate, park in the spaces facing you or close. The entrance into the club is behind the pool area. So the first building you see ahead (behind the ramp and around until you see a sign that says 1865 club) We were greeted by someone who sat just inside of the door who let us know that it was standing room only. We were ok with that since this was sort of impromptu. Once inside the club, it was beautiful! Low lights, beautiful decor, live music. We went to the bar and ordered cocktails. Luz was our bartender and the drinks were AMAZING!! There is not a person inside of Nashville who has made a better version of my favorite drink. (She's from the city in which it originated so that tracks) If you're looking for an intimate setting with great vibes and cocktails.. definitely check this spot out!

Every dish felt thoughtfully put together, and a few really stood out. I've been on the hunt for more black sesame treats, and the raspberry sherbet with cremolata and salted black sesame seed butter was exactly what I was looking for--the most perfect, not-too-sweet dessert. Creative, balanced, and completely unforgettable. I'd go back just for that. The stracciatella on toast was another standout--simple but incredibly well executed. My second favorite dish was the lightly roasted snap pea with fennel, spring onion, and chili--fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. So good. The linguini and clams was decent, but didn't quite hit the same level as the other dishes. It leaned a bit too al dente for my taste, and the flavor felt a little on the bland side. Overall, an incredible dining experience with standout dishes and impeccable service. Try this when you're in Germantown.

Grouper was 10/10; this was our favorite dish - we were eating the sauce with a spoon at the end! Linguine 9/10; lemony, light, creamy, flavorful Mafalde 9/10; the breadcrumb on top was wonderful and the sauce was amazing. Ours had several big mussels. Sourdough bread 7/10; average crusty bread, didn't taste much "seaweed" in the seaweed butter On the expensive side, but in my opinion worth it for a special occasion with great service and great bites.

The ambience is dark and intimate (like a classic speakeasy), and the staff truly goes above and beyond with pairing chocolates with cocktails. I loved the Orange Balsamic and Lavender Hibiscus Chocolates. Did I mention the hand-crafted cocktails are incredible? They also have an impressive selection of about 15-20 absinthe varieties and offer three variety flights. The Dutch-style absinthe fountains are authentic antiques, so make sure you check them out! The staff is happy to explain how they work. I also had the chance to speak with them about their cocktail-creation process, and it's clear how much thought and intention go into the menu. I highly recommend this place for a date or a unique night out with friends in Nashville.

Thankfully that room had no trace of cigar smoke. We were told in its hey day it was originally a brothel. More tales of murder.

You can check out the calendar to see what they're playing for the night, the ambiance in there is great-definitely a mix of LA & New York. It's a mix crowd which I love.

Nashville's lounge revolution continues. We've gotten Nashville's take on Brooklyn, LA and Vegas…read more the back corner is very Miami Beach. When I walked in I, immediately, thought of Haven (RIP https://www.yelp.com/biz/haven-miami-beach-2). From the LED wall to the music to the drinks to the vibe... I didn't feel like I was in Nashville anymore. the back corner stands out and gives Middle Tennesseans something that's not readily available in this area. If you're in the mood for a little coastal cosmopolitanness (is that word? It's not a word), the back corner is about to be your new favorite place. The neighborhood gets things moving in the right direction. For as much as Germantown has (scenic streets, fancy high rises, coffee, good eats) it didn't have a nightlife destination. Putting one here makes a lot of sense. Building off the 5th & Taylor imprint, the back corner starts off fancy (but not pretentious) and builds to memorable. Upon entry, the first thing you notice is the LED wall and stage. With a changing display of electronic intoxication, you're drawn into a world far away from Lower Broad. If you can break your gaze away from the stage, you'll notice the upper and lower lounge seating. Intimate, cozy and a bit mysterious, the seating at the back corner lets you decide whether you want to be front & center or if you're rather sit back and take it all in. You can be as public or private as you'd like. If indoor seating isn't your thing, make your way outside to enjoy the fire pit and Germantown night sky. Just do us all a favor and refrain from smoking. Seeing cigarette butts along the patio or by (in??) the fire pit is not sexy and very off-brand. All the above said and noted, the back corner is not a huge space -- which is a plus and minus. It's a plus because it never becomes the cavernous mess of bass and desperation. The minus is crowds gonna crowd and with a lot of people, the space will be tight. I don't know how to fix that. I suppose a velvet rope and waitlist will keep crowds at bay but neither feels very Nashville. Hmm... Another minus (relating to the size) is that there's only one bar. One bar in a space this cool is a bit tight. I know the space behind the bar isn't huge but I would staff it with 3 bartenders at a time so as to keep up with the crowd. Because you're going to want to drink. A lot. The cocktail program at the back corner is a bit unusual for Nashville -- and very Miami. Expect rum, colors and a boozy punch. Actually, the menu could use a punch. Get on that, tbc. Re drink progression... start with the gimlet. It's pretty to look at and refreshing to drink. All the mixers, juices, etc. are made in house so you're getting quality fare. From there, hit the No. 4 and, then, the No. 2. If you're still upright, drink some water. Water? Who am I kidding? Cocktails! You're in Miami, [redacted]! Well, sorta. If you need some noshes, 5th & Taylor is serving up bites. Don't come here for dinner. Who eats food? Let the music and booze nourish your body. As perfect as the back corner is for DJ sets, live music (this *is* Nashville, after all) works as well. the back corner isn't the Downtown dance club people have wanted for a (looooong) while. But it is a welcome addition to the city's nightlife scene and, very possibly, you're new favorite place to go. Bienvenidos a Nashville.
