The Patterson House

Nashville's first craft cocktail bar rewrote the playbook when it opened on Tax Day 2009. After 16 years building a loyal following on Division Street, The Patterson House found a new home on the fifth floor of The Bill Voorhees Building in the Gulch, and it's more elegant than ever. Expect two distinct cocktail menus: one featuring bold new creations, another rotating through 150 classics. The bar sits alongside an impressive food program developed with The Catbird Seat, featuring elevated small plates and entrees designed to pair with the drinks. House-made syrups, fresh-squeezed juices, and eight types of twice-filtered ice set the technical standard. The space itself, designed by Dryden Studio, blends old Nashville charm with red oak and cherry wood. Walk in and you understand why this place shaped cocktail culture in Music City.
