Cozy Bars in Nashville

🥂 Ernie’s Boondock (no Instagram, but they’re below Up Down in East!) – This bar is known for their cheap beer, so it can get rowdy. But, the atmosphere is 1970s basement, complete with a fireplace. So, it gets the cozy stamp of approval!
🥂 Golden Sound in the Gulch – this former recording studio is another vintage-vibed spot, featuring delicious craft cocktails (make a resy for the speakeasy Sushi Bar in the back or grab empanadas from Alba’s next door and bring them in with you.)
🥂 1865 Club in North Nashville – head through the iron gates, around to the back of the building by the pool, and you’ll find a true speakeasy. You might feel like you’re in a cave when you enter, but the yummy cocktails and beautiful decor will remind you that you’re still in civilization.
🥂 The Authentique in East is a French-owned wine bar and creperie and it is perfect for an intimate date. Reservations are recommended.
🥂 Rosemary & Beauty Queen in East – this beautiful restored house has all kinds of eclectic hiding spots.
🥂 Urban Cowboy in East – head to the Parlor Bar for a glass of wine, or outside to one of the fire pits. Cozy either way.
🥂 The Amsterdamian in East is downright sexy with its plush decor and lo-fi jams.
🥂 Grandpa Bar in North Nashville – if your grandparents’ home isn’t cozy, I don’t know what is. Stop in for some of the best espresso martinis in the city.
🥂 The Fox in East is one of the most celebrated bars in Nashville for good reason. It’s not a speakeasy, but it feels like one and is quite popular. And, they boast an extensive, well-crafted mocktail menu, as well.

These spots are sure to scratch your cozy itch, but if you’re looking for even more places to feel snug and warm, check out my list of the coziest coffee shops in town!
