Favorite Date Night Restaurants
Koré
"We pair phenomenal, International fusion cuisine with delicious, craft cocktails in a sophisticated, urban atmosphere where we pride ourselves on taking southern hospitality to the next level!"
This is a favorite date spot that the owners adore. The food is fun as it is phenomenal as well as the staff that work there.
Geist Bar + Restaurant
"Stylish, brick-clad eatery & bar offering American fare plus cocktails, wine & a champagne garden."
A beautiful restaurant inside and out, a perfect date night spot that pulls in all of the romantic vibes. Food is top class and you leave feeling like royalty.
Jane's Hideaway
"At Jane's, we are serving up re-invented Southern classics with local ingredients, paired with a listening experience of live music from the next generation of bluegrass and Americana virtuosos. Hide out tonight in East Nashville with a Tennessee spirit-based cocktail and you'll quickly become a friend of Jane's."
The food is unique and delish and the music always sets the mood just right.
Favorite Date Night Cocktail Bars
The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club
"Imaginative, seasonal cocktails & modern shareable plates served in a stylish space."
Hidden away in East Nashville is this perfectly moody bar with warm, low lighting and decor that makes you feel like you are in a 007 movie. Cocktails and service is top tier.
Green Hour Cocktail & Absinthe Bar
"Chill haunt serving unique cocktails, plus absinthe flights and chocolate pairings."
A fun and unique experience that is truly worth checking out. The chocolate pairing with the absinthe flight is both delicious and adventurous. A fun date night that is unforgettable.
Coral Club
"Coral Club is the epitome of a quick respite tucked away in East Nashville. Founded by four locally-based, seasoned hospitality and cocktail industry veterans, the bar aims to bring a sense of warmth and relief within a lively atmosphere to Nashville locals and travelers alike."
If feels like you are being transported to the Caribbean the moment you enter through the doors. The drinks are to die for and the service is the best in town!
Favorite Coffee/Tea Shops
Eat Bubbles!
"Eat Bubbles is a milk tea and boba company. In preparing our handcrafted drinks, we use the finest quality artisan teas. We source our teas from family-owned tea gardens in Japan, Taiwan, India and around the world. We make our own simple syrups in-house using organic brown sugar"
Taylor Thompson's absolute favorite boba place, the tapioca boba they use is the freshest in town! Her favorite drink is the Tiger Milk Boba Tea- comfort in a cup.
The Horn
"A family-owned cafe serving authentic Somali chai & street food with an American twist in Nashville."
A long time favorite of everyone who works here. The best chai you will ever have and their sambusas is exactly what you need to make your day better. Also an amazing space to get work done- chill and spacious- you can't ask for a better cafe.
Elegy Coffee
"Cafe with an espresso bar serving coffee, tea, pastries, and prepared foods, including a popular breakfast burrito."
The coffee is some of the smoothest you'll try here in Nashville, the way they blend their flavors makes everything feel cohesive with every sip- unlike most coffee joints where the syrups overtake the whole drink. Also- have to try their burritos! You'll be thinking about them nonstop once you try them.
