The Patterson House

Came for drinks. The Hostess warmly welcomed us which I really appreciated because some places don’t give you such a kind reception. The Peacemaker Old Fashioned was a great twist to the regular old fashioned. It had hints of coffee which brought a great flavor profile. The ambiance of the restaurant was just right for either nights with friends or on a date.

The Patterson House never disappoints. The drinks are always crafted with care and packed with flavor. The vibe is warm, intimate, and perfect for a cozy date night. It’s one of those spots where the atmosphere just feels right the moment you walk in. Definitely a favorite in Nashville.

An amazing view of the city and speakeasy atmosphere inside. The food was delicious and priced well. The service and drinks were top tier.

This place is really special. The ambience is romantic, cavernous, and lively. It’s giving Gatsby speak easy vibes. My bartender, Nate was top notch— personable, attentive, and highly skilled. I ordered Vincent’s Ruin, and it was perfect.

Walked in from the buzz of the city, poor parking experience (yes, they validate!) and into a hand-crafted cocktail bar with high-touch service. The menu—beautiful, sprawling, and narrative-rich—reads like a love letter to the golden age of American bartending. I barely needed it though—because Trent, my bartender, was a star.

Sumptuous, beautifully balanced cocktails. Yes, they're pricey, but oh my, are they worth it! We had dinner, and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food - pickled plate; beef tartare; pork chop (with an unbelievably tasty and complex sauce) and cacio e pepe with mushrooms. Service was friendly and solicitous, but not overbearing. Atmosphere is elegant and welcoming - low lighting and soft jazz.

This is one of the most memorable bars in my mind. I actually stumbled upon it from a Bourdain which I use any time I’m in a new city. Love to follow in that man’s footsteps. Patterson House was everything I like in a cocktail bar. Dimly lit, strong selection of bar bites, excellent background music ( I believe Tom Waits’ dissonant yet pleasant tracks were drifting through the air that day). And of course I have to mention the cocktails- the few I tried were balanced, the menu had a good variety of selections, and the staff was expertly crafting them and eager to help with any selections. All around a damn good bar.

The cocktails and food were phenomenal! Everything came out pretty quickly. The city view at night was great. Our server was welcoming and attentive all night to our big group of 8!

Our experience at The Patterson House was nothing short of exquisite. I have never experienced such thorough, genuine, and engaging service quality in my life. Pat, Adam, and the entire team didn’t just make us feel welcome—they made us feel at home. The food by Chef Matt Atkinson was absolutely delicious, with some highlights being the local lettuces salad, the fried green tomatoes, the ricotta toast, and the cheeseburger. Every drink we ordered felt like the best one we ever had, until we had the next. Overall a must-go!

Super solid place to try crafty cocktails. Bartenders are knowledgeable and will help you to pick the right drink. They also take great care in ensuring the drinks are just right and it is awesome to watch them work. Quiet so you can have a conversation and very cozy. A new regular stop for every visit to Nashville.
