Why Nashville for a Bachelorette Speakeasy Night
Broadway is loud, sticky, and covered in glitter, and that is half the fun. But your group will hit a wall around the third honky-tonk.
Speakeasies are the reset button. They are dark, quiet enough to actually talk, and every one of them mixes a cocktail worth photographing. Slot one in on your first night before the late crowd takes over.
The Best Speakeasies
Red Phone Booth
Best for: The grand entrance | Price: $16 to $22 cocktails
You need a passcode to get in, and you dial it into a restored London phone booth right off Broadway. Inside is a 1920s lounge with a cigar room and Neapolitan pizza if the group needs a snack.
Order this: The Red Phone Booth Old Fashioned at $18.
The Patterson House
Best for: Serious cocktail nerds | Price: $16 to $19 cocktails
This Midtown spot is the grandfather of the Nashville craft scene. There is a house rule about no standing and no phones on the bar, so it stays calm and civilized.
Order this: The Juliet and Romeo, a gin cocktail with rose and cucumber, at $17.
Skull's Rainbow Room
Best for: Dinner plus a show | Price: $15 to $20 cocktails
Tucked into Printers Alley, Skull's pairs supper club dinner with live jazz and burlesque on select nights. Reserve a table if you want the full experience with your whole group.
Order this: The Espresso Martini at $16 before the show starts.
Pearl Diver
Best for: A tropical detour | Price: $14 to $18 cocktails
Over in East Nashville, Pearl Diver is a tiki bar with neon, rum, and drinks that come out flaming or in a shark mug. It is the most fun photo backdrop on this list.
Order this: The Painkiller at $15 or a shareable scorpion bowl for the table.
The Fox Bar and Cocktail Club
Best for: A stylish nightcap | Price: $15 to $18 cocktails
Also in East Nashville, The Fox is moody, plant-filled, and takes its cocktails seriously without the attitude. Good pick if half your group is winding down and half is still going.
Order this: A seasonal cocktail off the rotating menu, usually around $16.
Dirty Little Secret
Best for: Ending the night with a bang | Price: $16 to $20 cocktails
Back in Printers Alley, this one leans into surprise performances and a darker, higher-energy room. Save it for last when the group wants one more before bed.
Order this: Whatever the bartender is pushing that night, most land around $17.
Planning Tips
- Book Red Phone Booth and Skull's ahead, since both fill up on weekends and Red Phone Booth needs a passcode from your hotel concierge.
- Cluster the two Printers Alley spots on one night and the two East Nashville spots on another to cut down on rides.
- Most of these have a dress code that skips shorts and athletic wear, so save the sash-and-sneakers look for daytime.
- Speakeasy cocktails run $15 and up, so set a per-person drink budget before you walk in.
