NY Speakeasy meets East Nashville...knock on the door and they will let you in if there's room. They tell you where to sit and have no formal drink menu...it's a "go with it" kind of drink experience where the bartender guides your experience. It's a bit hidden off a side street so could be tricky to locate but worth a trip.
