Rosemary & Beauty Queen

Nashville, Tennessee

A cozy Germantown wine and cocktail bar with a menu that rotates seasonally and a staff that genuinely cares whether you're enjoying yourself. The space is small and candlelit, the wine list leans natural and interesting, and the food menu — while short — hits every note. It's the kind of place that becomes your regular within two visits.

Insider tip

Sit at the bar and ask for a wine recommendation. They'll pour you something unexpected and exactly right.

Prince's Hot Chicken Shack

The place that started it all. Prince's has been serving Nashville hot chicken since the 1940s, and everything else in town is a footnote. The heat levels are real — medium here would be extra-hot anywhere else. The room is no-frills, the wait can be long, and none of that matters once you bite in. This is ground zero.

Audrey

Sean Brock's love letter to Southern Appalachian cooking, served in a converted house with a garden out back that supplies half the menu. This isn't nostalgia food — it's painstaking research into heirloom ingredients and forgotten techniques, plated with a precision that makes every course feel like a thesis defense. The tasting menu is the move.

The Hermitage Hotel

The Hermitage Hotel

Nashville's only Beaux-Arts hotel, open since 1910 and still the most elegant room in the city. The lobby ceiling alone is worth a visit — barrel-vaulted stained glass that makes you stand a little straighter. The rooms have been updated without losing the gravitas. The men's restroom downstairs won an award. No, really.

DrinkPearl District · Portland, Oregon

Multnomah Whiskey Library

A members-only whiskey bar that also takes walk-ins if there's room — and the room is worth waiting for. Two stories of floor-to-ceiling spirits behind a rolling library ladder, leather club chairs, and bartenders in vests who take their brown liquor dead seriously. It looks like a Wes Anderson set crossed with an Edwardian gentleman's club, and somehow it works.

DrinkRiNo · Denver, Colorado

Nocturne

A jazz club and cocktail lounge that takes both halves of that equation seriously. The room is intimate and candlelit, the musicians are the real thing, and the cocktails are built with the same precision as the set lists. Live jazz every night, no cover for the bar, and a vibe that makes you feel like you've time-traveled to somewhere better.
