No 308

This bar, along gritty Gallatin Avenue in East Nashville, serves expertly made cocktails like the Sam Malone with bourbon, rose vermouth, and cherry liqueur to a eclectic group of folks. The shotgun space has a long elevated bar on the right-hand side and cozy banquettes along the left. Table surfaces are covered with pages from Beat books from Brautigan to Kerouac. Happy hour kicks off at 5 p.m., and it’ll be rocking by the end of the night.
