Barrel Proof

We were looking for a good cocktail spot while in Nashville, and this one came up on Yelp. Upon walking and getting to the place it looked very familiar. After going inside and talking to the bartender, we then realized that this is a sister location of the barrel proof in New Orleans. We were very excited to hear that because the one in New Orleans was amazing.Even though it was New Year's Eve, they were very attentive to us, and answered all of our questions. They still hadn't had their grand opening and we're just open for a little over a week. However, everybody was on top of their game, and they made some amazing cocktails. Prices were very reasonable for the level of cocktails that you are getting If you're in the neighborhood, make sure to pay a visit, you will not be disappointed

I visited on 7/6/24. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Good selection of whiskey/whisky at reasonable prices (especially for a city like Nashville). I feel like it would have been a better experience if I hadn't come on a Saturday evening. I was expecting a lower-key, & more serious whiskey bar, but the atmosphere was more club-ish, with loud music aimed toward the Millennial (not an insult - I am one!) crowd. The only other knock was the pricing of their glencairn glasses (I thought a souvenir might be fun); $25 is pretty crazy (for context, they're $12.50 @ Jack Daniel's and $15 at Nashville Barrel Company).

This place is a perfect balance between Neighbors and Geist - more casual than Geist but less dive bar than Neighbors. The perfect place to stop by for a drink before a sounds game or show at Brooklyn Bowl. The cocktails and delicious. We went for happy hour and tried the mini frozen margarita and it was so refreshing! We also ordered the loaded fries. I thought these had a great flavor and were a good portion size for the price, but it did take about 25 minutes to get our food. The employees were helpful and made it easy to order!

Great add to Germantown. Located right outside the sounds stadium Barrel Proof offers up a laid back spot to hang and enjoy a good cocktail. Atmosphere leans dark and rustic with a very laid back feel. The wall of whiskeys behind the bar is impressive to look at and the menu consists of very reasonably priced cocktails especially for this part of town.

Love this bar. The vibes are unmatched, the playlist is stellar and there's a free water station. What more could you ask for?

Food was good however the menu is confusing. The menu online is different from what's in house. The way you're supposed to order is weird as well. "Ring bell and order" no waiter/waitress. The bell you are supposed to ring was hidden because the kitchen didn't feel like working. Not really a bourbon bar at all. They were out of all the staple bourbons like eagle rare, buff trace, and EHT. Seem as if they cater more towards the night life than what is advertised. Overall disappointing. Don't know waste your time here.

We stopped in for some food and a drink around 11pm.The bartenders were friendly and attentive. You order your food at a little window by the kitchen. Great, easy set up. The only option was burger and fries. The burger was hands down the best burger I've had in Nashville. I thought the prices were decent and the place had a fun, light vibe. We really enjoyed our experience and would recommend it if it's late and you want a place to eat and relax.

Great little bar in Germantown! My wife and I stopped in for a cocktail before a Nashville Sounds game. They are just outside the stadium and it is a great place to grab a drink before heading to the game. We visited during happy hour. There was a small crowd, but nothing crazy. The bartenders were all very friendly and helpful. Jackie took care of us, and he was great! My wife had a happy hour mini frozen margarita, which was very tasty. I opted for an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the best I've had. Oh, and it was just $7 during happy hour. As I watched Jackie make my cocktail I knew it was going to be good. These folks obviously care about their craft and it shows in their level of service and the quality of the drinks. Another couple sitting near us were also in for the first time and they commented on how great everything was. This will be a go-to spot for us whenever we attend a Sounds game or when we are just exploring Germantown.

This may be skewed a bit positive by the fact that Sam Adams Octoberfest was on tap ( and an even better deal at happy hour) but in addition as a rye/ high rye bourbon fan I can say that a very nice variety was on offer so for those curious or new you could have some fun trying a couple pours you might not find readily available at your local store. Spacious and comfortable seating and the very pleasant staff complement the experience. Highly recommended for drinks away from the hectic Broadway scene yet only steps away.

Barrel Proof is a super well done and vibey bar in the very cool Germantown neighborhood of Nashville. It sits in a great location 2 doors from the main entrance of the Sounds baseball park. BP exhibits top notch service, pro bartenders, a classy yet warm environment from this New Orleans based concept. A host of fine craft cocktails or a shot-and-beer keeps this place fun and unpretentious. Great people and good times indeed! Definitely add this place to your list in Nashville!
