![]() ![]() The bar area is covered and with heaters, so it was perfect since it was a very cold (30's) night. That's not the reason for the 3 stars though. I wasn't aware that I should ask so the valet had to run down the restaurant and get it validated.Rare Bird was a backup plan since the original bar we were trying to go to was packed! We were told it was decorated like a "winter wonderland" but was disappointed when we got up there and there wasn't much winter or wonderland. Tips: If you are dining in the restaurant, make sure you let the hostess or server know that you valet parked and they will give you a sticker for your ticket reducing the overall tariff to $8.00 + tax and tip. Potential Pass: Carrots and the Chocolate Cake Tariff: Vegetables and Grains range between $10-$22 and meat, fish and poultry range between $12-$28 with the heartier courses tipping the scale at $28. It's a great place to catch up with friends! Not sure what's in that burger sauce, but it will leave you wanting more! If you have time, pop into the Hidden Bar and have a cocktail. Makeready knocks it out of the park with their L&L burger. As with any new restaurant, there are always some kinks to work out. Let's welcome Makeready Libations and Liberation to the Nashville food scene. Perhaps the mezcal I was sipping on earlier thew me off my cocktail game. The Show Pony, which is currently on draft, is comprised of vodka, Aperol, ginger, and lime. Purple Haze which is made of Espolon Tequila, Ancho Verde, Dry Curacao and Pomegranate and was much sweeter than I anticipated. I had a chance to sample two cocktails: Purple Haze and Show Pony. Looking to quench your thirst? Between the assortment of wines, cocktails and beer on draft, you are sure to find something to please your palate. Think biscuits and caviar, tater tots with truffles ( be still my heart) and crudites. Need a late night bite? The Hidden Bar has limited food offerings but they are solid. So this is as far as I can take you but give it time and photos will certainly surface. They kindly request no phones or cameras and guests refrain from snapping photos or selfies. The server said that they were calling it the Hidden Bar and it was a tribute to the speakeasy bars of the prohibition, which fits perfectly with the hotel vibe. TWO DAYS! :) There's nothing I love more than being one of the first people to a secret space! Since the door wasn't marked, I inquired as to the name of the bar. Literally, the hidden bar had only been open for two days. We walked in during a prime dining time only to find one other couple in the restaurant. Even though it's only been open a short amount of time, press and restaurant buzz has been minimal. Other than a few photos on Instagram, I had no idea this restaurant was open. Priding itself on being the "working man's tavern," there's certainly something on the menu for everyone. Last but not least, hop on the elevator ( it's a beauty, too) and hit LL and visit Makeready Libations and Liberation. Shaken or straight up, make sure you sip it slowly and admire the beautiful surroundings. Killer day at the office and in much need of a martini? Look no further than the Trade Room located just a few steps beyond the hotel lobby. ![]() In need of a caffeine boost? Visit Drug Store Coffee created by Barista Parlor genius and owner, Andy Mumma.
