Downtown · The Gulch · SoBro · Nashville, Tennessee

One of the only Davidoff Appointed Merchants in Tennessee, hidden in plain sight on Church Street — leather, low light, and a ventilation system you never notice doing its job. The house list runs past Davidoff to Fuente, Padrón, Crowned Heads and God of Fire; the bar pours seriously; and the monthly pairings, caviar service included, treat the sit as an occasion. Open to midnight, every day.
