(Nashville) New Cocktail Bar in Midtown Nashville

[soupsister]

Making a return visit next weekend. Looking forward to it *very* much.

We look forward to it Judy. Any cool new stuff that screams summer? In the process of making the summer menu and looking for some inspiration to go along with the perspiration.

Look forward to coming up with inspiring things for you. Perhaps after a Juliet and Romeo or two, I'll be even more inspiring.

I have been remiss in posting recently. But I want to show y'all a couple of the summer dishes.

The wings are cooked in bacon fat, deboned, stuffed with blue cheese, and then put on a hot sauce with celery leaves. Wicked.

The basil is from our garden, buffalo moz, heirloom tomato's, on grilled bread.

Cheers,

Toby

Congratulations on the Times plug, Toby and gang!

This is my first post on eGullet (having lurked for years) and I wanted to "use" it to say that my S.O. and I have thoroughly enjoyed our previous 2 visits to the Patterson House and will be on to our third there this weekend (and we'd go more often if we actually *lived* in Nashville!) We also second the recommendation for your Bacon Old Fashioned, loved the Spring Sidecar and are looking forward to sampling the new (to us) drinks.

(especially since we'll be looking to make up for the disappointing fact that Zola's closed this week and Miro District is booked out for a private function on Friday night!)

A testimonial:

We stopped at Patterson House on Friday when in Nashville and thoroughly enjoyed our-selves. Sorry we missed seeing Toby but our "mixologist" whose name, I think, was John was very good and was an absolute delight. We are making Patterson House (now that we know where it is) a stop every time we visit Nashville.

[Alchemist]

It is always very cool to have something that you created taken and riffed on by someone else. This is such an honor as well.

The J&R is near the end.

Wifey and I stopped in Nashville on our way back up north just to check out TPH.... Had a slew of drinks, all well made, excellent looking place, knowledgeable staff, definitely worth the effort. Also, Josh went out of his way to get us reservations at a great restaurant, last minute. Thanks for the hospitality!

[Chris Amirault]

Toby, do you think we could have the formulae for the Empire Falls and the Carpetbagger? (Yes, I just got a bottle of the R&W Orchard Pear.)
