L27 Rooftop Lounge
Beautiful pool, gorgeous view of the city, and their signature cocktails, which change with the season, are always delicious.
This may be my favorite rooftop lounge in Nashville, and it might be everyone else’s too, because it’s always busy. I highly encourage making reservations (through Resy). This rooftop is 27 floors up atop the Westin Hotel downtown. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a great view of their beautiful pool and of course a gorgeous view of the city skyline. Their signature cocktails change with the season and are always delicious. They also serve small plates and entrees if you’re hungry.
The “MELLA CANNELLA” Cocktail: Prosecco, Green Apple Puree, Cinnamon Simple
The Lodge at the Pool Club (Rooftop Bar)
What doesn’t this place have? A pool, cabanas, a gorgeous view, brunch, food, fun cocktails… it has EVERY.THING.
The The Lodge at the Pool Club is a new spot on the rooftop of the Virgin Hotels on Music Row in Midtown. Go in, take a left and keeeeeeep walking, (like, it’s kind of a long walk haha), until you’ve turned the corner and find the elevator with a sign that says “this way to the Pool Club”. Do not take the elevators you first see when you walk in. Those will not take you to the rooftop. OK, now for the deets on this place. What doesn’t it have? A pool, cabanas, a gorgeous view, brunch, food, fun cocktails… it has EVERY.THING. During the holidays, the inside is so warm and cozy and beautifully decorated! You can also rent a heated cabana, ($500) for you and 8 of your friends.
Now for the menu: choose from parmesan truffle fries, a burger, truffle mac & cheese, among many other delicious things. OMG! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Right now their winter cocktails are so fun: Get a “Snow Bunny” which is Absolut Vanilla Vodka, Hot Cocoa, Nutella, Peppermint, & Toasted Marshmellows, or go with something lighter like the “Breckinridge Babe”: Aviation Gin, Raspberry, Rosemary, Lemon, & Bubbles. Reservations are not required, but I highly recommend, especially at peak times like weekends.
The “Breckenridge Babe” Cocktail
Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
“Midtown Greens” Salad: spring mix, goat cheese, caramelized walnuts, strawberries, w/ balsamic vinaigrette
Bourbon Steak
Bourbon Steak on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott Hotel makes the best date night ever. Sweeping views of the city, delectable food, and hand-crafted cocktails.

Bourbon Steak on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott Hotel makes the best date night ever. Sweeping views of the city, delectable food, and hand-crafted cocktails. Reservations are a must, and if you request a window table in your reservations notes, they might make that happen! I highly recommend the filet mignon and the potato purée. It is unimaginably good. Not to mention the bathroom (or the women’s bathroom at least) which also has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. This is a place where you won’t feel overdressed… put on those heels and that dress you never get to wear!

Acme Feed & Seed
If you want some good food, need some air conditioning, want one of the best rooftop view of downtown, while still having that “Honky Tonk” feel, head to Acme at the end of the strip.
Locals hardly ever go to Broadway, but if we do, we go to Acme. Acme is at the end of the strip and feels a little more classy than the rest of the Honky Tonks (not hating, but I’ve been there done that). If you want some good food, need some air conditioning, want one of the best rooftop views of the strip, while still having that “Honky Tonk” feel, head to Acme. Acme has three levels of fun:
1st Floor
Live music, beer, cocktails, casual cuisine, and a small boutique where you can buy local goods.
2nd Floor
Lounge seating, group spaces, games, photo booth, sushi bar, and cocktails. With a ton of TVs , this place is awesome to watch a game!
3rd Floor
Climb all the way to the 3rd floor (or take the elevator) to get to the rooftop. Here you’ll find incredible views of Nissan Stadium, the river, and downtown. They serve drinks but no food, but you can bring your food up from the first or second floor and eat it up there. They usually have live music.

L.A. Jackson
L.A. Jackson in the Gulch is a fancy rooftop bar at the top of the Thompson Hotel and oh my, it is wonderful.
L.A. Jackson in the Gulch is a fancy rooftop bar at the top of the Thompson Hotel and oh my, it is wonderful. Go through the doors of the Thompson Hotel and find the elevators to the right to access the rooftop. Don’t forget your ID… they care EVERYONE, even grandmas and are 21+ only.
The views of the city are incredible; wear a cute outfit and take some photos! This is a great place to go for a girls’ night out. Order a fancy cocktail and split a double cheeseburger and fries… trust me. Let them know if you’re celebrating a special event like a birthday… they might give you free champagne! Oh, and on the weekends they usually have a DJ playing awesome early 2000’s hits.
