The Patterson House

Located on the fifth floor of The Bill Voorhees Building in Nashville’s stylish Gulch neighbourhood, The Patterson House brings cocktail artistry to a new level while retaining the intimate charm that made it legendary. Since its original opening in 2009, The Patterson House has helped shape Nashville’s cocktail culture — and its relocation to this elevated space marks a new chapter. Inside, you’ll find rich wood finishes, soft lighting, and a comfortable yet elevated ambiance that invites you to linger over drinks rather than rush in and out. What sets it apart: A legendary cocktail menu boasting over 1,200 different drinks across a “Long Menu” of 150 rotating classics and a “Short Menu” of modern originals. Meticulous craftsmanship: fresh-squeezed juices, house-made syrups, eight variations of twice-filtered ice — every element is tuned for the optimal drinking experience. A refined but relaxed food offering: small plates and shareables from the kitchen of Chef Matt Atkinson bring the bar world and culinary world together. First-come, first-served seating for most, with limited reservations for groups; walk-ins are treated with the same hospitality. If you’re looking for a special-evening setting — whether a date night, a celebration, or just a memorable drink in Nashville — The Patterson House offers depth, finesse and a sense of occasion without being stuffy. Because of its elevated offering, dress code tends toward smart casual, and expect that the crowd values quality over chaos.
