Get out your spats, beads and favorite flapper gear: the Red Phone Booth speakeasy concept opens in winter 2019 in a century-old building in Nashville. This elegant, 5,200-square-foot cocktail lounge focuses on classic craft cocktails and features an impressive selection of rare bourbons, whiskeys, Scotch and Japanese whiskies. Entry is deliberately exclusive — guests must obtain a secret phone number from a member, a concierge or a friend and dial it using an authentically restored red London phone booth to gain access.
Inside the intimate club, patrons can take part in curated tasting events that showcase flights of spirits alongside thoughtfully prepared small plates. Industry experts lead discussions and tastings, creating an educational yet social atmosphere. Cocktails are crafted by experienced mixologists who rely on freshly squeezed juices such as blood orange, mango and cranberry, and serve drinks over hand-chipped, double reverse-osmosis ice. Each cocktail is finished with cut-to-order garnishes to ensure freshness and presentation.
Shelves within the lounge display a carefully selected collection of rare liquors and mixing ingredients, including more than a dozen tinctures, bitters and flavoring agents. That depth of inventory allows for both faithful renditions of classic recipes and inventive new creations tailored to guests’ preferences.
The Nashville Red Phone Booth will be located at 136 Rosa Parks Blvd., downtown Nashville, offering a refined, secretive retreat for cocktail enthusiasts and anyone seeking a distinctive night out in the city.
