AVA Rooftop Bar, the latest phase of the multi-level Nashville Live! dining and entertainment experience, is now open.
The new rooftop venue offers an elevated indoor and outdoor experience with sweeping views of Nissan Stadium, the Cumberland River, and Downtown Nashville. Lined with lush greenery, expansive lounge-style seating, and a dazzling twenty-five-foot tree at its centerpiece, the Mediterranean-inspired space offers a rooftop escape with lively daytime programming leading into a vibrant nightlife.
“We knew that creating a vibrant rooftop experience had to be a vital part of our plans for Nashville Live!,” says Erik Storms, director of operations for Nashville Live!. “We’re thrilled to be debuting AVA Rooftop Bar next week–the first riverfront rooftop bar to open since 2019–and are certain it will become Nashville’s new go-to hot spot.”
AVA’s chef-driven Mediterranean-inspired small plate menu is designed for sharing. Made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, the menu includes items like a mezze platter with artisanal cured meats, cheeses, olives, dips and vegetables, dips including hummus and baba ganoush, marinated olives, cucumber salad, cauliflower tabbouleh, and grilled lemon chicken, spiced lamb, and grilled shrimp skewers. The bar menu features bubbles, cocktails, and wine, highlighted by rosé and Champagne, spritz, sangria, mojito, and Negroni selections, as well as a selection of domestic and import draft and canned beer.
Spanning across five levels, Nashville Live! features a different concept on each floor. Lower levels including DraftKings Sports & Social, the PBR Cowboy Bar, and The Gallery are already open to the public. Following the opening of AVA Rooftop Bar, the venue will begin planning the final concept called The Possum, which is a speakeasy-style bar.
