Bar East, East Nashville’s newest cocktail bar and restaurant, is now open at 970 Woodland Street.
The sophisticated cocktail bar and restaurant boasts global eats and elevated libations in the 3,350-square-foot space.
Beverage director Ashland Ghaffari is the mixologist behind the creation of Bar East’s over-the-top signature cocktails. The menu includes highball features that pair Japanese whiskeys with craft sodas, as well as signature cocktails. Owner Nina Singto (who is also the owner and chef of Thai Esane), has designed Bar East’s food menu to showcase international flavors, including many offerings inspired by the Far East region of Asia. Guests can expect Singto’s irresistible drunken noodles and pad Thai with new Asian-fusion inspired dishes.
Powell was the architect behind the design of the space, bringing a sophisticated look to the restaurant. Twenty-two iridescent panels hang from above the ten-seat bar, with additional seating throughout the restaurant designed for larger groups to enjoy in large community style tables and curved turquoise leather banquettes. Beyond Bar East’s vibey interiors, guests can enjoy its forty-seat heated patio with plans to open its rooftop level in Spring 2023.
