Father’s Day is right around the corner, and whether you’re planning a laid-back brunch, a steakhouse-worthy dinner, or a gift that goes beyond the usual, Nashville is packed with ways to celebrate. From whiskey tastings and rooftop dinners to cigar launches and live-fire barbecue, consider this your go-to guide for making Dad feel like the super-dad all weekend long.
Aba, which means “father” in Hebrew, is setting the tone for the weekend with specials made for celebrating. Sip the limited-time Patriarch Sour, a rye whiskey cocktail with pomegranate molasses and calamansi, then dive into crowd favorites like Grilled Shrimp Kebab and Crispy Short Rib Hummus. Available during dinner service June 20 and 21.
Bacco is serving up a playful “Dad’s Happy Meal” during dinner service, featuring Smoked Short Rib with Italian salmoriglio and grilled baby leeks, paired with a Capo Dei Capi Manhattan made with Michter’s Straight Rye. Guests can also enjoy fresh crudo, housemade pastas, and locally sourced beef on the Terraza, newly open for the season. Dinner is $75 per person.
Go all out with Bar Mar’s indulgent Father’s Day tasting menu, a $175 experience packed with standout dishes like Jamón Ibérico, Bluefin Tuna and Fried Egg, and a Galician NY Strip Steak. The multi-course spread is thoughtfully curated for a memorable celebration, from seafood-forward starters to a rich chocolate campfire dessert.
