Handcrafted Cocktails with Local Soul

Every craft cocktail at The Treehouse tells a story rooted in Nashville tradition. Our mixologists work exclusively with locally-sourced ingredients, partnering with Tennessee distilleries and regional farms to create drinks that capture the essence of Middle Tennessee. From our signature bourbon selections featuring local distilleries to fresh herbs grown in nearby Cheatham County, each sip connects you to our local community.

Our whiskey and bourbon bar Nashville selection showcases the best of Tennessee's distilling heritage, featuring rare pours and classics that honor our state's contribution to American whiskey culture. Whether you're a bourbon connoisseur or new to Tennessee whiskey, our knowledgeable bartenders guide you through tastings that educate and inspire.

Happy Hour That Defines East Nashville

Our happy hour known locally as 'Community Hour' in East Nashville attracts everyone from music industry professionals unwinding after studio sessions to neighborhood regulars who've made The Treehouse Restaurant in Nashville their second home. Running Monday through Friday from 4-6 PM, we offer specially-priced craft cocktails and small plates that make premium drinking accessible to our community.

The atmosphere during happy hour perfectly captures that traditional-meets-whimsical spirit we're known for. You might find yourself sharing a handcrafted wooden table with songwriters sketching lyrics or local artists discussing their latest projects – it's the kind of authentic Nashville networking that happens naturally here.

Cocktail Menu

Our cocktail menu holds a rotating cast of signature cocktails, classic favorites, and seasonal specials that refuse to sit still. Each drink comes with a clear description - no guessing games - so you know exactly what flavors and ingredients are headed your way.

Browse our cocktail menu to find spritzes, stirred drinks, and refreshing shaken options.

Drink Style	What to Expect
Spritzes	Light, bubbly, and perfect for warm days
Stirred Cocktails	Smooth, strong, and spirit-forward
Shaken Cocktails	Bright, refreshing, and full of flavor
Classics	Timeless recipes made with care

We organize drinks by style so you can zero in on what fits your mood without overthinking it. And because the menu changes with the seasons, coming back means discovering new favorites - not just reordering the same thing. Our bartenders are always happy to tweak a drink to your liking or steer you toward something based on what you already love. We also carry wine and beer for folks who want a simpler, no-fuss pour.

Specialty Spritz & Seasonal Cocktails

These drinks spotlight whatever tastes best right now - sun-warmed berries in summer, crisp apple in fall, bright citrus cutting through winter's gray. Spritzes were practically designed for slow sipping on the patio, especially during those stretched-out Nashville evenings when the sky won't quit and you don't want the night to end.

Our specialty spritz & seasonal cocktails change every few months so there's always something fresh waiting for you.

We draw ideas from Tennessee farms and local food makers whenever the opportunity presents itself. Expect bright, fizzy flavors that feel like a celebration without tipping into cloying sweetness. Seasonal cocktails might feature house-made shrubs, spirits we've infused ourselves over weeks, or herbs you wouldn't think to put in a glass - until you taste them together.

Pro tip: Ask your server what's new this season - our whole staff tastes everything before it goes on the menu, so they really know what they're talking about.

Cocktail Bar Seating

       

Our bar seating puts you front-row to watch cocktails come together, all wrapped in a warm, wooden setting that somehow feels like somebody's favorite room in their house. No reservation needed - seating is first-come, first-served, so walking in on a whim is half the point.

       

Settle into bar seating and enjoy our full dinner menu plus special bar-only bites.

• Great conversation - our bartenders love to chat, riff on flavor preferences, and help you land on the perfect drink
• Perfect for anyone - whether it's a low-key date, a solo meal with a book, or catching up with a friend you haven't seen in months
• Full menu access - bar guests get the same chef-made food as the dining room, not some stripped-down "bar food" afterthought
• Amazing views - watch the open kitchen firing on all cylinders, admire the vintage wood details, and peek at Five Points street life drifting past the windows

There's something irreplaceable about claiming a barstool, watching a skilled bartender work with quiet focus, and letting the evening unspool at its own pace. That's the Treehouse way.
