Alright, Nashville, it’s time to level up. Your weeknight and weekend plans are about to get a serious glow-up, courtesy of The Eighth Room Nashville. We’re not just a cocktail lounge—we’re the cocktail ultra lounge. With new hours, a menu that’s pure indulgence, and now a lineup of live music and events that’ll make you cancel every other plan, we’re officially your new obsession.

Let’s break it down. New hours, killer cocktails, live music, and secret shows—yes, we said secret shows. If you know, you know. And if you don’t, well… you better start following us on Instagram (@the_eighth_room). You’re welcome.

The Eighth Room Nashville | New Hours, New Vibes

First things first: our new hours. We’re giving you more time to sip, snack, and soak up the vibes.

Tuesday-Thursday: 5 PM - 10 PM
Friday-Saturday: 6 PM - 12 AM

And, of course, there’s Golden Hour—your two-hour window to bask in discounted drinks and elevated snacks.

Tuesday-Thursday: 5 PM - 7 PM
Friday-Saturday: 6 PM - 8 PM

It’s the perfect pregame to whatever the night has in store (which, spoiler alert, is probably going to be unforgettable).

Live Music, Lounge Vibes, and Dance Floors That Don’t Quit

You didn’t think we’d stop at just drinks and snacks, did you? Oh no, we’re turning up the volume—literally. Here’s what’s happening every week at The Eighth Room Nashville:

Tuesday & Wednesday Nights (6 PM - 9 PM): The Octavius Gold Lounge Ensemble takes over the stage for our Live Lounge Room Music series. Think smooth, jazzy vibes that pair perfectly with a Minii-Tini in hand.
Thursday Nights: It’s time to turn up for our Ultra Lounge featuring DJ JANEX. Expect cutting-edge beats, a dance floor that doesn’t quit, and a vibe that screams “too cool to care.”
Friday Nights: Welcome to Funk Night Nashville. Funky, groovy, and unapologetically awesome, it’s the perfect way to kick off your weekend.
Saturday Nights: The Hideout Dance Party is where it’s at, with JANEX spinning yacht rock and all the songs you know and love. It’s nostalgic, it’s epic, and it’s exactly what your Saturday night needed.

Oh, and did we mention the secret live shows? Yeah, we’re sprinkling in some of the most epic performances you’ll ever see—but you’ll only know about them if you’re paying attention. Follow us on Instagram (@the_eighth_room) to stay in the loop. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this.

Golden Hour Cocktails That Slay, Snacks That Steal the Show

Of course, no Happy Hour at The Eighth Room is complete without indulging in our new Golden Hour cocktails and snacks. Here’s a refresher on what’s waiting for you at the bar:

The $5 Minii-Tini: Gin or vodka, served freezer-style with your choice of lemon twist, olive, or dirty. It’s chic, it’s classy, and it’s everything you need in a martini.
Hollis Old Fashioned: A bold, elevated twist on the classic, featuring Belle Meade Bourbon and Shanky’s Whip.
The Tequila Daisy: Where tequila meets a citrusy twist and a whole lot of sass in a glass.
The Rose Espresso: Reposado tequila, cold brew, and coffee-infused salt—because you deserve more than a basic espresso martini.
$5 Mini Bubbles: A crisp pour of Mistinguett Brut. It’s sparkling, it’s sassy, and it’s totally Instagram-worthy.

Pair your drinks with snacks like the Popcorn Flight (locally crafted and dangerously addictive), the Southern Spread(pimento cheese perfection), or the Caviar Indulgence(because you’re worth it).

Why The Eighth Room?

Because we’re not just a bar. We’re a vibe. A movement. A place where rock stars (literally) hang out, and every night feels like a scene from your favorite movie. From our historic stage to our cutting-edge sound system, we’ve created a space that’s equal parts nostalgic and next-level.

But the magic doesn’t stop inside. Step out onto our private outdoor covered deck, and you’ll find a lush oasis that feels like a world away from the bustling streets of Nashville. With built-in seating, a private bar, and music that flows as effortlessly as the cocktails, it’s the perfect spot to sip under the stars. Surrounded by lush greenery and curated art, this space is designed for intimate conversations, stolen moments, and unforgettable nights. Whether you’re hosting a private event, lounging with friends, or simply soaking in the vibe, the deck is where sophistication meets serenity.

And let’s not forget the history. Our stage has hosted legends like Garth Brooks, Shinedown, Queen, Blake Shelton, Trisha Yearwood and more. So when you’re here, you’re standing where greatness once stood—and where it continues to thrive.

Here’s the deal: The Eighth Room is more than just a night out—it’s an experience. And if you’re not here, you’re missing out. So cancel your boring plans, grab your crew, and come see what all the hype is about.
