Toast of the town: Drink Up Week has arrived

This week — Monday, July 22-Friday, July 26, 2024 — we’re shining a spotlight on the vibrant drink scene in Nashville.

Drink Up Week is finally here and we have a feeling it’ll be the toast of the town.

Today through Friday, July 26, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs, mixologists, venues, and beverages that make Nashville go ‘round.

As you know, we’ve created an interactive map of can’t-miss deals offered by local businesses in Music City. Here are the top deals our NASHtoday editors have their eyes on — and what they plan to pair with these drinks.

During the week, City Editor Dylan is off to Hillsboro Village for a pre-movie margarita at Supper Club on Belcourt — the lightly spiced Date Night marg is $10. On Saturday, she’s picking up BOGO classic milk teas at Eat Bubbles before her trip to the Richland Park Farmers Market.

With temps in the mid- to high-80s this week, City Editor Skylar is looking forward to cooling off indoors with a shopping trip at the Mall at Green Hills, followed by Doughbird’s $7 frozen cocktails. Bagelshop’s “Quiet Book Club” event returns Monday, July 22 — the perfect opportunity to try the seasonal Sappily Ever After (iced cinnamon mocha topped with a maple cold foam with flavors reminiscent of a chocolate chip waffle) for $4.

We hope you enjoy sipping your way through our city this week. Cheers to you and happy Drink Up Week, Nashvillians.
