Nashville’s Nations neighborhood has a new spot where everything is, well, perfectly fine.

Founded by a team of local hospitality pros, Perfectly Fine is a casual cocktail bar and kitchen operating daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. at 1105 51st Ave. N. The doors officially swing open Tuesday, Jan. 14, so here’s a preview of what to expect:

The food

Chef Jeff Roscoe (5th & Taylor, E3 Chophouse, and Bourbon Steak) crafted a menu featuring plates such as fried truffle mac and cheese sticks with vodka sauce, a shaved ribeye sandwich with whiskey au jus, and a burger made with American and cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, cherry peppers, and sauce.

The drinks

The team said it took a “no frills” approach to its house sips: Gin Drink (gin, orange, Earl Grey, lime, vanilla, oat milk), Stirred Drink (bourbon, Jager, ginger, Angostura, and orange peel), and Vodka Drink (vodka, plum, and soda).

The space

Expect a low-lit interior with oversized booths, vintage furniture sourced by the team, and a free-to-play billiard table. The venue also features a fully enclosed patio and an outdoor yard area.

Perfectly Fine welcomes all ages during the day before becoming a 21+ bar after 7 p.m. Bonus: If you love late-night bites, the kitchen is open until 1:30 a.m.
