888 is officially open — giving Nashvillians a unique new dining experience that pairs refined Japanese fare with a vinyl record listening lounge.

Here’s why you should be excited, NASH:

🎛️ Superior sound, memorable experience

888 brought in award-winning sound experts Steven Durr Designs, Soundlux Audio, and Devon Turnbull to craft a superior acoustic and sound system that doesn’t skip a beat.

High-grade turntables and vintage Altec Lansing-based speakers (considered the “most musical speakers” ever created) will showcase monthly album spotlights, listening sessions + DJs (see the September lineup).

🍣 The art of Japanese cuisine

Yes, 888 engages all the senses with sight, sound, smell, and taste. Look forward to beautifully plated signature Japanese dishes and a sushi bar led by renowned sushi chef Deden “Benny the Blade” Bandi. Drinks showcase Japanese craft beers, rare whiskeys + curated sake.
