Between reader-submitted staples and social media shout-outs, we’ve gathered the names of hundreds of closed Nashville businesses that have everyone singing, “Baby Come Back.”

While we can’t illuminate the “open” neon in 2024, we can reminisce (again) with a more robust roundup.

“The Vodka Triangle” | Years in business vary | It’s hard to mention Sunset Grill — the place to see country stars following the CMA Awards — without also showing love to Faison’s and The Iguana. Collectively, the Hillsboro Village spots were referred to as “The Vodka Triangle,” and the area was a scene for nightlife.

Davis-Kidd Booksellers | 30 years in business | The Green Hills independent bookstore served as the flagship for three other Tennessee locations, hosted author events, and even offered a cafe.

Pangaea | 32 years in business | This locally-owned boutique contributed to Hillsboro Village’s shopping scene by offering “a little bit of everything,” from eclectic home goods and jewelry to clothing and gifts.

The Tin Angel | 25 years in business | The Tin Angel, Cakewalk’s more “casual counterpart,” initially served elevated meat-and-three options before transitioning to a contemporary menu.

The Mad Platter | 27 years in business | Before Nashville became an “it city” and Germantown a hot neighborhood, The Mad Platter set up shop. The restaurant’s changing menus offered fresh ingredients, if not from local farmers, then from herb gardens behind the eatery and the owner’s home.
