About this venue
Barrel Proof is a cocktail-forward bar in the heart of Nashville, designed for good times and even better memories. Couples love us because we’re not your cookie-cutter ballroom — our space is intimate, versatile, and full of character. We can host everything from rehearsal dinners to full buyouts for your wedding reception. Our venue blends the best of both worlds: craft cocktails and a laid-back vibe. Guests can sip a perfectly stirred Old Fashioned or a local beer while enjoying spaces that feel warm, stylish, and uniquely Nashville. We’ve got a covered patio, a flexible dining room, and a bar that can keep the party going late into the night. Fun fact: our team is made up of hospitality pros who truly love what we do. We’re known for our creative pop-ups, cheeky cocktails, and making every event feel personal. If you want your wedding to feel like you — not a one-size-fits-all package — Barrel Proof is the spot.

Amazing venue for my wedding welcome gathering
We hosted our wedding welcome event at Barrel Proof and couldn’t have been happier. The space felt relaxed but elevated, the covered patio was perfect for mingling, and the cocktails were a huge hit with our guests (we’re still hearing about the Old Fashioneds!). The staff went above and beyond to make everything seamless, from the the catering menu to keeping the vibe fun and stress-free. It felt like a true Nashville experience — cozy, lively, and completely us. We can’t recommend Barrel Proof enough for couples looking for something unique and memorable.

This place was perfect for our wedding after party! The warmly lit bar welcomed us in and the beautifully crafted cocktails kept us going all night. The food, pool table and ample indoor/outdoor seating made it perfect for all of our guests to enjoy the night. We will definitely be back!
