Red Phone Booth Set to Open Next Month in Downtown Nashville

After an extensive build-out of the 100+ year old building, Red Phone Booth is opening its 20s speakeasy concept in downtown Nashville on Thursday, December 5th (Repeal Day) at 136 Rosa Parks Blvd. Red Phone Booth is a prohibition experience featuring a turn of the century craft cocktail selection and exclusive cigar program. While the classy establishment will be open to the public, guests will need to secure a secret phone number from a friend, member or concierge and dial it into a restored London antique red phone booth to gain entry. The 5200 square foot upscale cocktail lounge will be open daily and have an extensive selection of sought after spirits including rare bourbon, whiskey, scotch and Japanese whisky selections. Additionally, cigar enthusiasts can enjoy a wide variety of blends in a cleansed and refreshed air atmosphere. In developing the humidor, Red Phone Booth prioritized quality and desirability of the cigars over quantity of any one brand, therefore will continually bring in fresh new inventory.  

“Situated just steps from Broadway, our elegant lounge offers a step back in time for guests in downtown Nashville,” said General Manager Jonathan Hoo. “Red Phone Booth also has exclusive memberships available.” 

Showcasing the 1920s speakeasy theme, the venue features restored original brick and reclaimed tobacco barn wood floors, a honey onyx bar, intimate fireplaces, custom Italian leather couches, and hand-painted ceiling with back lighting. There is a 100% fresh outdoor air system accompanied by five 2,500 cfm air purifiers to ensure little to no smoke in the air. A private room in the back is also available to rent for private events. 

At the Red Phone Booth, it is part of the credo to exceed all guest expectations. Patrons will notice the finest attention to detail that provides for exceptional cocktails including 100% fresh squeezed juices such as blood orange, mango, and cranberry, hand chipped double-reverse pass osmosis ice, garnishes cut to order, a collection of some of the rarest liquors available and over a dozen tinctures, bitters and flavoring agents to help breath new depth. Red Phone Booth is also known for its tasting events where guests not only get to sample through a flight of whiskey, but also engage and learn the spirits’ history from key leaders in the industry. 1920s-inspired small plates and authentic Neapolitan Pizza will be also served. From the comfort of the seating to the training and knowledge of the staff, and the quality of the air, it is all of these things and more that allow for Red Phone Booth to deliver an unparalleled experience for its guests.  

A media preview tour will be held in the evening on Thursday, November 21st.
