Event Nights at Grandpa Bar

Singer-songwriters Grace Day and Brooks West

The Saturday after Valentine’s Day, my wife and I went to Grandpa Bar at Apex Marathon Village for a perfectly balanced variety show: first, singer-songwriters Grace Day and Brooks West entertained the crowd with tunes ranging from the poignant to the quirky and irreverent; then, a lineup of a half dozen hilarious standup comics all killed. Have you ever been someplace and as soon as you stepped inside, you felt as if you’d completely left the outside world behind and were now Someplace Special? The theme was “Cupid’s Variety Show.” The lighting, the music, the tables, the just-right buzz of conversation—those delicious cocktails and mocktails . . . It was, indeed, a night to remember.

Please follow Grandpa Bar on Instagram for upcoming event nights. This is a great date or night-out-with-friends spot in a Nashville neighborhood that’s really going to be taking off during the next couple years. Lee Ann James and I are excited for our client, Grandpa Bar Owner Mike Rosenthal, and for Marathon Village, which now gets to claim this gem of a place as its own.
