The Diskin Cider’s immersive architecture was designed with the intention of evoking an old English tradition in which friends and family would get together to drink cider in their neighbors' barns while looking up at the night sky. This was accomplished by including wooden planks in the ceiling and hanging pendant lights as part of the Cider's design. We put a lot of thought into the layout of the venue so that each guest could see themselves living there. Your participation in the experience is something that we are looking forward to very much. The Diskin Cider is available for rental on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis for a broad variety of special events, such as business meetings, charity events, dinner rehearsals, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, product launches, and many more. In addition, the venue is able to accommodate for events such as birthdays, showers, anniversaries, record launches, and bachelor and bachelorette parties, amongst others. The Diskin Cider provides a number of unique settings to choose from. Our immersive cellar is the perfect location for creating a one-of-a-kind experience for your visitors, and our versatile area is bright, open, and entirely adjustable to any kind of set-up. The cidery has a total capacity of up to 500 people, including when we make use of our outdoor patio that has 200 seats. At Diskin Cider, we are all about the experience we create for our guests. We want to create an unforgettable time at our venue that your guests will be talking about for years to come.

Come to The Optimist Nashville to host your next gathering or celebration; our light-filled, semi-private dining room is perfect for hosting business events, wedding receptions, baby showers, and parties. If you want to organize a wedding or any private event at The Optimist, it is possible for the entire venue to be closed off just for you. On Adams Street, there hasn't been a high tide since 1902, when a severe storm dumped a giant bucket's worth of seawater inside the TD&W Handle Company. Since then, there hasn't been a high tide. The structure currently offers guests the luxury and delight of modern housing while retaining the appeal of its rich past. The freshest seafood the sea has to offer, in addition to spacious dining rooms, a breezy terrace paradise, an elegant upper bar, and other amenities such as these. We often find ourselves daydreaming about long-lost friends and exciting new adventures in which the sun brings joy and the rain showers blessings. The menu at this restaurant, which is located in the Germantown Hammer Mill complex and features plenty of indoor and outdoor dining as well as a breezy bar above, is always evolving; nonetheless, an extravagant seafood tower and oysters are always a terrific place to begin. EATER Nashville has compiled a list of the top 20 restaurants in the city to visit for a meal on a Monday, and The Optimist is one of them. We hope you choose our restaurant to enjoy your time whether you are just gathering with some friends or celebrating something special.

The Stables at Husk is a private dining and events area that is housed in our historic carriage house. This venue provides guests with the opportunity to participate in a unique and exclusive Husk experience. The Stables is a cozy ambiance that is perfect for any event because it has its own kitchen, bathroom, and patio that is separate from the main restaurant. The room is large enough to accommodate up to 16 guests for brunch service, 28 guests for a meal served at tables, or 30 to 35 guests for a cocktail party that is standing only. For parties with a size that exceeds the capacity of our private dining area, we are able to provide a buyout of the entire restaurant, including the main house. The Neighborhood Dining Group's Husk restaurant is changing people's conceptions of what it means to cook and dine in Nashville. In the heart of Downtown Nashville, in the neighborhood of Rutledge Hill, and only a few blocks south of Historic Broadway, is where you'll find it. The menu at Husk delves into a cuisine that is driven by the ingredients and begins with the rediscovery of heirloom items. At Husk, there are limitations placed on the types of foods that can be served on the plate. If it does not come from the south, it will not be able to enter the building. The end result is a cuisine that, rather than attempting to rediscover Southern cookery, investigates the authenticity of Southern food. The seed-saving, heirloom husbandry, in-house pickling, and charcuterie programs that Executive Chef Ben Norton and his culinary crew conduct at Husk are the foundation of the restaurant's cuisine.
