Acme Feed and Seed occupies a Nashville landmark on Lower Broadway built in 1890, a building that spent more than fifty years as Acme Feed & Hatchery, a local farm supply store known for its Grand Ole Opry appearances, before sitting vacant and reopening in 2014 as a restaurant, live music venue, and event space. The building's history is still visible throughout, from exposed brick walls to reclaimed wood details that give the venue its character. The venue spans multiple floors, each suited to a different kind of gathering. The second floor works well for semi-private cocktail parties, launch events, and networking gatherings, with booths and lounge seating for guests. The rooftop offers views over the city for cocktail hours and casual celebrations. The largest of the spaces, The Hatchery on the third floor, is a 7,000-square-foot, one-level room with an open floor plan and views of the Cumberland River, Nissan Stadium, and Riverfront Park, suited to weddings, receptions, and concerts. Beyond its event spaces, Acme Feed and Seed offers a made-from-scratch dining menu, a selection of local craft beer, a farm store with regional products, and a live performance stage that hosts Acme Radio Live. Multi-floor rentals and full building buyouts are available for larger events.

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.

We would love to host you and your guests at Café Roze! "A few weeks ago, I called and inquired as to whether or not they would be able to host a large party (about 14 people) for a special event... They went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating, and the quality of both the food and the service was exceptional. They contributed to the success of the event by making it so memorable. I always give Cafe Roze my highest recommendation to visitors from out of town in addition to residents. I have gone there more than a dozen times, and I have never been disappointed. I intend to continue going there dozens more times in the future. Unquestionably recommended!" -Kyle M.
