R/NashvilleThingsToDo got the deets 🫡

My family owns Mels Drive In on 2nd Ave N, and we’re opening something new in the back of the restaurant on May 29th, The bar is called Vinyl Vault, an American hi-fi vinyl cocktail bar.

The concept is inspired by vintage hi-fi listening bars with a speakeasy feel: vinyl DJs, great cocktails, mid-century design, and a focus on music + atmosphere.

We wanted to build a spot that feels intimate, nostalgic, and centered around really good sound and good people.

If that sounds like your thing, we’d love the support. Follow our Instagram for updates and opening info. Hope to see some of you there!

If I tried to post every single thing happening in Music City this weekend, this post would never end 😅

This is just to get you started. Get moving 😎

Also: Eastside Rockin’ Rumble is taking over Eastside Bowl all weekend long if you’re looking for an easy “pull up and stay awhile” kind of vibe.
