Cumberland Bar — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

Raj is a great bartender, super chill, reasonably quick (I wasn't in a hurry and he was pretty quick despite my laissez-faire schedule), cares about the customers.

Only reason 4 and not 5 is the price. Get competitive, drop just a few dollars! Raj almost brought this to a 5 with his service alone.

I had the Don cocktail, very good flavor combination. Throw it on pebble and it's tiki. Rosemary was quite nice. It didn't list the glassware, so I was expecting an up riff on an up LW, but highball on ice which was just fine.

The free nut platter was pleasant and unexpected. The almond preparation(?) were absolutely awesome, phenomenal absolutely delicious. The corn nuts were okay, like elevated Kentucky. (I don't like corn nuts, just a personal preference, but I ate them all, which says something) The candied pecans were okay but not so good.

Drink wise, I just had pineapple 🍍 juice, so can't comment on cocktails etc. I did have some Gelato which was great and smooth.

Would I eat at Cumberland bar again, absolutely. It is a little pricey, which is expected with an in...

Got late dinner and drinks with the wife. I ordered a Manhattan and she got a Aperol Spritz. Both delish. We ordered food and it was out hot and fresh in less than ten minutes. BEST chicken I had in a MINUTE. You can get it battered normal or Nashville hot. It's not actual genuine hot chicken, its just a sauce, so I got it traditional battered with the sauce on the side. So crisp, so fresh. The sauce on it was bomb as well, some light pink sauce similar to 1000 Island. Fries were dope as well. Her mac and cheese was great. Will...
