Maxwell's Lounge

Because the Maxwell House Hotel was the original retailer for Jack Daniel's Whiskey, the bar leans naturally into pours and craft cocktails. The room finds its pulse around the stage, particularly during Songwriters' Contests every Thursday and Friday night, when local talent showcases original music. The kitchen rounds things out with classic Southern dishes, though visitor opinions on the food vary. It may not feel as fancy as other spots in town, but friendly service and regular live sets keep it from feeling like a confined hotel stopover.
