A note regarding COVID-19: At BizBash, we're still committed to bringing you ideas and inspiration for when (yes, when!) events are back up and running. Some of the venues listed here may not yet be available for hosting events due to the pandemic, or they may be operating at a lower capacity.
White Limozeen
The West End’s Graduate Hotel unveiled its indoor-outdoor rooftop bar and restaurant, White Limozeen this past July. The hotel’s in-house design studio presents a glitz and glam space that honors Music City star Dolly Parton. The space is embellished with extravagant chandeliers, vivid pink walls, vintage textiles, and floor-to-ceiling windows that invite guests outside to bask in the posh daybeds next to the lavish Governors Pool. Hospitality virtuosos Marc Rose and Med Abrous introduce a swanky menu that features Lightning Bug Martini’s and Island Creek Oysters with various other candid cocktails and divine dishes. The whimsical venue can host up to 300 cocktail style and 175 seated; however, the furniture is moveable so numbers are flexible.

Brooklyn Bowl
Germantown recently added Brooklyn Bowl, a state-of-the-art bowling alley and concert venue, to the Music City scene. The unique event space features 19 lanes, four fully stocked bars, a stage, mezzanine, and porch. A famed Blue Ribbon menu has something for everyone with french bread pizzas, handhelds, and tasty finger foods. Hardwood floors with leather Chesterfield sofas, colorful paneled windows, and vintage marquee signs put guests into a new age of rock ’n’ roll. The unique venue can host as many as 1,500 and is available for parties of all sizes—whether it is an intimate black-tie soiree or collaborative corporate event—thanks to its completely customizable floor plans.
