About

A little moody, a little mischief, a lot of love.

Love’s Alibi is a cocktail-forward neighborhood bar in Nashville’s Gulch. Step into the soft neon glow and vibrant energy where cocktails come quick, conversations linger, and every night feels like it might turn into a story.

We built this place for the ones who know how to have a good time without needing to make a scene. For people who love beautiful things but don’t take themselves too seriously. For anyone who’s ever said, “I shouldn’t have, but… love’s alibi.”

Our cocktails come fast. They’re familiar but different enough to surprise your tastebuds — the kind you crave on a random Tuesday when you don’t want to go home just yet. And just as easy to toast with on a Saturday. Our food is unpretentious but thoughtful, and our team believes that everyone deserves to feel like a regular, even on their first visit.

Created by the crew behind Barrel Proof, Love’s Alibi is the next chapter in what neighborhood bars can be: playful, design-forward, and full of heart. It’s a love letter to bold women, loud laughter, good music, and that perfect in-between hour when the light gets soft and the stories start.

Come in. Sit close. Stay longer than you meant to.
