Deep within the Gulch, a hidden culinary gem is set to be unveiled this summer, deemed the world’s best sushi restaurant by comedian Joe Rogan. On July 18th, a speakeasy-style sushi experience unlike any other will open its doors, promising an intimate and unforgettable journey for discerning palates.

This innovative concept, aptly named Sushi | Bar, will take over the former Barista Parlor space at 610 Magazine St. Here, guests can expect meticulously crafted nigiri presented in a two-hour, 17-course omakase tasting menu. The freshest seasonal offerings, flown in weekly from Japan, will be the star of the show, artfully prepared by skilled sushi chefs.

Those seeking a perfectly paired beverage can explore a curated sake list, meticulously chosen by an in-house sommelier. This dedication to detail extends to the welcoming atmosphere, designed by Remick Architecture. Drawing inspiration from the building's past life as a 1960s recording studio, the space promises a unique blend of modern elegance and Japanese minimalism.

But Sushi | Bar isn't the only reason to celebrate. Sharing the venue will be Golden Sound, a vibrant new cocktail lounge. Here, beverage enthusiasts can indulge in innovative libations like sub-zero martinis and draft espresso martinis, all crafted with a touch of golden flair. Unlike Sushi | Bar, Golden Sound welcomes walk-ins, making it the perfect spot for a spontaneous night out.

This exciting culinary duo signifies a new chapter for the Gulch. Nashville's ever-evolving food scene is about to get even more vibrant, with Sushi | Bar offering a unique omakase experience that the city has been craving. With its focus on fresh ingredients, impeccable service, and stunning ambiance, this hidden gem is sure to become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Reservations for the exclusive Sushi | Bar experience can be made through Tock, with seatings available Wednesday through Sunday at 5:00 PM, 7:15 PM, and 9:30 PM. The omakase journey begins at $165 per person and includes a complimentary welcome cocktail.
