When a restaurant is as common and beloved as Josh Habiger’s Bastion is on this neighborhood, they often don’t need to do a lot to fill the home. That’s why you’ll in all probability by no means see a billboard for Kase x Noko or uncover a Groupon for Locust. (Sure, Groupon does nonetheless exist!)
Whereas I’m not reporting something right here, I do think about that between the insane recognition of Pastis since its current opening and the sheer issue of navigating the large development zone that’s Wedgewood-Houston, Bastion could be seeking to bump up enterprise a bit bit. Or heck, possibly they’re simply desirous to have some enjoyable in the course of the August doldrums.
From bouillabaisse to boeuf Bourguignon, a brand new Wedgewood-Houston spot is bringing bistro buzz to Nashville
Regardless of the cause, they’re planning just a few fascinating occasions and specials through the subsequent month, and I strongly encourage you to contemplate them. Kicking off with tonight, Aug. 6, when Bastion (the restaurant) is popping up for one night time solely inside Bastion (the Massive Bar). It is is your fortunate day, as a result of the food and drinks employees of the acclaimed restaurant will step by way of that sliding door to share their skills with these of us who frequent the bar.
I imply, these nachos are superior, and the glad hour beer offers and cocktails are undoubtedly a worthy draw, however the likelihood to order à la carte because the kitchen workforce riffs on the restaurant menu is fairly particular. Plus, wine director Eric Bowers can be digging into the cellar for some enjoyable pours on the bar.
No reservations are required or accepted for The Massive Bar, so try the menu on Bastion’s Instagram to prepare for a enjoyable night from 5:30 till 8:30, or till they promote out of all the pieces!
In different Bastion information, they not too long ago launched a brand new cocktail menu, and I’d stack it up in opposition to anyplace on the town. (Apart from that damned Malört drink. That’s simply imply, Josh!) Mix that menu with a Monday-through-Friday glad hour from 5 till 7 p.m. and validated parking within the lot at Pillow and Houston streets, and also you undoubtedly must drop by for a go to someday quickly if you happen to don’t make it in tonight.
