Greenwood

Peninsula’s menu changes every month or so. The bar focuses on gin and tonic. And it feels properly fancy—nice for intimate date nights and special occasions.

This German beer garden in the East Nashville neighborhood quickly became famous for serving some of the best burgers in town, though their brats and sausages are also worth going out of your way for, as they're all ground and made on site. The picnic tables in the back make for a fun communal dinner experience, and the beer list (unsurprisingly) is miles long. Ample greenery and twinkle lights make it an equally enjoyable experience in the evenings.
