Bar - Craft & Local in Franklin

Bar in Franklin, Nashville, TN

Bravado brings wine, beer, cocktails, and small plates together around bold Italian flavor. The bar follows the kitchen's standards, with real ingredients and drinks chosen with the food in mind.

Here's what to expect

Wine by the glass from Italian vineyards and beyond
Local and imported beer on tap and by the bottle
Signature cocktails with fresh citrus and real syrups
Bar food made to match your drink

Pull up a seat, gather your crew for drinks, or plan a private party. Italian energy meets mid-century style in a room that feels polished and easy to settle into.

Aperitivo hour, date night, and Friday with friends all have a place here. Fresh-squeezed citrus, house-made syrups, and careful balance carry the cocktails from early evening into the evening. Share some small plates or split a pizza at the bar. Our Italian small plates, pizza, pasta, and cocktail bar is at 1770 Galleria Blvd in Franklin.

Aperitivo hour brings light bites and drinks together before dinner. Take a seat, try a new pour, and give the conversation room.

Wine - Italian

Our wine list leans Italian, with bottles and by-the-glass pours chosen to complement the kitchen. Match a red with rich bolognese, a crisp white with seafood, or a sparkling wine with a toast around the table.

Wood-fired pizza, house-made pasta, small plates, and charcuterie all have a natural partner on the list. Come for date night or stop for a glass after errands in Franklin. Wine is served at the bar or at your table in the Galleria Blvd dining room, wherever you want to settle in.

Ask the bar team for a pairing recommendation. A glass can open the meal, while a bottle gives everyone at the table something to share alongside bold Italian cooking.

Craft & Local Beer

Order a pint at the bar, pair beer with a charred margherita, or bring a round to your group. Sessionable lagers sit alongside bolder IPAs and imported Italian bottles.

Local brews: Nashville and Tennessee craft selections

“I cant believe the transformation of this place vs what it replaced. Bright and lively, and the food is literally to DIE for. That Chef has those taste buds glowing. Pizza was the highlight, but all the food was great.”
