Conservatory Bar

Very nice setting within a cavernous hotel. Excellent service and superior drinks. Price to match. Four drinks for $ 60 with tip.

Elegant, sophisticated, modern, yet understated. That comes to mind when I think of the gorgeous Conservatory Bar inside the newly re-​opened Opryland Hotel.
Some friends wanted to go during the opening weekend and we decided why the hell not? Once your inside the resort, most of your worries disappear, at least mine do. The Conservatory Bar is located in the Garden Atrium next to Solario Mexican restaurant.
We sat at the bar and were quickly greeted by the bartender. We took a few minutes to look over the menu and we finally ordered. Clearly they were very busy, our bartender was working the well and looked slammed.
It took her a couple of extra minutes to make our drinks, but she acknowledged our wait and upgraded our vodka at no charge. I love that kind of service. She made a damn fine martini by the way.
We were offered some of their house made Limoncello. Drinker beware, it was very TOUGH, but had a really bright citrus flavor. It’s definitely meant to be sipped on and not shot like I did.
Prices are a bit more expensive, but that’s given for a hotel/​bar of this caliber. I didn’t pay too much attention to the menu, but did notice they offered wood burning oven pizzas.
I could see myself stumbling out of this bar after a few drinks and making my way back to one of their rooms. Sometimes it’s fun having a staycation and spending your money at home.
