W Nashville’s Not Your Average Brunch at Proof relaunched this summer. The cocktail-forward weekend brunch with 13 stories in the sky offers unparalleled views of the city, unique cocktails, shareable bites and live music from local DJs. Not Your Average Brunch is now available on Saturdays and Sundays from 12-3 p.m. ProofNashville.com
1. The views
What's not to love about a rooftop restaurant in Nashville's Gulch? The indoor/outdoor space features 270-degree panoramic views of downtown.
2. The menu
Choose from seven menu items like the savory avocado toast, loaded tater tots, or the W breakfast burger. Love bacon? Order a quarter pound of it and dip it in chocolate sauce.
3. The cocktails
A bespoke menu of craft cocktails includes popular song title selections like the Lavender Haze (vodka, blueberry, lavender, lemon) or Check Yes or No (blanco tequila, combier, jalapeno, lime). Drinks are served individually or sharable. Try the bottomless Always Flowing Mimosa special for $30.
4. The vibe
The laid back restaurant/bar offers eye-catching art like Reverie, a morphing-light sculpture by Nashville-based Cour Design and iconic photographs from Jim Marshall, known as the "godfather of rock 'n roll photography."
5. The hotel
W Nashville has more than one space for the public to hang out. Comfortable, upholstered couches, brightly patterned pillows and rugs, and modern art adorn the lobby. Head down there after your brunch at Proof and enjoy some people watching at this fun and trendy space.
