Located less than one hour from Lebanon spans a new hot spot gathering international attention.

Inspired by Keith Weaver, co-founder of Uncle Nearest, Humble Baron is a destination for visitors and locals alike. To bring the concept to life, Weaver tapped critically acclaimed Chef G. Garvin and the team behind renowned cocktail bar Death & Co. to curate a menu of sophisticated yet familiar dishes and signature cocktails, with offerings including their signature Nashville Hot Shrimp & Grits and the "Queen's Gambit" cocktail which puts black-owned spirits front and center, featuring Sorel Liqueur, Hella Cocktail Co. Apple Blossom Bitters, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, pineapple gomme, and lemon juice.
