Josephine

Nashville


In a neighborhood dotted with barbecue joints, taquerias and burger spots, Josephine's classy menu and aesthetic sets it apart from the rest. Leather-backed booths, white titles and dark wooden tables are a hit with fashionable ladies who brunch. The centerpiece is definitely the bar, where patrons can sip on specialty cocktails or nibble on world-class dishes, such as swordfish or beef cheeks.
