The Bobby Hotel has decked the halls and built a winter wonderland up on the rooftop lounge! You may have seen the images swirling around on Instagram, but none can capture the magic of it all. 

Stepping inside one of their igloos is like stepping inside a snow globe. Cozy up in blankets around an electric “wood burning” stove and enjoy warm winter cocktails while you play board games and snack on fare that will remind you of the best holiday party you ever attended. You could almost swear you’ve landed in a tiny northern ski village, glowing with icy lights that and fire pits, alive with the hustle and bustle of a good time. You can even try your hand at curling!  

Classic Christmas movies play in the background to further set the scene. All the while, you’re surrounded by the Nashville skyline, with the AT&T building just overhead and the river stretching out beyond. 

It’s magical. 

Are you planning your mini winter vacation yet? Here are some things you might want to know:

  • Are reservations required?
    • No. Igloos are first come, first served and communal unless reserved. 
  • Is there a cost to reserve an Igloo?
    • To reserve and guarantee an igloo, a food & beverage minimum is required, starting from $400
  • How do I make a reservation?
  • How many people can an Igloo fit?
    • 8 comfortably, 10 people maximum.
  • Is there a minimum number of people required to book?
    • No. Just the minimum food & beverage spend.
  • What are the rooftop hours of operation?
    • Sunday-Wednesday 4p-10p
    • Thursday-Saturday 4p-11p
  • Where can I find the menu?

Think you may want to extend your stay a bit? Make dinner reservations for Tavern at Bobby, their winter menu utilizes seasonal ingredients and slower cooking techniques for dishes like Duck Confit with artichokes and charred carrots; Braised Rabbit Rigatoni with turnips, golden beets and mushrooms; and Stout Braised Short Ribs with smoked cheddar grits and winter greens. And don’t miss out on their famous Brussels sprouts! If that still just doesn’t seem like enough time, check in for a little stay-cation. Trust us, you won’t be the only one there doing it.
