About Us

At 404 Kitchen and Gertie’s Whiskey Bar, the craft begins with curation. Acclaimed chef Matt Bolus hand selects the highest quality ingredients, suppliers, farms, and distillers, with an emphasis on sustainability and seasonality. 

These ingredients come together to create an experience that feels right at home in the vibrant energy of The Gulch. The fresh and local menu draws inspiration from time-honored Southern American cooking, as well as modern European culinary techniques, to create new interpretations of beloved classics that are at once comforting and exciting. 

The modern and inviting space encourages guests to settle in, savor and share in the unique flavors before them, whether they’re gathered inside the candle-lit dining room, or overlooking the lights of Nashville on the buzzing seasonal terrace. 

Downstairs, Gertie’s Whiskey Bar offers the largest and most impressive selection of limited-edition whiskeys and bourbon in the Southeast, as well as rare wines, craft beers, and signature cocktails. The convivial curved bar is an ideal place to meet with friends over pours of hand-selected whiskey from small local purveyors and legendary distillers alike.
