The Twelve Thirty Club

The Twelve Thirty Club is the newest Sam Fox creation, a multi-faceted, multi-level venue rooted in Nashville’s promise of art and life – connecting people to food, to music, and to each other. A modern take on the classic supper club where dining, entertainment and design collide to make up the show. We invite friends old and new to experience undiscovered acts, household names, DJs or even an impromptu jam session. There are four distinct “concepts” that make up the Twelve Thirty Club with each level offering a more elevated experience ranging from a beverage focused atmosphere in the Honky Tonk and moving into the semi-private environment of the Mezzanine. At the highest level is our Supper Club which is a 500 seat restaurant and lounge designed to create an indelible dining experience. Guests who need a sip of air, and something a little more potent, can find what they are looking for on the rooftop terrace.

Transcendent Architecture
Sam, along with his friends, commissioned award-winning, interior design firm AVRO|KO, New York’s premier architectural tastemakers lauded for design that transcends the expected. AVRO|KO designs are characterized by a unique convergence between the ideals of the past and an off-beat, forward-looking sensibility; the perfect match to realize the vision for this multi-level dining, cocktail and music experience.

A Destination Inspired by the Prohibition Era
The inspiration for The Twelve Thirty Club is rooted in the supper clubs of the 19th-century, when the closing time for pubs and restaurants was 12:30am. These supper clubs were able to stay open later than other restaurants and bars because they were deemed private establishments, becoming dynamic, multi-cultural destinations for music, entertainment and mirth. Often elaborate, these grand Art Deco palaces were where the pampered sons of fortune met the bohemian avant-garde upon a common level to engage in revelry.
