The Music City Tippler has been open for several weeks now at the Adelicia high-rise, and it looks to already have quite a following. Restaurant and hospitality veterans Michael Barrett, Tommy Nally and Michael Haber, along with GM David Latimer, have completely transformed the space, and it's a beauty. Running the kitchen is executive chef Abe Tsavalakoglou, serving up American rotisserie-style fare, and the laid back craft cocktail program includes a rotating selection of the city's only cocktails-on-tap.

The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to close, with the full dining menu available 5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Word is weekend brunch is in the works, so check back for updates.
