The story
Perched on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott Nashville, Bourbon Steak is Michael Mina's take on the classic American steakhouse — refined, confident, and grounded in quality ingredients. The elevation is literal as much as culinary: floor-to-ceiling windows frame a panoramic view of Music City that few dining rooms in Nashville can match.
The menu centers on prime cuts of dry-aged beef alongside fresh, locally-sourced ingredients — a combination that defines the modern American steakhouse at its best. Complementing the food is an extensive selection of fine wines and bourbons, a pairing that feels entirely at home in Tennessee. That wine program earned Bourbon Steak Nashville a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, recognition that speaks to both the depth of the list and the seriousness with which it is curated.
For groups, Bourbon Steak offers three distinct private dining rooms — Rare, Rye, and Reserve — each with its own character and each flanked by those same sweeping skyline windows. Whether for a corporate dinner, a celebration, or a catered event, the spaces are designed to make the occasion feel genuinely special rather than merely functional.
Bourbon Steak Nashville is part of Michael Mina's broader restaurant group, which brings a consistent standard of hospitality and culinary craft across its properties. Here in Nashville, that translates into an American dining experience where the steakhouse tradition is honored without being frozen in time — serious about its beef, serious about its wine, and serious about the view.
