Play pool, or play in the pool, on the roof! Next to the pool is the rooftop bar with views of downtown. The spot is popular with the city's considerable student population. The atmosphere is easy-going during the day, and the Tennessee sun serves as the ultimate tanning bed as you sip piña coladas. The bar takes on a different vibe in the evenings, with LED lamps and fire pits. The hotel hosts assorted events, so the rooftop bar is always vibrant.
The jewel of Nashville's Gulch area. L.A. Jackson operates on the roof of Thompson Nashville. Great food and even better drinks are just part of the charm that attracts business folks, artsy types, students, and professors as patrons. As far as the drinks menu goes, L.A. Jackson is a certified cocktail laboratory. New drinks are invented every week. Their line-up includes Dismisinformation, Toxic Masculinity, Item 9, and More Life. But the classics aren’t neglected. The lounge is still good for a post-grind beer or the odd double. The whisky options, in particular, are a reminder of the bar's Tennessee roots.
