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.
