Love & Exile — Nashville, TN

Three drinks. Private room. One hour.
Nashville wide open after.

A welcome cocktail, a live build your whole group watches and tastes together, then you make your own. Private room. One hour. Nashville after.

What You Actually Get

The whole thing,
in plain English

3 Drinks Included

A welcome cocktail when you walk in. A shared tasting as you watch the live build. The cocktail you make yourself. Each one means something.

2 Phases

First, watch a cocktail come together in real time — live, intuitive, no recipe sheet. Then the lineup is yours. Build your own and make it right.

1 Private Room

The Tank Room at Love & Exile is yours for the hour. Not a reserved table in the main bar — a private space your group doesn't have to share.

60 Minutes, Then Nashville

One tight, fast-moving hour. You leave connected, energized, and already into your night — not still figuring out where to begin.

You arrive as a group. You leave as something more connected than that. Turn Loose is the experience that creates that shift — and you'll feel it before the hour is over.

Why Not Just Pick a Bar

You could. Here's what
actually happens.

Winging It

  • You pick a bar. Half the group needs a minute. Someone's still at the hotel. Energy's scattered from the jump.
  • You flag down a bartender. You wait. You decide what to order. You pay. You start over for the next round.
  • Someone's on their phone. Someone wants food. The group never quite syncs up.
  • An hour in, everyone's finally loosened up. That's your first hour of Nashville — gone.

Turn Loose

  • Welcome cocktail already poured. You walk in and you're already going — no slow start, no standing around.
  • Watch a cocktail built live — no lecture, no recipe sheet. Everyone tastes the same drink at the same moment. That shared reference point is what actually syncs the room.
  • Then you build your own. Move, interact, compare with the group. Framework in place, freedom to make it yours. This is the part people talk about after.
  • You leave connected and energized — three drinks in, a story already built, Nashville wide open in front of you.
The Flow

Fast-paced. Two phases.
One hour.

No long intros. No sitting through instruction. The energy begins immediately and keeps moving — here's exactly how the hour unfolds.

Welcome cocktail, immediately.

You walk into the Tank Room and a drink is already in your hand. No long intro, no settling-in period. The room moves quickly from minute one.

Watch it come together.

A cocktail gets built live in front of you. No recipe sheet. No lecture. Just a real-time build that shows you how balance actually works. Then everyone tastes the same drink — same moment, shared reference point. The group locks in.

Then we turn you loose.

Spirits, sweeteners, citrus, finishes — the lineup is in front of you. Build your own cocktail. Move, compare, adjust. There's no single right answer, just a framework that works and the freedom to make it yours.

Walk out different.

The room has shifted. You arrived as a group — you leave connected, energized, and into your night. That's not a metaphor. It's what happens when you go through this together.

What Makes It Work

Built to start nights,
not fill time

Watch It Built Live

No recipe sheet, no lecture. A cocktail comes together in real time in front of your group — just a live build that shows you how balance actually works. Intuitive. Fast. Something to watch.

Everyone Tastes Together

The whole group tries the same drink at the same moment. It sounds simple — but that shared reference point is what actually syncs the room. It's the moment the group becomes a group.

Build Your Own

Spirits, sweeteners, citrus, finishes — a curated lineup and a framework that works. You move, interact, compare with the group, and adjust until it's right. No single answer. Just yours.

The Tank Room

You're not at the bar — you're in the Tank Room. A private space at Love & Exile that's entirely yours for the hour. No other groups, no strangers, nothing competing with your experience.

Fast-Moving by Design

Turn Loose is built to move quickly. The energy starts immediately and doesn't slow down. One hour is exactly long enough — you'll be ready for Nashville before it's over.

Actually Nashville

Built inside one of the city's real venues, run by people who live here. Not a tourism product dressed up as local — the real thing, and a genuinely good way to start a night in this city.

The Room

This is where the night begins

The Tank Room at Love & Exile. Warm, private, stylish. Not a classroom. Not a tour stop. The right room for exactly one hour.

Book Your Hour

Turn Loose is a one-hour social experience at Love & Exile in Nashville — fast-paced, interactive, and designed to get your group moving. You start with a welcome cocktail the moment you walk in. Then you watch a cocktail get built live, everyone tastes it together, and then you build your own from a curated lineup. Three drinks, a private room, one hour, and a group that walks out connected and ready for Nashville.

It's a social hour with a live cocktail build at the center of it. You watch, you taste, then you make your own. It's participatory and fast-moving — something to do together, not sit through. Think of it as the best possible first stop on a Nashville night, not a lesson about cocktails.

One hour. That's the whole point. Tight enough to keep the energy high, short enough to leave you wanting more — which is exactly when you head out into the rest of Nashville.

Three drinks — each one tied to a moment in the hour. Your welcome cocktail when you walk in. The shared tasting drink you try alongside everyone else after watching the live build. And the cocktail you make yourself. Plus the private Tank Room and a host running the whole thing. That's everything. Nothing else to figure out at the door.

That's exactly who it's for. Bachelorette parties, birthday crews, friend groups visiting Nashville, couples, locals showing out-of-towners a real good time — Turn Loose was designed with groups in mind. The bigger the crew, the better it works.

Turn Loose is hosted in the Tank Room at Love & Exile in Nashville, Tennessee. It's a private, stylish room inside one of the city's most distinctive bars — not a chain, not a tourist trap. The real thing.

Absolutely. The main bar at Love & Exile is right there when the hour wraps. Plenty of groups stay for another round before heading out into Nashville. The night is entirely yours from there.
