Bar Ena opens a cocktail bar in Nashville

Bar Ena has opened in Nashville's Chestnut Hill neighborhood, at 305 Mildred Shute Avenue. The bar comes from Shivani and Alexandros Darsinos, the couple behind Cafe Babu and Leo Vas.

In her own introduction post, Shivani says the bar started as a dream and really took form when the couple came across beautiful old doors from India that they fell in love with. The room takes inspiration from those doors and from the couple's Indian and Greek roots, down to the spices in the cocktails.

Ena is named after her family's village in Gujarat, India, which she says makes this one especially personal. Her goal was a place that feels like having friends over: good drinks, good music, lots of laughs, and no one in a rush to leave.
