M.L.Rose Craft Beer & Burgers is now open at its new East Nashville location in Inglewood. From craft beer and beverage menu to quality burgers and fresh pub fare, the Inglewood outpost will be the seventh area location for the Nashville-based chain. The new spot is located at 3701 Gallatin Pike.
“I searched for seven years for just the right location on the East side, and it’s been so rewarding to breathe new life into this incredible building,” said Ray. “Gallatin Road is a bustling corridor that’s evolving fast, but the neighborhood around it is very established. Many of our neighbors have told us they are excited for more options, and we’re ready to welcome them into a space where they can relax and be themselves.”
Designed by local architectural firm, Design & Engineering Inc. , the Inglewood location introduces a fresh take on the brand’s signature look and feel, while maintaining the inviting character that M.L.Rose fans know and love. Warm wood accents, open-air seating, and thoughtfully layered interiors create a space that feels, “right at home” in East Nashville’s vibrant food scene.
“From the initial design iterations with the founder, Austin Ray, we knew we wanted to incorporate the iconic shotgun-style bar of the original 8th Avenue location” said Ryan Nicholson, President and Architect at Design and Engineering, Inc. “At the same time, we saw an opportunity to create something special outside—a tucked-away patio that feels like an escape from the busy energy of Gallatin Avenue. The goal was to design a hidden oasis with an eclectic vibe that fits seamlessly into the Inglewood neighborhood.”
The Inglewood location offers an ample bar outfitted with M.L.Rose’s signature 36 taps, more seating than any other location, and a large, covered patio that is dog friendly, all-weather, and outfitted with TVs. Guests will find custom murals and M.L.Rose’s hallmark pop culture décor throughout the space, designed by Inglewood artist and resident, Jeff Stamper. Stamper also conceptualized three outdoor murals with local muralist Bryan Deese, who had some of his early graffiti work behind the building and who painted the new murals for M.L.Rose.
M.L.Rose Inglewood is housed in an existing 12,500-square-foot historic structure built in1940, which was fully renovated for M.L.Rose. Additional retail tenants include: Club Pilates, which recently celebrated its grand opening, as well as Crieve Hall Bagel and Nick the Greek, both opening soon. The renovated space is an expansive shotgun style pub, similar in layout to the original 8th Ave. location founded in 2008, and reflects the history of the original building.
In addition to M.L.Rose, Design and Engineering, Inc. also provided design services for the adjacent Club Pilates, Crieve Hall Bagel, and Nick the Greek, helping bring new life to a full retail corner of Gallatin Pike.
“We worked closely with the A. Ray Hospitality team to create a space that was both functional and true to their brand identity,” said Will Craig, Civil Department Head at Design and Engineering, Inc. “From the building shell to the patio design, every detail was intentional.”
In tandem with the Inglewood opening, M.L.Rose has launched updated food and beverage menus for the summer. The brand’s commitment to a seasonal craft beer menu featuring local and national offerings remains and is joined by an expanded beverage menu full of fresh cocktails and non-alcoholic options, including functional beverages and dirty sodas. With 36 taps and dozens of bottles and cans at each location, the craft beer menu changes seasonally and features an array of local and national craft beers carefully selected by M.L.Rose’s beer council.
