Nashville’s Gulch area will soon be home to a new live music venue, Anthem, which will be located at 125 12th Ave. N., across from 12th & Porter. The space was formerly home to night club Mai. Anthem is scheduled for a soft opening on New Year’s Eve.
The venue will include space for entertaining 1,000 attendees, as well as a 400-capacity VIP room that will overlook the main floor. Anthem also boasts a 3,000-square-foot staging/green room for artists and their entourages and a full kitchen headed by Chef Chad Combs, who previously oversaw the menu at Whiskey Kitchen, Lime and Radius10.
“The architectural renderings have gone through several evolutions as we explored all the opportunities to maximize the space while still making it feel cozy,” Austin Ratliff of The Status Group (who co-owns Anthem with London Parfitt) said via a release. “And now that we are under construction, I can’t wait to see the final results of our efforts.” Ratliff and Parfitt have previously worked with Nashville-area restaurants including Virago, Whiskey Kitchen and Tavern.
