Drink up! Michael Cudlitz to open a speakeasy in Nashville
By Renee Hansen
It looks like Michael Cudlitz is the next Walking Dead cast member to venture out into non-film related business ventures.
Micheal Cudlitz, who is known for his work in The Walking Dead and Band of Brothers, to mention just a few of his projects, is the next member of The Walking Dead cast to venture out into a non-film related business venture. He posted on his Instagram in April of 2019 that a second location of the Red Phone Booth would be coming to Nashville. Upon further inspection I discovered the first location is in Atlanta and this is no regular cigar bar.
The Red Phone Booth is a Prohibition Experience, according to their website. This speakeasy atmosphere is only accessed by entering a antique red phone booth, like those typically found in London, and then entering the number that only members have access to. You can gain access if a member is willing to share their number with you. However, it is cautioned that members only give the number to people they would trust to house sit. They serve up classic prohibition type cocktails and also have a selection of cigars.
The experience is arranged to exceed guests expectations. With attention to such details as hand chipped ice, fresh squeezed juices, as well as a selection of rare liquors.
The memberships range from corporate to premium locker, and premium associate. The top two levels of membership come with a one year rental of a humidified cigar locker.
And don’t think you can just show up in casual wear. The dress code is very specific stating that men can not wear hats, or athletic gear. And, ladies don’t wear wear your distressed clothing or athletic gear either. “Appropriate, tasteful attire must be worn at all times” what the website states for the dress code rules.
Norman Reedus showed his support by shared a tweet about the grand opening of the Nashville location which will be held on December 5th. Which is very fitting since it is National Repeal Day, the day we celebrate the repeal of prohibition.
The Red Phone Booth Nashville Instagram shared this photo with the caption: You never know who you may see here.
Looks like the Red Phone Booth will be an amazing experience for all who are lucky enough to live near one to sample all that it has to offer. I personally love the dress code and the idea of the classic cocktails for a very fun night out. And, I also love second hand cigar smoke, I am not joking!
