Henley, which opened last year, was named the "most beautifully designed bar" in Tennessee by Architectural Digest magazine.

A Nashville bar was named the "most beautifully designed bar" in Tennessee by Architectural Digest magazine.

Henley, an upscale eatery at 2023 Broadway that opened last year, snagged the title.

"With milk-glass pendant globe lighting above the white Italian-marble bar, the decor swings glam — but the caved ceiling and the 'bedroom eyes' mural at this brasserie’s bar evoke intrigue and keep things casual," AD reported earlier this month in a breakdown of the best-designed bar in each state.

The aesthetic is meant to feel like an old mansion, owners told The Tennessean in July 2017 before the space opened, with a mixture of antique and modern pieces.

Some design features include a wall display of antique mirrors from the 1920s and 1930s.
