THE M.L.ROSE STORY

began in 2008 in the Melrose neighborhood of Nashville. At the time, Melrose was on the verge of a revival – but it was still a neighborhood without a great neighborhood bar. When we opened, our simple goal was to give our neighbors a place to relax and spend time with each other over craft beer and great food. As the city has grown, so have we, our focus remains the same – to be the neighborhood’s favorite place to get out without getting fancy.

FAMILY VALUES

We Treat Everyone Like a Good neighbor

We care for our guests, team, and vendors as if we expect to see them again and again.

Our neighbors are diverse in every way — Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, LGBTQ, rich, poor — no matter who you are, we will find out what you want, and bring it to you the way you want it.

We Practice Respectful Directness

Clear is kind. We engage in open and honest conversations even when it’s uncomfortable.
Web Cheers

We Believe In Balance

We practice self-care and self-improvement at home and at work. Doing great work requires quality time away from work.

We Find A Way

We are passionate and determined about finding solutions, and we go beyond what’s expected of us.

We Are Agile

We embrace change if it enhances the lives of our team and guests.

Details Matter

Perception is reality. In order to meet the expectations we set, quality is measured in details.

We’re Genuine, We Don’t Hold Back, We Have Fun!

We celebrate ourselves and each other. Our experiences and personalities set us apart.

MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR, AUSTIN!

Nashville native Austin Ray opened the first M.L.Rose Craft Beer & Burgers (then Melrose Neighborhood Pub) on December 9, 2008, resulting in a neighborhood watering hole. This ‘third place’ – a comfortable spot to unwind & socialize outside of the home & office – now has four neighborhood locations in the Nashville area

 

The decision to open M.L.Rose came about because I wanted a place to hang out with my friends in the neighborhood where I lived, and I learned that I wasn’t alone in that desire,” said Ray. “Back in 2008, the Melrose neighborhood of Nashville was on the verge of transformation and in need of a great neighborhood bar. M.L.Rose from day one has been a friendly, comfortable place for friends and neighbors to get out without getting fancy. We’ve grown along with the city, and now offer four neighborhood locations where we share our love of good beer and burgers with guests.
