Gallatin Avenue’s many car washes — both abandoned and functional — are part of what makes the East Nashville thoroughfare distinctive. Developer Tyler Cauble disrupted it all when he transformed one into a collection of five restaurants and one bar, each in a former bay of the car wash at Gallatin and McKennie. The common patio space — for sharing tacos, pho, poke, Peruvian and Cuban dishes and cocktails — created an instant neighborhood gathering place, and allowed restaurants to open with just 380 square feet of space. That’s urban density at its finest.
