At Night We Met

Momentum is building in Nashville for a revitalized club-culture scene, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the heady days of Graham Central Station and LGBTQ community staple The Connection. Night We Met, which opened in the onetime 12th & Porter building in March, has seemingly come ahead of the curve, building on owner Austin Knight’s experience as an electronic music promoter and right-hand man Brendan Hayes’ eye for detail. The entrance leads directly to a bar, where you can get carefully curated cocktails, and a line of glistening booths for lounging. In rapid staccato bursts, lights illuminate the adjoining room packed with partygoers dancing to whichever niche DJ is on that night; dancers have their own tucked-away mini bar prepped with mid-dance refreshment. It’s an experience Gen Z seems hungry for.
