ONE OF OUR FAVORITE NASHVILLE CHEFS PUTS IT BEST…

“Your dish is only as good as its worst ingredient. You take truffles imported from Europe, spices from the Middle East, micro greens grown by your buddy… would you combine all that with a frozen chicken breast? Of course you wouldn’t. So why would you ruin a limited release glass of whiskey or an expensive cocktail with ice that’s going to dilute your drink and make it taste like the Cumberland River?”

    The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club

  • I have had the privileged of working with Bar Alliance in multiple capacities and have always been more than satisfied. My personal favorite aspect of this company is the ease of service. The most important thing to them is making everything for their clients as simple and pain free as possible. It makes running a business much easier knowing that the step involving Bar Alliance is never something we have to worry about. We come up with what we want and we know that it will get done. Highly recommend this group for anything ice, juice, or cocktail associated.

    Matt Ramos - MStreet Entertainment Group

  • First off, the syrups and fresh juices are divine! Let’s get that straight. We’ve also used some custom ice for some of our feature drinks. Where we got the most bang for our book was with Nashville Ice Lab helping us create our Boozy Slushy program. It became everything we expected and more. Now our Boozy Slushies are a pillar of our company model, outselling our other cocktails 4-1. This team is top-notch with the experience to work with and help define any concept.

    Austin Smith - Party Fowl

  • I can’t say enough about how crucial Bar Alliance has been to what we’re doing at Attaboy here in Nashville. We rely so heavily on large format ice for every aspect of our service, we have multiple needs and a consistently growing business. Through every step in our first year and a half, they have maintained exceptional communication, while adapting to our evolving needs, with quality service at every step of the way.
