When the weekend rolls around, everyone has that go-to bar or restaurant they can rely on for a good time.

 

 

But the truth of the matter is, countless nights out in the same environment will always gradually lead to uneventful experiences. The good news is there are nightlife innovators like Mike Weinberg who are actively combatting this dilemma.

Through his company, Nightscape, the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) alum set out to elevate and enhance the public’s existing definition of what’s possible at the intersection of tech and entertainment.

Establishing experiences that center around multi-sensory immersion, Nightscape forged a new category of entertainment through events and activations that combine 360-degree projection-mapped environments with spatial audio, custom scent elements, modular furniture, and James Beard-nominated culinary partners.

 

 

After almost four years of putting together thoughts and ideas for the concept of the company, Nightscape launched in 2021. In the push for a more versatile form of nightlife, they partnered with major tech players Epson, Clair Global, disguise, Spatial and 4wall.

April of 2022 marked the Grand Opening of Nightscape’s flagship venue in Nashville, Tennessee. It serves as a showroom for the variety of experiences and creative content that Nightscape can eventually bring to an international scale.

Unlike anything ever seen before in Nashville, Weinberg’s revolutionary tech allows Nightscape to create environments that constantly look, feel, and even smell different with each activation. Whether it’s an immersive sports viewing event on a 350” screen, multi-course dining experience inside a digitally-designed castle, or a nightlife event that takes people throughout a foreign country, guests can always expect a new and exciting experience. There is no such thing as “the same old” experiences at Nightscape.

Adding to the one-of-a-kind experience is their elite cocktail program backed by well versed veteran mixologist Nick Dolan. Previously a member of the team at Nashville’s renowned Fox Bar & Cocktail Club, Dolan is an imaginative genius praised for the innovative drinks he creates and their unique names. He pairs each experience with a different drink menu that complements the theme. While there are a few constants in his arsenal, including his renowned Old Fashioned, guests can always expect exciting new cocktails every time they enter the space.

 

 

The everchanging dynamic of the cocktail offerings at Nightscape is truly groundbreaking. It all purely comes down to the event theme. For high-end Italian inspired multi-course dinner, Nick started guests off with an Amaro aperitif, followed by wine pairings that went perfectly with each course. For Japanese-inspired nightlife concept, Nick curated sake and Japanese whisky tastings that elevate the experience far beyond just your traditional bar offerings.

“Nightscape is not your typical hourly bar; we are designed to break the mold of the same place you’ve been to 100 times. At Nightscape you opt into a constantly evolving calendar and have an opportunity to experience a complete variety of events and experiences.”

Situated in one of Nashville’s most vibrant and trendy neighborhoods, The Gulch, guests are a five-minute walk away from popular hotels, top-tier restaurants and other nightlife hotspots that perfectly complement a night out at Nightscape!
