About Us

House of Cards is Nashville’s most unique dining and entertainment experience.

Located underground in a one of a kind 10,000 square foot space, the venue offers an evening for guests unlike any other in the history of the South.

Once guests arrive, they begin a journey via secret tunnel which leads to a magical world that has been characterized as indescribable by anyone who’s visited. From the beautiful hand-crafted bar, to the multimillion dollar collection of art, European antiques and magic-related artifacts, the interior is the result of four years of design, planning and artisanship resulting in a one of a kind ambience not found anywhere else in the world.
