  • Three distinct cocktails and a blue menu sit on a white table. One is a martini with chocolate shavings, another a coupe glass with a dried orange, and the third a rocks glass with lemon slices. Text: The Drawing ROOM.
  • Wine bottles chill in a metal bucket, blurred in the foreground, against a white wall displaying a gold floral logo and "THE TENNESSEAN".
  • A woman smiles while riding a white bicycle on a street beside a white building reading "THE TENNESSEAN". Far right: "usbank".
  • A server in a grey suit and purple bow tie holds a "LABARRAUD" sparkling wine bottle from an ice bucket. A name tag reads "ED". Bright background.
  • CafĂ© menu board with black letters on brass rails lists coffee (Drip Coffee 12oz 16oz, Espresso 4 5) and tea. It's above a pastry display case.
  • A cocktail in a glass smoking box is being opened by a person wearing a dark vest, releasing thick smoke across a white counter.
  • A coupe glass with an amber cocktail and a spherical ice cube is stirred by a twisted bar spoon. It rests on a speckled counter, with a blurred bartender in the background.
