When Alex Burch, sommelier and former wine director, told people he wanted to open up a wine-focused restaurant they said it was a “bad idea.” Rather than turn away from the project, he named the project after this negative feedback. In East Nashville, Bad Idea is a new restaurant and wine bar located in a former Presbyterian Church at 1910 Russell Street. Local architecture firm EOA Architects teamed up with Design Object to insert a modern, eclectic space, reflective of the bar’s funky wine list, within the historic structure.
