If you're on the hunt for an unforgettable Nashville experience that blends old-world charm with modern luxury, look no further than Red Phone Booth, the Prohibition-era speakeasy concept redefining curated nightlife across the South.  This summer, the acclaimed cocktail lounge hosted a sold-out, multi-city VIP event series led by Hollywood veteran Michael Cudlitz, bringing together fine cigars, impeccable cocktails, and intimate storytelling in a setting unlike any other.

The “Sip, Smoke & Fireside Chat” lounge tour kicked off in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood before winding its way to the stylish streets of Miami’s Brickell district and The Colony in Dallas. With encore dates added in Downtown Atlanta on June 17 and a Nashville finale last evening June 18, the buzz only grew stronger as fans clamored for a seat at one of the season’s most exclusive insider events.

Cudlitz, who is widely recognized for his work in The Walking Dead, Band of Brothers, Southland, and Superman & Lois, took center stage alongside Red Phone Booth Founder Stephen de Haan and cigar icon Jorge Padrón. Guests were treated to hand-picked cigars and an expertly paired cocktail menu crafted from Red Phone Booth’s extensive 400-plus spirit collection, all while Cudlitz shared intimate behind-the-scenes stories from decades in the film and television industry.

“Red Phone Booth quickly became one of my favorite spots while filming The Walking Dead in Atlanta,” said Cudlitz. “So when I had the opportunity to be involved in the Nashville location, I was thrilled. Nashville is an incredible city that I've come to love and Red Phone Booth is such a unique experience with exceptional cocktails and cigars ,all truly world-class. These VIP nights across the country have been a fantastic way to share that experience with others who appreciate the same.”

Each stop on the tour offered an intimate fireside chat setting for members and invited guests before the doors opened to the public for a rare and memorable meet-and-greet opportunity. The result was a one-of-a-kind evening where storytelling met sophistication in an atmosphere dripping with vintage elegance.

Nashville's installment of the tour proved to be the crown jewel. Tucked in the heart of downtown, Red Phone Booth’s Music City location is arguably its most distinctive. Hidden behind a restored antique London phone booth, the venue invites guests into a lush, dimly lit interior steeped in 1920s glamour, complete with plush leather seating, pressed tin ceilings, and a walk-in humidor housing more than 200 premium cigars.

“These evenings weren’t just about meeting a celebrity,” added de Haan. “They were about connection, authenticity, and a shared passion for a truly elevated experience. Michael brought his genuine appreciation for the Red Phone Booth experience to life and made each night unforgettable.”
