A new wine bar called Birdie’s Wine Bar is slated to open in the first quarter of 2026 in Inglewood, Nashville. This establishment will be a part of Lost and Found, a forthcoming hospitality park designed to foster community engagement and support local businesses. Located at 3104 Gallatin Pike, Birdie’s aims to offer an inviting atmosphere for wine enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
The brainchild of certified sommelier Kelly Boutwell, Birdie’s was initially conceived as a retail bottle shop in another part of Nashville. After facing zoning issues, Boutwell shifted her focus to partnering with Lost and Found, transforming her vision into a wine bar. She draws inspiration from the renowned Bacchanal Wine in New Orleans, which is celebrated for its extensive selection of wines.
Boutwell describes Birdie’s as an interactive experience where guests can select bottles from the shelves and access information cards detailing the wines. “There’ll be a great staff that will be curious and excited and enthusiastic about all things,” she stated in an interview with What Now Nashville. “I think it will just be an ongoing conversation about what’s new, what’s exciting.”
Emphasizing her fondness for Italian wines, Boutwell plans to design Birdie’s with elements reminiscent of her travels in Italy. The space will feature a moody ambiance with green walls and white oak shelving, creating a warm and inviting environment. Initially, Birdie’s will offer around 200 varieties of wine, focusing on small producers and unique regions.
Boutwell envisions Birdie’s as a place where patrons can enjoy a bottle of wine outdoors at bistro tables, accompanied by light snacks. “You grab a bottle off the shelf and then you go outside,” she explained. “Those are some places of inspiration for Birdie’s.”
This wine bar will complement other offerings at Lost and Found, including the upcoming Pizza Lolo, as well as two retail concepts and four rotating food trucks. In addition, a craft cocktail bar and pop-up markets are set to enhance the area’s community atmosphere.
Boutwell sees this venture as an opportunity to showcase the uniqueness of various regions and countries through their wines. Her focus on approachability and affordability aims to attract a diverse crowd. “It will be off the beaten path a little bit, but with an aim toward approachability and affordability,” she said.
With the launch of Birdie’s Wine Bar, the Lost and Found project promises to become a vibrant hub in East Nashville, fostering connections among locals and visitors alike while celebrating the rich world of wine.
