The Woolworth building is a critical piece of our country’s history. Woolworth's on 5th features the lunch counter at which a group of young African Americans began the movement to desegregate Nashville lunch counters. Among the protestors arrested was future US Congressman John Lewis, who protested from the lunch counter at Woolworth. His arrest at Woolworth that day was his very first. Today, the building is a registered historic site as part of the Fifth Avenue Historic District in Nashville for its part in the Civil Rights movement. As a restaurant, the main room gives you a sense of the hugeness of the Woolworth store in it's heyday, where you can sit at several tables or private curved booths, and watch vintage music & dance films. The Southern-based menu is tweaked with modern touches and the historic counter serves amazing boozy milkshakes.

Housed in the former Woolworth department store, and the site of 1960s lunch counter sit-ins, this warm restaurant offers solid southern food, sides, and soda fountain specialities.
