Golden Pony - Vintage Cocktail Lounge

Architectural photography for a large civic + faith project in Hendersonville, TN.

Client: Visioneering Studios

Golden Pony is a vintage-inspired cocktail lounge in East Nashville’s Highland Heights neighborhood, designed by CDP Architecture. The space channels a 1960s aesthetic with plush red velvet booths, warm wood tones, curated vintage decor, and soft golden lighting. The garage-style bar window seamlessly connects the indoor and outdoor areas, while textured geometric tilework and handcrafted shelving add to the lounge’s retro-modern appeal.
