Mother's Ruin, the Germantown cocktail bar, is bringing a special drink menu to downtown Franklin for one night only.
Mother's Ruin will take over O'Be Joyful at 328 Main St. on Thursday, Nov. 12, according to Williamson Source. The evening will feature two whiskey cocktails, one shaken and one stirred, a shaken tequila cocktail and the bar's signature dressed Tecate.
O'Be Joyful will serve its full food menu throughout the evening.
The takeover gives Williamson County residents a taste of Mother's Ruin ahead of the bar's planned expansion into Nashville's 12 South neighborhood, Williamson Source reported. The concept started in New York before founders TJ Lynch and Richard Knapp opened a Germantown location in 2019, according to Hoodline. Lynch and Knapp have since expanded the brand to Chicago and Austin.
The planned 12 South outpost would include roughly 4,000 square feet of indoor space and a 2,000-square-foot outdoor patio with a rooftop, according to Hoodline. Nashville Guru lists the second Nashville location as expected to open in late 2026, though permit review and construction were still in progress as of May.
No confirmed opening date has been set for the 12 South location.
