This is the hotel of the famed coffee. It burned in 1961, which means the lounge was either minty fresh when it burned, or it predated the Mahi Mahi and other locations, like the Omni Hut that opened in 1960. Jim Walls, the owner of the Omni Hut knew nothing about the place and the only thing I have ever come across is a matchbook. Perhaps one day I will be able to get to the Nashville library and do some research to find out more. In the meantime, anyone with more info, please share!
