Damage to Geist after the March 3 tornado
For many people, the expression “brick by brick” is just that — an expression, a cliché. But on Jefferson Street, it has been the literal process of rebuilding after the March 3 tornado.
Now Geist Bar + Restaurant, the eatery housed in the historic 1886 property once home to Nashville’s oldest family-owned business, has salvaged all those bricks and put them back together, and is reopening this Friday.
Old sayings aside, the process of reopening after a tornado and during the pandemic was challenging. “After the tornado hit, we spent days salvaging materials because the charm and stories our bricks hold give the building just as much character and integrity as they do structure," says owner Doug Martin. :For a building that’s been around since the late 1800s, we knew Geist just wouldn’t have the same feeling without these critical pieces."
