Carousel Club Coming to Nashville: New Private Club Will Combine Family Entertainment, Dining and Childcare
A massive new members-only private club is coming to Nashville, and it's designed to give parents and children something they don't often find in the same place: entertainment, dining, relaxation and quality family time.
Carousel Club, a new concept from Nashville entrepreneurs Andrew and Molly Sohr, is planned for an 86,000-square-foot, two-story building at 3040 Sidco Drive in Berry Hill.
The husband-and-wife team, who are raising three children, came up with the idea after recognizing a common challenge for families. Places designed for children don't always offer much for adults, while many restaurants and entertainment destinations geared toward adults aren't particularly welcoming to kids.
Carousel Club aims to bring those experiences together under one roof.
A Private Club Designed for the Entire Family
Unlike traditional country clubs or members-only social clubs, Carousel Club will focus on creating an environment where parents and children of different ages can enjoy themselves.
The concept is designed to serve as a one-stop destination for families, combining opportunities for socializing, dining, recreation and childcare.
The Sohrs have spent approximately three years developing the idea, with the goal of creating a place where families can spend meaningful time together without sacrificing the experiences adults enjoy.
The club will also emphasize community, giving families opportunities to meet new people, build relationships and connect with other Nashville parents.
Strategic Hospitality Partners on Food and Beverage
Carousel Club is partnering with Strategic Hospitality, the Nashville-based hospitality group led by brothers Benjamin and Max Goldberg.
The company will help develop and operate the club's food and beverage offerings.
Strategic Hospitality has been involved in the concept since its early planning stages, contributing to more than just the dining experience.
The partnership is expected to play an important role in creating a hospitality-focused environment that appeals to both adults and families.
Memberships Will Include Childcare
Carousel Club will operate as a private, members-only destination with a limited number of memberships available.
The membership structure is designed to prevent overcrowding and ensure families can comfortably enjoy the club's amenities.
Membership details include:
- An initial membership fee followed by monthly dues
- A one-year membership commitment
- Childcare included with membership
- Membership pricing based on the number of adults and children, along with children's ages
- An interview process for prospective members
- Free parking for members
- Access seven days a week
Specific membership pricing has not been publicly announced, although the club plans to provide that information upon request.
One of the priorities behind the concept is making sure members can consistently access the club's amenities without dealing with excessive crowds, long waits or difficulty finding space for their families.
Why Berry Hill?
The club's future home at 3040 Sidco Drive offers approximately 86,000 square feet across two floors.
Finding a property large enough to accommodate the concept was a major factor in selecting the location.
The Berry Hill property also provides the parking capacity and setting the founders were looking for.
With its location just south of downtown Nashville, the club could become a new destination for families throughout the surrounding area.
When Will Carousel Club Open?
Construction has not yet started on the property.
Renovations are expected to begin in early 2027, pending final permit approvals. An official opening date has not been announced.
The Sohrs have secured a multiyear lease for the property and are moving forward with plans to transform the building into the new private club.
Nashville Could Be Just the Beginning
While Carousel Club's first location is planned for Nashville, its founders have bigger ambitions.
The Sohrs have indicated that they eventually hope to expand the concept into additional markets across the United States.
Their vision goes beyond creating another entertainment destination. They want Carousel Club to become a place where families can build friendships, celebrate milestones and enjoy a stronger sense of community.
For Nashville parents looking for a place where children can have fun while adults enjoy dining, socializing and relaxation, Carousel Club could introduce an entirely new kind of family experience.
