If you were shocked by the transformation of the old Steak & Pizza into the Paris-in-Tennessee that is Once Upon a Time in France, you are not going to believe what’s in store at Overlord. The soon-to-open 60- to 70-seat neighborhood bar features what is becoming Melvil Arnt’s signature formula: French-inspired food, drink and aesthetics behind nondescript facades.
In 2019, Arnt and his parents opened Once Upon a Time in France, an East Nashville French bistro. Now Arnt is venturing out on a solo project turning a former Hair World (the linchpin of Gallatin Avenue real estate) into a new bar, set to open this summer. The Overlord name is an homage to Operation Overlord (aka the Battle of Normandy) and the soldiers who liberated Europe in World War II.
