Built between 1919 and 1921, it represents Wright's efforts to develop a style of architecture for Southern California. This twist on an old fashioned adds a lot of sugar and fruit flavors, but also has a fourth more whiskey than the traditional version. If you want whiskey and you want to get a fast buzz, this is the drink for you. I mean, it has the restaurant's name on it, so it has to be good.

Inside L.A.’s Ultimate Mid-century Modern Home

The Arch Oboler Gatehouse and Eleanor's Retreat buildings are the only example of desert rubblestone construction, the same style Wright used at Taliesin West in Scottsdale Arizona. The builders sourced materials from the surrounding area to make it feel as if the buildings were an extension of the desert floor thus the "rubblestone" moniker. Walking in, I was pretty surprised at how tame the interior of the restaurant was.

Nashville's Lower Broadway is Getting Its Own Party-Ready Hotel

The rooftop will feature an “all-day and all-night party” with views of Music City and a huge dance floor and stage for people to enjoy into the late hours of the evening. For a more relaxed environment, people can get a cocktail in the basement-level lounge that features a vintage vibe and baby grand piano. The first floor will feature a massive wall that will showcase the latest videos from the band on a loop as well as other country stars and popular sporting events.

The home was built in 1923 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Skyewiay Road in Brentwood Heights, is considered a masterpiece of American design, often compared to Wright's legendary Fallingwater in southwest Pennsylvania. The Storer House found at 8161 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles is known for its drama. Although Wright believed in designing structures that blended seamlessly into their natural surroundings, this 3,000-square-foot house does anything but. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and has been listed as a California Historical Landmark and as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. If you only have a couple of hours to spare and you want to see a Frank Lloyd Wright home, opt for the Hollyhock House where you can take a guided tour.

FGL House features a world-class kitchen that fuses unique Southern style cuisine with California flair. They have bars on each floor that serve local craft beers and deliciously mixed cocktails. It also boasts the largest "Cruise" rooftop Nashville has to offer, dedicated to an all-day and all-night party with stunning views of the Music City skyline. The textile block design homes are examples of Wright's pre-Columbian inspired or early Modernist architecture.

The Storer house is a private residence and not open to the public. The Rodeo Drive shops called Anderton Court are a little-known Wright design and not widely recognized as one of his better works. Multiple modifications obscure the original facade, but you can still see hints of the tower designs he repeated in other structures. Named after original owner Aline Barnsdall's favorite flower, Hollyhock House was just part of a living and arts complex set on 36 acres.

What It's Like to Dine at Florida Georgia Line's New Nashville Restaurant

I'd love to talk about how depressing that is, but that's for another article. There are a lot of cool elements, including the main bar area and the blue guitar chandelier. You shouldn't really be surprised that you're greeted by a goofy giant moose head upon stepping foot inside.

Usonian was a term Wright coined for more modest, middle-American homes. The Storer House was built on a steep hillside in the Hollywood Hills. Dramatic for the era, the house was compared to a Pompeiian villa. It was surrounded by jungle-like lush landscaping which gave the illusion of a hidden Mayan ruin.

It was Wright's first commission in Los Angeles and one of his first open floor plans. All kidding aside, FGL House is worth a visit, even if it's just to walk through and say you've been there. I'm not sure it has the staying power to become a downtown Nashville mainstay, but FGL has proven their fanbase are among the most dedicated. With multiple bars and restaurants backed by country stars popping up this year, FGL House will likely set the pace for a rapidly changing tourist district. The drink menu was overall delicious, but be prepared to spend at least $12 on each cocktail. But hey, you might need it after hearing "Cruise" for the fifth time during your meal.

Others are in an elegant area of Pasadena that any architecture lover will enjoy visiting. Earlier this summer, equally beloved and hated bro-country pair Florida Georgia Line announced they would soon become restaurant owners. FGL House in downtown Nashville hastily opened during the massively popular CMA Music Festival. Naturally, fans flocked to the brand new dining spot, causing lines to form around the block hours before the restaurant and bar opened its doors.

Everything is annoyingly expensive and you're not going to get anything too surprising. I'd align FGL House's food with a nicer sit-down chain restaurant. It's nothing out of this world, but it's a good option if you've spent all day touring the city and just want some delicious carbs. Frank Lloyd Wright's Los Angeles houses are must-see gems in the famous metropolis of Los Angeles.

In 1986, the Freeman House was bequeathed to the USC School of Architecture. After the completion of renovations, the university plans to use it as a residence for distinguished visitors, as well as a setting for seminars and meetings. The Freeman House located at 1962 Glencoe Way in Los Angeles is one of three textile block houses Wright designed in the Hollywood Hills in the 1920s. If you're a tourist or a local looking for good food on or near Lower Broadway, there aren't that many amazing choices.

Overall, the giant pile of Southern nachos were solid, but the pork itself was pretty mediocre. Nashville is a barbecue town, so you've either got to keep it off the menu or go all in. They opted to teeter in the middle, which left me wanting something more. When I sat down at my table on the main floor, I found myself staring into the massive video wall placed behind the stage. Shockingly, FGL House is one of the few places in Music City (or anywhere, really) where you can actually watch an endless stream of country videos.
