It is located on the lower level beneath the Johnny Cash Museum in downtown Nashville and combines gourmet dining with live magic performances.

Services
The restaurant centers its offering on gourmet dining and hand-crafted cocktails, with prime steaks and seafood among its signature items. Promotional descriptions reference “Prime steaks, seafood tower and more,” reflecting a steakhouse-style menu. The venue publishes downloadable menus for food, drinks, and cigars, indicating a dinner menu, a drink menu, and a cigar menu.
Live entertainment is a defining part of the experience. The venue advertises “Live Magic performed by the nation’s leading magicians,” integrating performances into the dining service. Beyond regular dinner service, House of Cards hosts a Sunday brunch that is family-friendly and welcomes all ages, distinguishing it from the 21-and-older policy that applies to evening dining.
The venue’s structure separates its evening fine dining from its Sunday brunch service, allowing it to serve two distinct audiences. Evening guests experience an adults-only steakhouse and cocktail setting paired with magic performances, while the Sunday family brunch opens the venue to guests of all ages. The downloadable food, drink, and cigar menus indicate that the experience extends beyond a standard dinner into after-dinner cigars and a full cocktail program, reinforcing the venue’s positioning as both a restaurant and an evening entertainment destination.
