Hail - Dark Aesthetics

"AMAZING SELECTION i absolutely love this place, a great alternative shopping place. it’s a bit expensive at times but so worth it. the worker was also amazing."

"Hail is hands-down the most unique shop in all of Nashville! When it comes to unique gifts, oddities for your collection, or old medical supplies to serve as conversation starters; Hail has it all! The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and VERY knowledgeable about everything they have for sale. I recommend that everyone should visit the shop at least once! I guarantee that you'll find something that strikes your interests here!"

"The concept of this place is cool but they’re scamming you. A gator skull cracked in pieces with half its teeth missing shouldn’t cost $500. All the small skulls and wets are priced at a 150-200% increase. Some of them aren’t even stored properly and you can tell because the isopropyl alcohol has dissipated leaving the specimen in contact with air. I’ve been preserving wet and dry specimens forever and can tell you that no normal shop would charge what they charge. They’re selling fake crystal quartz trees for $10 when you can buy the SAME exact one for $5 at five below (seriously go look and compare, it’s the same packaging!) Whoever owns this store is either buying other people’s work and selling it for triple the price or price gouging on their own work. I was gonna go into their museum since it’s only $5 but after seeing the insane rip off prices I was afraid I was going to get ripped off for that as well. Shop at your own risk here."

"Travelled from Indianapolis and definitely had to make sure we stopped here… it was absolutely worth the stop! We love oddities and all things strange and dark. We had a wonderful time in there and intend to come back the next time we are in Nashville to see what you have new."

"What a dope little shop!! Full of all kinds of treasures, from taxidermy to vintage T-shirts, Hail Nashville truly transcends any description I could conjure in an attempt to categorize this place.. I learned about them a few years back when an artist I was working with had them deliver several impressive pieces to his studio in order to set the vibe for a multi-month residency.. A beautifully preserved and stuffed full size wolf, outrageous antlers and some vintage ashtrays were among the objects, and they all made a lasting impression on me.. So when I was recently in Nashville shooting music videos I stopped in to inquire about renting some prop pieces and I was met with great spirits by the gentlemen behind the counter.. They offered up essentially all I could need to create some epically creepy concepts and they were extremely fair on pricing.. All in all this place is an amazing addition to the ever evolving landscape and cultural phenomenon that is Nashville Tennessee.. They’re fully deserving of your business and of all the success that will continue to come their way.. Thanks guys for being generally awesome and adding flavor and flare to one of my favorite cities in the world!!"
