The Art of the Pour: Craft Cocktails in Cookeville

Where precision meets atmosphere. Discover the difference of true mixology at 1854.

The Craft Behind the Glass

Cocktail culture is more than just a drink; it’s a craft. At 1854, we believe the best cocktails in Cookeville start long before the shaker hits the ice. It begins with sourcing artisanal spirits, hand-pressing fresh botanicals, and honoring the history of the classic pour. As the premier upscale lounge in Putnam County, our mission is to provide an immersive experience that turns an evening out into a memory. Whether you are a connoisseur or looking for a new local favorite, welcome to your seat at the bar.
