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 start long before the shaker hits the ice. It begins with sourcing premium spirits, using quality organic ingredients for juices and syrups, and honoring the history of the classic pour.
As the premier upscale cocktail 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, we look forward to welcoming you to your seat at the bar.
Meet the Makers: The Soul Behind 1854
“I approach every drink like a conversation. It’s about ingredients, balance, & of course, guest preference. My favorite pour on our menu right now? The 1854. It perfectly balances the bright, spiced tropical notes with the silky texture of milk clarification.”
— Carter, Bartender
Our Signature Pours
It has our name for a reason. A masterful, complex blend of Bacardi Rum, E&J Brandy, pineapple, citrus, and spices, fully clarified for a perfectly smooth, flawless finish.
The 1854
Bold, refined, and distinctly floral. Featuring Maker's Mark Bourbon balanced with turbinado syrup and elevated with delicate rose essence. A sophisticated twist for the whiskey enthusiast.
Mr. Lincoln
A showcase of botanical balance and texture. Aviation Gin shaken with our house loomi syrup, organic lime juice, cardamom, and egg white to create a rich, velvety foam. A gin sour, completely reimagined.
