Nashville Live Whiskey Cocktail Experience

This is more than a cocktail class—it’s a live whiskey salon set inside a reimagined Nashville tobacco house. Guests craft cocktails, hear local stories, and enjoy live music in one of the city’s most stylish hidden lounges, just before 1865 Club opens for the evening.

1865 Club

During this immersive experience, guests will craft three distinct whiskey cocktails under the guidance of professional cocktail educators from Tennessee Whiskey Workshop. Each drink is introduced with engaging storytelling about its ingredients, technique, and cultural ties to Tennessee whiskey and Southern hospitality.
Between cocktail segments, guests will enjoy live performances by local musicians, creating a dynamic rhythm that flows through the session—part tasting, part social salon, part hidden Nashville concert.
Light snacks such as almonds and olives are provided, and 1865 Club’s food menu is available throughout. The experience concludes with a casual Q&A session, giving guests the chance to dive deeper into whiskey knowledge, cocktail history, or local recommendations.

It’s a perfect way to unwind after brunch or elevate your Sunday afternoon—especially before 1865 Club opens its doors for public service at 3:00 PM. Whether you're a local or a traveler seeking a true “Live Like a Local” moment, this event offers the perfect balance of education, entertainment, and atmosphere in one of Nashville’s most elegant and historic venues.
