This Saturday morning has a pretty good plan attached to it.

502 Power Yoga is taking over the Rick Room at 11am for a 45-minute class — all levels welcome, no experience necessary — followed by a cooldown cocktail and light bites from the Bourbons kitchen.

Tickets are $15 plus tax and a few spots are still available. Reserve yours on OpenTable under Experiences before they’re gone.

Old Fashioned Week is here, and we’re celebrating with an exclusive cocktail you won’t find anywhere else.

Elijah Craig Small Batch, rhubarb apple marmalade, and a splash of soda — a twist on the classic that’s only available while it lasts.

Old Fashioned Week has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the bar and restaurant industry since 2020, supporting foundations like Southern Smoke that take care of the people behind your favorite places.

Ordering one this week is a pretty good way to give back to the industry you love. Come try it before it’s gone.

Something a little different is coming to the Rick Room.

On November 4, Jefferson's Bourbon National Brand Ambassador Jenn Arnett is joining us for Oysters and Oceans, a casual evening of seafood, four Jefferson’s pours, and good conversation. Chef Jereme is sending out oysters three ways: Spicy Fried with Fresno peppers, raw with lemon and cocktail sauce, and Oysters Rockefeller — plus a bonus serving of the Shrimp and Grits, because we couldn’t resist.

The Jefferson's lineup includes Ocean Rye, two different Jefferson’s Ocean voyages, and Ocean Wheated, with a welcome cocktail to start.

Eat, sip, and mingle with Jenn as she shares the stories behind the pours.

$66 per person plus tax and gratuity. Reserve in the Experiences section of our OpenTable page.

Autumn Harvest Salad: Red and green oak leaf lettuces tossed in maple c***r vinaigrette, honeycrisp apple, dried cranberries, toasted pepitas, Fontina cheese

Scottish Salmon: Grilled salmon over butternut squash risotto topped with dried cranberries, toasted pepitas, maple c***r vinaigrette and crumbled goat cheese

Mushroom Bolognese: A savory ragu of finely chopped Porcini mushrooms and aromatic root vegetables in a rich San Marzano tomato sauce, served with pappardelle pasta, freshly grated parmesan and basil pesto

Last night was a wonderful, intimate evening with great bourbon and even better conversation for our Filmland Spirits Bourbon Dinner. Troy Bolotnick walked the room through the story behind Filmland and every pour in it and Chef Jereme’s fall menu was a perfect pairing. Everyone went home with a Filmland poster, which felt right for a brand that puts this much thought into the story behind the bottle. We hope to have them back soon.
