Craft cocktails, a Southern Contemporary Kitchen, and live music every week — on Rose Street.


House syrups, proper technique, 30+ originals named for the music that shaped the room. Nothing pre-made, nothing you’ve had before.

Plates that know where they come from. Southern staples worked with technique — collard-green pesto, spiced maple, jalapeño cornbread. Built to share, best with a drink in hand.
Live sets every week, anchored by Fridays — the room the way it was meant to feel. Pop-ups, after-dark sessions, and private events year-round. No announcement needed. Just show up.

Your evening’s in good hands — the whole room, half of it, or a standing date at the bar. Corporate, social, or a celebration; the cocktails, the kitchen, and the music if you want it. Tell us the occasion; we’ll shape the rest.
Two visits, two cocktails — on us. Goes deeper than a walk-in. Not a loyalty program.
We take our name from John Dabney — and carry it as an ethic, not an ornament. An enslaved Virginia caterer and bartender whose craft was renowned while his freedom was withheld; his mastery was denied the recognition it earned. The homage is in the service.


Whether it’s a Tuesday after work or a Saturday night you planned around — Dabney & Co. is a room worth coming back to.
