The Old Fashioned Bar & Cafe was built on one simple idea: to bring a little more intention—and a lot more flavor—to your everyday ritual.
By morning, we’re your cozy corner for scratch-made breakfasts, fresh pastries, and specialty coffee sourced with care. By night, we shift into something a little slower, a little smoother—a top-shelf bourbon bar where the lights dim and the conversation lingers.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Specialty Coffee, Sustainably Sourced
We proudly partner with Counter Culture Coffee, a leader in ethically sourced beans with bold, complex flavor profiles. Every cup we pour tells a story.
Locally Baked Pastries
All of our baked goods come from Simply Pure Sweets—a woman-owned bakery in Murfreesboro, TN. You can taste the difference in every bite.
Made In-House, From Scratch
Every syrup, sauce, and drizzle you’ll taste was crafted right here in our kitchen—no shortcuts, no fillers, just real ingredients and Southern love.
Farm-Sourced Pottery
We believe how it’s served matters just as much as what’s served. That’s why our dishes are presented on hand-crafted pottery from local makers.
Our Neighborhood
We’re nestled right across from Belmont University in the historic Hillsboro-West End—where college students, creatives, and locals alike gather for coffee, conversation, and cocktails.
Whether you’re starting your day with a biscuit or ending it with a bourbon, you’re always welcome here.
