Well, this is it. Our last day.

Come spend one final Sunday with us, say goodbye to the team, and help us make our last brunch a good one.

We’ll be here from 11–4 before we lock the doors one final time.

Thank you for everything, Owensboro. ❤️

The restaurant business is a tough one. You can work hard, care about what you do, have great people around you, and still not make it work.

There are a lot of restaurants and bars struggling right now, and unfortunately, we’re one of them. We close our doors this Sunday.

So if Netflix ever makes the documentary about the restaurant industry falling apart, at least I’ll be ready for my interview.

It's hard to believe we're writing this...

This is our final full week at 1885 Cocktail Bar. After Sunday brunch, we'll be closing our doors.

To everyone who walked through those doors, shared a drink, celebrated with us, laughed with us, and supported our dream—thank you. You gave this place life, and we'll always be grateful.

If 1885 has ever meant something to you, we'd love to see you one last time. Come have your favorite cocktail, enjoy one more meal, and most importantly, stop in to see your favorite bartender, server, or kitchen team member. They poured their hearts into making this place special, and we'd love for them to feel your support one last time.

From all of us at 1885...

Thank you, Owensboro. We'll see you this week.

If you have ever had his gravy with our biscuits and gravy you know it is lick the plate delicious. His enthusiasm for flavor and culinary curiosity keeps the grill in hot demand. Stop in for a burger tonight! ⭐️⭐️
