THE BOURBON HOUSE
at 1885 Farms
An intimate bourbon experience inside the historic Barn at 1885 Farms.
Tucked inside our 1885 octagonal barn, The Bourbon House is a place to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the kind of evening that feels unhurried.
This is not a bar.
It is a bourbon-focused house — quiet, warm, and intentional. A place for thoughtful pours, good conversation, curated flights, and the unmistakable charm of a barn with more than a century of history in its beams.
Whether you are a longtime bourbon lover or simply curious to learn, we invite you to experience bourbon the 1885 way: with history, hospitality, and a deep appreciation for the details.
The Location: Navarre, Ohio
The Setting: The historic Barn at 1885 Farms
The Experience: Bourbon pours, flights, signature Old Fashioneds, wine, and curated boards in a calm, quiet setting
A HOUSE, NOT A BAR
The Bourbon House was created for those who appreciate atmosphere as much as what is in the glass.
Here, the music is soft, the lighting is low, and the pace is slower by design. Guests are invited to sip, stay, and enjoy the beauty of the space without the rush of a traditional bar setting.
Come for a pour. Stay for the conversation.
THE ATMOSPHERE
Historic wood. Warm lighting. A bourbon glass over a stamped cube. The quiet feeling of being somewhere special.
The Bourbon House brings together everything we love about 1885 Farms — history, hospitality, beauty, and intention — in a new way.
The Barn has hosted weddings, celebrations, and unforgettable moments for years…
Now, it welcomes guests for something quieter: an evening built around presence, conversation, and a really good pour.
OUR HOUSE BARREL
At the heart of The Bourbon House is our very own 1885 Farms House Barrel — a single barrel bourbon selected specifically for this space.
The idea began after the owners opened a stay in Bardstown, Kentucky, along the bourbon trail. After touring local distilleries, experiencing tastings, and falling in love with the history and hospitality surrounding bourbon culture, they knew the Barn at 1885 Farms was the perfect place to bring that same feeling home to Ohio.
Our House Barrel was carefully chosen from Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky.

Because it comes from one single barrel, this bourbon is unique to 1885 Farms — a pour that belongs to this place, this story, and this moment in time.
