Our Story

A celebration of taste & time.

In 1824, Ann Arbor was founded with a spirit of community, culture, and timeless charm. Inspired by this rich heritage, 1824 Cocktails & Coffee was born — a space where tradition and craftsmanship converge.

Nestled in the heart of Ann Arbor, our bar honors the elegance of a bygone era while embracing the sophistication of modern mixology and coffee artistry. We specialize in expertly crafted martinis, paying homage to classic cocktail culture, while our high-end coffee offerings reflect the same dedication to quality and refinement.

Like the city itself, 1824 Cocktails & Coffee is a blend of old and new — a place where ideas are exchanged over morning brews, and evenings are filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and unforgettable experiences.

Join us in raising a glass to Ann Arbor's legacy. Here, every sip tells a story. Cheers to ya!
