The Mather Lounge, located in the first-floor space that was formerly the Gentleman’s Bar, is an old-fashioned craft cocktail bar that offers a Prohibition Era experience. This historic lounge offers local & regional small batch spirits, signature craft cocktails, a robust wine selection, many whiskey & bourbon options and bottled beers and seltzers. The Mather also carries a variety of non-alcoholic beer, craft mocktail options and non-alcoholic spirits for use in any of their drink selections.
The owner’s focus has been on its whiskey and bourbon selection with over 40 varieties on hand from allocated supply to moderate range selections. There is something for everyone’s price range. Order this up either neat or on the rocks with our signature “M” ice cubes. We are always on the hunt and searching for new selections for our guests to enjoy.
Take a step back in time with a Mather Old Fashioned or have a tasty mocktail while sitting in the original chairs that Duke Ellington, Jimmy Stewart and others enjoyed a nightcap in during their stay while filming Anatomy of a Murder, in the 1950’s.
In addition to inside seating in various areas on the main floor, you can relax with your favorite cocktail on our spacious front porch while overlooking the breathtaking gardens. The Mather rock gardens also feature Hematite stone which the area is known for.
