Located in Jackson's historic Fairview Inn, the Library Lounge is actually located in the building's original library, built in 1908.

The Mahogany Bar is another of Robert St. James' enterprises, and if you visit one, you'll see why we had to include both on this list!

Try the Old Kinderhook, made with bacon-infused bourbon, Fernet Branca, bitters, and sugar.
The Guest Room is an upscale cocktail bar in Starkville, but if you haven't seen it, don't worry. It's another speakeasy style venue, and this time you have to go down an alley and into the basement of Restaurant Tyler. It's worth the find, though—choose one of their creative cocktails or, if tradition is more your style, go with a perfectly-executed classic.
