Cathead Distillery Bar ★ 4.2

Cocktail bar$$Thu 17:00-22:00; Fri-Sat 13:00-22:00

Mississippi's largest craft distillery on Farish Street runs a cocktail bar serving drinks made exclusively with Cathead Vodka and Mississippi Gin, produced.

Order: The Cathead Mississippi Gin and tonic with a local botanical garnish, or ask for a tasting flight of the distillery's spirits

Johnny T's Bistro and Blues ★ 4.0

Soul food$$Tue-Fri 11:00-23:00; Sat-Sun 14:00-00:00; closed Mon

Jackson's best live blues venue on the historic Farish Street entertainment corridor, combining Southern food with live Mississippi blues on weekends.

Order: Fried catfish plate and a Mississippi whiskey before the music starts

Tip: Farish Street is a historic neighbourhood undergoing slow revival; the surrounding area is quiet, which makes Johnny T's feel like an anchor of something important

Hal and Mal's ★ 4.1

Soul food$$Mon-Sat 11:00-21:00; Sun 10:30-15:00

Hal and Mal's in a converted cotton warehouse is the closest thing Jackson has to a great music venue that also serves food. The enormous space - complete.

Order: Mississippi craft beer on draft; the kitchen menu for food before 21:00

Tip: Check the event calendar at halandmals.com; event nights bring the best crowds and the bar extends its hours

Hidden behind the lunch counter of Brent's Drugs in Fondren, the Apothecary is a narrow, dimly lit cocktail bar that occupies the back of the historic.
