Who We Are

At Dabney & Co, we pay homage to the unsung Black mixologists who've significantly impacted the cocktail industry, despite facing adversity. Our establishment celebrates their pioneering spirit through our offerings of handcrafted cocktails, soulful music, and food, fostering a space of inclusivity and learning. By highlighting their achievements, we aim to inspire and recognize their vital role in cocktail history, encouraging future generations to uphold their legacy of innovation and excellence.

At Dabney & Co, we are committed to creating a memorable and enjoyable experience for every visitor who comes through our doors. Our staff is known for their energetic and joyful personalities, and they often bring their own unique flair to their work, whether it be through singing and dancing or other creative expressions. We hope that you will visit us often and become a regular customer, experiencing all that we have to offer.

To create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, we rely on the power of music to bring people together. We play a range of soulful, funky, jazzy, disco, bluesy, R&B, and hip-hop music that is meant to uplift and inspire our visitors. We want everyone who visits our establishment to feel welcome and to have the opportunity to make new friends, regardless of their background.

As part of our commitment to inclusivity and diversity, we strive to have a staff that reflects these values. We believe that a diverse team helps to create a more dynamic and vibrant atmosphere, and it also helps us to better serve and understand the needs of our diverse customer base. We are dedicated to being a place of variety and inclusivity, and we hope that our staff and our atmosphere reflect this mission.

At Dabney & Co., we're dedicated to fostering a culture of fairness and equity, which is why we've implemented an automated 20% gratuity policy on all transactions. This approach is central to our commitment to ensuring equitable wages for our team, addressing the historical biases that have disproportionately affected women and people of color in the hospitality industry. Traditionally, these groups have received lower tips compared to their counterparts, an inequality we aim to eliminate.

By standardizing gratuities, we ensure that our staff is compensated fairly, allowing them to focus on providing exceptional service to every guest, regardless of party size. This policy not only supports our team's financial stability but also promotes a more inclusive atmosphere where all guests receive the same high level of attention and care.

We believe that this approach to gratuity and wages aligns with our values of equality and respect, reflecting our broader commitment to social justice and community support. At Dabney & Co., every guest's experience is paramount, and through our equitable wage policy, we strive to ensure that our staff can dedicate themselves fully to creating memorable moments for everyone who walks through our doors.
