The Recess Experience & Makeshift:Cause, We Gone Make it do what it Do

As we prepare for our Black Bar Crawl, The Recess Company is excited to spotlight one of our standout partners—Makeshift Cocktail Bar. Makeshift is where creativity and craft come together in a space that’s as warm as it is vibrant. With a menu full of inventive, meticulously crafted drinks, it’s the perfect place to sip, savor, and connect.



The Spirit of Makeshift: Making Magic with What You Have

At Makeshift, the name says it all. The very definition of “makeshift” is about doing what you can, even when conditions aren’t perfect—creating something remarkable with the resources you have. That’s a message that resonates with us at The Recess Co and with so many small business owners who understand what it’s like to take a leap, even when everything isn’t lined up perfectly.

Starting a business can be like mixing up a new cocktail—sometimes, you don’t have every ingredient you think you need, but with a little creativity and determination, you can craft something extraordinary. Makeshift embodies this spirit, blending passion and ingenuity to create a space where everyone feels welcome. It’s a place where dreams take shape, one carefully crafted drink at a time.


Sip, Savor, and Celebrate at Makeshift

Walking into Makeshift, you’ll find a lively, eclectic atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem. It’s a bar that invites you to slow down, appreciate the details, and enjoy each moment. The menu is full of surprises, from signature cocktails that push the boundaries of mixology to reimagined classics that feel fresh yet familiar. Each drink is a little work of art, and every pour is a nod to Nashville’s rich, creative spirit.


With a team of talented bartenders who are always ready to share their craft, Makeshift is all about making you feel at home—even if you’re discovering a flavor you’ve never tried before. It’s the kind of place where a night out can turn into something special, where conversations flow as easily as the drinks.
