12 Best Bars in Bardstown

“We spent three days in Louisville/Bardstown and The Bar at Willet was the best place of the whole trip. This is in no small part to our excellent bartender Luciano. We split a few different items on the menu but definitely get the egg salad sandwich. They have a few different fancy food items but they are all approachable and tasty. On top of the great bourbon flight recommendations, Luciano was incredibly knowledgeable in regards to spirits in general, and made what our group agreed was the best Manhattan any of us has ever had.

Definitely book ahead - they were turning people away at the door.“

“The couple behind the bar pairs beautifully with the juice! Their knowledge and insight really is fantastic and some of the best times on the bourbon trail come from here!!“

“We recommend Liam and Ash, simply for their customer service, and their variety of spirits and cocktails! We recently went to Liam and Ash, for a little Valentines Day cocktail and dessert Love. Everyone is always so welcoming and helpful, especially when you inquire about a particular cocktail or spirit. The waitstaff is quick to give you the necessary information, you need to choose a cocktail based on your preferences. They will also suggest something new, if you're in an adventurous mood. Their food is always flavorful and pairs well with whatever libation you might be sipping on. Liam and Ash provides an upscale and cozy atmosphere, and has quickly become our go to for a after dinner drink, or a date night special. Definitely recommend stopping in!!!“

The prices are way cheaper than anywhere else, including fast food and the food is better than a sit down restaurant. It was so incredibly amazing.
