I'm not one to really get on here and gush about places, but I am making an exception for Kenton Stories with Spirit. We happened upon this place while attending a festival that was held around the corner. After enjoying the sidewalk dining, we explored the store itself. What a gem. The hospitality was awesome, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I lucked out and bought a book about Simon Kenton, my favorite frontiersman. We will return.

Get the Bourbon slush. You'll be glad you did.

This is a gem in a lovely river town in Kentucky. Wonderful books and local arts in the front, a wonderful bourbon bar in the back with a limited but excellent menu and really great people serving and conversing.
Definitely worth the trip, even if it requires a detour.

What a neat little place. Was just walking through and we stopped in to check it out. All bookstores should serve bourbon!

Seven of us descended upon this gem during our stay in Maysville and we loved it.

There are interesting titles in the bookstore along with some nice handmade items so it was easy to linger there for a while.

Once in the bar area we met Lisa who made helpful food and drink suggestions. Her knowledge of the inventory was so extensive that it was near encyclopedic. We ultimately settled on the Reuben Sliders, Bourbon Slushies, and French Old Fashioneds, all of them were great!

We will return every time we visit Maysville!

This store and bar are an adorable place to shop and grab a bite. My husband and I visited while on our honeymoon for a quick lunch. The food is very good... and the bourbon slush is amazing! Everyone was friendly and personable. Great atmosphere and great experience! We can't wait to come back!

My boyfriend and I stopped by later in the afternoon and paid $30 for drinks and spoke to a kind server who, as we were leaving told us to come again the next day, but when we came back we ran into some issues with an older woman who worked there. We quietly sat in the lounge deciding what to order, since it was too hot to stand outside, but while still deciding, the older woman came up to us and said we would have to leave because someone told her that we were “making out”. We were both shocked, and could only come to the conclusion that the peck on my cheek that my boyfriend had given me earlier was what she was talking about, but we weren’t given much time to respond before she left in a huff. My boyfriend returned to work things out with the older woman, but this whole experience still left us feeling disrespected and not valued as paying customers. If you plan on visiting here, know that they frown upon small gestures of affection and that they are quick to escalate minor issues without first trying to resolve them.
