We had Tina as a server and she was quite literally the bees knees. Such a charming, sweet soul. 10/10 will come back just to have great beverages served by Tina!!

We had a great time! It was our first visit, we were celebrating my birthday. I was able to make a reservation with Kim, owner. We were seated in the bar, cozy area with a few tables. The experience was fun! Peter, also owner was our bartender. He shared how they got started on becoming the largest collection of bourbon in the world! Pretty amazing. If bourbon is your thing, this is definitely the place to be! If bourbon is not your thing, that’s Ok… Take a look at the other cocktails they offer and their wine list. I would recommend making a reservation before or after dinner. They do not offer any food other than a few salty snacks. You can also purchase bourbon from their retail selection at fair prices. Overall great experience and we plan to return with family when they visit next month.

We were in town for business then my wifes cardiologist up in Cincinnati. We decided to try a local Italian place then needed a drink to wash away the terrible experience. I had walked by this establishment about a year previous but they were not quite opened again yet. This time, they were in full swing!

Service here was wonderful. Everyone was friendly and the main man behind the bar was able to answer all my questions and make suggestions that were spot on.

This is the only bar I have been to that has such a wide variety of Old Forester Birthday. I finished off his 2014 and had a pour of the 2015. The 2014 is one of my all time favorites so this was quite the treat.

We sat indoors and the tables were close but that made us feel more at home and we're even able to talk to others around us. During such a stressful time, it made it nice to relax and engage with others.

If you enjoy bourbon and are in the area then this is a must go to location.

ABSOLUTELY worth the hype. Stop in here for a cocktail or a pour of bourbon from their extensive collection. Fair pricing and really friendly owners.

Come early, stay late, you'll love the experience. Not a large place, but it's still fun even when it's full. One of the best bourbon and whiskey lists.

Give this place a try! You can’t walk in here and not make a friend, Kim and Peter will make you feel at home. If you like bourbon you will have a hard time finding something they don’t have!

My wife and I stopped by after dinner across the street and ended up sticking around for hours. Amazing selection of bourbon and just a really amazing environment. Peter and the staff will make you feel at home and take care of you!

What a gem. Wasn’t expecting to meet a relative of Pappy VanWinkle. Had a great Weller flight that included CYPB which I have been wanting to try. Great night.

The indoor space was small and the patio was dark. Was hoping for more ambiance and entertainment.

Who would have known while traveling from out of state and making a simple reservation via text, my husband and I, along with another couple, would stumble upon this amazing bar and end up friends with the owners by the end of the evening. Pete and Kim were so very warm and welcoming. Their bottle collection of bourbon was beyond impressive. Pete’s vast knowledge of the history of the area and bourbon in general was outstanding. Definitely get the brownies. We had such an amazing evening, we returned the next night for a second visit, and had just as awesome of an experience. The servers were so warm and friendly as well. The charcuterie was fabulous. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!
