    Side salad with chicken
    April B.

    This is a beautiful spot to grab a meal before or after your tour or tasting. Space is beautiful, service was personal and amazing! Food offerings and drink options are plenty. They also offer gluten free options. Of course, cocktails were hard to decide on as there were so many delicious options. This is a beautiful distillery with amazing tour options plus this fantastic restaurant in the middle of KY. Go. You won't be sorry and you'll want to return again.

    We had such a good time here! We had a tour scheduled so we decided to eat lunch before it. I'm very glad we did. The restaurant was beautifully decorated like a Napa winery but with bourbon. Service was awesome and the food was really good. I had shrimp and grits which came with large shrimp in a gumbo gravy over creamy grits. It was delicious! The only thing I didn't like was that the tails were left on the shrimp causing my fingers to get dirty. My friends had the burger, the chicken sandwich, and the pork medallions. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted great. Portions are plentiful and could easily be shared. This was a great lunch before our tour!

    Excellent food, drinks and service! Our group of 8 loved this place! We didn't realize how busy they would be but I emailed them and they were able to accommodate our party around the time we asked. Our waitress was excellent and very personable. Everyone raved about the food and the drinks were phenomenal. So glad we were able to experience Bardstown Bourbon Company!

    Second time back at Bardstown Bourbon Company but no tour this time just for lunch. We were quickly seated an ordered drinks and apps. I course did an Old Fashioned for my drink of course and for apps we did the Kentucky Poutine and the Caesar Salad which was for sure large enough to share. The Kentucky Poutine is amazing. Delicious gravy, squeaky Cheese Curds and and fresh cut fries. We also added an egg on top since the runny yolk works so well with everything in the poutine. For my entrée I went with the Fried Chicken Sandwich which comes with Pimento Cheese on it was well and a side of Fries. It's hard to say no to Pimento Cheese on a Fried Chicken Sandwich. Our food come out about 10 minutes later and everything looked really good. My sandwich had a nice big piece of fried chicken but the only issue was half if the chicken was over cooked making it a little tough. The other half on the other had though was perfect. The fries once again were fresh cut but were a little greasy for sure. It was also my birthday when we were there so they did give me a free Bread Pudding and ice cream which was great! Bardstown Bourbon Company is a beautiful distillery and for sure worth the time to check it out as well as for lunch/dinner. The food wasn't as good as last time but that's also because they didn't have some of the things we loved on the menu 2 years ago. That poutine though is still amazing and a must get every time.

    Everything is fabulous. Service was wonderful we also had the dessert flight. So good

    Beautiful Bar area in restaurant.

    We arrived right before the lunch service at 11:30 and sat at the bar, around 11am. We waited there for lunch to start since all of the lunch reservations were full. We were promptly served at 11.30 and the food and service were great! The drinks were fantastic as well! I don't know why I didn't get a picture of the drinks, but they were pretty good for a newer distillery. Ambiance was, as you can see, gorgeous! Not loud and all of the staff ate really nice!

    The Legacy Bottle
    Michael W.

    Maybe my favorite tour. We did the Barrel Thieving Tour and their 3.5 Year bourbon was just fantastic. You get three cask strength samples in the rickhouse and then you get to go to a great room where you get a fourth sample. I paid the money for the chance to fill my own bottle with Triple Stave and it was great bourbon. These guys are newer to the industry but they take other bourbons, plus their own, and make fusions of flavor. Overall, this was a great tour that I loved. I came back and bought Steve Nully's Legacy blend. My bottle was signed by Steve and it was a neat experience.

    We had a fabulous time on the tour. Learning about the history and all that goes into the distillation process. I will never forget that smell of the rack house! Thanks for a great experience!

    Our party of four went on a Saturday night. We accidentally passed the main entrance door, walked to the end of the building and entered by a bar. Somehow all the glass, the shadowy lighting at dusk and our passionate conversation prevented us from seeing the main entrance doors..until we had passed them already. So, once we entered in the wrong door, we had to walk back to the hostess stand (at the correct door; this felt like a walk odd shame) and wait a few seconds to be seated. Once we were seated, we decided to get 2 appetizers and share them. We got the chicken fried oysters with kettle chips and pan-seared brussel sprouts with bourbon bacon and kentucky blue cheese. The oysters were just OK (I mean they have an acquired taste), but the kettle chips were quite tasty. Actually, since both of the appetizers were flavorful, I assumed that our entrees would be tasty also. Well, that was an incorrect assumption. Three people, in our party of 4, ordered the fried chicken. All three of us were disappointed. Our dishes were really bland and unappetizing; though, they looked amazing. Well...there was one bright spot for the entrees.. the person who ordered the salmon really enjoyed her dish. Though, The staff was really friendly and pleasant.

    After hearing so many good things about this restaurant we were thrilled to have a reservation here right after our tour. The area is nice and open. We had the first reservation of the day so we were seated and greeted immediately. As expected their bourbon menu is extensive but we decided on a Manhattan with Bardstown Bourbon. It arrived quickly and was delicious! For lunch we ordered the mac and cheese and the blt. We also ordered the Humingbird cupcake for dessert. Everything was delicious and we would absolutely go back again.

    So happy someone got the right idea to have a true restaurant along with a bourbon distillery. Bottle and Bond Kitchen and Bar has got a good thing going for themselves. The restaurant/ kitchen and bar is very modern. The inside is beautiful and very inviting. I love all of the plants and greenery throughout the building. They even put up this amazing moss wall up that is great for photos. My friend said that she had been several times and that the drinks were amazing, the food was good but the service could be better. We had no issues during our visit. The service was great. Our server took great care of us and was very attentive. Now the drinks are amazing!!! I got the Bardstown Mule and my friends got the Wabbit and the Fairly Odd. Now I was a little worried about their drink choices but these are by far the best drinks I've had. They were all delicious and unique. I will definitely be back for their drinks. My friend and I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and the other friend got the Fried Chicken. Both entrees came with fries. The fries have a good crunch and taste great with their ranch dressing. I didn't try the Fried Chicken but it looked amazing. My friend enjoyed it and it was a good portion. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was delish. It had a creamy deviled egg spread on it and a good amount of spice on the chicken. I throughly enjoyed the meal. There is a shop to purchase bourbon and other spirits. There is a beautiful bar on the side of the restaurant and then there also a nice area for the tastings. I really enjoyed the whole experience. I would rate the drinks as the best part of the experience. You have to try them and especially the seasonal drink.

    Shrimp and Grits

    My mom and I were in town visiting family and I thought it would be fun to take a drive down to all the distilleries. I read many reviews and it brought me to Bardstown! I remember calling in the day of, and the woman on the other end was so incredibly helpful. She made sure to squeeze us in first thing on a Friday. 5 stars for service! Truly, the boozy milkshake photo did me in, but to my surprise, they don't make them anymore, BOO! However, once we arrived, we were wowed by the grounds and how beautiful the modern architecture was. We were sat at a large table right in the middle of the restaurant, which was a large dining room with the highest ceiling, and it was so open you could see every area. The bar had multiple areas to sit with a grand fireplace dividing it. We dove into the menus - first - a bourbon flight. Now, we are not bourbon drinkers, but we couldn't NOT try it. Then we added in the food! Poutine to start, then the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and we asked for their bourbon maple syrup so we could dip. Once that fried chicken came out, we were sold. It was a half chicken for size, fried up and crispy to perfection. Seasoned country green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy on the side. We drizzled the maple syrup on that chicken and devoured it. Of course, we couldn't end this night without dessert. Cheesecake. Anytime cheesecake is on the menu, we have to order it. Also, who knew cheesecake went really well with bourbon?! We kept taking bites of the cheesecake and tasting our bourbon with it. YUM!

    The first thing you notice is the modern dining room and architecture of the place. The bourbon is delicious and the service is great for a novice that doesn't understand much about bourbon. My wife and I got a fried bologna sandwich to good and it was something to not shake your head at. Bourbon ranges from $60 and up. Plus they carried other bourbon from across the US in their gift shop.

We sat at the bar because it was still pretty packed. The place was fun - the service was a bit silly in a good way. Great cocktails. Great ambiance and decor. My bourbon-grilled pork chops were fantastic. Good cornbread. Green beans were fantastic. The fried apples were just okay - a bit on the dry side. My friend's chicken and waffles looked amazing. Another friend's ribeye looked a bit overdone to me, but he seemed to like it. I wish the souvenir store was still open when we were there (it closed at 6pm) because I would have liked to bring home a trinket or shirt. Maybe upon next visit - because I will definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Bardstown. Make it a priority to stop in!

The ambiance was wonderful for a date...dimly lit, seated off in a corner, and history all around. We were seated quickly and met by the friendliest server we had on this trip.

Hubby's family had been and had emphatically recommended it. This plus the great reviews and awesome looking pictures had us very excited. We started with the country ham hush puppies, the Caesar, and the mac and cheese. The salad and mac and cheese were alright, but we were really trying to mental gymnastics our way into believing that the hush puppies were great. For my entree, nothing was especially calling my name, so I settled on the gnocchi with added chicken. It was a very meh dish, and the chicken seemed like it was just added thoughtlessly, as opposed to pairing with the dish harmoniously. My husband got the catfish, which he said was fine. Aunt got the meatloaf, which was also fine but nothing to write home about either. The real winners were the little cousins who got burgers. These were simple but not bad by any means. The locale is really beautiful and definitely worthy of a special occasion. Love the two levels and the elevated tavern feel. The staff was great and super helpful and friendly. Overall, we likely won't be back, as we feel we can get a comparable experience elsewhere for the price, with likely better food. But go see for yourself! The menu looks like it changes, maybe we came at an off season.
