The wealth of knowledge with both Austin, our Bartender and Dave, Owner, is amazing. Thanks to them, we walked out of there quite happy with our tastings. With the huge selection of Bourbon, right in front of us, we were able to ask questions about any bottle we spotted on the shelf. We gained a lot more information about Bourbon. THANK YOU Austin & Dave !!! Yes, we will stop here EVERY TIME we travel to Frankfort, KY. Hoping it won't be another 2 yrs.

We pulled up to Benson Valley only to find it closed, so we decided to give HOC a try instead --…read morebest detour ever! This place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming. The staff provided great whiskey conversation and shared so much interesting history about the community and the distillery. It really made the tasting feel personal and special. We had the opportunity to sample an incredible lineup: * Weller 12 * Rip Van Winkle 10yr * Castle & Key Rye * Peerless Double Oak * Benson Valley Bourbon Every pour was smooth, flavorful, and clearly high quality. The pours were generous and the explanations for each one added so much depth. If you're into whiskey (or just good conversation and local history), HOC is a must-stop. We left smiling and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend! Thanks again to the team at HOC -- you turned a closed door into one of the highlights of our road trip!

Lots of bourbon trailers spend time hanging out with locals and getting rare bourbon you can only get in Frankfort, KY. This is the oldest bar in Frankfort and has an impressive collection of bourbon brands, and even the rarest of the rare- Pappy Van Winkle collection. They also have bar food and the best chicken wings in town. I like the Bourbon Glaze and Garlic Parmesan wings. The bar has been completely remodeled with nice clean bathrooms and new staff. The new workers seem to love their job and enjoy sharing local bourbon lore with the out of towners. I like to watch movies on the big tvs and sometimes they put on old shows to watch at the customer's request. There's pool that seems very popular and a touch tunes that's always playing the hits.

The beers are all pretty reasonably priced and the self-tap system works really well. I tried a bunch of different beers for under $5.

I'm sure that's a feature and not a flaw of beer lovers. I got what they recommended and found it to be fine. The martini was not dirty enough for my wife, but I guess that is a subjective thing. For the meal I went with the NY Strip for $26 and she got shrimp and grits for $20. I found the steak to be over cooked and under seasoned. My wife, however, LOVED the ship and grits. She orders this dish a lot at different places and thought this was one of the best she has had. The service was good. The food arrived super quickly. The vibe is casual all the way. If you are a craft beer lover this place should be on your short list. Everyone else is a maybe. I was going to give 3 stars but my loved her dish so much I gave them a 4 star rating.

Like most other people we had toured Buffalo Trace Distillery and were looking for a place to eat. As usual we'd like to try things that are a little out of the way and not a restaurant chain. This place sounded perfect. So we drove out of the way - up and down and around curves and finally got to the dock. It looks rundown, but we still thought we would give it a try because looks can be deceiving. Our server was a very nice lady and the prices on the menu were excellent. There were four of us and we all decided to get the fish meal. Some got french fries - some got onion rings with their fish. Since we were right on the water, we figured that our catfish would be fresh. We were wrong! From our seat, we could see them get frozen french fries out of the freezer and put them in the fryer. Then they reached into the freezer and grabbed four pieces of Frozen fish planks and put them in the fryer. Our hopes are fading fast at this point! They do not serve coleslaw - maybe because it doesn't come frozen. The food just was not good at all! ****Our goal in life is not to put someone out of business by leaving a mean review!! But this is an honest review and we want to give people a heads up before they drive out of their way to go here.***** The only thing we can think of is, maybe they are still open because they make their money at night with the karaoke crowd drinking alcohol? I don't know, but it's definitely not because of their food. We won't be back and we do NOT recommend this restaurant
