    This is a small scale distillery, but with that small scale comes attention to detail, a great service, and an amazing product. We were so pleased with our tasting and ended up purchasing a bottle of their single barrel. We followed it up with well-made cocktails from the bar. The owner was there and sat at the table to chat with us and even stayed late after closing. To top it off, this distillery is a Harvest Host member so they let us camp in their parking lot!! All in all a wonderful experience.

    The food was excellent.. tour and sampling were great. Small distillery with a great story and staff.

    Small distillery with a great story, food, and staff. The tour is intimate with a great tasting after. Highly recommend

    On our way from Louisville, KY to Nashville, TN; we had to stop at Dueling Grounds Distillery. Almost perfect reviews and score on Yelp? And the best Kentucky Margarita made with clear Bourbon? Challenge!! Well, the reviews are correct. This place is great! We didn't do a tour, but we tried some of their signature drinks. The Kentucky Margarita was delicious, just as described. The Maple Old Fashioned and Apple Pie Old Fashioned were tasty as well. The place was quiet as we stopped at noon on a Wednesday. Inside is clean and large enough to sit about 30 people. The bartender was friendly, and he made some good drinks. I definitely would recommend this gem just off Highway 65.

    First time here and it was a home run! The best Kentucky margarita and old fashion we've ever had. And their flat bread pizza was delicious. Great service and hospitality overall. Truly a gem and well Definitely come back.

    Fun tour that teaches you all you need to know about bourbon. This is a small craft distillery that prides itself in a precision product. The tour is normally $ 15 but I bought a groupon special for $ 6.40. You get a tasting flight (4 choices) at the end of the tour. The cask bourbon is aged 4 years and is pricy for me. I settled for some blueberry liquer that was quite tasty. This distillery is on the bourbon tour and is about 1 hour north of Nashville.

    I love me a small town small batch distillery. Robbie, our host was fabulous explaining the bourbons and other craft spirits. We did the tasting of four flavors including the two aged bourbons , the clear bourbon and the Apple pie. The 120 proof is as smooth as it gets for a high proof. We also had the margarita cocktail made with the clear. So much better and smooth than with tequila. I had the Maple Old Fashioned. I could of had 4-5-6-7 drinks. They are also part of the Harvest Host RV club and the Craft Bourbon Tour. Got our first stamp on our Kentucky Bourbon Trail Passport.

    We loved it all! Seriously the kindest staff (only 5 employees!) run this distillery and tap room. We had a Friday off and couldn't get tickets to Dickel so we headed north and we are so glad we did! We had an amazing time in this craft distillery chatting with the brand manager and front of house staff running the tour and tap room. They offer a great tasting menu, pizzas and cocktails as well as local beers and wine if that's not your thing. My fiancé and I both bought bottles to bring home and he's still talking about that Irish coffee he had as I loved the Madhattan I opted for as well. We'll be sipping on our bourbons and relishing the impromptu memories made from this adventure for years!

    We took a tour of the distillery and enjoyed a tasting afterwards. The tour was educational and historical. Absolutely so much fun. Very kid friendly (teens in our group enjoyed the tour and ibc root beer afterwards). Lots of fun cocktails to try and tasty bourbon. We visited on Friday afternoon so we also enjoyed the homemade pizzas (recommend the hot honey pizza and the William white). I'm not much of a bourbon drinker so the cocktails were my speed. I loved the Kentucky margarita and the gin and juice. We were staying in the mammoth cave area so the drive took about an hour. Well worth it!

    Great pizza (William White - wow!). Delicious bourbons (did a distillery flight and the limited edition tasting). Amazing cocktails (maple old fashioned, prohibition old fashioned and sunny sour)... all awesome! And the people. From Mark, the owner, to the bartenders - fantastic people willing to connect with travelers. Super cool place to check out right off I-65.

    So I'm a local that stopped by after many years just to check it out and have an Old Fashioned. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They urged me to come back on Friday for Pizza which I did. Best Pizza in Franklin!!!!! Thin cracker style crust with nice crisp edges. My kids and I absolutely love it! We normally get the "Hot Shot" but we also like the "Sam Houston." Do yourself a favor and give it a try.

    Fun! Tour was very interesting. We learned about distilling as well as local history. Recommend this if you have a couple hours available.

Dodging yet another storm that rolled through when our group was here, we posted up in Nelson's Green Brier for an hour or so. I haven't struggled so much like I have here to pick a craft cocktail. There are so many good ones on the menu that fit any type of pallet, that it took me so long to decide. I got a modified old fashioned and then there was a martini-like drink that I tried. Both really packed a punch, luckily we were walking to our next destination. In the store they seemed to have a flash-sale going on for one of the bourbons. It was normally around $75 or something and I got it for $45. I am sure that's not normal but it really made the selection even better, because the wall of whiskey/bourbon is also really tough to choose what you want!

I'm not much of a whiskey or bourbon drinker, but I still really enjoy coming here because they have creative cocktails that are delicious and approachable for everyone. The team is always hosting unique events, which keeps us coming back. Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out, it's a great local spot with a welcoming atmosphere and something different to offer each visit.

    We booked our trip with BOF when things seemed to be getting a little better despite the pandemic…read more As seasoned distillery tourists, my friend and I were excited to check out some places in TN while we were in town, but didn't want to have to worry about driving ourselves or ride sharing due to distance between places. When I found BOF I knew we'd be in good hands. We booked the 3 distilleries + winery option (best bang for our buck and best way to see multiple places). But as our trip drew closer, the restrictions on bars and places began to return. About a week prior to our visit, BOF alerted us that we either would have to do just 1 distillery and the winery or we could get a refund completely. Since this experience was part of the whole reason we chose Nashville, we decided to back down to just the 1 distillery option. The company was great about keeping in contact with us up until the day. We met the bus at the designated pick up location, got inside, introduced ourselves and then the door closed and the wheels started moving. We were shocked that they kept our reservation - we were in a party bus and it was just the two of us! We were told we could bring roadies (we opted for coffee because we're old and needed the mid-day pick-me-up) and the bus was stocked with water and snacks. Off we went to our distillery - Corsair. It was a very cool brick building, and our guide (I wish I could remember her name, so sorry) got us checked in. Since we were about 30 minutes early, we had time to explore the rest of the building/shops which was a bonus. After the fantastic tour and tasting, we re-boarded and began our drive to Arrington Winery. Although any $ spent at Arrington is not included in the cost of BOF, it was totally worth it to have them take us there. It is a bit of a hike and I wouldn't feel comfortable driving myself back to downtown after a visit there. We had about 1.5 hours at Arrington which was perfect for some tastings, a glass of frose and some snacks. Our driver was safe, and super nice. Since it was just the two of us, we asked if she could drop us off direct at our hotel (about 2 miles away from the determined location) and she did, which saved us an additional UBER ride, so thank you! I look forward to whenever everything opens back up and we can book another tour with them again to try out some new places!

    So happy to find Barrels of Fun!! We were just visiting Nashville for a few days and didn't want to…read morerent a car for the ride to Arrington Vineyards. Such a fun day, driver was super friendly and we met some great girls on the bus. The only thing I would recommend is that we could've maybe stayed a little longer...but it was enough for a bottle of wine! Also, I left my Quay sunglasses on the bus...they were kind enough to send them to MA for me :)
