We pulled up to Benson Valley only to find it closed, so we decided to give HOC a try instead -- best 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! read more

Beautiful interior and knowledgeable staff. Well stocked bar, with about any bourbon you can desire on the shelf. Love the friendly atmosphere and it feels very upscale for a small town. 6/26 read more

Beautiful, personal, and delightful service. The pea pod vintage chandelier is stunning! The drinks were incredible. 10/10

Great little bourbon bar in downtown Frankfort. They have a large selection of Old Dusties plus other commonly available pours and other special stuff. Several seating options including the bar, couches, tables and chairs, etc. a large cocktail selection, too. Ours were quite good. The owner and staff are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. It's an old building with a lot of hard surfaces so it can get loud if it is busy or patrons get ... vocal. Reasonable prices, good selection, nice people. Stop in for a pour. read more

Excellent service by Austin. Explained a ton about whiskey. We came in not knowing the difference between whiskey and bourbon and left drunk. Just kidding we had a flight and a coffee drink, but learned an awful lot. read more

Beautiful place for a drink. We stopped in for a drink and was stunned to see such a lovely bar. We had a great bartender who had great knowledge of bourbon but we went on the lighter side with just wine and beer. Seriously this place is gorgeous, kudos to the owners and designers for making it so nice for a date night spot. read more

Best cocktails I've ever had! Austin is amazing and provided great recommendations and the most beautiful drinks. My boyfriend and I came here and sipped cocktails for hours and had a fabulous date. Stunning decor and ambiance. We stayed for a few hours and each enjoyed three different cocktails so we tried the majority of the menu. All delicious! I had the Recount, Clear the Air, and the espresso martini, which I had with bourbon for the first time and it's a game changer. The best espresso martini I've ever had. The Recount is the most beautiful cocktail I've ever had and so delicious too. My boyfriend enjoyed an old fashioned, manhattan, and the award winning original Frankfort. We loved all the drinks and they were all so different and unique. Excellent service. Definitely go here! read more

Fast for response and quote. So nice to talk to. Our house is so clean! Conformation and invoice so easy.

A MUST VISIT! We went here several times during our stay in Frankfort. The staff is amazing and extremely knowledgable about bourbon and the history behind the bourbons. It truly was a bourbon library! Educational and enjoyable. A great lounge atmosphere, but we sat at the bar to maximize our education of bourbon. read more

What a great place to try new and different whiskey. Great suggestions from Eric. I bet any strange taste requests you have will not phase them. We were glad we challenged him to come up with a flight for each of us and appreciated being introduced to whiskey we hadn't tried before. read more

The place is very nice. The service was good a staff friendly. Only had cocktails this time and they were very good. (old fashion)

Drinks were 5 . They definitely know there Bourbon. Tell them what you like and they will build a flight to your liking and price range.

A beautiful place to visit! Came here while on the bourbon trail and had one of best experiences. David was very knowledgeable on any and all whisky's. 10/10 recommend visiting if in town! read more

What an amazing place. The decor gives the place a cool vibe. The bartender was awesome. Very knowledgeable about the products they serve. I am blown away by their selection. I haven't seen a place carry as many older bottles like this one. I chose a flight of 3 things I have never had before and was pleased. Can't wait to come back on our next visit. read more

Walked in expecting this to be a typical nice cocktail bar to go to for a date night, but ended up being an extraordinary experience. Dave (owner/bartender/bourbon guru) recommended we get ourselves a bourbon flight, since it was his specialty. He asked a few questions about preferences and price range, and thoughtfully spent time curating a flight tailor made to the info I provided, explaining every detail of each bourbon along the way. Dave is a master of his craft! I could have been there for hours just absorbing his knowledge on anything drink, and I believe it's his service (and I'm sure any other employee there) that you're paying for, it just so happens that he serves some of the finest whiskey along with his incredible knowledge. If you're in Frankfurt for a trip along the bourbon trail, go to this place! You'll gain more knowledge about bourbon there than at any distillery. I will definitely be back for more. read more

The drinks are fantastic and the atmosphere is super cute, but the service is Slow. Be prepared to wait 40 minutes for your first round of drinks even if there are less than 8 people in the bar... read more

Now I'm a professional alcoholic. (A joke). But the bartenders were probably the most knowledgeable of their kind. They took from what I knew and made a flight for me to try and it elevated my taste and knowledge of some of the bourbons made. Now I'm on a mission to find the one I loved. Be warned what they give u doesn't mean u will find easily. Those guys know their stuff. Check them out. I'm a fan and will return when I come back in town. read more

We went here tonight and boy are we glad we did. This is such a unique place to try so many rare bourbons and some Vodkas. Aden was so very helpful along with the other bartender there. I forgot to get his name. They had a lot of knowledge behind the bourbons they sell. I highly recommend stopping in and trying a few bourbons or vodkas. We will be back. The atmosphere there was Mid Century Modern which was perfect. They don't serve food so eat before you go by. read more

Wow! What a spot! My brother and I stopped in here last night not knowing what to expect and were very impressed. The location is beautiful - small and intimate. We had no issues finding a couple of seats at the bar. We were greeted quickly and provided menus. While it did take a few minutes for the bartenders/mixologists to get back to us it's because they take their time with their customers answering questions, educating them and creating amazing cocktails and wonderful pours. They answered a lot of our questions and recommended some great bourbons we hadn't tried before. My brother and I both got a few pours and then each did a cocktail. I had the 'Frankfort' which was amazing and he had the 'Clear the Air' which he loved. This will definitely be a place we add to our plans for future trips to the bourbon trail!! read more

One of the best cocktail bars I've been to in a LONG time. Everything about this place is amazing--the decor, the helpful, kind staff and incredible drinks. I'm sad that we were only in the area for two nights and couldn't go back! If you want to unwind with a unique cocktail, you've got to try this place! read more

You are missing out if you don't come here! Aaron, the mixologist, is so amazing! And David, the owner, is so welcoming and really knows his bourbon and how to pinpoint your taste profile! We were there several evenings, and they ended each day with perfection! Their flights were amazing along with every old fashioned, whisky sour, espresso martini and mash of every kind. read more

We are on our annual motorcycle trip doing the bourbon trail. Stopped in the House of Commons and had a great time! Our bartender David was truly great and was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! The drinks were great and we had a great experience. Definitely would come back!!! read more

Five-star experience! We popped in for a quick pour before a boat tour on the river and were not disappointed. The bartenders, especially David. He asked us what our bourbon preferences were and price range and found the perfect pours for us. The array of vintage bourbons was amazing and we got to experience tastes we would never again be able to have. Ambience is lovely - lovely sofas, bar stools, etc. This is the kind of place we could stay in all evening. Highly recommend this amazing place! read more

Great knowledge of Bourbon. Got a flight of bourbon I've never tried and never heard of.

Amazing bourbon selection. Craft cocktails. A little spendy, but very nice inside with comfortable seating.

Great selection! Great knowledge of Kentucky bourbons. Enjoyed our time tasting various bourbons and learning about each one. read more
