    On a recent trip to Bardstown for yet another Bourbon event, my wife wanted to leave early enough so she could shop in downtown Bardstown. Being a man who likes to please his wife, we headed down about 3 hours early, found a parking spot downtown and I began trailing my wife into the various shops and then having the pleasure of carrying her treasures as she found another shop to visit. Luckily for me it was not long before I saw Liam Ash and I informed my wife, that is where I will be until it is time to attend our event. She agreed and happily left me setting at the bar, with her packages safely nestled under my bar stool. As I perused the menu and the bourbon offerings, I selected multiple options, Their The Scar Fast Bread (Chicken, Buffalo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Ranch dressing drizzle) which was very tasty. I ordered multiple cocktails and bourbon tastings. Their old fashion lived up to its reputation. The owner along with his staff provided great service and great conversion. I made new friends as my wife came back in and dropped off more packages on multiple occasions. I will be back every chance I get.

    Great bar - lovely design.

    Beautiful joint. Seriously. Family in from out of town. Popped in on a Friday & I'm glad we did. Attentive service... Nikki is on-the-job and knows her stuff. Julie served our food, too. Love this staff. Very pleased. Will come back ASAP.

    Absolutely amazing staff and selection. Highly recommend the Kentucky Nectar and Bardstown Carter. Good chill place for a drink with solid music as well

    We were here for its Bourbon Week in Bardstown, Kentucky. The Gatekeeper cocktail features bourbon, aperol, mango, orgeat, lemon, and is topped with an elegant smoke bubble. This an amazing cocktail. You also should try the Hardy's Hardy Board. It has boiled eggs, sausage bal;lbs with croissant breakfast sandwich of Fromage blanc, prosciutto and Cherry Jam. This is a must try. They also offer French Press coffee with all the traditional accompments. You can indulge yourself with a delicious board or a fantastic cocktail.

    Loved this place! Stumbled upon it but it did not disappoint. We had the best servers, the best food and the best drinks! It's totally a great place to visit.

    The drinks were some of the best around. The reveille and the sanctuary were top notch. The service and the atmosphere are great as well. Make sure when you visit Bardstown to make Liam Ash one of your destinations of choice.

    Fantastic little bourbon bar in downtown bardstown. The manager made the experience even better than the drink. She sat down with us and gave a 30,000 ft review of the town and places to go. Definitely will be back.

    I've never written a one star review, so it really saddens me that my experience here was so. It…read morewas my partners birthday 3/14, this place was recommended to us for offering excellent cocktails. The 1920s speakeasy ambiance was well done, we were excited to enjoy drinks here. We sat at the bar next to a few other folks, the bartender asked us if we knew what we would like. I asked for a menu, she said she didn't have them out right now and would come back to take our order. The bartender returned and my partner explained that we weren't sure what we wanted to order, that it was our first time in and asked if there was a menu we could view. The bartender responded with, ''no menus, it's easier that way''. I was taken back by not only the comment, but the tone of her voice (clearly not happy with our request). I turned to my boyfriend and said, let's go somewhere else! The speakeasy wasn't crowded, but, was part of the Elizabethtown St. Patrick's Day bar crawl. I don't believe that should have any effect on the regular menu or quality of service. We were disappointed with our experience (lack of) especially on such a special day. We skipped down the road to Bourbon Barrel Tavern and received excellent service and tasty cocktails.

    Love this place! Located under JR Neighbors and has a speakeasy feel where it's lower light more…read moreintimate with the same food options. The last time we went they had a special menu with some high end options and it was delicious!!!! We had no idea and did not have a reservation and it filled up fast so we had to sit at the bar but the service and food was still great. Definitely look i to their special events and get reservations!
