    We came back and I tried the Buffalo Chicken Tenders. We started off this time with the Corn Dip and it was served in a hot cast-iron pan with plenty of delicious tortilla chips. It was certainly more than the three of us needed but we thought it was good. The breading on the buffalo chicken tenders wasn't what I remembered. Apparently they changed the recipe and I won't get them next time. They were tender all white meat battered in house. Next time I really want to try the fried fish as I have seen many positive reviews. Their onion straws are absolutely the best I have ever had. I look forward to coming back.

    Mozzarella Wedges- 5.9/10

    Rating: (4.1/5) The 859 Taproom and Grill has a great atmosphere with excellent service. We sat down, ordered drinks and an appetizer, and the mozzarella wedges were on the table within about two minutes -- seriously fast. Overall, the food came out super quickly, which was impressive. We went on a Sunday to watch some football, and even though the place was about half full, the kitchen was still pumping out food efficiently. The mozzarella wedges were good, though they could've been cooked just a bit longer. For entrees, we ordered the brisket grilled cheese and the taco salad with chicken. I probably wouldn't order the brisket grilled cheese again -- the brisket itself was very tender and juicy, but it had a smoky flavor that just wasn't for me personally. The taco salad, on the other hand, was excellent. The chicken was super tender and full of flavor. Portion sizes were big, and I'd definitely recommend trying the southwest ranch dressing -- it was a standout. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely stop by again if we're in the area!

    This place has plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sports. We stopped by to enjoy the UK game on this day. They have tons of craft brews to choose from and a full bar that has a great bourbon selection. The staff was steady with service. Not very personable but they were busy on this day. Looks like a great bar food menu but we didn't eat anything. Great atmosphere for a game.

    Stopped for lunch today. We had cheese curds for an appetizer - delicious! I had a grilled buffalo chicken wrap and side salad... both were excellent. The chicken tenders I snatched from my daughter's plate were really good too. Everything was fresh and the service was great.

    DISAPPOINTING! I have read and heard so much about 859's food, service and ambiance but it was not to be. We went on a Friday about 7:30pm. We were fortunate to get a table out on the patio as it was extremely loud, difficult to have a conversation inside. The problem was that not 1 but 2 tables were seated after us and got served before us. When our waitress finally came, (we had to ask another waitress to get ours) she took our drink order and started walking away. HOLD ON! We've been waiting and are ready to order. My wife ordered the monthly special, a Smashburger. I ordered a "Rise & Shine" burger. (I love an egg on a burger). Our waitress asked how I wanted it done. I said medium...but not to be...it was well. Ok that's the way it goes when you don't have an overall good experience. The only reason for 2 stars is that my wife's smashburger special was very good. (They are prepared ahead of time so there was no need to ask how you want it cooked)

    Stopped in to give it a try and didn't expect such a crowd! Many folks were there because it was a Bengals night! We had a short wait, but the staff was friendly. There were two of us dining. I got the chicken tenders with onion straws, and the other person got the buffalo chicken wrap and tater tots. We both ordered unsweetened iced tea. I wasn't a fan of the tea, so I exchanged it for a half sweet half suit. That was really good. We ordered the brussels sprouts as an appetizer and they were absolutely fantastic! Our meals came and my onion straws were cold and not very tasty so I swapped those for tater tots, which were delicious. My chicken tenders were also really good. My friend really enjoyed the wrap and tater tots as well. The service was a little on the slower side but again they were super busy. I will definitely be back since my experience was overall positive. The brussels sprouts are well worth it and I look forward to trying other menu items. Sidenote: it is family friendly, and good for small to larger groups.

    I absolutely love 859 taproom and I always recommend this place when I can! It's such a fun sports bar and with even better food and service. I tried their Brussels for the first time and they were soooo good! Can't believe I've been missing out. I also got the chicken wrap but Nashville hot style. I only gave it 4 stars because the rub was on the side and not on the chicken like I asked. Regardless, I will continue to return as I love many other items on the menu.

My mom has ate at Bourbon & Brew many times and recommended it, so we gave it a shot. This restaurant is centered in the middle of the gaming area. It features quite a bit of tables, bar seating, and limited booths. The booths are reserved for larger parties. They have a spot behind the bar for live music and have a huge TV above the bar for watching sporting events with many other smaller TVs around the whole area. They also have a scrolling board that will show upcoming game times/current scores. The ambiance is good for what it is. It was nice for us, but we were there before any live music and it wasn't super busy so we had a good experience without having to deal with a lot of background noise. Our service was very attentive and nice. The menu is pretty small. A lot of options that previous reviews spoke of are no longer on the menu. They pretty much offer limited appetizers, burgers, and some entrees. I would definitely check the menu before deciding to eat here to make sure there is enough interest across your group. Three of us ordered the Double Smash Burger and my girlfriend went with the caesar salad. The smash burger was good. Pretty much a basic burger, two patties and your typical fixings. It was a huge burger, so I cut mine in half. The burger came with fries as well. The meal with good just average. Nothing really special or over the top about it. I'd eat it again if I was hungry or wanting to watch a game, but not sure that I'd go out of my way to eat it again. My girlfriend said the caesar salad was good as well. The portion was huge, but it had a little too much dressing for her liking. Maybe something they should put on the side and let you put the amount you want. Overall I'd say this is a good option if you're planning on spending a lot of time gaming, betting on horse races, or watching a game at Turfway. If not, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again unless they offered more options on their menu, had rotating specials, or something that just gave it more appeal to come back. The food wasn't bad at all it just wasn't impressive.
