We entered through a speakeasy type door to the rear and were met with prohibition era style decorations. We were seated by one of the staff members in a comfortable couch and chair room with a television that was playing film noir classics. There is a bar room that has chair and tables, and a huge selection of bourbons and whiskies. When I say huge, I mean huge! Check the QR code on the menu photo that I posted. I had the traditional Sazerac, followed by the bacon old fashioned. Absolutely amazing taste. Well balanced and easy to drink. My friends went wild with other drinks and bourbon pours. All of the drinks were memorable.. The drinks here are affordable, however, if you have a thick wallet, you can spend it on some rare bourbons or whiskies, and there are a lot of them. Definitely a place to try out when you are in Bardstown. If you are a whiskey lover, this is one place to check out.

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.

The selection is top-tier (easily one of the best I've seen in the Bluegrass State), but the hospitality is what sets this place apart. We ended up chatting with the owner, and he treated us like old friends who had been coming there for twenty years. It's rare to find a spot that has both a world-class whiskey list and zero pretension. It's the perfect atmosphere--historic building, great energy, and people who truly know their bourbon. Pro Tip: Pull up a stool, ask for a recommendation, and be prepared to stay a while. You're among friends here.

From the moment you walk in this place has so much charm and potential for whatever event is being held there! The bar display was beautiful ! A real class piece. We took some pictures as we entered the speakeasy entryway with nice lighting. The main room was so spacious and wide. We had room for a stage/band and about 45 tables of various sizes for seating, trees, wreathes, silent auction items and more! There was veggie and cracker tray out for a snack before the buffet opened. The restrooms were absolutely beautiful as well, clean and stocked through the event.
