Kentucky Bourbon Marketplace

Didn't partake of drinks at the bar, but David in the shop has excellent offerings of books and gifts found in very few other locations. David is very knowledgeable of the Bourbon industry and interesting locations in the area and will honestly tell you who has the best food, best cocktails, and sites you really shouldn't miss. He also has Bourbon resource books for those who want to pursue their knowledge into becoming a Bourbon expert.

What a great local experience! This is a bourbon tasting bar with a great little gift shop attached that makes for a great stop on any trip to Bardstown! Howard was our barkeep and educator. He did an amazing job of explaining all of the different flavors and characteristics of the bourbons and narrowing down the selection of 100 plus bourbons they had on hand to meet our tastes. You can tell both he and the other barkeep, Evylin, have a shared love of bourbon and want to help you fully appreciate the spirit. I genuinely felt they were excited to answer our questions and engage in a discussion about bourbon. This really is a one of a kind establishment that is both authentic and unique and I cannot recommend it enough!

Wonderful, quiet bar just off the main drag in Bardstown. We had a lovely evening with Hayes making excellent cocktails, and made some new friends around the bar. This will be my first stop next trip. There's also a nice gift shop and liquor store attached, open during the day.

Wonderful little bar with a large patio in the back. All the Burbons you could think to try are available. Flights or well made cocktails. The bartender is very knowledgeable and friendly. Wonderful establishment in a beautiful historic building.
