"What a gem. Wasn’t expecting to meet a relative of Pappy VanWinkle. Had a great Weller flight that included CYPB which I have been wanting to try. Great night."
"Who would have known while traveling from out of state and making a simple reservation via text, my husband and I, along with another couple, would stumble upon this amazing bar and end up friends with the owners by the end of the evening. Pete and Kim were so very warm and welcoming. Their bottle collection of bourbon was beyond impressive. Pete’s vast knowledge of the history of the area and bourbon in general was outstanding. Definitely get the brownies. We had such an amazing evening, we returned the next night for a second visit, and had just as awesome of an experience. The servers were so warm and friendly as well. The charcuterie was fabulous. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!"
"This place is simply the best! Pete, Kim, & the rest of the staff are so friendly. Pete has so much knowledge he’s willing to share about bourbon in general and the local area in particular. Needless to say the selection of bourbons is unreal. Literally almost anything you want from Jim Beam White to all the Pappy’s, Willet Purple Tops, and everything in between. Don’t sleep on the food either. The brownies & charcuterie board are also both amazing."
"By far one of the best bars in northern Kentucky. Everything from the bourbon selection to the friendliness of the employees and atmosphere were incredible. Fair prices on some of the rare bourbons and they had a shelf of bourbon bottles for sale as well. They have limited space and limited hours as well so be sure to call ahead for a reservation if you want to guarantee a table. This is a can't miss!"
"If you enjoy bourbon and are in the Newport Kentucky area on a weekend, this place is a must. Heck, if you enjoy bourbon and aren't in the area, make a trip of it. Do get reservations as from what I gathered the bourbon bar is only open 10 hours a week (Friday and Saturday 6-11 PM). Peter is awesome and the collection he maintains and shares (at appropriate prices) is quite literally the best in the world. He can also share some bourbon history and bourbon is in his blood (even when he's not been drinking - ask him about it). What an experience."
