Again, what a marvelous place to enjoy your bourbon drink in a very relaxed environment. 2024 was…read morethe last time we were here and it felt just as welcoming then as it did now in 2026. The wealth of knowledge with both Austin, our Bartender and Dave, Owner, is amazing. Thanks to them, we walked out of there quite happy with our tastings. With the huge selection of Bourbon, right in front of us, we were able to ask questions about any bottle we spotted on the shelf. We gained a lot more information about Bourbon. THANK YOU Austin & Dave !!! Yes, we will stop here EVERY TIME we travel to Frankfort, KY. Hoping it won't be another 2 yrs.

We pulled up to Benson Valley only to find it closed, so we decided to give HOC a try instead --…read morebest detour ever! This place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming. The staff provided great whiskey conversation and shared so much interesting history about the community and the distillery. It really made the tasting feel personal and special. We had the opportunity to sample an incredible lineup: * Weller 12 * Rip Van Winkle 10yr * Castle & Key Rye * Peerless Double Oak * Benson Valley Bourbon Every pour was smooth, flavorful, and clearly high quality. The pours were generous and the explanations for each one added so much depth. If you're into whiskey (or just good conversation and local history), HOC is a must-stop. We left smiling and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend! Thanks again to the team at HOC -- you turned a closed door into one of the highlights of our road trip!

Side wax one the best corn bread muffins I've had in while. Nice selection of local beers. Friendly and fast staff, kitchen was fast at pushing out some good meats and comfort food. Small inside dining, packed in, but still nice, outdoor patio with bags area, tuck away but worth the trip.

When you're traveling the Bourbon Trail in this area, finding a place to eat between distillery…read moretours can be surprisingly difficult. Luckily, we came across this restaurant and were able to make a reservation for lunch between our tours. I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance, as dining area is limited. The service was quick. We ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich. My spouse was happy with the burger, but unfortunately, my chicken sandwich was a bit too toasted. My first bite was mostly fried breading, and the chicken itself was quite thin and didn't feel as substantial as it should have been. That said, this isn't necessarily a five-star dining destination, but it was a convenient option when we needed somewhere to grab lunch between distillery visits. I would recommend it primarily for the convenience, especially if you're spending the day touring the Bourbon Trail.

We doubled our pleasure and continued making our way through the shops having shared the experience of discovering a new favorite in Bardstown.

Luckily, I had no issues finding parking during my visit. Reservations are available online, but by the time I decided to book, it was too late. We decided to take our chances and showed up without a reservation. After ringing the bell, we were warmly greeted by the hostess, who was able to seat us in the cozy couch area. Our server, Francesca, was wonderful and gave us some great drink recommendations. We ordered a few drinks and settled in to enjoy the experience. Even reading through the menu was fun--they have some unique rules that definitely add to the speakeasy atmosphere. The only downside was that the party seated next to us was extremely loud, which happened to go against one of the rules. Unfortunately, their volume didn't seem to be addressed. Aside from that, we absolutely loved our drinks and had a great time. Overall, we're so glad we got to experience this place. It was a fun and unique experience, and we're definitely thankful we made the visit!

New spot on St. Clair Street!…read more I happened to hear about this place on the Frankfort Takeout page on Facebook and made a trip for a light dinner and drinks after work. There weren't many people. I feel that many don't know about this place yet. Lots of light bites to choose from, such as pretzels and beer cheese, scones, soups, grilled pimento cheese. Everything was tasty and priced well. The atmosphere is charming and the owners are very friendly. I felt like I was sitting by a fire in a real Irish pub. Park your car and walk along this charming area of Frankfort and pop into Mortimer Bibb's for some drinks and friendly conversation. Grab a giftcard on your way out to spread some cheer to any fellow pub lovers! Cheers!

The property is absolutely beautiful, and you immediately get a sense of luxury as soon as you walk into the check-in area. Before our tour, we ordered two drinks, and both were delicious. Our tour guide, Sydney, was fantastic--she was knowledgeable, informative, and very relatable. When we reached the tasting room, she guided us through each sample and shared some great insights along the way. The gift shop had a great selection of souvenirs, and we loved that there was also another bar where we could order additional cocktails, along with a few small snack options. Overall, Woodford quickly became one of our favorite stops on the tour. We highly recommend visiting if you're in the area--and definitely make a reservation in advance!
