Awesome place!! It is so clean and huge! We found everything we were looking for and more! Wish we lived closer but we will stop in the next time we are in Lexington! The staff are super friendly and helpful!
I used to take this place for granted when I lived in Kentucky, but on my last few visits back, got to appreciate one of these retail meccas, especially since it was a nice sight to see so many other options for bourbon that haven't made their way out west (yet). I love this spot mostly due to their food selections, large scale displays, and their small pour options that you can enjoy in store. In April, I stopped by with my husband and we got to try some highly allocated products at a fraction of the cost (1 oz pours). And I'm talking about stuff that is in extreme scarce supply...simply amazing! They also have some advertised flight specials on printed menus and on their a frame chalkboard signage in front of the store. The pour bar is adjacent to the meat and cheese/deli bar and both are equally popular. You can also find nice appetizers, charcuterie items, desserts (found some amazing Kerns Derby Pies and tarts), mixers, drinks, beer/wine/spirits, alcohol themed apparel, and accessories. In the past, I was able to purchase some drinking glassware and even some highly coveted Ale-8-One! The weekends do have sampling events, and on the weekend that I went in April (during the Keeneland Spring meets, so a busy time), it was full of samplings, with demos on both spirits, mixers, and sauces. They do have some great pricing, but need to compare and contrast some pricing for certain items. Definitely the spot to stop by if you're in the area. Highly recommended. I also appreciate the help of the staff when it comes to spirits suggestions, or even random questions about what to do or where to go. See ya next time!
this is a really big liquor store or grocery store. Whatever it is I love it. They got snacks. Just the right amount. Everything that you would need for a late night run.
Stopped here while on a road trip back from Buccaneers-ee's. Great liquor store. Very clean and professional staff. This store is in a very nice neighborhood. Was reading some other reviews and was hoping we picked the right store. First thing I did when we got there was to get the wife a good pour of Blanton bourbon Figured she would be more willing to snag a good bottle. I am free Cincinnati and this place was worth the drive. Already planning another visit.
Made a visit here to check out the wine selection to make mimosas. Since it had been a while, I had time to walk the entire store. As I did, many employees stopped to ask if I needed help. They were all very friendly and chatted about the best dry wines to make mimosas. They even suggested a variety of wines that would be great for varying occasions. It was suggested that I check out their sales items and bundled gift suggestions. The store was orderly and the overhead music selection was top notch.
A guy told us that he bought the DRF or Daily Racing Form that Dad & I read daily at the Liquor Barn here in Kentucky. Literally around the corner from us, we asked the cashier there where is it located cause my Dad couldn't find it in the store. Instead of saying, 'Let me check, I'm not sure.' He does nothing & says 'I don't think we sell that.' Dad said can you call your supervisor & check for us? Supervisor was A+! Even the store is better than 'Total Wine' & 'Lee's Liquor' in Vegas! The supervisor brings one DRF to us & sees dad's Veterans Card as he's paying for it. He says thank you for your service & gives us a discount. Great service!
A barn with liquor, what does anyone have to be unhappy about? Loads of selection! Good prices on booze (not party supplies).
Some would say that Disney World (or Disney Land, depending on your coast) is the happiest place on earth.. I would disagree.. I say it's the Liquor Barn in Lexington, Kentucky. Immediately, I told my husband this has to be the happiest place on earth and he could not disagree with that sentiment! Driving around Lexington, my husband and I spotted billboards advertising for the Liquor Barn. We happened to be be staying in the area and went hunting for this local landmark of all things liquor as soon as we found our hotel, which just happened to be be very nearby. What a score. We found it, but nearly passed it in traffic (though I don't see how as it's a gigantic building with the name Liquor Barn emblazoned across it-duh- impossible to miss), which made my husband practically stop traffic in an effort to get to it. At any rate, we turned around and made a beeline for the Liquor Barn (aka Disney for adults). It felt as if we had located the Holy Grail... I'm only half-kidding. Aisle after aisle, premium spirits lined the shelves - and at extremely competitive prices. Seriously, the selection was awesome and the prices on bourbon and whiskey were rock bottom. While the pricing was bottom of the barrel, the quality was anything but. Truthfully, we both had a terrible time choosing only one bottle- so we didn't and opted to get some more. We wound up picking up bottles of Old Forrester, Woodford Reserve and Jack Daniels, as well as snapping up some great minis (Fireball, Southern Comfort and much more) for the hotel room. Yes, we made sure that we had a nicely stocked mini bar. Oh, what a fun-filled night!!! Other than whiskey and bourbon, there was a great selection of vodka, tequila, rum, mixers, wine, craft and imported beers, champagne, hard ciders and bar accessories. Elsewhere, we found the clearance section (yippee), a huge walk-in humidor for the cigar connoisseur and even a deli section for groceries and snacks. It truly was the happiest place on earth- you could literally eat and drink on site. Prices were great and selection outstanding. Customer service was pretty great, too. My husband is so impressed, he actually added the app to his iPhone even though we don't even reside in KY. Now, we are planning a road trip specifically to Lexington just for the sole purpose of visiting the Liquor Barn again.
If you are anywhere near Lexington, this is an absolute must. There is even a deli and whiskey bar inside. Where else can you try shots of expensive whiskeys from all over Kentucky. Huge, Clean, and Excellent customer service. A complete one stop shop. read more

A few years back when my husband and I were on a road trip to the Smoky Mountains my bourbon loving husband requested we stop in Lexington specifically to visit the Liquor Barn. And OMG. It's been in our list of places to return since. This summer we were on our way to Charleston and passed through again. Somehow we remembered the route off the highway even without looking at the map (you remember what you love). It was good to be back! As my fellow Detroit Elite Kitty K said, this place IS like Toys R Us for adults. So much booze. Aisle after aisle. It's truly the most impressive liquor store I've ever been to. And, given its location in Kentucky, it definitely caters to bourbon drinkers specifically, but you can also find loads of other spirits as well as beer and wine. And the prices are about as low as you can legally find. Now, I like a beverage now and again but my vice is food, sweets in particular, so I love perusing the market aisles here, picking up unique bourbon infused chocolates, Kentucky made candy, etc. Clearly I got more than a few bourbon balls, and discovered the Ruth Hunt candy brand and their amaaaazing pulled cream candy. I also got a derby pie from the frozen section to enjoy in my hotel room later that night. They also carry savory snacks, have a nice selection of cheeses and charcuterie, a deli counter to get sandwiches, and a humidor for cigar lovers. This time my husband came armed with a list and was able to narrow it down to one specific bottle he was interested in. It was hard to not want to buy up the whole shop but given how many bottles we already have on our liquor cart at home we couldn't justify getting any more. But you better believe once those clear out we'll be back to restock! read more

I've never been at such a huge liquor store in my life. They have countless options of your favorite liquor brands throughout the store. I go to a lot of whiskey & tequila tastings but I don't always find what I'm looking for at my local liquor store so I was happy to find alcohol not sold in Columbus.The staff was friendly, attentive & answered all my questions. Will be stopping here again when I'm back in town. Side note: Please have an idea of what you want to buy ahead of time or you'll end up like me who bought something from damn near every isle as if there was a Black Friday sale just cause I was excited to find so many things in one place ;-) read more

Really like this liquor barn location - they've got a deli where you can order $1 hotdogs loaded with tomatoes, pepperoncinis, sauer kraut, you name it! They also offer other deli options, like BLT, club, and chicken salad sandwiches. In addition to a large beer menu (~20 beers on tap), they offer wine by the glass, mimosas, bloody Mary's, and even screw drivers. We went here to watch UK play Tennessee in basketball after we found that all the nearby bars and restaurants were packed. Had a really nice time! Totally recommend stopping by for a pint while you shop or catching your favorite sporting event and staying for a couple. read more
This is a liquor store, of which they have an excellent variety. Pretty much everything you could want, including local wine selections. I believe they also sell home brewing equipment and ingredients. I've purchased that here in the past, the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They don't just sell booze. They also sell a wide variety of party supplies and specialty foods. It's a great place to find an interesting cheese or international dessert. You can find cool sales from time to time as well. They also sell Kentucky themed items; derby, basketball, horses, bourbon, etc. read more
When we went out to dinner tonight I saw the mecca of Liquor Barns. I thought the one on Beaumont Centre Parkway was top drawer, but then I saw this location. I have never seen a liquor store so big. I had to walk out of the parking lot and across the street to get a picture of the entire building. (See posted pictures.) Mom went inside to get whiskey and I said outside with my nephew. When Mom left, I got my turn. She thought I wouldn't come out --- she had seen the wine selection and she knows how much of a wine snob I am. The wine selection was excellent, as well as the liquor and beer/ale selections. I was very restrained, and bought no wine. It was easy since you can't take wine on planes anymore. Wish there were Liquor Barns outside of Kentucky (they have 6 locations, 3 in Louisville and 3 in Lexington.) read more

Bourbon tasting back in the deli section is so much fun! First time I have gotten to try Whistle Pig whiskey Very Smooth I must say not bad for outside of Kentucky. I love Liquor Barn's selection of spirits and party items. If you are throwing down a Shindig this is The place for eating utensils as well as meats cheeses, nuts, crackers and chocolates. An extra plus is the large humidor of cigars......Heaven in a cedar box!!! Takes me back to childhood smelling my dads cigars!!! Love this place!!! read more

This place is one of the best liquor stores I have ever been in. If you are looking for Bourbons, including those hard to find ones, then Liquor Barn is your go to spot. First off, this place is gigantic and I could have easily spent a couple of hours in here just wondering around and looking at everything they have. From crackers to cakes, from beer to bourbon if you want it they have it. This place is super organized and super clean. You can easily find what you are looking for in a matter of minutes, or you can be like me and wander around and need to be put on a time limit to leave :-) The staff is super duper friendly and helpful! We spent a good twenty to thirty minutes in the bourbon aisle with an associate who walked us through multiple different bourbons and helped us make our selections. Tastings are available for a small fee. Prices are very competitive and they have some great sale prices! I sooooo wish we had one of these closer to Cincinnati! However, I will definitely stop in here again! read more

If you are looking for a liquor store look no further. This is one of the largest stores I have ever seen. They have almost anything you would need in the way of party supplies, foods, cheeses along with any kind of liquor, beer or any alcohol. It is absolutely amazing. Even if you just want to walk around and look at stuff you will not believe what you see. read more
I was in the United States Air Force many many moons ago and I had the privilege to live in Germany. Germany is known for Sausage and Beer, well it is to me. I lived in a town called Bitburg and my apartment was directly across from a brewery that makes Bitburger Beer. I fell in love with it because the locals swear by it and I'm most places it your only option. After leaving Germany I've been searching the states looking for this product. I manage to find a few bottles but it was the American import versions which is more bitter than the overseas product. I've been to this place many times but never when my Germany beer cravings are on ten. So needless to say I found my beer sitting on a massive wall of not so popular Germany beers. If you can't find what you are looking for here you are either very picky or looking for some homemade mountain hooch that your cousin billy made in the backyard. However I'm sure if you ask the manager he/she may have connection to uncle bully and he can get you a few bottles. This place is the holy grail of package stores. read more
