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

Great selection, super prices, clean. You can have lunch there. Very good and not expensive. We both had a deli sandwich with about a #of meat and cheese. SO GOOD. You can drink on premises. $6.99 for Blantons pours, beer and wine galore. Great gift sets. Wish it was in our town. read more

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! read more

Liquor Barn - the front of a liquor barn - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

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! read more

This place is AMAZING! Went in for a quick bottle of wine and came out with a cart full! Warning - The staff is so helpful they may even help you decide on what to have for dinner! read more

It's like a bourbon candy store. Never patronize Total Wine when a local liquor store is near. Knowledgeable staff and good prices.

There are many Liquor Barns in Lexington, this is one of the bigger ones and they have most anything that you need on the liquor side. They have a very good selection of bourbon and whiskey - remember all bourbons are whisky but not all whisky is bourbon. In Kentucky this is a thing. You can also purchases some tastings of liquor so you do not have to commit to purchasing a bottle of something that you may or may not like when you get home. On the weekends they have free tastings of liquor and wines that is nice too. The store is neat and clean has a great array of mixers and snacks. They always have great premade gift baskets so you can grab a quick gift if needed. Even if I am not on the hunt for something specific I will walk through this location just to see what they are featuring. The staff is friendly and helpful. This location is right off I-75 so it is super easy to grab something if you are looking to tailgate it is easy to grab all that you need to head toward Commonwealth Stadium! read more

Yes! This is Toys R Us for adults! Every and anything you can imagine pertaining to liquor is at this store. I have been searching for Oskar Blues Brewery items and they have 10 different kinds, when other places have none! The prices are so low, you will be happy when you check out. This place bigger than a grocery store. It also has grocery items for charcuterie, dips, gifts, barware, stemware, and SO much more! I wish Michigan had a Liquor Barn! Be sure to stop off when on Man O'War Blvd when passing through Lexington on I-75 In Kentucky! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Liquor Barn - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

How can they call themselves liquor barn if they do not have malt liquor in stock? I looked up one brand, Mickey's, and the website states that Liquor Barn at this location would have it. I asked a person on the floor and even someone at the customer service area and they both stated that they had no idea about that brand. I even went to aisle 11 where malt beverages were listed on the board above it. Nothing. Not a Steel Reserve or a Colt 45 in stock! Malt liquor. I would get it if Liquor barn did not have beer, but malt LIQUOR? read more

This place has everything you need for a party. It's even a grocery store with a huge selection of meats and cheese. I've never seen such a selection of liquor. I even found some non alcoholic beer here I've never seen or realized existed. They have a huge selection of bourbon balls. Love this place read more

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. read more

Although you may be able to purchase some of the items at another store for a little less money, you won't get the specialty items, the selection, or the many events available at Liquor Barn. The app is great to keep informed about all events and new items. I like that you can often times go to the tastings last minute if you decide to do so and don't have to get dressed up for the occasion. The staff in Beaumont Center has always been super helpful as well! 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

Great bourbon selections with many bourbons I have not been able to find in Ohio. Great stop on trip back to Ohio from Florida.

Great selection, found some bourbons that were priced at msrp and not the crazy secondary market prices. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Liquor Barn was my first experience with looking for and buying alcohol in Kentucky. We originally came here with the intention of picking up a few bottles of wine from a local winery (that is now closed, boo) for a friend that used to live in the area. We found the wine. And soooooo much other liquor! Amazing selection of local and imported liquors, beers, wine, and whiskey (yes that deserves its own label). The moonshine delighted me because that's not something you really see back in Chicago. Great prices, too. The staff is friendly and eager to assist, as well. The place also offers cheese, meats, utensils, and everything else you might need for a party event (that provably includes alcohol). Seriously, this place blows other liquor stores out of the water. At least, the ones I've been to. My only disappointment was that Liquor Barn did not, in fact, look like a barn. That would have been cool. Why don't they do that?? read more

I shopped at this store multiple times and I usually go with my partner and I usually bring my id in because I'm the one who is buying so this time I went in but and old racist man who probably don't even know what day it is was very rude and being a smart a$$ at check out " saying that he shouldn't even give me alcohol because of my age" but I am clearly legal age so not sure what's wrong with him . While talking about how he shouldn't sell me alcohol when I turnt 21 . Then he ask my partner for her ID which I said I'm who buying and she is shadowing me not doing anything nor talking he ask her what her birthday is . Without her even talking or even getting to talk he is going to say "oh she doesn't even know her birthday" in a rude way and it was very unacceptable. Then with that being said I will not take no sh!t from none so he needs help this isn't the 1950s no more. My partner is older 21 years old. So That was clearly uncalled for. I walked out and will never support this franchise again . Old w/mal The location is 1837 plaudit pI ,lex,ky read more

Extremely impressed with the wide variety of liquors they have and the organization of the store! Everything is so easy to find and if I cant find something there is always an employee near by to help me. Not only do they have a wide variety of alcohol but they have so many cheese and snack options as well. An occasions they even have sandwiches that you can order. I ordered the Italian sandwich and it was so good and had fresh ingredients. read more

I have to say this is one of my favorite places to shop for fun kentucky stuff, booze, deli items and snacks. This place has it all. First, there are a couple isles with kentucky made sauces, bourbon smoked salts and sugars and Ale-8 salsa. Then move along to the cheese. There are so many cheeses. This is also a good place to pick up local beer cheese and kentucky made pimento cheese. Next stop is the deli counter for prosciutto. I tend to get mine a little thicker than usual so it makes for a good meat tray. The olive bar is in this area. My favorite are the bleu cheese stuffed olives. After that, there is the snacks, crackers, chocolate, pasta, pasta sauce, unique spices, chips, dip, olive oil..basically any dry good you might need to make a great meal. So it is called liquor barn so naturally there is a boat load of wine, bourbon, beer and other spirits. There are very few things I haven't seen here. Although the buffalo trace bourbon cream is ha read more

Largest liquor store in the Commonwealth of Kentucky! Beer, wine, liquor, bourbon, cigars, groceries, cheese, mixers, and anything else you can think of - they have it! I always stop here for specialty beers that are hard to find as well as special edition and small batch bourbons. Quick and easy location to access and staff is always super helpful to find what you're looking for. 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

I mean, really, I don't know what else I could possibly ask of a liquor store other than maybe having it drive me home. They have a huge selection of alcohol and they offer free tastings sometimes. They also have a bar with reasonably priced cocktails so you can sip while you shop. In addition to alcohol, they have tons of mixers. To pair with the drinks, they sell chips, dips, charcuterie, cheese, pretty much anything you need to wine and dine your party guests. 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

Liquor Barn - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

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.

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

Liquor barn had an event unlike one that I've seen them do before. It was a bourbon extravaganza where they sold tickets for tastings as well as raffles. This was a 12$ event after Eventbrite charges and you got 5 sample tickets to taste things from bourbon, beer and wine. The raffles were for bottles of pappy van winkle that were going on every 10 to 15 minutes. They also had samples of some local food like deez nuts and Larry make beer cheese. The event seemed to have been put on rarely well but some things I feel like could have been changed for the better. The event lasted 9-1pm and they were having raffles up until then so if you went through your 5 sample tickets at 9 you were not allowed to purchase any more. There was one food truck there for 1500+. People and the biggest part of what I didn't like was how they took the winners inside. When your ticket was called you went to the front and waited until about 10 tickets were called and they then took the line through the crowd inside. Well inside they didn't recheck your ticket number from when it was checked outside (may have started after they saw there system was broken). We were walking through the crowd and a lady came up to someone in line and said I'll be your moral support then got inside and walked out with a bottle and not a winning ticket. Liquor barn employees were told so I hope they changed that later in the event. Now back to the positive, if you liked bourbon then this was great to taste ones you might not have before. You also had a chance to win a gift from the different alcohol vendors at the end with a drawing. After liquor barn was bought things have changed a little and I'm not sure if it's better or worse I guess time will tell. I gave this 3 stars for the event and improvement I think they could do and not for the store. 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
