Omg!! The best liquor store in Bardstown. I never thought that a liquor store would be open at…read more9:00am! In a crunch, Keystone liquor store came through when we needed some souvenirs/gifts as we were leaving town. We found exactly what we needed. They have a lot of inventory and some cold items if you need them chilled. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a liquor store that has everything you need and more!

This may very well be the largest liquor store in Bardstown, Ky. If it's a chain I'm unaware…read more Something unique is a drive up window for purchases. Spacious parking lot that was clean. Signage is excellent just off the main city drag outside of downtown. When approaching the lot was empty and clerk was outside having a smoke. Inside was clean with a ton of bottles and nice bourbon selection with excellent pricing. Also a few store picks. However nothing hard to find really in the bourbon department. Those are kept behind the counter and not a great selection and pricey secondary pricing. The shelves were not fronted which drives me crazy and that just lazy of clerks to not move the bottles up. I ended up walking out empty handed, but probably should have purchased the Woodford Double Oaked store pick for $59. I would definitely return.

It's a bourbon lovers play land. Prices are a little higher then other places so do a research before hand so you have a little knowledge before purchasing. Protip: Wednesday is half price pours! Well worth it at those prices. Order: Weller Single Barrel (orange label) Never tried it. It was the only pour i needed to try to complete the Weller Rainbow. It was delicious. Only wish i could find one at MSRP out in the wild

They had unicorn bourbons and bourbons I can't find in South Jersey. Some I can get but I'm not paying 200% secondary prices. Our bartender Crystal was extremely knowledgeable and picked a few of my pours and I was blown away. We met so many good people that came to drink pours too. This place made my birthday something I'll never forget. I picked up a couple store picks as well as allocated bottles i can't get near me. Thank the Bourbon Gods they have this place for like minded people. We will be back.

This is my favorite dive bar in Bardstown and is worth a visit! They're kitchen rocks and makes…read morefresh hot fried food to perfection. Seriously, their onion rings and mozzarella sticks are excellent. Their daily specials always bring something new to the table, this time being a thick tasty grilled Mahi steak. I've had their lobster bisque a few times and don't underrate it - it's delicious! As for their famous burger challenge, the Fry-Way-to-Hell Burger is huge and covered in jalapeños, grilled onions, and multiple charred meaty patties. If you eat it and a basket of fries in 15 minutes, you win a t-shirt and bar infamy. Good luck There's karaoke, lots of pool tables, and a chill vibe that makes this place cozy. I'll only subtract one star due to the long food wait times, as I've been a few times where it takes ~1 hour to get food. However they work as fast as possible and just have a lot of heads to feed. So if you come here not in a rush and a mindset to enjoy good times with good folks, you should enjoy the Bluegrass Tavern.

There are many things about living in Lexington I miss. There are the normal friends and bars and…read morelocal eateries. But then there are the events that happen in Lexington which can not be found anywhere else. The Gala which ends the Kentucky Bourbon Festival every September is one of these events. This black tie event is a Bourbon lover's dream come true and costs around $150 per person. I was fortunate enough to go one year (I'm too poor to buy my own ticket but one year I was given a ticket by a friend). The event starts at 6:30 pm. You enter the event hall and are given a "tasting" bag. In other words, a cloth sac to put all of your loot in. The first stop is the tasting room where distilleries have a bar set up. There are usually many Master Distillers on hand to answer questions and sign autographs. Each distillery has most of Bourbon they make available and a special glass for the event. You are given a small amount of liquor in a glass to sip and if you do not like it, there are spittoons available to use. After you are finished, the glass is placed in your "loot" bag. If you are good, you can collect full sets of glasses (you should see our collection). The Maker''s Mark bar is always interesting, the year I went it was carved out of a solid block of ice. Following the tasting, you check your bag into the coat room and head into the dinner & dance hall. There is a toast with the official Bourbon of the festival and a gourmet Kentucky meal and dancing. Each table has a full bottle of Bourbon and there is also an open bar. The strangest part of the whole evening is what you see and hear. There are very wealthy people at this event, horsemen and women, politicians, jockeys, etc. They are all dressed to the nines. But what you hear is all of the glasses clanging in the bags as they walk around the tasting room to drink the Bourbon and eat the appetizers. Those tasting bags turn everyone into kleptomaniacs. Now that I think about it, it is well worth the $150 a person. If you are anywhere near Lexington, Kentucky or Bourbon County in September, you MUST attend this event!
