Great atmosphere , first bourbon bar in the area so lots of history, and comparable prices.

By 10 or so, they were packed, happening, and high energy! The sound levels was pretty loud but you could still have a conversation no problem. The staff were very efficient and had great recommendations if you don't know what you want or want to swap out a liquor in a drink. Had a great conversation about Studio Ghibli and the graphic novel Uzumaki, if that tells you anything about the staff vibe Purple Rain - great balance of lavender to citrus. I tried this on a whim and absolutely loved it! Mr. Blue Sky - this also had a nice balance of tartness and sweetness. Not too much on either side and made with real blueberries I hear. This Mainer approves!

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.

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!

We went into this expecting the experience to be an absolute shoo-in for a fabulous speakeasy vibe,…read morebeverages and experience. We arrived mid afternoon and were the only customers there, which we were just fine with. The bartender was incredibly friendly and offered a lot of advice and his opinions on several of the bourbons. The more we talked to him, it seemed that he didn't quite know his bourbons, which is fine, because you need to start somewhere, but he also didn't seem to have his cocktail skills perfected either. Unfortunately, their website did not match what was currently being offered. I was excited to try one of their seasonal cocktails butt was told it was not available as that was the previous month's availability. I decided to go with an old fashioned instead but was sorely disappointed as it just fell flat and didn't seem to be in the bartenders wheelhouse. My boyfriend tried a cocktail as well but experienced the same letdown. We had read great reviews on Goodfellows pizzaria and did place an order but will review that thru the pizzeria itself. While the bar itself has the potential to offer a fun vibe and could entice you back for more, that was not what we experienced and will probably not return any time soon.

I attended the Wiseguys bourbon raffle - great place, but the event was badly organized. The…read moreBourbon prices were insane, the organizers didn't announce when check in was, and apparently turning the loud music down so people could hear the person without the microphone making announcements was too difficult. Their response? Turn the music up louder. It was much better organized in 2024, I hope Wiseguys does better. People were leaving because it was too hot, too loud and too crowded. Oh yeah - the rancid beer that my friend was served was epic and apparently they (Wiseguys) were selling regular Blantons as "barrel picks" and upcharging them.

The charring they do to their barrels brings forward such an amazing vanilla note that runs through all their whiskeys... it just hits my palate the right way. Whether it's their straight bourbon, single barrels, single malt, or specialty releases, pretty much everything I've had from New Riff is excellent. The distillery itself is a wonderful experience, their staff is always amazingly, friendly and fun to talk to and the third floor bar is a blast. Looking forward to many many more bottles from New Riff.
