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

The downstairs bar has couches and bar stools and more comfortable seating for hanging out. You can get whiskey new and old for pretty good prices. Upstairs is the bottle shop where you can browse all kinds of spirits and buy bottles or sample from the bar. They have four shelves of bottles that rotate out priced at $3, $5, $10, $15 for 1/4 oz. I tried an expression from my birth year which was fun. 1/4 oz isn't much, so maybe get a double if you really wanna savor something. If you're a collector, you'll have a good time here.

It amazed me how much the vibe of this place changed during the time I was there. Around 8 it was…read morechill, romantic, and although the tables were filled, not very loud. 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.

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.

I could tell you how awesome the bourbon selection is but you already know if you've read the other posts. I could tell you about the atmosphere and the ambiance and how on a nice night there is nothing like it in the tri-state. But someone else surely has already mentioned that too. I could talk about Peter - the owner and how his stories must be made up or he has lived 9 lives bc there is no way one person could have so many border line unbelievable stories. Again, someone else has already mentioned him in other reviews. I could talk about Peter's wife who I've never formally met, but she table to table making sure everyone is having a good time and every dog has a treat - but I saw that mentioned too. I could talk about the craziness behind his Sunday morning bakery and how people line up down the street (LITERALLY) in hopes to get a croissant. Instead I'll talk about how you should go and check it out to support the bar and the wonderful owners. Good people run the place and the bar is second to none in my opinion, can't wait to get back there.
