I found out about Second Sight Spirits recently helping a friend out with shooting a video. This is such a cool place with an awesome mysterious atmosphere. They allow you to rent out the space and this is a great spot to host events, meetings, or a special party. The drinks are great, well balanced, and they distill their own spirits! As someone who is more into mixed drinks than breweries this was a delight. The location is also really convenient being a few minutes outside of Covington. There is plenty of free street parking. Im so glad I found out about it! read more

I've never been to a friendlier, cozier, or cooler distillery/coffee bar! Their drinks are innovative-distilled and brewed in-house and the drinks menu rotates with the seasons, but not to worry-they also have a consistent cocktail menu of your favorites all year. Their drinks are crowd is friendly; sit at the bar, at a table, or relax into a vintage sofa. The owners do an amazing tour of their facility, with ample tastings of bourbons, rums, and more! Don't miss this gem with a mystical theme on Elm Street in Ludlow, Kentucky! read more

Second Sight is so fun! Everyone we met was super nice and welcoming. The decor in this place is so fun and very fitting for the name! We didn't get any food, just drinks. They do offer pastries on the menu we saw. The coffees were delicious but my favorite drink was the smoked limeade. Take the tour if you have time, it's worth it! PS the mustache rides are only $0.50! read more

Listen this is a diamond in the rough. Coffee, bourbon, and great folks. I had a spiked white chocolate mocha and it was amazing. The staff was probably some of the nicest, down to earth people I've met. Perk? The bourbon, rum, and moonshine are all absolutely delicious. It's got an awesome psychic, third eye vibe and we loved it. I'd love to go again around Halloween. read more

My wife and I highly recommend a stop at Second Sight Spirits on the B-Line in Northern KY! Their bourbon is young but tasty for 2-ish, aged in 15-gallon barrels. The spirits they distill, Rum, Absinthe, Bourbon, and American Single Malt are pretty good for a small operation and they work well in cocktails. Audrey, behind the bar, is a delight serving up tasty drinks. I left with a bottle of their Red Absinthe and their Smoked Cherry Rum. The draw is the place itself and their energetic co-Founder, Carus. It's like a show! So much fun. The decor brings to mind a carnival boardwalk with magic and fortune telling. I don't believe they serve food, but they have a mystery snack machine coming soon. We left having enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and the liquids we consumed. read more

We came for a coffee to go, but nonetheless LOVED the vibes of this place! Open and inviting with decor that matches the theme. They have a great coffee menu & you can add booze (should you choose)! They also have a great selection of cocktails & their house made product including bourbon & rums! We've purchased the smoked cherry rum from them in the past & it's delicious! Highly recommend! read more

When my wife told me where we were going, another bourbon tour, I was like OK, I will be a good sport and go along.... I could not have more wrong. We had so much fun. First off one of the co-founders/owners was the guide for the tour. He was a blast and very entertaining Just learning the how they founded the company and how they came to be was very interesting. Allow for about an hour and half for their tour. I can honestly say I have never seen a rick room (vs a rickhouse ). They may be a small distillery but their tour was one of the more fun ones I have been on. If you are looking for something different, and fun I highly suggest you stop off at Second Spirits. You get to enjoy bourbon, rum and moonshine... and maybe just maybe if you ask nice enough... they will share with you a cheese bourbon..... :) And you will have to wait until the end of the tour to find out the secret of the Giant Black Mustache. read more

Wow, wow, wow! Look out Mainstrasse, this place is the spot! In-house liquors, cool staff, and a unique ambiance drawing from 1920's mysticism culture. This place is almost too cool. Drinks are delicious! Specializing in bourbon, liqueur, and run. They also have a day-time espresso bar that my other half cannot recommend enough. Prices are excellent. This place deserves love, and I cannot recommend it enough. read more

This spot is in a super cute location on a little street. I found it as I was walking around. We walked in and were greeted right away by one of the owners. He was so helpful and kind. He even invited us to join the tour free of charge since we are from far away! I love the spiritual world and the decor was so fun! They are working on renovating some things so not everything was working, but I'm sure when they are ready to go it will be awesome! The tour was more of a presentation about the history of the distillery than a tour, but it was interactive and fun. The energy of the presenter was top notch. We also got to taste a few things. I'm not really into whiskey, but it was a fun experience to try it! read more

Great spirits! I had the Fizzy Apple with apple moonshine! The Oak Eye bourbon was very smooth. Loved the ambiance!

This feels more like a local neighborhood bar than a distillery. It is wonderful! The drinks we had were on their seasonal menu. They were beyond delicious, and a surprising amount of ingredients to create some very unique flavors. They incorporation of their spirits allowed us to see the various takes you can enjoy them in. I really enjoyed their take on a whiskey sour. The bartender was super nice! We enjoyed her, plus she is a great conversationalist. I think the best part was our conversations. She made us feel like we were regulars. It is always a joy feeling like a local, and not a tourist. I can't express this enough. It feels good! Parking is on the street. Come in and enjoy! read more

Booked a tour here for myself and two guests out of town. This was the best distillery tour I've ever been on. The people that run this place are just honest, funny, good old fashioned entrepreneur human beings. The liquor was fantastic , the cocktails were top notch, and the people were the icing on the cake. Honestly, I hope everyone in the area here comes and supports this business. I know I plan to take all future guests here for a one of a kind experience! Thank you and God bless ! Cheers! read more

We stopped by this place cause we had some free time and thought to check this place out First of all the owners were very hands on and very nice, one of the owners we're actually the person giving us the tour. He was very funny and you can tell the passion from his voice! I learned a lot from their history and love the theme of their place. I bought a cocktail which you can drink while on the tour, small place but big ambition! Hope they make it big. We love the hazelnut liqueur during the tasting so we bought that, we plan to stop by again to get more when we're in Cincinnati again! read more

We dropped in for a tasting and coffee drink - both of which were awesome. Molly our bartender was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. I loved the Spiced Cherry Rum, the Hazelnut liquor, and the bourbon. My cocktail, the Smoking Jacket, was part of the fall menu and was great. I'll definitely be back to this craft distillery. read more

"If we're going to be small, we may as well be weird." That really does describe the team behind Second Sight Spirits. When you've got two best friends from high school, still working together after 20-some years, and being open to trading, bartering, and collaborating with other people, you definitely have something interesting going on. Throw in Zoltaire (that mustachioed, turban-wearing fortune teller from the machines), stories about partying with circus folks, and Nick Fury turning a bottle of booze into a Molotov cocktail, it definitely gets weird. Tastings and tours from $10, cocktails from $5, and some pretty cool shirts in stock too! read more

A friend of mine came into town and wanted to do the bourbon trail. I didn't want to travel far from Cincinnati and also had to book tickets last minute, which led us to this hilarious and excellent distillery. Carus is an amazing host and is excellent at forming quick connections with an audience.This place is relatively new, and that gives them the advantage of being able to do these small tours with the founder. There were about eight of us in the tour group. It was my first time doing a tour, but other people had been to well over twenty. All of us loved the experience and I've already recommended it to half of my friends. I'll definitely be back because the bar was an excellent place to hang out while I sobered up from the specialty cocktail and tasting. read more

You don't want to miss this place! We've toured the majority of distilleries on the Bourbon Trail and Bourbon Craft Trail and finally made our way up to the Northern KY area this weekend to knock out six more. Second Sight Spirits was by far our favorite. We were lucky enough to have one of the co-owners, Carus, as our guide. He shared the unique story of how he and his best friend leveraged their diverse backgrounds (notably, behind the scenes of the Beatles Cirque de Soleil's set design) to create this small but not-to-be-overlooked distillery. Their talents certainly shine through in the one-of-a-kind design of the distillery and accompanying lounge. The moonshine (especially the honey and apple pie) is delicious and the bourbon is great too. Highly recommend a visit to Second Sight! read more

So fun and right across from Bircus! We tasted all of their bourbons and they were really good. Also got to eavesdrop on a tour that was being led around the place, there are some great stories here.

Rick and Carus were fantastic! Our small group was only in town on a Thursday, when closed, but Rick and Carus welcomed us in. Learned a lot about their approach and local roots. Loved the still and crystal ball. Sampled and bought a bottle of 2-year Oak Eye, that was a solid pour and not grain forward. Well done guys! read more

Love this place and the guys behind the scene. The variety and selection of bourbon and other spirits (rum, spiced rum (one of our faves), etc) is on par or exceeds the old standbys. Check out their distillery now! I recommend checking out Groupon for discounts on their tasting tour or just rolling the dice and visiting for a sample and possible bottle purchase. Speaking of bottles, I really like the square shape of their bottles. Ha ha This is a great place to start a bachelor/ette party or some other special occasion. read more

We stopped in for a tour and tasting and also to get our Kentucky Bourban Tour stamp. The tour was amazing and we had a blast with the guide/owner. I can honestly say that this was the first time that I liked all of the samples on a tasting. They turned us on to the B-Line Tour and now gave us more to do in the area. A huge shout out to the staff which were all too notch. read more

This is a great little distillery. The people here are super friendly, and helpful. I love the back story on the owners, and how they started.

Was wanting to take my friend to a couple local distilleries for his bachelor party, and knew this was one place we had to go. I had been before for a smaller tour but with a big group of people (Yelp event). Was hoping to come back and experience it with my friends. I emailed their contact info (on short notice), and they returned my email that day, accommodating our schedule. Free tour and tasting, which is awesome. I won't give the background to the place (you just gotta go tour and listen for yourself), but it's great. Two friends who are putting it all into their business, including making and bartering for everything in that place. It's a great story. The still that they have, the decor, and setup are worth seeing in person. The products are high quality, and being so small and independent, they can experiment with tons of different flavors. If you like rum, this place is great. The bourbon they are producing is top notch as well. I expect them to be winning awards and growing in the coming years. If you are into craft distilling, you need to stop by and see this place for yourself. won't be disappointed. read more
