My husband and I had meetings that ran over and managed to make it to the airport 10 minutes before boarding started for our flight. There was no wait and TSA was friendly and expedient in getting us through security (thanks pre-check!). This airport is always clean and with small terminals, it is easy to navigate. Best local airport!

Since there is no fee to enter any more, as there was when it was the old business, it can get crowded in the afternoon.

Really quiet and mellow and great for a departure drink. Grab a burger and order a flight. Not a bourbon drinker. No problem they have a beer on tap and various bottled beer and mixed drinks. But I recommend you try a Bourbon flight but tell the bartender your new and they will find something that you will like. All your food comes from across the hall at Chilis. So good food. And great drinks. Always plan accordingly and get to the airport early to allow for this stop. But be smart and don't over indulge before a flight. It's good bourbon and not your college day Jack Daniels in a solo cup.... Oh they have Jack Daniels too. Other key things to mention: plenty of charging areas for your phone and laptop. Also outside the restaurant is a private bathroom with plenty of room. Upstairs after security!

It's always a treat to fly into or leave from an airport that is not as big or busy as our New York…read moreairports. We arrived here at 3PM for a 5:30 flight to LGA which we knew was going to be delayed. We were the only group (four of us) that were at the counter. I mean... this was one quiet airport. After a quick check-in we waited for my wife's wheelchair and made our way through the TSA checkpoint. My quickest security check ever. We noticed many stores (lots of bourbon here and it seems that everyone is on that bandwagon.) They also had one really robust store here with many brands, sizes, etc... I wound up buying some take home at the Churchill Downs Store but was a little set back on the pricing. $45.00 for hat??? A fairly quick walk to the gate and we sat a waited. Internet is really good here and I had no trouble viewing some live video. After waiting a bit we decided to stop by Chilis for a quick bite before the delayed plane left. You can see that they're doing a fir amount of construction here which is good since this airport could use a bit of a facelift.

This is a great little airport. It has many amenities such as restaurants and businesses but…read moredoesn't come off as congested. There is plenty of seating in the airport and my flights weren't at capacity to where we had to fight to get on the plane. I even noticed the TSA agents seemed to enjoy their job which is not the norm in other airports. They greeted you, smiled, made small talk, and chatted amongst themselves. It was refreshing to see and experience. The seating seemed a little primitive as I didn't observe a lot of electrical/charging capability. I had to put my coffee on the seat as I went off and left it with my wife given lack of tables. My wife looked for a lounge but didn't locate any. I'm not sure if that was the airport as a whole or specific to Chase/AmEx cardholders. My daughter who is stationed in Italy and came to visit was complaining about the US coffee and I observed an Illy Italian coffee machine by our gate which made her smile. Love this aiport.

The service at the bar is excellent with both bartenders being very talkative and engaging. I ordered the Cheeseburger with Fries. My wife had the Grilled Romaine Chicken Caesar. We were here around 4:30-5:00pm on Monday and it was very busy, but all the service was very good. It's pricey, but, you are in an airport and this is only one of two restaurants in this airport.

Ambiance- well it's a restaurant inside an airport Service- now this is something. Matt was the dude behind the bar. It was a little busy but the kitchen was very slow. Took forever to get my breakfast. This girl ordered an omelette to go. She waited a good 30 minutes for her omelette at which point she was like my plane is boarding and I gotta go. Matt was like you seen how busy it is so you can go but you still gotta pay for omelette which took way too long to make. The girl was nothing but polite and Matt just kept on making comments. They finally got the omelette out for a to go order. After she walked out Matt was telling everyone that he thought they were going to brawl. Nothing but politeness from the girl, handled way better than most people. Dam sure wouldn't be paying crap if I didn't get my food in a timely manner. After the brawl comment Matt goes on to tell everyone at the bar that he had a girl that apparently never been in a restaurant before. Uncalled for. This girl was nothing but polite Matt kept pushing her to stay. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't miss her flight. People like that I don't understand, this girl never raises her voice and he just kept making sly comments. Matt if ya can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen! Don't get me wrong everyone else I have dealt with at bourbon library has been great. Matt on the other hand if he is here I will pass by!

Since this is a Kentucky airport, they have a great bourbon selection. The also have Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, which happens to be my FAVORITE beer! Its a local brewery (Kentucky Ale) that will age the beer the bourbon barrels for several weeks. If you've never tried it - TRY IT! There are only two restaurant (and a Dunkin Donuts) in the airport, so its either this or Mexican. Food comes out quick and you can now get drinks (including alcohol) to go and drink in the terminal (can't take it on the plane).

It was and not too hoppy for my taste buds. I'd give the beer three out of five stars. The restaurant had a ton of seating which was good as I believe this is the only sit-down restaurant in this small airport. I saw some folks ordering food but I ate prior to being dropped off at the airport. The bartender was friendly and let me sample the beer before I purchased it. There was a television at the bar so I could watch the football game. There was also a power plug right below the bar in front of my seat. This was a nice touch!

It's headed out by a local musician who plays nothing but sad songs, on the accordion! Definitely worth stopping in for.
