Part of the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky, this quaint bar is attached to a hotel and well worth a visit. They put on live entertainment every night so you’re hearing some of the best local talent around whilst trying some amazing Bourbons. The food is pretty amazing as well, as is the hospitality.It has a past that goes back to 1779 so it is deeply ingrained with Bourbon history. Well worth a visit for the stories as well as the Bourbon.

3. Garage Bar
Specialising in pizza, craft Beer and Bourbon, Garage Bar s the place to come if you want a relaxed night out. They have an amazing range of drinks on offer, and their Bourbon list is too big to fit on their menu. Everything from the big players to smaller local brands appear here. The pizza is also pretty damn impressive, and who doesn’t love a good dram and a slice?View this post on InstagramAndry is so excited because it's Bourbon Heritage Month and he doesn't have to choose between eating or drinking his bourbon!

4. Against the Grain Brewery and Smokehouse
Like Gargae Bar, Against the Grain specialises in craft Beer, but they also serve some fine Bourbon. The atmosphere is lively and exciting and the staff and more than welcoming. The menu is exciting as well and you will definitely find something to enjoy, whether its Bourbon, Beer or food. It may not be as sophisticated as a lot of Bourbon bars, but this brewery is everything you look for in a good night out.View this post on InstagramA special island greeting from Motherhen!

5. Bourbons Bistro
This bar has a huge selection of around 130 Bourbons to choose from. They have been around since the 1870s and know a thing or two about how to serve good Bourbon. The food menu is pretty impressive and you have both big name Bourbon makers and smaller brands to choose from on the drinks menu. Wonderful atmosphere that will have you returning every time you’re in Kentucky.View this post on Instagram
