WARNING: If you have kids with you, this is a bar only. Stay away. I walked in to check the place out with my son and was immediately told to leave. I really wish the power tripping A-hole bartender that was working would have been nicer. Especially in front of my kid. Don't assume people know the type of liquor license you have and that no one under 21 can enter. THERE WAS NO SIGN POSTED STATING THAT ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. Unless I'm wrong I found out after the fact that in Kentucky if an establishment only has a bar license under which they serve alcohol they are only allowed to have people 21 and over on the premises at all times.To the owners of the Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar. Please let people know YOU DON'T SERVE FOOD THEREFORE MINORS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Your website and Facebook page mention nothing about this. Adding a sign that states per Kentucky Law No Minors allowed would have been a help. Moral of the story, although the OKBB claims to serve hundreds of bourbons they certainly came up empty in kindness.

So much bourbon. So, so much bourbon.Spin the wheel of bourbon and try a bourbon you've never tried.That said, if you're looking for not-bourbon, this isn't really your place. They have a nice patio out back.

The Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar, located in the heart of Mainstrasse in Covington, is a wonderful, welcoming place. It has got a warm and cozy interior and for warmer weather, a lovely patio out back. You can have your bourbon neat or in any of a number of tempting cocktails they have available. Recently, I have enjoyed the Kentucky mule and the Kentucky claw, which are both super refreshing in hot weather. The bar has also got an affiliation with a high-end tequila, so there are tequila-based options on offer as well. Best of all, dogs are welcome inside and out. Your pet will be sure to enjoy a nice treat, courtesy of the friendly staff, who will put a water bowl out for them and are likely to have a treat handy behind the bar.

Wowza! I was wife of the month for taking my bourbon lover husband here for his 41st birthday. He brought his own cigar but they do sell them. You can smoke on the patio which is a decent size. They have sooooo many bourbons. My husband ordered a flight and really liked the OKB house bourbon. They sell bottles as well. Don't worry ladies, they have a shelf of tequila to choose from, I'm not with the dark stuff. I enjoyed myself.

While in search of our last round of whiskey, we stumbled upon this hidden spot. The staff here is exceptionally friendly, and their whiskey selection is fair wide. The Old Fashioned they served was simply great. The camaraderie among fellow patrons at the bar was a great experience. It's the kind of place where you can pop in, enjoy a couple of drinks, and leave with a smile. A truly great experience overall.

Just do it! If you are a bourbon connoisseur or even just curious, make this place a priority. The bartender, blonde girl who is awesome, is very knowledgeable. I'm sorry I don't remember her name, which is horrible because we spent several hours in there. She made great recommendations and great drinks. And, for a bonus, if you don't like bourbon, they do have other liquor and even a few beer choices. The atmosphere is just cool in this place.

Took a good friend of mine to this place because he is a bourbon fanatic. He walked in and his face lit up like a kids on Christmas morning. We made our trip there on a Sunday in the afternoon and it was dead. Good. That's the way we like it. We like to get to know the people behind the bar. Find out what they are all about. The owner happened to be behind the bar and I couldn't be happier. I'm just starting to get into bourbons and whiskey. Yes, there is a difference. Learn it. I did. He was super knowledgeable and guided us along our 5 hour journey in bourbon land. The pours they had ranged in price. There was so much there to take in. They even have their hand in creating bourbons themselves. Buy some merch. Support local. Leave with a smile.
