Neat Bourbon Bar & Bottle Shop

If you love bourbon and want to try some rare pours for favorable prices, this is a phenomenal place to go. Neat is not only a favorite place for us to take visitors, my wife and I also will pop in for a glass before a date night. This latest time, we were with some of my best friends who I met in Lexington and now live in Nashville. The husband loves bourbon, but the wife does not. She's more into wines, seltzers, and the occasional cocktail. Luckily there are options for every palette. I got the Sunny Glen for my first pour, which had a nice bite to it. I'm a huge bourbon enthusiast, so when I come here, I always try to get something new. I had never heard of this label, but it was so cool to get a pour of a 1989 bourbon that was only $16! My second was a Blanton's Takara Red that was only $15. There are not many places you can get a pour of Blantons for that price, and here you have options! They also have plenty of bottles for sale that you can check out. Whether you are a bourbon expert, curious with questions, or anything but...there's something here for you. The bartenders are knowledgeable and patient with customers who come armed with questions. This should be on anyone's short list if you're in Louisville for a weekend. It's also located right on Bardstown Road in the iconic Highlands. Could not recommend this place enough.

This spot is like biting into a piece of decadent dark chocolate. It's sexy and dark in the best ways possible.The atmosphere alone is something to marvel at, they have vintage bourbon themed decor along with plush chairs, leather couches, and intricate carpets.

Giving 2 stars for cleanliness and selection. The bar tenders were some of the rudest I've ever encountered. There were 3 working tonight when we came in. Two of them acted like it was a chore that others existed let alone were patrons. I'm so bummed as we drove far to come here and we are from the west coast.Follow up: the GM contacted me and we discussed the incidents in detail. He was kind, professional, and diligent.

We came here with a group of friends to catch up as well as have a few drinks. It's a great cozy atmosphere with good cocktails

This place is a must stop for any whiskey/ bourbon fan visiting Louisville. So much fun and nice service. Prices are good and there are a ton of options you won't see everywhere. Bartender was very helpful and gave a lot of suggestions for things to do around town. Interior is very nice and cosy.They have bottle shop next door as well

I have been to Neat multiple times. Their offerings for bourbon and cocktails never disappoint. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable and I have a great experience every time I darken the doors.

If you are serious about your bourbon, like a true bourbon nerd then you need to come here. What an awesome collection and some amazing old dusty. Well priced and they have things you will never see again. Please don't be the guy or gal that walks in and orders a Four Roses, which happened while we were they and not look at the menu or at least what's right in your face. This place is a gem. But don't tell everyone

This was a cool place to check out: Great drinks, a fun place to try different bourbons, and a chance to see some rare bourbons as well. They had a few cocktails made without bourbon as well (gin, tequila, etc.) for those that want to stick to clear liquors. Cool vibes that would be fun on a date night.

Good drinks, great ambiance. But the bartender was the rudest I've ever met. It was 2/25/25 at 6:30 pm. It was my gf's birthday. He was amazingly rude to us to the point we were commenting on it and purposefully moved away from him. I asked what butter washed rye was and he said "It's rye that's washed with butter". We were literally the only people in the bar, you don't have a second to explain butter washing?? Good venue, massive jerk at the bar. It was my gfs birthday and she insisted we leave bc of the bartender. Would not recommendEdit: The owner responded and was kind... I will give it another chance and update.

Amazing drinks, great atmosphere. One of my favs in town. Highly recommend giving it a visit.
