The Volstead Bourbon Lounge

Volstead Bourbon Lounge in historic Bardstown is a gem for any bourbon enthusiast! With over 400 bourbons to choose from, this place is a paradise for exploring rare and unique pours.The highlight of my visit was getting to try the Japanese release of Wild Turkey 12. It was absolute perfection--rich caramel sweetness, hints of nuts, and that signature Wild Turkey funk that only comes with age. Truly an unforgettable experience.The atmosphere is inviting, whether you're relaxing in the retro lounge or hanging out by the bar, and the staff is fantastic. They're knowledgeable, friendly, and great to chat with, making the experience even more enjoyable.If you're in Bardstown and love bourbon, Volstead Bourbon Lounge is an absolute must-visit. Can't wait to return!

Amazing experience when visiting Bardstown, KY, especially if you are into bourbon. The owner/bartender, Bodie, is super cool and informative, and the speakeasy atmosphere is genuinely unique. They have something like 1,100 bottles of bourbons and rye, ranging from pretty generic stuff up to some of the most rare, sought-after "unicorn" pours that may have alluded you in the past. This place is one of a kind - definitely check it out!!

We arrived in town to late to make it to any of the distilleries but coming to the Volstead may have been a better idea.The assortment of bourbons is amazing and prices are very fair.There are a great assortment of craft cocktails or the bartender, a wealth of knowledge, will make you what ever you would desire!Everyone in the place was friendly. I would love to come here on a regular basis!

Excellent selection of bourbon and the best cocktails. Buffalo Trace is their well bourbon. Everything is very reasonably priced. It's fun, delicious, and at a decent price point.

We were recommended to go to volstead by Kourtney at heaven hill and she was spot on. She told us to say hi to Bodie and he was great. Very knowledgeable and helped me pick bourbons. Their bottle display shows prices and they have some good hidden gems and probably several overpriced also (ehtsb for $30 as example). Check the shelves and online menu! I had two Japanese 4 roses bourbons that I'd wanted to try for awhile. One was $30 and 4 roses Black was $20 and my favorite. They seemed a little irritated that I compared the values out loud for my buddy and I but then ended up chatting us both up. Your best best is the $20/30 pours and there are several value finds. If you know bourbon value and pricing, you'll do well. If you're not sure, I'd stick to anything under $30 and you can't make any huge mistakes as long as you're having a good time. Cheers yall!

This has a great atmosphere very relaxed and laidback great drinks lots of options from mixed drink to bourbon pours with a very large selection of bourbon

Amazing atmosphere! Fantastic service and very knowledgeable bartenders. Best place to get a flight in Bardstown, so many options. Stop in for a drink or two, or three!

Intimate setting with tons of great bourbons to choose from. Great place to have drinks

Cool, speakeasy vibe with awesome vintage decor and a huge selection of bourbon. Smoke a cigar out front and relax inside with great atmosphere and awesome cocktails.

So many bourbons, so little time. For their flights you get 3 two ounce pours. I would rather have had 6 one ounce pours, to be able to experience more bourbons. I would also like to see more information on the website so i had an easier way to choose bourbons based on my palate preferences. The staff helped but with over 1000 bourbons & whiskeys they can't possibly know them all.
