The Bar at Willett

“Willett was our absolute favorite tour that we went on during our trip to Bardstown. Our guide was so personable and knowledgeable, and I especially loved that they space out the tastings rather than doing them all at once. This really helped prevent flavor fatigue and kept the tour engaging. Booking a reservation at the bar is an absolute must. The egg salad sandwich was phenomenal, and my husband said the pan con tomate was the best he's ever had. Highly recommend ordering and Artichoke Hold at the bar as well.”

“Colin and team created an amazing experience for us during a stop on the trail. His knowledge of spirits brought some exceptional cocktail options to our group. The craftsmanship shows through from the aesthetic to the taste. Great stop to whet your whistle!”

“I couldn’t recommend this place more!! We came here as a group of six for my fiancé’s bachelor party and tried everything on the menu. It was more than plenty to feed the entire group and as such a fun way to try so many different dishes. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and the service was superb. The grounds themselves are also gorgeous, so I highly recommend paying a visit if you’re looking for good food and drinks in Bardstown!”

“We had heard a lot about the food at the Bar at Willett Distillery, and we really looked forward to it! Someone wrote: "... the episode for the best burger? Well this is the burger. It burger lived up to the hype." ... so couldn't wait! Well, it seems they change up the menu, and it wasn't on it. Bummer! But they had other nice small plates, so we settled on the cheese plate (crackers, pickled beets, grainy mustard, marmalade and salami). It was nice, but was a little skimpy on crackers and salami, although the onion marmalade was amazing. Also, the atmosphere was wonderful up in the bar. The room is great, and just small enough to be cozy, plus you can sit outside on the wrap around balconey. Lastly, the staff was so friendly! If you’re going to Willet distillery for a tour, you must treat yourself and dine at The Bar at Willet.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The bar at Willett is a must-visit! The cocktail menu features innovative drinks that showcase their fantastic bourbons, and I loved the signature cocktail I tried. The small plates were equally impressive, especially the egg sandwich—hands down the best I’ve ever had! To top it off, the cheesecake was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. The knowledgeable bartenders were passionate about their craft, enhancing the overall experience. The combination of delicious food, expertly crafted cocktails, and attentive service made for an unforgettable evening. I can’t wait to return!”
