Imagine Prohibition, 1920: The music was jazz, the booze was flowing, and the cops turned a blind eye. Step back in time with us and enjoy a variety of Bourbon Cocktails while you socialize with locals and travelers alike! The Blind Pig Bourbon Speakeasy was born and created just around the corner from The Blind Pig Bourbon Marketplace and the Blind Pig Bourbon B&B. The Speakeasy bar is currently, secretly tucked away in Bardstown proper, and proves to be a bourbon cocktail bar known for the quality and artistry of its drinks while evoking the mood of the 1920’s-30’s speakeasy.

This is a must do when in the area. It is rich with history. King Louie, Abraham Lincoln, and Jessie James are just a few of the famous people who have stayed and visited this establishment. The building is fascinating and the bourbon selection is top notch -- W.L. Weller is on their bourbon list. Impressive! The staff is friendly, the drinks are wonderful and there was a talented band playing. Overall, great experience.

Fun local atmosphere with lots of bourbon options. I highly recommend this establishment. The music was great and the people in the community have Southern charm you would expect. :)
