We know bourbon festival can make it a little harder than normal to find us so we hope this helps!!

We’ve highlighted the best route to get to us from 5th street. There will be a paid parking lot at Bardstown High School as well as a lot at St Joseph church (not the lot pictured).

If you’re still having trouble finding us, we have been assured by the festival committee that they will assist anyone who comes to any of their gates that are asking how to find us 😊

And if you haven’t got a reservation don’t worry, all walk-ins are welcome 💕

Come on in and have some great food and great bourbon 🥃
