    Really fantastic selection of bourbon, and I do not say that lightly. Had some fantastic dusty bottles, along with a Gold Rush. All excellent! The bartenders were two women, which I loved seeing at a bourbon bar. Both were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made a great cocktail. This place is all about the selection though. Go here for a relaxed environment and array of old pours. Would be a great place for a cigar, but it's a non- smoking venue.

    Pretty sure I was sold fake Blantons or a bad bottle. I visited the bar on 8/12 from out of state. I bought a bottle of the black label Blantons they have. Assuming it was good I didn’t think anything of it as the guy went to the back to get it. I got back to my state on 8/13 and started to put it away. I opened the box and notice that the see was broken. As I looked at the whiskey in the bottle there is floaties in there. I’m not sure what the situation is with this bottle but this is just a warning for others.

    This place is absolutely amazing! Easily the best bourbon bar I've ever been to. Fantastic prices on pours of some old, dusty bottles and allocated bottles. I will be back here every time I return to the Louisville area. We went on Saturday & Sunday nights and the bartenders were extremely knowledgeable both nights introducing us to some unbelievable bourbons.

    Incredible experience and fairly priced tastes. This place is a must if you are in Louisville. Prices are great for bourbons you can’t typically find or try. I’m not a “Blantons” guy but I found out I love Blantons Gold, something I never would have tried if it wasn’t $15 a pour.

    Great range, small and quirky bar and one of the few that sells vintage bourbon pours all at reasonable prices, a must visit if you love bourbon and want something that's different from 80s and 90s maker's to 70s old Fitzgerald they have it all

    Great place with an awesome selection of current and dusty bottles, and they also have some very nice cocktails. Very cool atmosphere with great, knowledgeable staff. Some pour prices are little high, but I anticipated that before going.

  • 5/5 dave m. 1 year ago on Google
    It's basically a museum and bar. Great place to have a 1oz pour of some crazy bourbons for a great price. Plenty of good 5 dollar pours and for 10 bucks you get some crazy bourbons. Go and grab a pour and just gawk at the bottles behind the bar

    Really nice place to have some good bourbon! Their signature drinks are amazing... I had the Bourbon Drop. I'll also suggest the Once Pecan A Time also. We used Old Forester 86 and it was amazing. Very intimate set up.. I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be going again. If you haven't visited yet... you should!

    What a great spot, full of history and fine cocktails. Would definitely recommend a visit here to anyone even remotely interested in Bourbon and its history and heritage. I stopped in on a Friday night in February 2022 and enjoyed a few cocktails as well as a few vintage pours. Kingsley is a gem and made my already great experience even more enjoyable. She's a super knowledgeable bartender and can make a fine Paper Plane!

    If you like bourbon and are in Louisville, do yourself a favor and get a few pours at Neat Bourbon Bar! This place is simply amazing! It's like visiting the Louvre but instead of just gazing upon the beauty of the Mona Lisa, you get to watch da Vinci paint it. OK, maybe a stretch but with enough bourbon... seriously though, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't swing by. Staff is super helpful and their hospitality is top notch. I was in Louisville for a week, went on a friend's recommendation the first night, had to go back the last night cause it was just that good. So just go and thank me later

    Wonderfully priced Whiskey and Bourbon bar located in Highlands right outside of Louisville. Im from Houston Texas so it was nice to find a quiet bar that I could take my time and explore the taste of bourbon country. 10/10 would recommend and return next year.

    Great experience at Neat! I enjoyed a few sips of The Old Grand-Dad from 1972 served with kindness & attention! Go there for the aroma & proper scenery! I’m back up in Detroit, already missing this place….

  • 5/5 Ken S. 2 years ago on Google
    Class act, all around. Swank setting, top shelf cocktails and reasonable price points. I had the Hoity Toity perfect for a wintry day. I will be back!
