Although the facility is beautiful with all of the bourbons in a fantastic display, I would not recommend going there for anything but a look-see and then move on. We were seated at our reserved table promptly. Then it took 50 minutes to get waited on and receive our drinks. During that time, we asked, twice, to see the advertised "Bible" of bourbon.......it never arrived. The front vestibule with the bathrooms was closed off and we were directed outside to the courtyard to a group of unisex bathrooms which were, in a word, nasty! There was an unknown yellowish liquid on the seats and floors surrounding the toilets, toilets were not flushed, and the hand dryer did not work. We reported this to one of the waitstaff, but we had no confidence that it would be attended to. This was definitely not a positive experience. We will not go back with out-of-town guests again.

This place was more than I expected. The ambiance is great. It’s romantic, it’s fun and I can’t wait to go back. If you love whiskey and Bourbons, you will not regret stopping by here. The food was great and the drinks were even better. Each area has its own vibe. We sat in the Bourbon room. I’ve never seen anything like it. Take a look at their Bourbon Bible.

The food wasn’t great and the service was mediocre at best. It was a beautiful place, what little that could be seen because it was pitch black. I assume is it was that dark to illuminate the walls of bourbon. One time is plenty. And how can a restaurant be out of burgers? The food menu is very short,not great.
