March 3, 201511 yr The Best Kentucky Bars That Aren't In Louisville Anyone want to give the low down on any of these?
March 3, 201511 yr Haven't been to any. Don't really frequent bars in KY due to the fact you walk out smelling like an ash tray. Ohio is where it's at. I am surprised to see 3 from the Covington/Newport area. Expected it to be dominated by Lexington bars.
March 3, 201511 yr I haven't been to any either, but I have a few friends who frequent Wiseguys often.
March 3, 201511 yr Don't really frequent bars in KY due to the fact you walk out smelling like an ash tray. It's one of the reasons that I was thrilled that Dickman's went smoke free. Growlers/Dunkers is now. If Longnecks would go smoke free, I'll be set with places I like to visit, especially for UK/Bengals games. Maybe one day.
March 3, 201511 yr Haven't been to any. Don't really frequent bars in KY due to the fact you walk out smelling like an ash tray. Wiseguys & OKBB are both in Covington & are both smoke-free.
March 3, 201511 yr The Crazy Fox in Newport is a very "metro" hipster kind of bar. I've been there a few times. Not really my scene, but not a bad place. I've been up to the Wiseguy Lounge twice...both times after getting some late-night pizza downstairs. If it's "roaring twenties themed", the theme was 100% lost on me. Expensive drinks, too dark inside, and small/cramped. Don't get it. Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar is pretty cool if you want to try essentially whatever bourbon you'd like. I dig the place, but don't expect to get out of there without dropping some cabbage on whatever you're drinking. Good mixologists too, if you want to mix your whiskey. I really liked Gambrinus the one time I went. Good bar food, great beer. Cool name too...Gambrinus is a legendary king from Europe who is the patron of beer and brewers. Gambrinus : Beer :: Bacchus : Wine
March 4, 201511 yr Author The Tap on Main in Somerset, is literally built in an automatic car wash bay attached to a convenient store.
March 4, 201511 yr Top on Main is a really good place if you're into all sorts of beer. It's average if you're just looking of liquor. Good atmosphere, nice location and everything like, just obviously catering to a beer obsessed crown. Which isn't me.
March 4, 201511 yr I enjoyed the Bourbon Bar but can get a bit pricey if you like bourbon. Bring a DD.
March 4, 201511 yr Been to Tidballs and I think The Village Idiot if it has a new name. The bar looks familiar in the picture but I think the place I went to that looks like that had a different name.
March 4, 201511 yr .... I LOVE the fact that Tap on Main in Somerset has plywood covering a broken window in their photo. Classic.
