Top 10 KY Bars (not in Louisville)

The Best Kentucky Bars That Aren't In Louisville

 

Anyone want to give the low down on any of these?

[UKMustangFan]

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.

I haven't been to any either, but I have a few friends who frequent Wiseguys often.

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.

Wiseguys & OKBB are both in Covington & are both smoke-free.

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

The Tap on Main in Somerset, is literally built in an automatic car wash bay attached to a convenient store.

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.

I enjoyed the Bourbon Bar but can get a bit pricey if you like bourbon. Bring a DD.

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.

I LOVE the fact that Tap on Main in Somerset has plywood covering a broken window in their photo. Classic.
