When most people think of Kentucky, bourbon is one thing that typically comes to mind. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or have never even stepped foot in the state, you know that Kentucky is the “Bourbon Capital of the World.” But do you know where to go for the largest selection of our state’s signature drink? You may be surprised to learn that a small bar and coffee shop in Newport has more bourbon options than seems possible. Newberry Bros. Coffee & Prohibition Bar has the largest selection of bourbon in the world and its collection is definitely worth seeing (and tasting) for yourself.
Located in a historic building in Newport, Newberry Bros. Coffee & Prohibition Bar is an unexpected gem in a neighborhood that's been brought back to life. While it's not surprising to find a bourbon bar in Kentucky, it is exciting to find the largest bourbon selection in the world tucked inside this little coffee shop and bar.
Whether you're visiting for coffee or bourbon, you'll love the atmosphere of this neighborhood hang out. The bourbon and whiskey bottles are as much an artistic decoration as they are ready to be sampled, and it's quite the sight to see.
The Prohibition Bar has a collection of over 2,000 bourbons and rye whiskeys, so if you're looking for something specific, chances are they have it. They offer everything from common brands to rare bottles that you won't see anywhere else in the world.
If you're a bourbon expert, you'll be baffled at the bar's collection - and likely a little envious. If you know nothing of bourbon (or even if you don't enjoy it) Prohibition Bar is still a fascinating place to learn about the history of this beverage and it's also just a cool place to hang out with friends.
Of course, if you’re a bourbon fan, you'll want to sample some spirits when you visit. If you'd like to arrange a special event or tasting, the Speakeasy Room is the perfect spot - just call ahead to inquire about reservations.
Although the bar is filled with bourbon, Newberry Bros. has much else to offer guests. There is a cafe and bistro where you can enjoy a bite to eat, and the fresh roasted, fair-trade coffee is some of the best in the state.
The atmosphere inside the bar feels like an old-fashioned speakeasy, and there is also a lovely patio to enjoy on nice evenings. Newberry Bros. is open Thursdays 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., Fridays from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., and the third Sunday of the month for its Third Sunday events.
