Order An Old Fashioned At Prohibition Bourbon Bar, The Quirkiest Whiskey Bar In Kentucky

Here in the Bluegrass, we take our bourbon very seriously. So when we say we’ve discovered an amazing, off-the-beaten-path bourbon bar that’s worth seeking out, we mean it! In the historic little river town of Newport, Kentucky, Prohibition Bourbon Bar is a delightfully quirky whiskey bar that’s a throwback to a 1920s-era speakeasy, and it’s an absolute must-visit for all you Bluegrass bourbon lovers!

Housed in a historic townhouse in downtown Newport, Kentucky, you'll find the quirkiest and most delightful bourbon bar in the Bluegrass.

A coffee shop and bourbon bar, Newberry Bros. Coffee & Prohibition Bourbon Bar is one of the most unique spots in Kentucky. Fresh pastries? Handmade espresso? Cheese boards? Aged bourbon? Yes, yes, yes, and yes!

Where else but here can you order a handmade espresso and glass of barrel-aged bourbon? Nowhere, we say.

But while the breakfast options here are all delicious, it's the spirits that really set this place apart.

Hailed as the "World's Largest Bourbon Bar," this place has over 1,500 varieties (that's over 6,000 bottles) of whiskey... and counting!

As such, you will most definitely want to order a bourbon flight, so you can try out several different varieties.

Of course, if you already have your own special drink, you'll undoubtedly be able to order that here, too.

But it's not just the extensive bourbon selection that makes this place so special. Modeled after a 1920s-era speakeasy, Prohibition Bourbon Bar is a total *mood*: dark, mysterious, and irresistibly alluring.

Pony up to the bar in one of the time-worn stools, and order an Elijah Craig Old Fashioned, one of Prohibition Bourbon Bar's best-selling specialties.

Regardless of what you order -- a coffee or a drink (or both!) -- you'll undoubtedly enjoy the charming vibes of this only-in-Kentucky spot. We have a feeling it might become your new favorite happy hour hub!
