THE PUB

An English-inspired pub in the heart of Bourbon country.

What to expect

LIVE MUSIC

Bring your friends, dance a little and let a live band carry the night. It’s our nod to the Casbah, the Liverpool cellar club where the Beatles began.

SIGNATURE COCKTAILS

House cocktails built on Never Say Die, from the Epsom Derby to a Kentucky take on the Pimm’s Cup, plus whiskey flights and eight taps of mostly local beer.

AMERICAN AND BRITISH CLASSICS

Smash burgers, pub club sandwiches and Kentucky beer cheese, plus beer-battered fish and chips. Like our whiskey, it’s Kentucky at heart with an English finish.
