Liam Ash Cocktail Emporium — Restaurant in Bardstown

Just not a good experience. 😞 We were looking forward to having drinks and some charcuterie after seeing all of the pics and reviews on Google. We were so disappointed that on Sundays there is only a very limited menu and NO charcuterie. The only food offering they had was nuts, chips and olives for $14. Just trying to warn others before they visit. Should probably post this on their website somewhere.

Anyway we decide to just get a drink while we are here. The bartender takes our order and gives them to us. They are very good, but the bartender is so focused on speaking to this other couple (who were the same age as he was and maybe he knew them? ) at the other end of this small bar, that he doesn't seem to care too much about us. We are the only other people in the whole place at the bar, and he just ignores us. He just didn't seem to care that we were there. Just very disappointed in the food and drink limitations and the not-so-friendly bartender situation. It is a beautiful place though. Hopefully the owners speak to their bartender on how to better pay attention and interact with ALL of his...

While sitting outside during one of the biggest things to happen in the small town of Bardstown, the staff needed to tell people they could not sit in their outdoor seating on the public sidewalk. The reason, you ask? They closed their business for a private event. So, as we all know, a private event will have someone stopping you at the door or you lock the door. Either way, you won't have people using your outside area. But instead of making the several thousand people who traveled and are spending obscene amounts of money in the town, this company chooses to create a hostile environment with people that will not impede or detract from their business. So, if you want to support businesses that are looking for a community, then don't go here. Make your money support community based business because this attitude tells me the service most likely matches the attitude. Won't be going...
