Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar — Restaurant in Covington

Because of this place, I now drink old fashions. Not only that, I drink what I used to think of as "girly drinks": whiskey sours.

Afterward we made our way to OKBB, which was the best decision of our trip. After waking in, we were overwhelmed with the selection, including a whiskey from our home town. We started with the house Manhattan, which was delicious. The best Manhattan we've had. Watching the bartender make them was a work of art. Clearly these guys know what they're doing. After the Manhattan i tried the old fashioned. Not the best I've ever had, but still delicious. I'm a Wisconsinite, so the competition is stiff on these, so I'd still recommend it.
