The bar itself is a showstopper; a solid oak piece that anchors Tomcat Bourbon & Brew House to the larger bourbon narrative.

The bar was originally located in a Chicago pub in the early 1900s. It was removed and sat in an antique dealer’s warehouse until the Tomcat owners rescued it, personally transported it all the way to Kentucky, and brought it back to life, lovingly restoring this winsome wood piece to its former glory. It’s a stunning antique, and is all original, save for the bar top, which had to be replaced.

This refurbished old bar counter really sets the mood of this place, which, in spite of opening in 2021, feels like it’s been around for ages.
