Experience Through Their Eyes

Great place for lunch or dinner. We have become regulars. Would love to tell you about the whole menu but we love the wings and always get the wing, a basket of mushrooms and and basket of steak fries. Yummy. - it takes care of our wing fix. They also have the coldest draft beer around. Amanda will get you taken care of even on the busiest nights. Tell her the couple with extra crispy mango habanero couple sent you.

I ordered wings and pig Mac burger. Both were absolutely amazing. Then I saw desserts and got two different ones. They are homemade there and i absolutely loved both of them. This is a great place with great prices and a must visit while traveling to Bardstown Kentucky.

Wow, this bar is great! Pool tables, great selection of drinks (no liquor), amazingly good food, excellent service and lots of room to sit and talk. Soft music under the sound of people chatting and having fun. Come prepared to eat, lots of choices on the full menu Thanks Bluegrass Tavern!

Don't judge a book by its cover! This place was great! We got there close to 4pm. There were some locals at the bar and that was about it. The menu is more than just "bar food" it's got a menu with good choices along with some fun choices. They also have a good challenge. I didn't try it, but I will next time! It is called the "Fry Way to Hell" burger. Don't pass up the loaded hush puppies! The burger was great!
