We had heard a lot about the food at the Bar at Willett Distillery, and we really looked forward to it! Someone wrote: “… the episode for the best burger? Well this is the burger. It burger lived up to the hype.” … so couldn’t wait! Well, it seems they change up the menu, and it wasn’t on it. Bummer! But they had other nice small plates, so we settled on the cheese plate (crackers, pickled beets, grainy mustard, marmalade and salami). It was nice, but was a little skimpy on crackers and salami, although the onion marmalade was amazing. Also, the atmosphere was wonderful up in the bar. The room is great, and just small enough to be cozy, plus you can sit outside on the wrap around balconey. Lastly, the staff was so friendly! If you’re going to Willet distillery for a tour, you must treat yourself and dine at The Bar at Willet.

The bar at Willett is a must-visit! The cocktail menu features innovative drinks that showcase their fantastic bourbons, and I loved the signature cocktail I tried. The small plates were equally impressive, especially the egg sandwich—hands down the best I’ve ever had!
To top it off, the cheesecake was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. The knowledgeable bartenders were passionate about their craft, enhancing the overall experience. The combination of delicious food, expertly crafted cocktails, and attentive service made for an unforgettable evening. I can’t wait to return!

Another fantastic lunch at the Bar at Willet Distillery. This is the second year in a row we’ve stopped at this distillery and had lunch at the bar. The bar makes great cocktails and the food is delicious. My husband had an old-fashioned and I had a bees knees, which was perfect. We, of course, had to share the famous egg salad sandwich. The sandwich has its own Instagram page. It’s famous! We also shared the cheese plate, the oyster sliders and the beef tartare. The beef tartare was a generous portion and so fresh. It was served with crispy potato chips. The oyster sliders were unique and delicious. Plump fried oysters with cabbage and remoulade on Hawaiian rolls. And who doesn’t like a cheese plate? Accompanying the cheese was crackers, pickled beets, grainy mustard, marmalade and salami. They could’ve put on more salami as it wasn’t as generous as the cheese.
If you’re going to Willet distillery for a tour and tasting, which I highly recommend, you must dine at The Bar at Willet as well.

Food is incredible! We sat at the bar and had an absolute blast, super friendly with great recommendations for both food and bourbon. Probably the best service I’ve received sitting at a bar, can’t recommend enough. Order a few items and share with the table, everything is top tier. And get the cheesecake, it is divine!

This was a disappointing experience. We made reservations for 5:30. The crazy thing is that we were unaware they close at 5:30. So, they were out of numerous items. Our server was very pleasant, but we felt rushed. We could see the kitchen breaking down the kitchen for the night. We were advised if we wanted more food we’d have to order it fairly quickly. The cocktails were not imaginative. We had been at The Mitcher in Louisville prior to this and their cocktails were amazing.I only give this a three rating because our server was actually very kind and your egg salad sandwich was tasty. Please adjust your reservation times. This is so silly. We were in town for much of the day, had anyone contacted us, we would have been glad to come in earlier. We felt as if staff was sweeping under our feet. Not an experience I would recommend.

So glad we were able to enjoy lunch at the Bar at Willett. Luciano made our experience memorable by providing exceptional bar service. Hats off to the kitchen staff for preparing amazing food in a open kitchen. The foie gras and lamb were a great pairing with my bourbon flight. This was definitely a highlight of our visit to Kentucky.

Probably the best restaurant at any distillery in Kentucky. If you go on a Saturday as soon as they open, get the burger. They only make a small number per day. It’s worth the trip from Louisville or Lexington

I made specific plans to be the first seating on a Saturday. As our waitress showed up she immeaditely asked if we wanted the burger, which was a definite yes. We also ordered brussel sprouts, carrots and drinks.
Drinks and sides were really good. The burger… well if you ever watched “How I met your mother” and the episode for the best burger? Well this is the burger. It burger lived up to the hype and the staff were fantastic.

I would give it 10 stars if it would let me! We sat at the bar with Alex as our bartender. She gave us great recommendations for food and drinks. She made the best Hugo spritz I’ve ever had, courtesy of Luciano, and my husband had a 9 year rye that he LOVED! The food was also incredible. Highly recommend the cashews, gnocchi, and brussel sprouts. This is a MUST DO when in the area. Do not miss! Ask for Alex!

I was on a road trip and someone somewhere recommended The Bar at Willett. I didn’t have a reservation but was immediately seated at the bar (solo traveler around 2pm). Watching the bartenders make cocktails was the best show in town – the cocktails are works of art. My whiskey sour was perfection! And I have cocktail glass envy – it seems every glass they used was vintage and unique. The food menu was limited but more than adequate. Everything is fresh, prepared to perfection, and delicious. This was one of the best dining experiences of my 7 week road trip.
