We had the large pretzel and beer cheese and a few drinks. The service was good and the old hotel was very inviting. The ambiance was warm and cozy.

We stayed at the Seelbach this weekend and Saturday evening we stopped in for a quick bite and a drink. This is a very cozy bar and still has the old time feel to it. They have a huge bourbon selection. I had their Old Fashioned and my wife had a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. She ordered the Burgoo and I had the Smoked Wings. Her Burgoo came out piping hot. It was thicker than what we usually see, but she said the flavor was good. My Smoked Wings were enormous, full wings. Even though they came out as 4 wings, there are technically 8, if you ordered anywhere else. I got a side of ranch for dipping, along with celery and carrots. Everything was delicious.

The bar has the largest selection of bourbon. That is the reason to go. The staff are friendly and helpful. They let you linger. The place is an old-fashioned bar, with a full bar. The food was okay. It is bar food, fries, tacos and other items. It is good for a late-night snack.

Stopped in here while staying in Louisville. I heard good things about it so added it to a place to go. It is located inside the Seelbach hotel right near Fourth Street Live. When you walk in it gives you a cocktail bar type feel not a bar bar. While they did have numerous tv's (playing basketball), it was still pretty quiet and gave a quaint feel. The service was just okay, but the drinks were pretty amazing. We had several old fashions and they made them well. Of course a wide selection of bourbons to choose from. Prices were reasonable considering we were at a hotel bar. All in all, pretty good if you are in the area to stop in and have a cocktail.

We stayed in the hotel and went there on Saturday night for a nightcap after a party and UK basketball game viewing. We sat at the bar and both bartenders were super friendly and could make any drink you wanted. Their bourbon list was huge. If you want to taste high end bourbons, this is your place. They also had a large, more normal bourbon menu which we ordered from. My wife had an Old Fashion, two actually. She said they were the best she had ever had. We had two appetizers. The bourbon, beer pretzel (huge!) and the hummus plate. The beer cheese was really good. The hummus plate was great with pita bread and lots of veggies. All of them had honey lightly drizzled on them. Unique twist and really good. If we get to stay at the hotel again, we would definitely go back there. It's on the Urban Bourbon Trail, we learned.

We visited this bar all 3 nights while staying at the Seelbach hotel. We always had good service; and the selection of bourbons on hand is very impressive! The bartenders all seemed to be knowledgeable about the varieties as well. On our first evening a had to try the Seelbach Cocktail, (bourbon, champagne, bitters, Grand Marnier, orange and cherry.). I wasn't a huge fan; but I'm not much of a bourbon drinker. On other nights I stuck to a beer and a Malibu Rum & coke. My husband had a flight of Four Roses Bourbons one evening, and a variety of other bourbon drinks the other 2 nights. He liked everything he had; although he requested one of the big ice bourbon balls; but they didn't have them when we were there. On our last night we tried some of the food options. On our bartender's recommendation we went with the big pretzel and beer cheese dipping sauce. The pretzel is deep-fried but also doughy on the inside. It was delicious and the portion of beer cheese sauce was larger than most. We also had the carnitas soft tacos and they were packed with flavor as well. We were happy with our choices, the prices were reasonable, and the food was delivered quickly. This bar is full of history so if you're a bourbon lover or staying at the Seelbach you need to stop in. You'll be glad you did!

More atmosphere than anything else. The service was friendly but not familiar - a little different that other bars we visited. Funky old wood menu for the high price poors was fun to read in the dark. A window seat gives you a view of a parade of interesting characters and an interior seat gives you a better view of the bar. The food was average and allowed us to get a few bits of the Brown before we just turned back to testing bourbons. We stayed in the hotel so this was convenient for us. We loved the rich history. The tight measure pours.....well.
