The Bar at Fort Nelson is a must-visit spot in Louisville, especially for Michter's fans. Upon entering, guests are greeted by friendly staff and a showroom filled with Michter's merchandise, including shirts, coasters, books, and Bourbon selections. Despite a 15-20 minute wait to get up to the bar, the warm and polite service makes the experience worthwhile. The bar area offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for singles or dates.
A standout feature is the assortment of snacks provided, including small pretzel balls, dried bananas, and the highly recommended crunchy quicos (corn nuts). The drink menu boasts unique concoctions like the Falls of the O-H-I-O Fizz, which is frothy with a sweet touch and a gentle bourbon burn, and the Fort Nelson Crusta, known for its beautiful presentation and sweet flavor.
For a more immersive experience, visitors can enjoy the BYO (Bottle Your Own) experience, complete with a tour led by knowledgeable and passionate guides. The tour includes a fun bottling process and tasting flights of ryes in the upstairs pub.
Reservations are recommended to fully enjoy the bar's offerings within the allotted 1 hour and 15 minutes. Whether trying a seasonal warm drink or savoring other expertly crafted beverages, The Bar at Fort Nelson promises a delightful and memorable visit.
