Food & Dining Magazine’s spirits and nightlife columnist Sara “The Bar Belle” Havens is preparing a profile of Neat Bourbon Bar & Bottle Shop (1139 Bardstown Rd.) for our Fall 2024 print issue, which you’ll see in all the usual spots around town come September.
In the meantime, Neat has been included on a list of “The best bars in America in 2024,” which enumerates USA TODAY’s 27 favorite spots.
Neat, established in 2022, found a niche: Tourists and locals are drawn to this place on a busy Louisville street, where the dark orange and black exterior welcomes you in with signs saying “vintage bourbon.” As its name suggests, this place doesn’t mess around with the good stuff. They might have one of the best old-fashioneds in town. This is a place with an impressive collection and bartenders ready to show it off. — Amanda Hancock, The Courier Journal
