A must-visit spot for bourbon connoisseurs (seriously, they have over 500 bourbons to choose from), Bourbon Barrel Tavern is located in a historic building in downtown Elizabethtown. Sample renowned labels like Pappy Van Winkle or the bold and smoky Buffalo Trace. Love beer? There are almost 30 beers on tap, and when it comes to wine and cocktails, the list is even more impressive. Stop in any night of the week for one of the establishment’s events, such as live music, comedy shows, and trivia!

Psst. What’s the password? You’ll need it if you want to get into the Cavern Club, Elizabethtown’s first speakeasy. A throwback to the days of 1920s flappers and secret nightclubs, this swanky hot spot is located underneath the burger restaurant J.R. Neighbors (and behind a fake brick wall). Relax on one of the oversized leather and velvet couches beneath a dimly lit chandelier and sip on Prohibition-themed cocktails like the Bees Knees or Side Car.

An Etown favorite, this pizzeria and taphouse is a great spot for dinner and drinks with family and friends. Grab a table on the spacious outdoor patio (when the weather is nice) and enjoy delicious pizzas like the smokehouse brisket. Happy hour is a blast at this joint with discounted pints, bar snacks and shareable plates (get the Asiago cheese bread). Order one of the many Kentucky-based beers on tap, like the Braxton Revamp IPA with notes of citrus and tropical fruit.

There’s no better spot to sip a great craft brew than Elizabethtown’s first brewery. Chill out in the laid-back bar area or the expansive outdoor space, and choose from over 16 rotating beers on tap. Taste cleverly named drafts like Basic Batch, a pumpkin and yam flavored beer or E=MC Hammered, a Hefeweizen Style Wheat with notes of clove. If you want to sample multiple brews, order a flight. And if beer isn’t your thing, enjoy a glass of wine or bourbon. The brewery also hosts food trucks!

With over one hundred varieties of wines to sip on, including sixteen self-pour stations, you’re guaranteed to have a memorable wine-tasting experience at Out on the Vine Wine Bar. Enjoy a glass of wine paired with one of the menu’s small plates, flatbreads, or customizable charcuterie boards. There’s even a selection of dairy-free and gluten-free treats like cinnamon roll apple pie. The bar also hosts fun events like trivia night, paint and pour classes, and live music performances!

You’ll feel like family the moment you’re greeted at the door at Elizabethtown’s first and only winery and bistro. A popular downtown spot boasting a bright and inviting tasting room and spectacular outdoor patio, this winery/bistro offers an expansive selection of reds, whites, roses, sparkling wines, and fruity sangrias. Try the limited edition Golden Berry, a white wine with notes of pear, melon, and herbs. Take your experience up a notch with a custom flight paired with a charcuterie board.

Named Kentucky’s best pie, Impellizzeri’s Elizabethtown serves up delicious pizza, brews and bourbon inside the historic Stewart Opera House. Here, you’ll find over 16 rotating beers on tap (try the Gumballhead), over 80 bourbons and a patio bar with a fire pit. Sip on a glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon or a seasonal cocktail, munch on bar bites like toasted ravioli and baked meatballs, or watch the big game on one of the 20 HDTVs. When the weather is nice, enjoy al fresco dining outside.

Wild and eclectic best describes this English-style pub that's known for its great food, delicious cocktails and fun (and funky) décor. For real, the atmosphere in this cozy spot is 10/10, with artwork from Etown-based artists, a massive indoor tree sculpture, and a bathroom sink made from a vintage bicycle. Dine on pub grub such as Scotch eggs and enjoy creative cocktails like the Saint Wicked, a blend of locally sourced lavender-infused whiskey, lime and lemon juice, and blueberry reduction.
