After reading many of the reviews for the Tavern, it was a toss up if I would book a room or not here. And, I can see all of the comments are accurate - the great, good and the not so good. When traveling I have a motto: You get what you pay for. And, this was true in this... More

We stopped at the Old Talbott Tavern while on the Bourbon Trail, and it was the perfect meal for a day filled with whiskey tasting. The food is generously portioned, and you can have healtier options like a salad, or get a ham & cheese sandwich that looked superb at the table next to ours. My favorite thing was the... More

We stayed two nights at the Talbott Inn/Tavern and had a great time. This is a wonderful old building from late 1700's well persevered and a great oppurtunity for us to get a look into life from back in the day. The fried chicken was worth the wait but nothing compares to the history of this place. Adding to the... More

We were excited to try this place on our visit to bardstown because of the historical building. We were disappointed. We had to ask the waitress 3 times for silverware. The meals were very overpriced for the quality of food. I paid $17 for my dinner and they served me watery canned green beans with my meal. I would try... More

Set in a beautiful town this place is lovely for a stop over. From check inn everyone was so hospitable. Room was big and period piece to the time that reflects the history ... The bar has very knowledgeable staff especially in regards to bourbon. Unfortunately the whole restaurant experience was a disaster and ended up with no food. The... More

The only spirits I saw were in the bourbon bar and they, like the hotel, restaurant, and bar staff, were quite friendly. The Daniel Boone room was comfortable. In the restaurant, both food and service were very good though not exceptional. This is the heart of bourbon country and the selection makes the bar here something of an attraction in... More

The staff at the Tavern was so friendly & helpful. This included the waitress for dinner, the front desk staff, the cook that gave us hot biscuits for breakfast, the nice lady that cleaned our room, & the security man for the Bourbon Bar. The room provided your basics, nothing fancy at all, IF you like more than basics you... More

Although they were booked to stay in the hotel, we wanted to have dinner there. The wait staff was very friendly and shared the history of the tavern. Told us about the fire upstairs years ago, and keeping the tavern as original as possible. The fried chicken says it takes 45 minutes. I decided to go for it. Best decision!... More
