Bottle shop guy was surprisingly not knowledgeable for selling $500 bottles of vintage bourbon but bartender next door more than made up for it.

What a fun time! Nice drinks, excellent staff and atmosphere. The owner gave us some great hospitality as well as laughs. I'll definitely return and enjoy this gem again.

This was a cool place to check out: Great drinks, a fun place to try different bourbons, and a chance to see some rare bourbons as well. They had a few cocktails made without bourbon as well (gin, tequila, etc.) for those that want to stick to clear liquors. Cool vibes that would be fun on a date night.

This place has a great bourbon selection including some really nice dustys. We grabbed a few seats at the bar. Vines were on point. They sell bottles but didn't have anything interesting in my price range. Cocktails were well balanced. Bourbon prices were normal to high. Bartender was friendly. Would go back.

Came to this bar with friends from out of town who wanted to check it out. I am more of a cocktail girl so I tried the Paloma which was incredible! The atmosphere and music were really nice and we had a really great time here. Will definitely come back!

Cute place to grab a drink or two!!! Street parking was easy. Plenty of room at the bar. Two separate areas for seating looked cozy- some with low sofa chairs and tables, other side more traditional. Three people behind the bar helping to get us situated with waters and cocktails. Every little detail was fun- including the water carafe. Just gorgeous. Lots of bourbon on display including some closed cases that had expensive stuff like Pappy. Perfectly sized cocktail menu, many things I would enjoy. I opted for a "bourbon drop" which is basically a whiskey sour. I wished for egg white; they did not have it. A friend had the "Kentucky breakfast" which came with bacon and my date had the Looavul. All crafted right before us and fairly quickly. The bar had small hooks for your purse and the seat backs were well enough to hold our jackets. Perfection. Reasonably priced cocktails and excellent service. We will be back! I would return

To finish off a night out, my better half and I decided to grab a nightcap. I searched for cocktail bars, and of the options near us, Neat looked the most enticing. My first impression was positive as they have a parking lot (very nice for being off Bardstown Rd). We walked around to the bar itself and I immediately loved the cozy but sophisticated vibe. We both stepped right up for an Old Fashioned, and the bartender poured us a generous shot of bourbon over a perfect cube of ice, then garnished the drink with a cherry and a twist of orange. The place was full but not overcrowded, and we were able to snag seating in some comfy chairs. We sipped our drinks and admired some of the decor (I was intrigued by the lamp next to us that looked like an old lawn jockey and had "Old Taylor" written on the base). In the background I also got mesmerized by a video playing on a loop of an astronaut treading water in a glittery pink ocean with a sky full of stars above. We popped into the bottle shop on our way out, and I loved seeing the beautiful selection of old vintage bottles and labels, many of them in mint condition. Overall Neat was a perfect way to end our night out.

What a special experience. Neat. Bourbon bar is exceptional. The ambience is everything you would expect in an exceptional bourbon bar with tons of selections and educated and courteous staff willing to make wonderful recommendations.A destination for bourbon enthusiast. If you enjoy bourbon, and you're anywhere near Louisville, you owe it to yourself to get to Bardstown and check it out.

If you are serious about your bourbon, like a true bourbon nerd then you need to come here. What an awesome collection and some amazing old dusty. Well priced and they have things you will never see again. Please don't be the guy or gal that walks in and orders a Four Roses, which happened while we were they and not look at the menu or at least what's right in your face. This place is a gem. But don't tell everyone

Wow. I really don't have enough great things to say about Neat. It's been open since January and absolutely cannot be missed! The selection is huge and Court, the bartender, as absolutely amazing with the recommendations. He seemed to be having as much fun helping us decide what "dusties" to try as we did tasting them! If cocktails are more your speed, absolutely go for the Raspberry Yum Yum. Oh man, it was so so good.Neat also has a courtyard attached the the bar to rent airbnbs - how much cooler can a trip to Louisville get?!Seriously, Neat was the highlight of our trip. Loved every second of it.
