The Elkhorn Tavern

Named after the Town Branch of the Elkhorn river, which flows alongside it, and slated to open in March 2017, this new lounge and taproom will allow The Barrel House Distilling Co. to showcase inventive cocktails made from their products: Pure Blue Vodka, Devil John Moonshine, Kentucky Oak Rum and RockCastle Bourbon. (A selection of other spirits and a beer and wine menu will also be available.) The building is the original barreling house of the James E. Pepper Distillery, founded in 1780, and the decor will reflect that rustic and historic theme, with natural wood accents and copper bar tops and ceilings
