Frankfort
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Frankfort, Kentucky
Frankfort, Kentucky's state capital, sits in the heart of Bourbon Country, and BarFinder's data reflects that directly: distilleries are the single largest venue category among the city's 45 listings, well ahead of classic bars and pubs. That's thanks in part to Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of the world's best-known bourbon producers, based right in Frankfort, alongside real local spots like Howser Tavern and Parlays Tavern for a more traditional night out. It's a scene where a distillery tour is as likely a night out as a neighborhood bar.
