Greater Cincinnati definitely feels the influence of Kentucky's Bourbon Country - just a two-hour drive away - especially in Cincinnati's Northern Kentucky suburbs. Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar, or OKBB, is located in the heart of Covington's Mainstrasse Village neighborhood. This small bar boasts a very large collection (400+) of whiskeys, with over 250 varieties of Kentucky Bourbon. The collection includes many hard-to-get types, including some from orphaned barrels. The bartenders are very highly trained, knowledgeable about Bourbon and other whiskeys, and are skilled in making cocktails. Non-whiskey drinkers will find a small selection of draft beer (some aged in Bourbon barrels) and wine. OKBB offers an outdoor patio in addition to the bar.
