Louisville, Kentucky
At George's Bar inside Old Forester Whiskey Bar, we curate the most comprehensive bourbon collection in Louisville — from rare single-barrel selections to the full Old Forester lineage — served with precision and hospitality that has defined our craft since day one.
Our Story
George's Bar isn't simply a place to order a drink — it's a destination for those who understand that bourbon is more than a spirit, it's a tradition spanning nearly two centuries. Located in the heart of downtown Louisville at 119 West Main Street, our bar sits within the Old Forester Whiskey Bar, home to the most comprehensive bourbon selection in the city.
Every bottle on our shelves tells a story. From small-batch distilleries in the Bluegrass region to rare finds from around the world, we've built a collection that reflects the full depth and diversity of American whiskey. Our bartenders are knowledgeable, our atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, and every visit is an opportunity to discover something new.
The Collection
From the historic Old Forester portfolio to rare single-barrel discoveries, our shelves hold some of the most distinguished bourbons in the country.
