Really cool place where you can taste bourbons before buying them. A little pricier than most places but the experience is worth it. Tyler was awesome, knew his bourbons and gave great recommendations. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

Don't pass this place up! I found this Gem while visiting my daughter from out of town. We stopped in to find a bottle of bourbon that my husband wouldn't have already. Brought home 3 and some tequila for me. It was so nice to visit with Brendan. He helped pick out tastings that we would enjoy. We never felt pressured to buy and Brendan was very down to earth, easy to conversate with. I definitely will make Barrels on Bridge a regular stop when in town. I can't wait to bring my husband with. Thanks again for a nice experience!

If you’re a bourbon, gin, vodka, or tequila fan this is worth a visit. Hands down the most knowledgeable bourbon aficianado I’ve ever talked with. Stuff I’ve never seen for sale elsewhere. Generous with samples to ensure I knew what was buying. Really a 10/10 experience. Thank you Brendan. Looking forward to my next visit

Great shop specializing in unique Bourbon. The owner and knowledgeable staff are super helpful in making sure you find something you will be happy with. They host fantastic tasting events regularly with distillery founders, owners, and other knowledgeable vendors. Once I found this hidden gem, I immediately had a new favorite spot.

An absolutely amazing place and a must stop if you are in the area! Even if you aren’t into Bourbon or Whiskey Brendan (the owner) will give you a great experience. He is passionate about what he does and has so much knowledge, not to mention hundreds of bottles that you can taste test! My fiancé and I went in to buy gifts for some of our Bourbon loving friends, and came out excited to go back for ourselves next time! A huge selection, amazing service, beautiful store, plans for more offerings on the horizon, and something for everyone at every price point. You will be happy you went!

Barrels on Bridge is a place that makes a huge impression from the very first moment. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and full of positive energy – you can truly feel that every guest is valued here. The wide selection of drinks is remarkable, offering something for both connoisseurs and those eager to try something new. What stood out to me the most was my conversation with the owner – full of passion, humor, and warmth. We laughed so much that the next day I actually had sore abs! It’s rare to find a spot where the human connection feels so genuine and sincere. Barrels on Bridge is not only about a fantastic range of spirits, but above all, it’s an experience that stays with you for a long time. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique vibe, great fun, and outstanding hospitality.

I have been into the store a few times now and every single time I have been impressed. The amount of very hard to find bottles that are on the shelves has surprised me. I was able to pick up a bottle Barrel Bourbon Ice Wine cask finish, which I have never seen on a shelf until this store. They also have dozens of open bottles to sample and taste before you buy which is a unique experience on its own. They also bring in distilleries to do guided tastings in store all for free. Can’t say it enough highly recommend stopping in!

It’s incredible to have such variety in one place. Even though I live 45 minutes away, I will make the trip to get my goods from Brendan because he truly offers the best service and selection.

Recently spent some time and Barrels on Bridge for a private event and it was simply an amazing experience and place. The owners, Brendan and Tiara were incredible hosts with what I would consider the perfect pairing of food, spirits, and stories. They both are very knowledgeable and willing to talk about pretty much anything. I strongly recommend stopping in as it is cool place to look around and a "no pressure" atmosphere.

My goodness, where do I begin. Barrels on Bridge is an incredible establishment. Brendan and Tiara were such gracious hosts for the private tasting I had the privilege of attending. The food provided was delicious and the bourbon and tequila we sampled were very well picked and came with easily digestible knowledge that didn't feel like they were just reading from a printout. I cannot recommend this place enough and I will be telling friends about my experience there for a long time to come.
