There are definitely some high and low points to this place. For me the highs outweigh the lows. I actually doubt they will be around long either way because it was always dead.\n\nI'm not sure where the \"Bourbon\" idea came from. This is an eighties themed bar. Yes, they have a fairly comprehensive selection of bourbons but the bartenders know absolutely nothing about them. Video poker at the bar seems out of place.\n\nThe place is beyond contrived. Painfully so. And I think its sort of an answer to a question nobody asked. They should have just made it a bourbon focused lounge and called it a day. I think its time for bourbon to become more popular. If fancy vodka and tequila is so cool right now, bourbon deserves its spot too.\n\nAnyways there are actually some really good deals on the menu here for the frugal drunkard. I sampled many bourbons but my go-to here was Evan Williams neat, in a plastic cup, to go for $3. The quality of the pour varied widely. Sometimes it was a shot and sometimes I got a half pint. It was always quiet though and a nice little pick me up on my way to play roulette or go drink somewhere else.\n\nI did try some other bourbons and they ranged from completely fine to absolutely stunning. The Pappy Van Winkle 15 yr old Rye was outstanding. I liked the George Dickel for $5 but felt Evan Williams is a better value. There is stuff at every pricepoint so drink up. \n\nI cant speak about the dancing or other festivities that apparently go on here. It looked kind of stupid but maybe thats your thing. I came here for cheap glasses of bourbon. I like bourbon.
