Where Every Pour Tells a Story

Join us for seasonal cocktails that highlight garden-fresh herbs, house-made infusions, and local ingredients, offering a rotating selection of drinks curated as thoughtfully as our menus.


Whether you’re sipping a Lavender Lemon Drop on the terrace, toasting a celebration with a TKC Old Fashioned,  or sharing a bottle of wine with friends, you’re raising a glass to the very best of the Bluegrass. From first pour to final toast, every drink is an invitation to slow down and savor the moment. And as you would expect from a Castle in the heart of Kentucky, our bar is stocked with rare and exclusive bourbons, with our bartenders ready to pour.

“Has to be the best brunch around. The food is so fresh, and the staff so friendly and prompt. This is my go to when I have family coming in from out of town. And I always look forward to the seasonal changes of the menu. If ever in town, highly recommend.”

We saw the Castle last year when passing through and couldn’t wait to come back to try. It is a neat experience. Not your everyday place to go for lunch or dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, grounds, and food. Would highly recommend.”

The restaurant was excellent! We sat at the bar with last-minute reservations. Jordan was great! The food was amazing! Recommended basically anything on the new menu!
