Spirits
The cozy little bar beneath the house — and, with more than 700 bourbons in stock, the largest bourbon bar in Western Kentucky. Everyday pours to rare barrel picks: tell the team what you like and they will find the perfect glass.

A house with a story
Elmer Miller built his home on East 5th Street in 1905. A century later Larry and Jeanne Kirk set out to restore it — and not even the tornado that struck Owensboro in 2007 could stop them.
Chef Kasey Kirk-Dillow
Kasey wanted to be a chef or a photographer for as long as she can remember. A semester in London set her course: halfway through her degree at Kentucky Wesleyan, she left for culinary school in Louisville.
