Happy Hour Liquor & Bar

This place is a gem! They have a better selection of bourbon than the big box chains, and the prices are very competitive to them. If you've never stopped by here, you're missing out! And they have a staff that will chat and help you understand and answer all your questions. Definitely a great place to check out!

They're the only place I can find that carries Bacardi Spiced Rum so I go there just about every week. They recently ran out & didn't have anymore for a few weeks. I asked the owner to order more & he did. Excellent customer service every time I go here & I really appreciate them ordering a case of something for me.

A great owner with an EXCELLENT bourbon palette and knowledge. This store has a crazy selection of bourbon and high quality spirits and wines in general. As far as bourbon goes, there are some great store picks you’ll find here. And they aren’t going to be your run of the mill picks either. The bar (yes there’s a full BAR) has some great rare, interesting, and one-off stuff. You’ll find lots of people in town with expensive things in their stores but without the knowledge of if the level of quality is really worth the price. Happy Hour Liquor and Bar is an absolute exception to this common reality. The bottom line is that this store is founded on knowledge and quality.

The best liquor store in Nicholasville, hands down. They have a great selection at all price points. The bar inside is really cool if you're looking to stop in for a drink. They have suckers for your kids and dog treats for your pups. The drive thru is super convenient and the staff is always friendly.

Great selection of store pick bourbons. We stepped into the bar for a few sips in a relaxing environment. Always enjoy visiting this establishment.

Bar is fantastic, one of the best selections of bourbon in the Nicholasville/lexington area. Store has an amazing selection of spirits, beer, wine, etc. staff is knowledgeable and very friendly.

Great selection of pours and bottle options. Must see if you're hunting or looking for a tasting. Highly recommend.

Look... If you're a whiskey lover just plan on visiting. Great group of folks that support numerous barrel pick groups and have quite possibly the best selection of single barrel picks around. Do yourself a favor and swing by here to check out the selection.

Best liquor store in the area. Good selection, good prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and always getting interesting things in.

GREAT guest service. GREAT selection. Fair prices. We would definitely recommend! Thank you!

Great selection of bourbon. It has a coffee shop type atmosphere. Laid back and enjoyable. You will be wiser when you leave

Friendly service and a great selection. The prices are sometimes better than expected. They're always good at giving a suggestion as well.

Great hospitality - Bobby is the greatest. Tons of picks and samples. A must visit

My favorite liquor store. Folks are real nice and knowledgeable.

This is by far the best place for quality bourbon at a fair price! I make it a point to stop by several times a month and stock up on their new barrel picks (usually a 2.5hr drive). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve never had an experience here that was less than phenomenal. Be sure to ask about joining their bourbon club!

Fantastic store and bar! One of the best selections in probably Lexington and all of the surrounding areas. Can always count on getting something great here at the most fair prices. The owner and the team are a fantastic group of people! The bar is well stocked with hundreds of selections to choose from. I always make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in town!

Aaron and his staff are always friendly and willing to help. They have a great selection, their bar is beautiful. Aaron and his team always have great store picks in stock. Many times, a portion of the proceeds from various picks go to charity which just goes to show the kind nature of Aaron and his staff. The store is clean and organized and prices are ALWAYS reasonable. There are plenty of stores to pick from in Lexington where I live, but I would prefer to drive to Nicholasville to Happy Hour 10 out of 10 times. My thanks to the folks at Happy Hour for all they do.

Happy Hour is one of those "Hidden Gems" you hear people speak of from time to time. At least it is for us. The bartenders take the time to make you a truly craft drink and the selection of bottles behind the bar is unbeatable. We love to start our date nights by going here for a drink. Most of the time we sit at the bar but sometimes we enjoy the nice leather chairs. We usually enjoy a nice cocktail then peruse the store for whatever bottle cstches our eye. The service is always great from the bar and store.

The liquor store side was great when Aaron Took over and remodeled, and now with the bar side open this is a must see place for all bourbon lovers.

The most recent bar they built on the inside is so relaxing and peaceful with a huge selection of drinks and higher class bourbon as well. The staff is friendly and coul talk to them all day. Best spot in town to grab what you need or request a drink for them to order for you.
