Where it all began…

Founded in 2002, the PADDOCK Bar and Patio has been an institution on the University of Kentucky’s campus ever since. Known for its great bourbon selection and eclectic crowd, the bar has expanded through the years, becoming one of the largest patios with one of the most extensive bourbon collections in town. In 2020, during the height of COVID-19 the owner of the PADDOCK, Erick Ostrander, founded PaddockBourbonClub.com as a way to share rare spirits to our guests during a crazy time. In 2023 Paddock Bourbon Club opened it’s doors to the public to allow online order pick ups, in -store purchases as well as membership tiers that allow access to classes, workshops, exclusive bourbon content, and over 400+ rare bourbons and spirits at our tasting bar. Please stop in and share a pour with us and learn a little more about how we want to change the bourbon industry, making rare bottles more accessible to our members and guests.
