    First thing I noticed was the excellent sound system when we walked in. Then I noticed how everyone seemed to be having a good time. Upon the suggestion of someone we sat next to you at the bar we ordered something that wasn't on the menu. This place has a wide variety of infused liquor and lots of fun options. The Kenai Whiskey Sour was amazing. I would have had another but was anxious to try a lemon mojito which was dangerously smooth. The owner and bartender is engaging and entertaining. We can't wait to come back especially since we made friends while we were there.

    Al, the owner, was fantastic. Our group of riders came in and enjoyed ourselves immensely!

    Hard Water lounge has many higher end Kentucky whiskeys that are only available via lottery at a very affordable price per pour. I was lucky enough to try Weller C.Y.P.B which is one that I’ve tried. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and allowed my partner and I to savor the moment and talk for over an hour without rushing us. The Alaskan Margarita and smoke old fashioned cocktails were also phenomenal. I’d be here 3 nights a week if it was closer to where I lived and wasn’t just up here for vacation
