Old Talbott Tavern, Historic stagecoach tavern in Bardstown, United States.
The Old Talbott Tavern features thick stone walls built in Flemish bond pattern, deep window casings, and original wooden floors dating from 1779.
The tavern served as a strategic base for General George Rogers Clark during the American Revolutionary War and later welcomed three future United States presidents.
The establishment maintains its tradition as Kentucky's oldest bourbon bar, offering more than 100 different bourbon varieties to visitors and residents.
Located in downtown Bardstown, the tavern operates as both a restaurant serving regional dishes and an inn with period-decorated guest rooms.
The building's interior walls contain bullet holes allegedly made by Jesse James while shooting at imagined birds in the French-style murals.
