A crafted revival in the bourbon capital

Scout & Scholar

Built to celebrate history and craft — in every sip and every stone.

Nestled in the heart of Bardstown, Scout & Scholar Brewing Company is more than just a local restaurant. It’s a revival and celebration of Bardstown’s traditions, story, and spirit. Blending 8,418 SF of historic renovation with new construction, this two-story craft brewery and restaurant honors the rich heritage of its surroundings while inviting a new generation of locals and visitors to gather. Every detail, from preserving the character of the original structure to creating new spaces for community connection, was approached with a reverence for the past and a vision for the future. This project stands as a living reminder that thoughtful construction doesn’t just build spaces; it fosters culture, entertainment, and belonging.
