The Old Seelbach Bar

F. Scott Fitzgerald sipped Bourbon here as an inspiration for The Great Gatsby...In this classic environment, I go with the Old-Fashioned or try the Seelbach Cocktail , sparkling with champagne

This bar is full of history and bourbon . Be sure to checkout the bourbon menu.

This place is not the actual bar where F Scott Fitzgerald (and Al Capone) drank. That's downstairs in the Ratskeller. But, the drinks here are fantastic! Old fashioned 's & manhattan 's r delicious.

Imbibe Magazine recognized Old Seelbach Bar as having one of the Best Hotel Bars in the South in their March/April 2011 Southern Issue.

Ask your server or bartender for the "Seelbach Cocktail " - Old Forester bourbon with a splash of triple sec , cointreau , angostura bitters , peychaud's bitters and Korbel champagne .

Beautiful bar . The hot brown is delicious and so is the creme brulee :)

Looks like a conference room off a lavish hotel . The bar serves one hell of a Manhattan .

As a scotch whisky drinker I was ok with Blanton's neat. It was relatively smooth. What a neat bar .

Can't go wrong with the kentucky bourbon barrel ale .

I ordered the sliders . When they arrived, the presentation was nothing special, which I would have overlooked if they tasted good.

Great traditional bourbon bar . The Seelbach Cocktail is a must.

Cindy and Janet are awesome. Tell them April from Maker's sent you.

Listed as a Silver Medal winning bar , it still stands out from the crowd.

I have never felt so conflicted in my life - great band, terrible drinks.

Hard not to find a good bourbon .

The Seelbach Cocktail (bourbon , champagne , sour) isn't bad
