Our Story

More than just a place to eat — it's where you belong.

Backyard Bar & Bistro started with a simple idea: create a space in Bardstown where people can gather, share a meal, and make memories. Located on Cathedral Road, we've become a neighborhood staple for locals and visitors alike.

Our kitchen brings together the best of Kentucky cuisine with a modern twist. Every dish is prepared with care, using fresh ingredients and time-honored techniques. Pair your meal with one of our signature cocktails, and you've got the perfect evening.
