Just Add BourbonMay 2, 2011Ask your server or bartender for your Urban Bourbon Trail Passport! Try the "Chocolate Mint Julep" - a twist on the classic drink, it's parts bourbon, sugar, dark creme de cacao and Bailey's mint.
jbrotherloveOctober 7, 2013The "Chocolate Julep Martini" is popular here with good reason. The combination of Maker’s Mark, Dark Crème de Cocoa, and Mint Chocolate Bailey's goes down easy and packs a punch.

You can get appetizers from Blu and sip a drink while you relax after a long day.

"Wish I would have had time to check this place out at night - had a good time here before the Cardinal Game. Will come back next time I'm in town."

"Sort of hard to navigate the main concourse and lower lobby meeting rooms. Certainly not intuitive. Very nice facility overall."
