Summary
May 11 marked the opening of the John G. Carlisle Cafe, giving Buffalo Trace Distillery a permanent dining venue inside its Frankfort, Kentucky campus.
The cafe is housed in the historic Elmer T. Lee Clubhouse, a 1935 building that has served as an employee cafeteria, event venue and breakroom before its latest conversion.
Buffalo Trace, which dates to 1775 and sits along the Kentucky River, is using the addition to broaden the visitor experience at its National Historic Landmark distillery.
The expansion comes as the distillery also promotes a Camp Buffalo Trace sweepstakes, with winners offered overnight stays in luxury air-conditioned tents on the grounds.
