Now I don't usually have a problem with stuff like this. I took my daughter to the Artists Barrel. She wanted to check out some of the neat things we saw through the windows. We walked in and started to browse around and started to shop. Then I noticed a lady from behind the counter watching us. She proceeded to follow us around the store so she always had her eyes on us. We checked out after we had found a few items she wanted. The lady was not kind or inviting from the moment we walked into the store. I roughly spent $20 in there. I highly recommend the store merchandise itself! But the lady watching us like we were going to steal or something was ridiculous and rude. I would have given the store 5 stars and a pleasant review. But the lady kind of ruined that.

nestled among the rows of shoppes in this quaint burg. The plus for Artist Barrel is Linda L. We visited mid morning and she was informative and congenial. Truth told, Bardstown oughta just line her up as the ambassador. The place is jammed w/ interesting crafts and retail wares.

I bought a Grinch ornament for an ornament exchange party and it was a huge hit! Everyone was trying to steal it. Very nice things in the store.

Artists Barrel is a unique and cool hand crafted Barrel and decor shop in the historic downtown bardstown shopping district. The store is rather large and has several artists Whose woodwork and other crafts is featured in the store and sold for them. They have all kinds of cool and unique items in this store that vary in price depending on the artist. Some are rather high and others are fair priced. I personally walked away with two items form two different artists on my trip here. I purchased a university of louisville license plate decoration for my self and Burbon Barrel university of Kentucky coat rack for my brothers Christmas present. Overall I really enjoyed This shop. Was a fun browse and the lady working was very friendly and personable. They have lots of cool Bourbon Barrel decor and lots of cool university of Kentucky and Lousiville decor as well for the local college sports fans.

I struck gold at the Artist's Barrel in Bardstown, Kentucky, yesterday. I wandered around among many delightful things and while over at a rack of clothes and such I happened to look down and saw a piece of furniture tucked under the clothing rack and thought for sure it wasn't for sale, but lo and behold it was a Gossip Bench/telephone table/chair marked down to $29 - Whoo Whoo! DO check this place out!!

While I was at the Blind Pig, buying bottles of whiskey, my lady was at the Artists Barrel, looking for knickknacks to bring home from our Kentucky excursion. I was impressed with their layout and various items that I returned the next day to buy some souvenirs to give my family. Artists Barrel is easily located on North 3rd Street, just a couple of storefronts north of East Flaget Sreet. With parking plentiful and short walking distance from all points downtown -- bars, restaurants, and all, you can come to Artists Barrel for various odds and ends-type of purchases. In my visit to the Artists Barrel, I bought Kentucky hats for my Dad and Stepmother, a Kentucky hanging ornament and a bourbon scented candle for my Mom, and a pair of bourbon boxers for my Aunt. It was quite a joyous morning considering I was hoping to do all of my souvenir shopping at one spot and did so at Artists Barrel successfully. Overall, Artists Barrel had everything for what I was seeking during my trip to Bardstown.
