I went to Bigg Blue after a UK game with some friends. They couldn't ask for a better location, being right next to Rupp. The decor is modern and cool and we were very comfortable hanging out there for a drink. We had great service and our server was happy to answer all our questions about the drinks.
I was just visiting Kentucky (returning Alumni) so I really wanted a bourbon martini. I decided on the Bluegrass Martini (Makers and Blue Island Puckers) and it was delicious. My friend had the Secretariat (Eagle Rare, Apple Pucker, Cranberry) and I had a sip and loved that too. Bourbon martinis are delish!
Can't wait to go back again some time and try some of their other signature cocktails!
Drinks were fine - a few interesting martinis, of course - but the food was only passable. Â A fair place to meet someone for a few drinks: not too loud, but busy enough. Â Also, be warned: a fair place to run into people ordering expensive bourbon
and diet coke.
My visit was a summer Thursday, but I don't get the impression that this place gets overrun by college students, if that's what you're trying to avoid. Â
I'd recommend going elsewhere for food, though...While it was ok (and included most typical bar options),  there just wasn't anything to recommend it.  Not sure whether the food was too "chain-y," whether there just wasn't much love or passion for the food they were serving coming out of the kitchen, or whether the inattentive service was the main culprit.  (The bartender seemed put-out when my date and I asked for menus when we ordered a second round of drinks.) I just hate to have what should be a fun meal turn out  'meh...'
I mean, if you're staying upstairs and don't feel like roaming far from the hotel, it's fine. Â A good place to have a comfortable dinner without breaking down and eating in your room.
Very good place to get a martini. Went there yesterday and got the "Old Bigg Blue Martini". It had a nice taste to it and the service was pretty average. Waiter for some reason told us not to go for the "New Bigg Blue Martini" and if I am new to a place, I usually go by what waiters/waitresses recommend.
Review Source:Nice, elegant hotel bar, with a good martini selection. Very comfortable lounge areas with sofas and easy chairs, low lit and classy. The only carp is the place gets way too crowded on some nights. But if you're looking for a place to unwind with a group of friends, where you dont have to shout to talk to the person next to you, it's hard to beat!
