Situated on historic Whiskey Row in Louisville, Repeal Oak Fired Steakhouse is lodged in Hotel Distil at the former site of J.T.S. Brown and Sons’ wholesale warehouse and bottling operations. Serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with a truly iconic weekend brunch from its carefully curated, award-winning menus and extensive collection of more than 200 spirits, Repeal has an impressive wine list that was recognized by Wine Spectator with a Best of Award of Excellence in 2021 and 2022.

“We are also proud to be recognized as one of America’s best bourbon bars by The Bourbon Review for three years running,” shared Lauren Jenney, Area Sr. Marketing Director. “Guests enjoy true culinary authenticity among our award-winning menu of steaks, seafood and decadent desserts, all paired well with signature cocktails, pours of your favorite whiskey and wine sourced from around the world.”

The restaurant’s remarkable spirits and wine collection offers guests the opportunity to enjoy many rare and exclusive bottles that are simply not available elsewhere. And those who may be seeking an ultra-exclusive beverage experience can opt to enjoy Repeal’s growing collection of barrel selects, offered by the glass or bottle.

“Repeal is for those with a taste for excellence, visited by Louisvillians and out of town guests alike who are seeking an authentic dining experience,” Jenney added.

“Our location on Whiskey Row and history as the former site of J.T.S. Brown & Sons’ bourbon is carried through in several areas of Repeal. As the only oak-fired grill on Whiskey Row, our steaks are cooked over an open flame, stoked daily with oak-aged bourbon barrels.”
