{COVINGTON, KY} Things are continuously humming and buzzing on the Northern Kentucky Bourbon scene…Revival Vintage Spirits and Bottle Shop has both an impressive collection of vintage spirits (not just American Whiskey) and modern day bottles. Founders Shannon Smith and Brad Bonds opened their business just shy of two years ago, and already, they’re making big moves and opening a second location in Covington, KY. Revival, no stranger to us, making our 2021 America’s Best Bourbon Bars list.
The upcoming new location will be within Hotel Covington, a gorgeous chic boutique 55 room hotel property, and slated to open later this year.

Their business is a great fit not only for our project but for the community at large and continues the development momentum in Covington.” – Guy van Rooyen, President and Partner of vR Group.
At the new location, Revival will have a full-service bar on the first floor, boasting one of a kind vintage spirits and cocktails, and will continue with their tasting flights.
On the second floor, Revival will have its library of over 4,000+ bottles for sale ranging from your favorite store picks, to Pappy, to that pre-prohibition spirit you never knew you needed to try.
