The space
Three bedrooms, two bath, with an industrial feel "The Top Shelf was designed to create a connection with Kentucky history in luxurious surroundings.

Guest access
Our guests will be renting the entire space. Access is 48 steps above the Goodfellas Patio. Well worth the climb!

Other things to note
The space is one of a kind. We completely understand that it may not be for everyone. It is forty feet up in air. It is on top of a bar that frequently has live music. It is adjacent to a distillery with the smell of cooking bourbon. The industrial air conditioners for the restaurants are also on the roof, and can be a little noisy (earplugs provided). Oh, and there is a train nearby. But everyone who has stayed has LOVED it! It is in the middle of the action and overlooking everything. It's cool, unique, with three patios and you can grab a giant slice of pizza and a craft cocktail by simply walking downstairs.
Note, while kids are welcome, they need to be watched closely, given the 3 patios with railings and the steps leading up to the condo.
