Beehive Augusta Tavern Joins The B-Line
We are thrilled to announce that Beehive Augusta Tavern is now officially part of The B-Line!
We are thrilled to announce that Beehive Augusta Tavern is now officially a stop on The B-Line! With patio season in full swing, we are excited to be a part of the now 19-stop Northern Kentucky bourbon trail which includes a collection of craft distilleries, bourbon bars, and bourbon-centric restaurants. Creating your own unique bourbon experience on The B-Line is part of the fun. Visit The B-Line’s website to see the lineup of sipping points and to find out more about how to create your own unique experience.
The Beehive Augusta Tavern experience begins with the majestic Ohio River flowing past like the current of history. For centuries, the river has delivered characters of all kinds to Augusta: Explorers. Warriors. Scoundrels. Artists. Dreamers….and now Bourbon Drinkers! The river connected them all, and it connects us still—to the remarkable people who shaped this part of the world, and to the equally special folks who pass through our doors today. Being part of The B-Line is helping us pave the way for bourbon drinkers and future generations to experience the historic charm of Augusta, Kentucky while sipping on a glass of Buckner’s bourbon from Augusta Distillery, overlooking the Ohio River and enjoying some delicious food from Beehive Augusta Tavern. We are honored to be a part of this special bourbon trail and want to thank all those involved who have helped make the #JeweloftheOhio be known.
We welcome all to jump on The B-Line and make your way to Augusta, Kentucky. Explorers have an advantage of the unique experience crossing the mighty Ohio on the Augusta Ferry to Kentucky. Located right on the river at 101 W. Riverside Drive, our patios overlook the flowing river and boats passing by. Check our live music events schedule: LIVE at the HIVE. We highly recommend making a reservation in advance. See you on The B-Line!

Kentucky Monthly Feature
Beehive Augusta Tavern was recently featured on Kentucky Monthly!
“Supposedly, it takes 15 to 20 years of hard work to become an overnight success. Augusta’s rush to trendiness began 223 years ago. The hometown of George Clooney and the site of a recent episode of David Letterman’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Augusta, situated on the Ohio River 35 miles upstream from Cincinnati, is quickly becoming Kentucky’s place to be.”
