Tasting room opens at former Kenmore Inn

The new owners of the business formerly known as the Kenmore Inn have opened a bourbon tasting room in the basement of the historic property.

The King family, which owns and operates Newport News-based Ironclad Distillery Co., purchased the property at 1200 Princess Anne Street in late 2023. They have renamed it the Ironclad Inn & Bourbon Tasting Room.

The bourbon tasting room is in its soft-opening phase. It’s open noon-6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and noon-8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The inn remains open for overnight stays and events.

More information is on Ironclad’s Facebook page here.

We will feature the business in a “Freehling Finds” video soon!
