Check Out the New Menu at the World’s Longest Bar

Humble Baron, the bar that the Guinness World Book of Records officially dubbed the largest in the world earlier this year, has launched a new menu to go with its whiskey cocktails. The Shelbyville bar — which clocks in at 518 feet with 202 bar stools — is focusing on hearty fare to complement the cooler fall temps.

Located in Shelbyville’s Nearest Green Distillery, Humble Baron’s new menu highlights include smoked wings glazed in Uncle Nearest BBQ sauce, a Tennessee lobster roll in a house-made Tennessee lemon butter, and the “Smokehouse Bloody” cocktail which infuses barbecue flavors into Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, topped off with a mini chicken sandwich.

The Nearest Green campus has also recently opened a second location of Chuck’s Barrel House BBQ — the original is in Lynchburg — serving pulled pork, smoked sausages, and brisket along with sides such as mac and cheese, loaded potatoes, and cornbread.
