Whiskey Bar Sign — I Should Stop Drinking, Carved Wood

The Whiskey Bar Sign Carved a Short Drive From the Rickhouses

A whiskey bar sign ought to come from somewhere that takes whiskey seriously, and ours comes out of Kentucky, where that's roughly a legal requirement. I Should Stop Drinking — carved deep into solid wood — is the confession every home bar owner makes around eleven and repeals by Friday. Of all the home bar quotes on the internet, this is the one guests actually laugh at.

Cut Letters, Not Inked Ones

Barware humor usually arrives printed on tin or foam board — a strange way to honor a spirit that ages a decade in charred oak. We CNC-carve this one into solid Kentucky pine or poplar, letters sunk deep in the grain and finished to sit beside the good bottles without embarrassment. It will outlast the bottle you're saving for a special occasion, and probably the occasion.

Behind Which Bar It Belongs

• Home whiskey bar — hangs over the bourbon shelf like a plea bargain
• Man cave — pairs with neon, improves on it
• Basement speakeasy — the honest disclaimer at the door
• Kitchen bar cart — small sign, full-size admission

The Specs

• Three sizes: Small 16" x 3.5", Classic 24" x 5.5", Bold 30" x 7.5"

For Collectors of Bottles and Excuses

Birthdays, retirements, Derby parties, a groomsman who takes an old fashioned seriously — this sign lands with anyone whose bar has a signature pour. Three sizes fit everything from a cart shelf to the wall above the back bar, and twenty finishes match whatever the bottles are sitting on. Pair it with our other bar and drinking carved signs and let the wall keep a running tab. Ships free in the U.S., from bourbon country itself.

It has a neighbour: the Funny Bar Sign runs “Gin-derella: Stories Start at the Bar” and the two hang well together.
