AI on the Rocks

The Location

Where we pour. The Fort.

Every episode of AI on the Rocks is filmed at The Fort — an intimate, tucked-away space in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. It's a hidden-feeling, keypad-only spot built for groups who want privacy, comfort, and a vibe that turns "just a conversation" into a story. Cozy common area, big-table energy, and a setting that feels warm and intentional, not rented and fluorescent.

Deeply Embedded History

Production Value

Built like a real production

4K cinema cameras, a multi-cam setup, a real crew, and a set dressed with intention. The conversation stays casual — the craft behind it doesn't.
