“What a find! The Jasmine Bar in downtown Louisville is the kind of place you stumble upon once — and immediately start planning your return.

Tucked into a charming courtyard, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and totally relaxing. It’s the perfect spot for a date night, catch-up with friends, or just treating yourself to a great drink in the sunshine.

The cocktail menu is seriously impressive — with both inventive house creations and elevated takes on the classics. Every drink we tried was thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully made. Bonus points for the live music and the option to rent out the courtyard for private events!

If you’re exploring Louisville or just want to discover a new favorite patio bar, The Jasmine Bar should absolutely be on your list.“

“I’ve had so much fun at Thane’s Table for the last few years. Every time I show up, there is something exciting going on and I feel welcome to participate. Super happy to have discovered such a magical place in my area ❤️“

“Delicious! I dined alone and thoroughly enjoyed my dinner with a couple glasses of prosecco! Spaghetti and meatballs- classic It’s how I judge an Italian restaurant; if I don’t like their sauce I won’t be back. No worries! Perfect pasta and sauce! Tender delicious meatballs! Tiramisu (that I didn’t have room for) rounded out my meal. I recommend Carciofi and when I’m in Colorado again, I’d like to dine here again! Chi mangia bene!“

“This was my first time in and I was blown away. Great atmosphere, excellent service and the owner was extremely attentive to our large party. We had a large group and food and drinks stayed replenished as needed and they were GOOD. We had a big group as satisfying the masses is no small task but they did it. We will be back again and again! Thank you!“

“Food: I had the protein bowl, which had sausage crumbles, bacon, avocado, eggs, and a spinach salad. The bacon was crispy, how I like it, the avocado was fresh, the eggs were cooked well, and the vinaigrette on the salad was great. I enjoyed it very much!

Service: Our server was good, and got all of our specifics correct (I didn’t want the tomatoes on my protein bowl and someone else at the table got an extra egg and bacon). However, the side of bacon came with 3 slices, but they charged us $6 which was a lot!!

Atmosphere: Cozy breakfast spot in the winter, or fun energetic breakfast spot in the summer, it can be both! I like their logo too, which is scattered throughout on the walls. The one thing is that it is pretty loud so sometimes I can’t really hear other people at the table talking.

Overall: I’ve come here maybe 6 times now, and it’s been good every time and is reliable. Also a great place for those on diets! (My friend has celiac and they didn’t cross contaminate any gluten).“

“incredible staff, incredible drinks, and incredible music! this is a local gem!!“

“A speakeasy vibe, classic and modern cocktails, and movie nerds: what more could you want? Even if I'm not seeing a movie, I frequently just stop to see what new cocktails are on the menu. The staff are so excited about great drinks and great (or bad) movies, the experience is always awesome.“

“Street tacos delivered an outstanding meal-every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. However, the service was extremely disappointing. Our server, Alyssa, was inattentive, disengaged, and lacked basic hospitality. She barely checked on our table, didn't seem interested in providing a good dining experience, and made us feel like an afterthought. It was frustrating to receive such poor service when the food was so exceptional. Fortunately, the hostess stepped in, checked on us, and made an effort to turn things around. While the food alone would bring me back, the service needs serious improvement“

“We enjoyed our meal very much. We had the Basil chicken, eggplant, & homemade kha soup. Everything was amazing. DJ was great at recommendations the dishes. Service was excellent!“

“Just had dinner with family & everything was incredible. The decor is interesting, there’s tons to look at. Even the mismatched and kitschy dinnerware. We enjoyed the jalapeño poppers, fried pickles and okra. The cauliflower tacos, brisket sandwich, steak mac and cheese and beyond burger were all made perfect and came out hot and quick. They even split my nieces’ mac in separate bowls without us asking. Our server, AJ, was friendly and timely! Thanks for the good time Waterloo 🫶!“

“Great, huge food! lol - helps to make a reservation.“

“Great margaritas and enchiladas. My kids enjoy the variety and never leave hungry. We'll be back!“
