“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.“

“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!“

“Checking in with a collection of my experiences -- all of which have been resoundingly positive. I especially enjoy some of the appetizers and the happy hour menu, with the Brussel Sprouts & Hummus (pictured) and Calamari coming to mind. For my taste it's the perfect balance between comfort food and upscale, you can tell the menu has been well thought out and that the food items are designed to be a little more interesting and tasty than cut-and-paste bar food, while at the same time the vibe isn't overly pretentious. I think there's something to be said for knowing your lane and not pretending to be something you're not -- and Ironwood Grill does that perfectly. I always feel welcomed, I always feel relaxed, and I never leave hungry. I spent my 50th birthday and myself and all my guests (of which there were many) were well attended to and taken care of. I will continue to be back again and again and feel great about supporting this locally run enterprise.“

“The Pina Loca dish tasted straight out of Mexico and enough for two people. It was delicious. The margaritas were very generous and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The menu is extensive with lots of dishes not seen at your typical Mexican restaurant.“

“The hotel is clean, has great amenities, great breakfast, an outstanding pool, beautiful outdoor courtyard, and is conveniently located and surrounded by great restaurants, and the staff were all exceptional! Tammie at the front desk was always so helpful and nice and the gentleman, who had actually just started working at the café, was so nice and had outstanding customer service. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms, especially the one with the balcony, were so warm and inviting! We highly recommend this hotel, and would definitely return.“

“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 🫶!“

“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.“

“Chris was the best bartender I've had in a long while! He was personable, quick, attentive and made some killer drinks! Food was delicious as well. All great recommendations from Chris. Cool vibe, switched to the games we wanted to watch. The guy made us feel like family, and we will be back very soon!!!“
