“Amazing seafood, appetizers and desserts (bread pudding is phenomenal)! A must is having Samantha at Sam’s Food & Spirits as our server. Hands down the best food and service anywhere around! We are so glad we stumbled on this place. The manager Sam came and met us personally as well. The entire experience is worth the drive!“

“Went Wednesday and Thursday while staying at The Galt House Hotel but had terrible experience today, Friday, terrible service and nachos so salty we couldn’t eat. Server and manager didn’t seem to care.“

“My favorite weekday drinking dive for over 12 years. Something different every late night to entertain; live music, karaoke, movie night, Jeopardy watch party, weekly cyclist night. Sometimes even just some free drop off pizza from DiOrios. Right on the corner of Germantown and Paristown and just up the street from Old Forester concert hall. This bar is also home of the "Iceberg" , a Titanic inspired cocktail! Some theme decorations (Lego ship!) along the back of bar. Also a great collection of Star Wars figurines on the other half of back bar. Outside food welcome but they do have hot dogs and chili dogs along with a wall of snacks if you need something in your tummy before you throw down some beer etc. Small, but quaint patio in the back. As you head to that patio you'll walk through a cozy movie room that displays posters of past Sunday Cinema movies that are shown there every Sunday at 8. This neighborhood bar doesn't pretend! It's family, it's welcoming, it's a dive, it's fun and so“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheese & Vibes? Say Less. I walked into Cultured thinking I’d have a cute little cheese moment—and walked out a full-blown dairy enthusiast. 🧀✨ If you love great wine, perfectly curated cheese boards, and an atmosphere that makes you feel effortlessly cool, welcome to your new obsession. The selection?? Next level. Every cheese, every pairing, every sip of wine feels intentional, elevated, and just straight-up delicious. Like, I took one bite and immediately started questioning why I ever settled for basic grocery store cheese. (I’ve changed. I’m different now.) And the vibe?? Absolutely flawless. It’s giving "I’m sophisticated but also fun"—the kind of place where you could have a romantic date, a gossip-filled wine night, or just sit alone and pretend you’re the mysterious lead in an indie film. 🎭🍷 Final thoughts? Cultured isn’t just a wine & cheese shop—it’s a lifestyle. If you haven’t been yet, grab your people (or just yourself, no shame) and go treat your taste buds to something truly elite. 🧀🍷🔥“

“We had a great experience! The buffalo chicken egg rolls are a must get!“

“This is the first time my partner and I have been to Louisville and we decided to stop by Meta. If you too decide to stop by you'll be met with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The bartenders were so chill and willing to work with us to get our drinks just how we'd like them. Nataleigh and Khryss were super awesome and made my partner and I feel so welcome! Thank you guys so much for making our time in Louisville that much better! We hope to see you again next time we visit!“

“Everyone is welcome great atmosphere and food“

“I stopped by after work for cocktails with my friend. There is always a nice crowd here. The staff is super friendly and seems to remember faces and names of everyone. The cocktails are well made and they seem to have an awesome wine list. I’d love to come back when they have live jazz music!“

“I've known the owner for well over a decade. It's a great place.“

“Went here to see a show for my partners 21st birthday and the staff were absolutely amazing! Zach was incredibly friendly and helpful, and made a mean cocktail. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for great music and even better drinks!“

“Hidden gem! Do not hesitate.“

“My husband and I had the most incredible time at Whistlepig during our recent trip to Louisville! Our tasting host, Hannah, was such a superstar! She was welcoming, funny, extremely knowledgeable, and instantly made us feel right at home. She really took the time to get to know what we each liked and guided us through a tasting that felt completely tailored for us. We honestly felt like VIPs the entire time! It ended up being one of the BEST parts of our trip and easily a core memory for both of us. If you go, please ask for Hannah, she’ll make your experience unforgettable! And Penny at the bar was a rockstar; we had such a blast chatting with her, and her recommendations didn’t disappoint. Shoutout to Jen too for coming over and sitting with us at the end of the tasting; still can’t wait to crack open our “Jens Blend” and tell our stories about this whole experience to all of our friends for years to come. We can’t wait to come back and see you all again! You ladies ROCK! Keep doing what you’re doing. - Katie & Hector“

“Fun trivia on Wednesday’s!“

“band nights and atmosphere“

“We had a cheeseburger and we shared the hot wings. We had the wings shaken in buffalo sauce and they were perfect. The cheeseburger was so good and had been hand pattied. The bar had several beers on tap.We had good service and the prices were extremely reasonable!It is a tavern. So it is not too kid friendly.“

“Really surprised I hadn't heard of this place before visiting for a friends birthday. We mainly focused on drinks, but they were all show stoppers. Any of their house cocktails are a good idea. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and since it isn't in the middle of downtown or nulu, parking wasn't too bad. Definitely coming by here again!“

“Pretty chill place for a cocktail in one of the newer hotels in downtown Louisville. Friendly staff, abundant choices for hard liquor although it's worth noting that their beer selection is on the small side. Comfortable place to lounge about for a while but drinks are on the spendy side.“

“so much fun me and my husband had a blast.“

“Love this place! Amazing staff 😁“

“People are really friendly they make u feel at home, the atmosphere is amazing, and they always have great live music, Wednesdays are bingo nights and Thursdays they have open mike, hope to see u all there“

“One of my favorite places to hang out. I always feel safe there. Great prices on drinks wonderful back patio.“

“Michaela is the best bartender ever. She had a great hospitality and was super accommodating to her customers! She is so sweet!!“

“Great people always a good time at slammers bar where everyone is like family“

“Unique atmosphere, great cocktails with a wide selection, and the staff was extremely friendly. The owner took the time to give us a little history about the speakeasy and showed us the “special entrance”. Very laid back atmosphere with different rooms for privacy for your group, you can visually see the original wood beams- super cool! Large bourbon selection too!“

“The extremely helpful and polite staff were a true delight. The coffee shop made me a “black eye”, which was strong and delicious. Art work throughout ranged from elegant to eclectic, but all pieces were beautiful. The rooftop bar is the jewel, with outdoor seating, spectacular views, and comfortable conversation spaces.“

“We went here for a bingo event and had an absolute blast! I wont lie, when we first walked in the vibe just seemed off. We weren't greeted by anyone and had no clue where to sit or how to order drinks or food. We finally asked one of the staff members and got it all figured out. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very friendly! The bingo event was so much fun and we won a bunch of really cool prizes! We will definitely be returning!“

“Simply the Best! Highly Recommended!!“

“I absolutely love this place. Great people. Great music. Great drinks. Awesome atmosphere and the staff is incredible. Love Travis and Savannah and Zoey. Great place for fun and friends. Love it.“

“Hands down one of the most unique eclectic literal gems of Louisville“

“I enjoy the people in 100 Pipers they are really friendly and most of them love to get up and dance. The drinks are reasonable, security is around and they keep the bathrooms clean. Great music, need work on balancing the pool table. It's a very mature atmosphere.“

“Limited menu, but great food!“

“Heaven on earthquake. God bless Andy and his wonderful wife Marggie. ?“

“We came to eat lunch and contribute to a benefit. What we found was a 'little teasure'. The food was amazing, the staff was exceptional. Very friendly staff and patrons. It was clean as a pin and the ambiance lacked nothing. From the service to the music and food.....I applaud Steve's Bar & Grill. Our 1st visit...but NOT our last! GREAT PLACE, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 🎗“

“Best resturant / Best food / best cocktails.Waiters and waitress were so friendly. They took so much time to make sure our meal was awesome. We were very tired from the day day of sight seeing. Thank you for taking care of 2 tired travelers.“

“Fun neighborhood bar where everyone stops in to eat grab a drink or watch sports shoot some pool or just meet up with some friends and hang out the bartender Angie is very nice and friendly and the cook hey K D is a very good cook delicious food I may add“

“live entertainment excellent“

“Salmon nuggets with the traditional potato wedges. Salmon nuggets were meaty & soft with "The Club" special sauce - it is tangy. It had capers and something kinda minty - pretty good sauce if you don't mind the capers - gave it 4⭐ cause I like a light spicy with the special sauce. Overall I would get it again.“

“Great atmosphere,great owners I met. very helpful. Deck was beautiful outside. loved the outside decor and vibe. can't wait to go back. especially when it warms up more.“

“Let me start with I loved this bar in the old spot. First time to the new spot. Still the same vibe which is great. Not sure when bars started charging for “Rocks” but have to say it’s a little petty after a $15 pour of bourbon. If you want to figure out how to lose customers keep doing this.“

“Interesting neighborhood bar. I have heard it is a dive bar, but it is not cheap enough to quality as one. They offer a great cider! It's quite a nice place to have in old Louisville. They should cut a window into the pizza place next door.“
