“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!“

“This was my first time there and it was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and they had a card recognizing the birthday person at the table which I thought was very thoughtful. The service was amazing, thank you Anna, and the food was delicious. the food was wonderful from the Oysters Rockefeller to the salads and the steaks, everything was perfect. They ended the night with chocolate covered strawberries for the birthday boy. Thank you Brooklyn and the Butcher for a wonderful experience.“

I never called your establishment. I did my reservation through open table online. So there was NO conversation with you all about being full and I certainly did no decline … More     +5 2  North of Bourbon (Owner) 4 months ago Hi Alli, Thank you for your feedback. We take all reviews seriously, and yours is no exception. We have reviewed your comments with our team to ensure accuracy and to identify areas for improvement. According to our records, we seated you at 6:45 p.m., and the check was closed out at 8:47 p.m., which aligns with the standard two-hour window we strive to provide all guests to enjoy their dining experience, even during busy evening hours. When you called for your reservation, our staff informed you that we were fully booked inside and offered seating at the bar, which you declined. You opted for outdoor seating instead. While we do our best to make our outdoor space as comfortable as possible within the confines of Goss Ave, factors like foot traffic and noise are unfortunately beyond our control. We have not received previous complaints about joggers and certainly not 30 joggers, nor have we had any complaints about the outdoor lighting, which was carefully considered when designing the space. We sincerely apologize for missing the late complimentary champagne toast. It’s unacceptable that it arrived so late in your meal, and we are addressing this internally to ensure it does not happen again. Your comments regarding the food have also been shared with our kitchen team for review and improvement. Our goal is always to provide a memorable dining experience for every guest, and we are sorry that you felt like we didn’t meet your expectations.

We began with an appetizer featuring a beautiful selection of raw and cooked oysters, each one more delightful than the last. The raw oysters were fresh, briny, and perfectly chilled, with a subtle sweetness that made them irresistible. The cooked oysters were equally impressive, rich with flavor and topped with a delicate balance of seasonings that elevated the natural taste of the seafood. Opting for the chef’s choice for the entire meal was an inspired decision. Each course was thoughtfully curated, highlighting seasonal ingredients and creative pairings. The dishes were a perfect balance of flavors, textures, and presentations, keeping our palates intrigued and satisfied throughout the meal. The main courses continued the trend of excellence, with each dish showing a deep understanding of flavor combinations and culinary technique. From the perfect“

“Mmmmmmmmm barrel strength bourbon“

“Epiphany is what this urban farmers' dreams are made of! It's about time there is an OUT OF THIS WORLD Farm to table libation bar (with a solid alcohol free menu)!!! Pick up farm fresh eggs, order a Farm to table libation, and the most delicious bites plates on could imagine! The assorted pickles are far out - try em'! Oh, and one MUST NOT forget about the white chocolate mousse - my lawd. I am now a fan of mousse! Beautiful art is available for adoption on the walls. And you can not go wrong with any of the libations. The flight is a STEAL! I can not remember the cocktail names ordered, but one was cherry focused. While the other is made with turmeric greens and gin. De-lish-must! I mean it. Go. Now!!!!“

“I love Mediterranean food. The Fat Lamb has some of the best I've ever had. The sauces were perfect and everything was cooked perfectly. Stuffed grape leaves, stuffed pita, truffle fries, and my favorite the artichokes. Chef says source is Egypt right now. I want to go back and work my way through the menu. We did 4 appetizers and brought some home--the appetizers are very generous portions. I had the house cocktail. It was different --not sure what the herb was in there but I'd do it again. They use alcohol in their cocktails (imagine that! When so many are watered-down.) This meal was a good value and so delicious!“

“One team member says "Pretty Decent has some of the best cocktails in Louisville. Half bar, half plant shop, it's the perfect vibe for girls night or book club!"“

“Beautiful art deco style bar. Unique drinks. Service was excellent. 5/5“

“Around 6p.m. on Wed and it was empty, but the bartender was very present and cocktails were excellent. Very reasonably priced for such great cocktails. Tried a sampler of house made Prova spirits and all were unique and tasty. They also sell these by the bottle at very reasonable prices. Pretty much knocked my socks off. Do yourself a favor when in nulu, its just 2 blocks. You'll find a new go to.“

“Very small quaint spot for date night! Food is great! Bar area is small & cozy but can get extremely loud!“

“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.“
