28 Best Cocktail Bars near New Albany

“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!“

“Salma was amazing! 🤩 5 stars! Chips and salsa were legit!“

“You can always get to menubourbon for your bottles. He is trustworthy and highly recommended“

“The Hangover is such a delicious sandwich! We love all the great events they throw here and the staff is so cool!“

“The steaks are so delicious. I don't know what kind of seasonings go on them but believe me you don't need any bling bling to go with. the mashed potatoes are the creamiest mashed potatoes I've ever had in my entire life and I love them. The macaroni and cheese was also very good. We also had some really great drinks. The only downside I would say to where we sat was in the corner very dark, and we had a direct view of the kitchen wash basin“

“We love it here! The entire experience is fantastic.“

“Mmmmmmmmm barrel strength bourbon“

“Excellent service and savory dishes.
We were late due to traffic and when I called to let them know, they told me to stop by. This was at 9:45pm, they close at 10pm.
I told them I didn’t have to bother their team but they insisted.
We enjoyed our dinner, I showed my appreciation with a very generous tip, as their professionalism and consideration was beyond what many restaurants showcase nowadays.
Thank you guys, we’ll come back at a decent time next time we’re in Louisville!“

“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!!!!“

“This is the best place to go for craft cocktails and the best whiskey in town!“

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

“My friend and I had an awesome time conducting the tour and tasting at Michter's. Our tour guide was Page; she was very knowledgeable and explained the history of Michter's and the bourbon-making process well. The distillery at this location is small but has everything needed to make tasty bourbon. The tour was great, but the best part is always the tasting. We got to try seven different pours, and they were all phenomenal. My favorite was the barrel-strength sour mash, which, sadly, was not in stock that day. This was a great tour, and I highly recommend it.“

“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!"“

“We went to Repeal Steakhouse last night for a bachelor party with a group of 15, and overall, it was an excellent experience.

While there were a few issues with getting our large group seated at the beginning, the staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Their hospitality truly stood out and ended up being one of the best parts of the experience.

The bourbon selection was absolutely out of this world, and the food did not disappoint. The appetizers were excellent, the steaks were amazing, and the desserts were great as well.

For a large group, they could not have been more accommodating, and we really appreciated everything they did to make the night special. The hospitality alone put the entire experience over the top for us.

Highly recommend Repeal Steakhouse if you’re in Louisville. Great food, an unbelievable bourbon selection, and truly outstanding hospitality.“

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

“It's rare that we have a date night on a weekday with two young children, but tonight was the exception. When I realized our anniversary was falling on a Wednesday, Perso was the first place that came to mind. Perso's Prix Fixe Menú is available every Sunday through Wednesday and offers a three course meal for $29. It's no secret that I'm a fine dining enthusiast; but who doesn't love a bargain? If you're looking for a nice night out without breaking the bank, this is your spot. Perso sits at the corner of Oak and Shelby in the same location as the former Square Cut Pizza. The giant windows in the front provide an abundance of natural light. The interior has a modern industrial vibe with painted exposed brick, plants, and Edison bulbs hanging on pendants. One wall with wooden slats gives a Scandinavian feel to the main dining area. It's a small-ish intimate space with a beautiful patio. For my first course, I chose Crostino Di Tonno- olive oil poached tuna, stracciatella, pickled celery, and Calabrian chili. I followed my first course with olive oil poached swordfish, corn chowder, and golden zucchini scapece. For dessert, I had the chef's choice: apple strudel with whipped cream cheese. My husband chose heirloom tomato with roasted eggplant, bagna couda, and fine herbs. For his main course, he had pork tenderloin with edamame, beef dashi, and fine herbs. We both opted for the chef's choice for dessert. I tasted each of his courses and they were every bit as delicious as my own. The edamame provided the perfect texture and his tenderloin dashi tasted gravy-esque without being overly heavy. Mostly notable, besides the insane deal for such decadence, was the fresh flavor combinations throughout. Our table had fresh rosemary as a centerpiece. The corn chowder was right up my alley. I could've licked my bowl if I wasn't trying to pretend to have a bit of class. The swordfish was tender, juicy, and not overly fishy. The tuna flatbread was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The mint on top of my whipped cream cheese truly set it apart. My lavender Manhattan was earthy and smoky, not just in flavor. It was literally smoking. My husband had an old-fashioned. Neither of us were disappointed. Our server, Amanda, was phenomenal. She offered recommendations. She visited our table to ensure we were satisfied the perfect number of times. Her warm demeanor was professional while also being personable. She was everything we hope for in a server. Perso's Sunday through Wednesday Prix Fixe Menú is hands-down one of the best opportunities for an affordable night out. That being said, once you get a taste of what they have to offer, you'll be sold on splurging any day of the week.“

“Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Food was great, atmosphere out of this world. Best dinner we had in Louisville!“

“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.“

“delicious food, large portions, perfectly prepared. amazing staff.“

“Great experience yesterday at Copper & Kings with 6 of us! Visiting family here from Long Island, NY, we know about wine production, but nothing about Brandy/Bourbon. Our tour guide extraordinaire Ryan, taught us so much fascinating info to go along with the sampling of product! The sonic maturation process left us all amazed. The tastings, with unique chocolates, in a striking rooftop area looking at the Louisville skyline, was elevating, and now just bc we were on the roof!
Ryan was knowledgable, interesting to listen to, and a natural tour guide.
Thanks for a memorable experience!“

“Seven is the my type of vibe! The cocktails are delicious and individually crafted, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly; and the decor is astounding! Definitely my favorite bar and will return over and over again ✨💕“

“Ryan gives an amazing tour. The rooftop bar is a must. Tracy, Janine, and Roman are amazing at the bar. All very knowledgeable. This is the best kept secret in Kentucky amongst all the bourbon stops. Make Brandy a priority!!! Make this place a priority.“

“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.“

“Just had a wonderful experience, the staff was awesome at explaining everything to us as newbies. Took my husband axe throwing for Father’s Day and we had a blast! The atmosphere was lowkey and unassuming, and the other players were awesome at rooting everyone on despite us all being strangers. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose you’ll be guaranteed to have fun no matter what. The whole setup is so innovative but also very user friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“We were sat promptly and had wonderful service throughout our stay. Our waitress, Danielle, was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and accommodating. Jasmine and John were wonderfully attentive to our needs, clearing plates and refilling drinks. The food was deliciously prepared. Highly recommend the house dessert! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience!“

“WE celebrated our first date at Ricky B's last Friday. This place is awesome! It has the atmosphere of a true night club. Rick.y's playing and singing was the best. Service was great! We will be back.“

“I went to the Bottle Shop specifically. And its amazing. They have a limited but amazing and fair priced selection of allocated bottles, and without doubt the best selection of ultra rare bottles anywhere. And even those are fairly priced. Service with the tasting was amazing, the staff member I talked to knew his stuff and was incredibly helpful and welcoming. I'd drive out to Louisville again just for this place.“

“amazing food and drinks. loved the lobster Mac taco!“
