“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!!!!“

“Very tasty, way Overpriced, Noisy.

Food was good but restaurant was so noisy it was hard to have a conversation. A little over $100 per person for dinner seems excessive then during check out the system prompts for a 30% tip - that's offensive.
-------------
For clarity: My wife and I split one entree, one appetizer, one dessert and one glass of wine for $102 before tip. Thx“

Hummus and Pita

“One of the better 'dusty' bourbon selection.

Came here after asking for a recommendation from one of my bourbon friend. Saw that they have Wagyu Old Fashioned and I was sold right there and then. But didn't expect for it to be that high priced. Is it good? Yes, it's good. Not mind-blowing kind of good though.

Then I moved to trying their bourbon. Which is much better list than lots of other places. Priced property but 1oz pours is (in my opinion) just not enough to savor it. Especially if it's dusty bottles. But I can understand why they pour 1oz instead of 1.5oz or 2oz and double the price. I guess I can't have it both ways.

Atmosphere was okay I guess. People seem to be minding their own and didn't seem to be outgoing/engaging with other patrons. Not the place's fault, maybe it's just how people in L'ville.

Didnt try their food since I'm there for the whiskeys. Although, it's worth mentioning that the bartender that helped me was very cool and nice. I'm very happy with the service. And it's my fault for not asking her name, but she have this short, tomboy-ish kind of haircut. And If you read this, you're awesome and thanks for the help!

Final verdict: I liked it, didn't loved it. Will I go back anytime soon? Probably not. But will I recommend it to someone? Yes I would.“

Prova Spirits Cocktail Bar • $
917 E Liberty St, 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.“

Lucky Penny - Hotel Genevieve Cocktail Bar •

“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.“
