Nice place. But bartender is smoking/vaping. So nasty. Unprofessional. Who wants that crap all over your drinks and food? Bizarre. Where is management ? Shame . Nice music and lighting. She is crop dusting everyone.

Very cool bar with a huge bourbon selection! It has such a cozy vibe. Prices are very reasonable. We went right before Halloween and they had cute decorations and bowls of candy 😄 it was less crowded than expected at midnight on a Saturday, and we sat at the bar and enjoyed several drinks. Staff was great also. I would love to come back the next time I'm in Louisville!

The owner is the nicest person and the food and atmosphere were awesome!
I go there once a month for a lesbian night and it’s the best night of the month. The staff is friendly and always takes care of you, even when they’re slammed. I do wish the space was more accessible, because my friend who uses a wheelchair can never come. The bathrooms are too small for her device and the back patio has no ramp. Otherwise, the atmosphere is generally very good.

My husband enjoys this bar, and I don’t hate it. Upon first entering, the bar is on your right and tables make an L shape around the room. The decor is kitschy, hodgepodge of various pop culture things. Personally, I found some of the graphic decor distasteful/misogynistic. There’s no real theme. It almost looks like they went to an estate sale and just put it all up on the walls.
Past the bar a lady sets up and makes food, and there is a patio outback with ample seating. They have a beautiful tulip bed on Texas.
The staff seem to help people in the order they arrive, are efficient, and make good drinks. My DH loves their house made sweet and sour mix. It elevates their cocktails and makes it worth the extra drive.
The atmosphere is typical of a Germantown bar, lots of small friend groups, a good mix of music including indie/rap/new wave/etc, People seem to keep to their own groups. I’ve seen both single women and men at the bar not being bothered. The lighting reminds me of the Smokey yellow-orange of the 80’s, but dim.
Unpleasant awkward guy DJing, mumbling, bumping into people. thought he was homeless but no just weird

What a great experience! We absolutely loved it here!! Went on a Monday worried it'd be slow but it was so lively, and the karaoke was a blast!!!
This place is such an excellent gem of a bar. Great cocktails, good environment, locally owned and clearly very much loved. Was so happy to stumble upon it during our travels in Louisville. We will definitely be back.
After several positive recommendations, I came here for the first time with a friend and couldn’t have left faster. The vibes were not welcoming whatsoever.
It wasn’t busy at all, which was nice for a weekend night! The atmosphere was quaint and the decor is interesting; almost like a little treasure hunt when you look at everything individually.
However, we were greeted with a really sub par bartender who rolled her eyes at us for the drinks we asked for like it was an inconvenience to make a 3 ingredient shot. Neither of us were satisfied with service and the weird tension of feeling like we weren’t supposed to be there was pretty off putting.
Disappointing and underwhelming; we won’t be back.
The type of place you can belly up or sprawl out and just melt away a day.
One of the best dive bars in Louisville. The people behind the bar are so friendly and they make some mean cocktails. It's a Louisville staple for a reason.
