Whiskey Bars in Louisville, KY

“Mmmmmmmmm barrel strength bourbon“

“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!“

“Was gifted this experience from family and now I feel outdone. My husband and I were able to create a bourbon we both loved, and got to take home! Sydney was an excellent mixologist who was knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend!!“

“Our tour guide Rebecca was a real pro — enthusiastic and entertaining. The kinda girl you want to enjoy a Michters cocktail with to hear about the inner workings of their whisky— which is absolutely top notch. Big thanks to her for the great tour.“

“Quaint, quiet, couple atmosphere nice drinks I will be back“

“Angel’s Envy is absolutely stunning – both inside and out. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re surrounded by a warm, polished atmosphere that feels intimate yet world-class.

The tour itself was outstanding. Our guide was impeccable – knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the craft. The entire experience was informative, interactive, and full of fascinating details about the bourbon and whiskey-making process. I left feeling like I truly understood and appreciated the artistry behind each bottle.

The tasting was the perfect finale – the pairing with chocolates was nothing short of incredible. It elevated the flavors in a way I’ll never forget.

Cons? The only thing I’d mention is that the gift shop merchandise felt a bit excessively expensive. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall experience in the slightest.

Would I come back? Absolutely. This is a bourbon destination worth revisiting again and again.“

“We found this gem looking for a cigar lounge to relax. OH MY DEAR GOD how is this place not just packed to the gills with people. A large variety and eclectic bourbon. Friendly staff. You can buy hard to find bottles at damn near MSRP. Of this isn't on your list of to see places your missing out. We had a bourbon from 1940 and it was fantastic.“

“We went to the barrel room for Angels Envy 5 course meal pairing. Master distiller Owen was excellent in his choices of pairing, his conversation and manner. Chef selections, quality and presentation were spectacular. We've enjoyed Repeal in the past and will definitely be back“

“Fantastic burgers, service, and vibes! The Peanut butter fudge milkshake is the AMAZING“

“Our server, Abby, was terrific. Our bartender, Mike, is best in class and makes perfect recommendations. The chef, Jeremy, makes the best shrimp and grits I've had. Everyone there is incredibly friendly. Jeremy talked with us after the kitchen closed and was really charming. If you live in or visit Louisville and don't eat here, you're missing something special.“

“This was such a great spot - Anthony was the secret ingredient to the experience. He was a delight to chat with and set the standard for the service level - that said, the berry salad with salmon was tasty! The way the salmon was cooked paired perfectly and the portion was just right. I also adored having coffee in tea cups, it felt so elegant and posh. I will go back.“

“We loooooove the Silver Dollar!! We're so happy that our favorite neighborhood restaurant has reopened. We are looking forward to trying all of their new menu items. My dog & I enjoy sitting out back on their cute patio & my son is addicted to the Chicken & Waffles. I'd highly recommend Silver Dollar to anyone who wants to refine their bourbon palate. We've been indulging in the $40 bourbon flight specials on Wednesdays. All the Silver Dollar bartenders are very demure, very mindful especially Jay! We loooooove Whiskey by the Drink“

“Simply the Best! Highly Recommended!!“

“We decided to try out the restaurant and I am so very happy we did. The mood is very relaxed and comfortable with large comfy chairs and even areas with couches for seating. Our server, Adam, was truly amazing and made us feel welcome and like a priority. We had a couple of the specialty cocktails and they were divine. The addition of the monogrammed large ice cubes was a great touch. The bread. The bread comes to the table with a tallow candle and lemon juice on the plate. It was truly delicious. All of us raved about our meals. The topper was dessert. The manager, Tim, let us know that the last piece of our first choice was not up to their standards. This is amazing. I love that the restaurant is keeping their food standards so high. Our second choice was still remarkable. This is definitely on my list for anyone wanting a great experience from food to ambiance to service.“

“I recommend this unique cozy speakeasy. Nice selection of unique cocktails all well prepared. Comfy, warm, unique atmosphere with several sections. Staff were personable, knowledgeable and friendly. Make sure you make a reservation before going.
I didn't give any stars for food because we didn't eat anything. However they have small bites available to eat on their menu.“

“Incredible place from top to bottom! They went above and beyond accommodating our group. Ami was sensational! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I highly recommend this place. Best food we had i. The week we spent in Louisville. The Merle’s Melt was fabulous as were the garlic Parmesan fries and candied maple bacon.“

“Wonderful ambience and drinks. The appetizer we got was amazing too!“

“Awesome stop for a custom whiskey flight. I hit the jackpot with expert bartender CC, who took my request for a custom whiskey flight as a challenge and knocked it out of the park with three choices setup in the perfect order. She knew the story behind each one and quickly looked up some additional details on her phone when she wasn't sure. The bar is clean and spacious and full of light. Whiskies are arranged by family for easy identification. She described a "Black Manhattan" that sounded delicious, but I'll have to try that next time. Proof on Main makes the perfect place to treat your taste buds while waiting for a distillery tour. Slainte!“
