19 Best Wine Bars in Louisville

“We went for brunch! It was heavenly. The espresso martini didn’t depresso. Excellent! My Hubby had a dish with their red sauce & I cannot wait to return for dinner for THAT sauce.“

“We stopped by after an early bird Valentines Day. The staff was so welcoming and lovely. The decor is great and matches us perfectly; he loves bourbon, I likes wine. The game corner with cozy couches was a great place to unwind. The 6 flights were a great option to sample the extensive wine list at a super reasonable price. We are so sorry to have slept on this gem for so long. They hold several events, tastings and socials. Looking forward to adding to our regular rotation and checking out the calendar!“

“This is a definite must I have been here twice and both times I have had excellent service and the food is excellent“

“My sister and I shared a wonderful evening at Cuvee last night. We overindulged on some recommended reds, and thoroughly enjoyed sharing a few small plates and the dinner special of salmon over fettuccini pasta. We were pampered by the staff and treated to a birthday dessert. We can't wait to come back.“

“Best wine bar around!! 🥂🍾❤️“

“Excellent wine / cocktail choices, and music.“

“My friend and I went to Jeff Ruby‘s in 2024, and we were very impressed. The food and service was phenomenal! We will definitely go back there again.“

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

“Great whiskey made by great people. The ryes are perfect for pairing with food!“

“My bf & I stopped by for a casual night out since we had heard some fairly good things about the place and omg did it exceed expectations. As soon as you walk in you're met with a gorgeous display of plants--most of which you can buy. The bar itself was very clean & the menu was incredibly elaborate. It had a few items I wasn't really familiar with, I tend to go the basic route when it comes to my drinks, but when I saw a coconut matcha drink (non-alcoholic) I knew I needed to give it a shot. As someone who's taking a bit of a break from drinking I don't feel like I missed out in the slightest, it was super light, delicious, and incredibly cute.

The bartender was very personable, immediately asked if we had any dietary restrictions/preferences, & could tell us the ingredients in each drink. He literally told us how one drink was brewed in a way that included shrimp in their process (bf is vegan, couldn't have that one) & it was a canned item--I cannot stress enough how knowledgeable/selective this man was about his menu. He was very easy to talk to (and bless his heart we did talk his ear off for a bit lol), but you can tell how much he cares about his job. We will absolutely be back to try more drinks and maybe buy a plant or two“

“Terrific meal and service!! I“

“Connors has been a longtime favorite of ours. Over the years, we have had several good meals here, with service that often went above and beyond. I know how hard restaurant work is, and I’ve always appreciated the care the staff put in. But our most recent experience left us disappointed. The service was unexpectedly inattentive. We ordered a nice bottle of wine, but our server never returned to refill our glasses. A French fry order was forgotten, and when we asked about it, things seemed to unravel. The server was visibly exasperated. A supervisor eventually stepped in, handled things professionally, and assigned a new server—but by then the mood had shifted. This wasn’t just any lunch—it was a farewell meal with a dear friend leaving town, and I’d hoped for a flawless experience. At over $230, I expected more attentive service. I don’t share this lightly. Connors has been a place we’ve enjoyed many times. But this visit left me disappointed, and I won’t be returning anytime soon. There are many excellent Sarasota restaurants where $250 buys not just a good meal, but service that feels genuinely welcoming.“

“Friendly bartenders and delicious drinks (pictured is an espresso martini). There is a patio area in the back where they had bingo, but I did not get the chance to check that out. They offer live music and have outdoor seating, bar seating and large booths available as well. Cozy vibe and a great place to relax.“

“Amazing food! Get the scallops, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Having been fans of The Capital Grille since it opened in Rhode Island in 1990, we were thrilled when it finally opened here in Louisville in 2023. We've been frequent diners there ever since. Louisville has many high-end steak restaurants, but The Capital Grille outshines them all.“

“amazing food, very intimate setting - perfect to celebrate an anniversary or any occasion. The manager was exceptional. highly recommend“

“Friendly staff and very professional. Can understand how this place has become the L’ville icon that it has become.“

“one of the best places in town amazing location with alot of history and some of the best staff around“

“I went to Ruth's Chris to enjoy a solo dinner night before the $55 3 course meal deal ended. My 2 servers that attended to me were great. I opted for the ceasar salad, steak which I added a lobster tail, brussel sprouts, and cheesecake was the dessert offered. The steak was just ok. The server said it was a NY strip but the texture and taste gave cheap sirloin vibes. I'll stick to their filets from now on (lesson learned).The rest of my food was delicious especially the lobster tail with the clarified butter. It was so sweet and delicate. It wss a little loud that night d/t a few large groups celebrating birthdays but overall a great experience once again“
