50 Best Cocktail Bars near Lyndon

“I was happy enough with the place but not enthusiastic. The wait staff was excellent. The food was good but not great, cocktails were only ok, and it ended up costing more than expected. Nothing was really bad, but it wasn't really good either.“

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

“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!!!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!"“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 ✨💕“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Dylan was a wonderful server and my husband and I had an amazing meal. The mussels were incredible the ribeye was tender and cooked perfectly. The salmon was absolute perfection as well. Cocktails were great! Dylan was kind, polite and extra helpful and knowledgeable when it came to the menu. Will 100% be back next time we’re in town.“

“Excellent experience and creative cocktails!!!“

“The food is wonderful and you get to cook the meat yourself at your table! Pretty awesome!“

“The ultimate Speakeasy! Thank you for a classy evening!“

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

“I have been looking forward to having my
Birthday dinner here for months. And it did not disappoint. Everything was incredible, the apps, (oysters and bone marrow) we split 2 flights of different steak cuts, along with the toro wagyu. For sides(shareable) we had the carrots, zucchini, fries, mushrooms, twice baked potatoes. For dessert we had the apple crisp, banana cream pie, and the birthday special which is a cornbread pudding. The Only thing that wasn’t spectacular was the oysters and they were still solid this place is the place for special occasion. 10/10. Thank you for a great birthday meal!“

“Always enjoy our dinner and drinks at The Pine Room. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Chefs kiss every time!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheese & Vibes? Say Less. I walked into Cultured thinking I’d have a cute little cheese moment—and walked out a full-blown dairy enthusiast. 🧀✨ If you love great wine, perfectly curated cheese boards, and an atmosphere that makes you feel effortlessly cool, welcome to your new obsession. The selection?? Next level. Every cheese, every pairing, every sip of wine feels intentional, elevated, and just straight-up delicious. Like, I took one bite and immediately started questioning why I ever settled for basic grocery store cheese. (I’ve changed. I’m different now.) And the vibe?? Absolutely flawless. It’s giving "I’m sophisticated but also fun"—the kind of place where you could have a romantic date, a gossip-filled wine night, or just sit alone and pretend you’re the mysterious lead in an indie film. 🎭🍷 Final thoughts? Cultured isn’t just a wine & cheese shop—it’s a lifestyle. If you haven’t been yet, grab your people (or just yourself, no shame) and go treat your taste buds to something truly elite. 🧀🍷🔥“

“Ate here for the first time this morning, and will most definitely go again! The food was fantastic, the wait staff professional and friendly, atmosphere enjoyable and very relaxing. Highly recommended!!!“

“Excellent service, delicious menu, good prices!“

“this place is unbelievably good, and so fairly priced. my friend and I came for the first time today and I got 3 tacos, an order of guacamole, and 2 margaritas for under $50!!!

the cactus and mushroom tacos were phenomenal and will absolutely have me coming back. my friend really enjoyed her chicken tacos.

I'm sure the beyond taco would have been great too, but I was so stuffed I couldn't do it haha.

the service was really kind, efficient, and fast!

overall a fantastic experience and I am so sad I didn't know about this place sooner.“

“This was our first time here and we loved it it’s a nice lil cozy place we ate inside and it’s beautiful inside food was magnificent I love a good chili dog this placed top all other places waitress was on top of things fast food came out hot and pretty fast love this place“

“Had a wonderful with a lovely staff and atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly. Fantastic experience. Our party tried three different cocktails, all of which were a perfect balance between alcohol and flavor. My favorite drink was the “NY State of Mind”. We had the garlic knots and I can not express enough that these were the best garlic knots I’ve had. Pizza was flavorful and the crust was crispy. Could not have picked a better place for lunch. Next time I find myself in town, I will definitely be stopping by again.“

“Food and service were great! We had the ribeye and the chicken fried chicken, both seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Sides were just as good. We will definitely return!“

“The Nugget is hands down the coolest bar in town with strong drinks, good food, ideal service, a number of activities & amusements, and live music. No wonder its a neighborhood favorite with many regulars and the first stop of out of towners!“

“Chicken Empanadas are delicious!!!“

“I have only been to the bar area twice and it is a pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff“

“We are local and live in the neighborhood and want to support local businesses. We had amazing service, however for brunch the menu is very limited with no side options to add, what we did choose was good, however for the second time NO COFFEE and said machine was still broken! Brunch? NO Coffee?“

“Food was prepared so well!! All our dishes were nice portions, excellently prepared. Sangria was better than we had in Spain! Waitress was very busy but served us well The only big negative was the noise level. You could not hear folks at your table We would return considering the food was top notch! Yummy mushroom soup, crepe, meat croquettes, empanadas, etc.“

“Went with a party of 10 originally and ended up having about 15 kids included. Nearly every single order was wrong, cold, or took 40+ minutes HOWEVER the ones that were correct were delicious and our server was fantastic and kept a friendly attitude despite the complaints and issues“

“Enjoyed our daughter’s birthday dinner on the rooftop. Great food and service! Friendly staff across the board. Loved Mentalist Thursday! Mind blown!“

“I finally got to drop by Switchboard. This place is literally down the street from where I work. They open at 7 AM and I’m not gonna lie, it’s been on my list for places to visit especially when you need that morning coffee! It’s part of the Myriad Hotel and it’s very adorable. They do coffee as well as cocktails. I decided to get a chai latte. The space is very inviting with a great ambience. They have ample seating which is a great option on a day where you have time to hang out. My dirty chai latte was very tasty with a shot of espresso. I can’t wait to go back and grab a pastry. It will make for a lovely treat on a workday.“

“My wife and I brought our two daughters to Le Moo tonight to celebrate our youngest turning two tomorrow. We didn’t reserve a birthday table or expect anything special, but as we were leaving I politely asked the hostess if it would be possible to get two balloons for our kids. The hostess kindly grabbed two balloons and was about to hand them to me when her manager stopped her and told her she was not allowed to give them to my children. The hostess was clearly embarrassed and apologized. I told her it was no big deal and didn’t make a scene, but I’ll be honest — it was disappointing. As a business owner myself, I fully understand that you can’t accommodate every request, and policies exist for a reason. That said, after spending around $500 on dinner, and having two young children who were the only kids visibly in the restaurant, being denied two balloons — something that likely costs pennies — left a sour impression. My family has spent thousands of dollars at Le Moo over the years, and this was one of our more disappointing experiences. I do want to be very clear that our waitress, Kay, was absolutely fantastic. She provided excellent service and made the dining experience enjoyable up until that final interaction. I’m sharing this not to demand anything, but simply to provide feedback. Small gestures matter, especially when celebrating moments with young kids. Unfortunately, this was a miss for us tonight.“

“Jane has a lifelong customer out of my friends and me! We sprung a huge group of people on them on a Saturday night after our wedding (our after party reservation was sadly canceled at another bar). They quickly adjusted and took incredible care of us. The staff was wildly friendly and the vibes were pitch-perfect on their back patio. We loved it so much we went back twice the next day and enjoyed talking to their bartenders in a quieter setting. We love a welcoming dive! Thanks for everything, Chewy & Jane staff!“

“Megan is a fantastic waitress. She anticipated our parties every need. She knew everyone’s drink and kept everyone filled. She not only cared for our table of 12, but also several other tables. We will always ask for her by name! Love the vibe in this restaurant.“

“i love condado tacos and jonie is the best!!!!“

“Wha an amazing place! The drinks are amazing, the food is incredible, and the service is some of the best we’ve ever had. We will for sure be coming back each time we are in town. Highly recommended!!!“

“So after my last Salon visit, I needed a way to watch the rest of U of L game, as I was walking back to my car I realized there were new places that I could explore and watch the game. I popped into mashup blue which will have its own review at its own time and then moved over to moon song now this is side of the temple Hilton that’s in downtown Louisville. The tempo is so well appointed and such a beautiful space as a hotel I wish I was a tourist so I could stay here. Maybe I still could! Inside this location is moon song which features an excellent breakfast menu coffee, and drinks at happy hour. They had the game on so I was able to watch that from the bar and they had specials which included a mango margarita. The margarita was excellent, one of the best that I’ve had at a restaurant in the last few years. They also had a special old-fashioned that was on the menu as well. The bartender was lovely and she was so attentive to all who approached the bar area. I wish I could’ve been there at an earlier time to have experienced coffee. It really was an excellent experience and I look forward to being back at this location.“

“Let me start with I loved this bar in the old spot. First time to the new spot. Still the same vibe which is great. Not sure when bars started charging for “Rocks” but have to say it’s a little petty after a $15 pour of bourbon. If you want to figure out how to lose customers keep doing this.“

“We visit often happy hour is a must! Margaritas the best! Happy hour is great $6 margaritas Brunch is great! Dinner is fabulous every single time Thank you naive family!“

“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.“
