“As we all know, today I went to Planet of the Tapes. It was a cool summer day and my cousin and I tasked ourselves to find a record store that was open. We did and we went there, then left. That part had little to nothing to do with Planet of the Tapes. We also ate kebabs which is another meaningless fact but not for the bit where I spied a bidet in the bathroom when I went teetee. I too own a bidet and love it! I don’t know if planet of the tapes has a bidet, but what they do have is an excellent unique atmosphere, great tunes that are at the precise decibel of maximum listening pleasure, drinks that are the perfect mix of booze to mix ratio if you are into that sort of thing, and did I mention moon pies? I know what you’re thinking. Chris, there are moon pies at Publix. Why don’t we just drink there? I’ll tell you why…Publix doesn’t have excellent events going on frequently. Where the last time you got to watch a gore movie at Publix. Probably only once and you had to stream it on your tablet didn’t you….and I bet you watched it alone and everyone thought you were shoplifting. I don’t frequent this side of town but there used to be a big fun bar beside it called Jillian’s or something, I can’t remember, anyway ample parking so I don’t have to Uber because I can’t parallel park. Let me tell you something else. If you don’t go here and see what all the fuss is about I will tell everyone that you have the hots for your stepmom and secretly draw pictures of her gams all day then spray her perfume on them. PS I noticed one of the tags above says rooftop. Yes, they have a roof on top.“

“Service is great otherwise, but you're definitely going to wait behind the regulars. Good music, but too loud to enjoy conversation even at the back of bar near the door where it stayed cold from everyone going in and out. I'm willing to give this place a better review because it's obvious in the summer it's a great place to hang out. Dead of winter though- maybe turn the mics down a tad. There's no place except the smoking barn to escape the loud music.“

“Excellent experience and creative cocktails!!!“

“Such a comfortable friendly place!“

“We had a great experience! The buffalo chicken egg rolls are a must get!“

“Dear staff, thank you very very much for your great hospitality: We enjoyed your generosity and kindness on 18 february 2025. Very good and fresh made food in a really nice corner! Best regards from Family KERN from Cologne, Rhineland/Germany!😃“

“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!“

“Fun place run by good people, Fantastic bartenders and a great atmosphere. Sunday Sinema is my pick to click !!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. 🧀🍷🔥“

“Loved the place!“

“Fun trivia on Wednesday’s!“

“I stopped by after work for cocktails with my friend. There is always a nice crowd here. The staff is super friendly and seems to remember faces and names of everyone. The cocktails are well made and they seem to have an awesome wine list. I’d love to come back when they have live jazz music!“

“Blueberry bbq wings are simply Devine. Anxious to try blueberry bbq thighs. Cole slaw tasty. New management making fantastic changes. Chef knows how to blend taste and textures to perfection.“

“What a wonderful place! We came to Louisville to celebrate a birthday and decided to stop by and try all the gay establishments while here. This was by far our favorite - warm and welcoming bartenders and lovely locals that made us feel right at home. It was great meeting all of them and I look forward to stopping by the next time I’m in Louisville (and considering how much bourbon flows through that city, it is going to be soon!)“

“Went here to see a show for my partners 21st birthday and the staff were absolutely amazing! Zach was incredibly friendly and helpful, and made a mean cocktail. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for great music and even better drinks!“

“Typical dive bar/billiards hall vibe. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the pool tables don't work perfectly. Some of the balls would get stuck in the table and staff would have to come work their magic to release them.“

“priced just right. You will feel at home here. great service and friendly atmosphere“

“Highly recommend! This place is so cute and fun, with amazing speciality drinks! :) karaoke is self serve which as I girl that came souly for the karaoke I love! ❤️ only tiny thing I will say is somebody should check that the music isn’t to loud at all times it was very hard to hear what your singing as the music over powers the microphone :/ but still like 10/10!“

“People are really friendly they make u feel at home, the atmosphere is amazing, and they always have great live music, Wednesdays are bingo nights and Thursdays they have open mike, hope to see u all there“

“A huge thank you to The Galt House Hotel in Louisville for the wonderful hospitality during Nick Dittmeier’s stay. The location, service, and comfort were top-notch — a perfect home base for a hometown artist. We’re grateful for hotels that support touring musicians with style and care. 🎶🏨 #NickDittmeier #GaltHouseHotel #LouisvilleProud #TourLife #MusicianFriendly“

You can dfinitely can have a conversation, even when its busy, based on how they spaced seating. Definitely worth a stop even if you aren't staying at the hotel.“

“Good vibes all around, friendly regulars, excellent bartenders, fantastic new outdoor area out back! I love the Nug!“

“I usually go for a fun night with great drinks, Zach and Jake are my go-to bartenders. I want to leave this review based on Halloween night 10/31/25, it was the best time. I haven't had a great night kike that one here in years. I specifically want the DJ to be recognized because the music was perfect. It wasn't all house and Beyonce like usual, it was a mix of everything that had the crowd going all night. I hope to see more DJs and nights like this going forward.“

“100% recommended, A space with all the amenities and excellent service from the owners.“

“Great place for awesome beer and great people. Also, there are some nearby food options including a pizza place next door(Twinspire) that delivers. For those of you looking for an NA option, they have a draft NA IPA that is top notch. Looks like they also have a stage for live music, check them out on social media for a schedule.“

“Really fun location, close to lots of great spots!“

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

“Well it has s relaxing atmosphere and it was fun because family and friends were there. Really enjoyed it. Good music too.“

“We went here for a bingo event and had an absolute blast! I wont lie, when we first walked in the vibe just seemed off. We weren't greeted by anyone and had no clue where to sit or how to order drinks or food. We finally asked one of the staff members and got it all figured out. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very friendly! The bingo event was so much fun and we won a bunch of really cool prizes! We will definitely be returning!“

“Great fun night with friends“

“Limited menu, but great food!“

“Went here for the first time last week and was very impressed. All vegetarian or vegan options which is a plus for me, and the best, widest variety of thali I have found around. The owner was behind the counter and was super helpful.My brother previously lived in India and was also impressed with selection and quality. I’ll definitely be going back and would absolutely recommend.“
