    Outdoor seating

    What a cool spot, indoors and out. We went to see the band, Most Wanted play on the outdoor patio. We found on street parking with not much trouble for a week night at 7 pm. We as well as everyone else were carded upon entry. The outdoor space is just lovely, not a big space but table and chair seating in the front, side and in the back of the bar. The inside was also very cool. This is a gay bar but there were plenty of non gay patrons. We did not feel out of place at all, totally accepting crowd. Drinks were $5 for top shelf liquors. Loved the vibe and the band was awesome. Fun to sit on Bardstown Road and listen to live music, watch people on the street and have a drink. Highly recommend.

    Chill is by far the best local gay bar in town! Always great service and great drinks and lots of laughs and good times! Happy hour is an older crowd but still lots of fun!! There is usually a daily event starting around 8pm. Everything from trivia to live music to karaoke and strippers! The front patio is a joy in the fall and spring!

    My partner and I made an impromptu stop here during Bardstown Rd Aglow just before Christmas. We were drawn in by the amazing light displays and the sound of Christmas carols being rehearsed just outside the bars doors. We had spent a nice evening shopping and eating our way down Bardstown Rd and were in desperate need of a holiday drink. Chill Bar did not disappoint. I had a lovely Tipsy Apple Martini garnished with an old fashioned caramel cream and my partner had a tasty alcohol infused slushy. The bar was tastefully decorated for the holidays and the atmosphere was inviting, festive, and friendly. We especially enjoyed the inclusive vibe. We will return next time we're in the area and in need of a place to "chill"

    During Pride weekend!

    Energetic but relaxing. Upbeat but...chill. Love coming to Chill Bar! It's always a good time and always full of good people. The staff is great here. Knowledgeable about their cocktails. I've never had a drink I didn't love. I've tried many of their signature cocktails over the years and enjoyed them all. From dry to sweet, they really know how to craft a great drink. And friendly as well. The patio is great. Always packed and hopping. The outside bar is busy but they're quick to get the drinks out. The patio can get a little packed sometimes. On busier nights you'll struggle to find elbow room. But the folks here are fun and you'll meet good people. Not too many seats, so move around and make friends. Love the shade from the giant tree out front and the decorations you'll often see on the patio on big nights. The scene inside is more upbeat than the patio. The DJ is always great and the light show keeps people dancing. I've only experienced Chill Bar on the weekends so I can't speak to the weekdays - but it's always a blast on Friday and Saturday. Among the gay bars in Louisville, or elsewhere, it's one of the best. And the relaxed but vibrant patio makes it a little different than some other options. Definitely recommend!

    Trivia night DISNEY has begun

    Went for Trivia night..... Will never go again..... It is essentially fixed.... If you don't go there all the time and are in with people they're not gonna overlook people cheating.... For the most part it was fun until we realized there was no possible way that we could play fair and win. Sad, because it is An awesome atmosphere in could be a really funny Night....

    See all
