    Blackberry Bourbon Smash

    Wonderful service and delicious drinks. Several large screens playing the latest sports games with music in the background, great atmosphere for hanging out. Highly recommend the Blackberry Bourbon Smash!

    The Conservatory at the Galt House is located in the atrium, which is the bridge that connects the two towers. It is a full bar with a few featured cocktails and the atrium itself has plenty of seating. Some come to watch the large TV screens (especially sports games) while others relax in the wingback chairs nears the windows. At night the windows light up to create a vibe for those inside and outside looking in. Like most bars, the Conservatory has 2-3 bartenders taking care of the crowd so you'll need to be patient as you wait to order. Last call occurred around 11:30p on a Saturday evening, which took us by surprise. That's early for Louisville. We sat for another hour enjoying our drinks and watching the team wipe down the tables. No food is available here; however, private party events that are catered can be scheduled. The Conservatory offers a nice option for those not wanting to leave the hotel for a cocktail - or someone who needs a more exciting view than their room or the lobby. ** side note: the atrium also hosts guests throughout the day and there's a small grill available for snacks, drinks, coffee, etc.

    view from room!

    We went up to the Conservatory Bar after a Saturday afternoon tour at Evan Williams. We were able to find a high top table for our group of 6 and grabbed cocktails from the bar. I chose a blackberry concoction which the bar was out of, but they were able to substitute blueberries instead. Either way, it tasted great! The bar offers scenic views of the river as well as the street below. It sits in the atrium between the two towers of the Galt House hotel. I can't say anything super "special" about this bar but it seems to serve its purpose as a stop along the way to your next activity. It reminded me of an airport bar without the booming loudspeaker announcing gate changes!

    Oh that view

    This is a nice, casual setting. I really liked the aquarium bar top, and the big bird cage. Unique touches!

    Knock off early from work? Great place to have a quiet cocktail and people watch in the afternoon.

    For my last night in Louisville, I just happened to accidentally stumble upon this place on the way…read moreback to my hotel. Hipster speakeasy vibe is written all over the spot. I appreciated the amount of space, and there were even a few tables outside. Bar seating, table seating, couch seating... I think I peeped a small room in the back too... all the options! When I was there, it was mostly empty, but people did come in and out. It was easy to tell who the visitors and regulars were haha. I enjoyed just hanging out, people watching, and chatting with the friendly bartenders. They have cocktails and mocktails in abundance... there's literally something for everyone. And they even had these chocolate shot glasses. So cool! All in all, the place just seems like a perfect neighborhood bar. They don't have food, but there's plenty of options around to bring in there. Music was great too!

    Pulled up to this swanky spot around the corner from our Airbnb to get the night started. The…read moreladies behind the bar had great energy and took our orders as soon as we were ready. The originally cocktail I ordered didn't satisfy me like I'd hope and the ladies were kind enough to make me something different, so I opted with my favorite - a spicy margarita with mezcal a few extra dashes of hot sauce! I was very satisfied with that one and would probably come back again next time we're in town!
