They were communicative about when the food would be out and everything ran really smoothly. I got the sirloin with potato and chopped salad. I loved the salad and the potatoes were good.

The menu has a lot of options and I'd like to go back and try other things.

The drinks are well made, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe makes it easy to stay longer than you planned. It's a great spot whether you're going out for a casual night or meeting friends for something a little different from the usual bar scene. What really stands out is the personality of the place. It feels cozy, well put together, and genuinely enjoyable. We've had consistently good experiences and would absolutely recommend giving The Earl a try if you're in New Albany.

If this place were called "Steve's" or something and had more mundane lighting, I'd wrap my head around it more easily. The bar itself runs down the center of the single room with some four-ups against the wall. Each time, drinks are poured into plastic cups. Prices seem reasonable but portions are smaller than you'll get elsewhere. There's a few on draft, some alright cocktails and a limited food menu. I opted for the pretzel bread and pimento spread and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the freshness, texture, and taste! Music selections fluctuate both genres and volumes. Clientele is pretty relaxed. Its a go-to spot after 10 p.m.

My top-tier chum who literally…read morewent to the school of hospitality and I had a really nice dinner two Thursdays ago at Jack Fry's, and then wandered outside to explore this really cool neighborhood (Team Highlands!). Less than 30 seconds later, we saw a sign for this place that included the word "speakeasy." Sold. On a hunch/whim, we wandered inside and the rest is history. What a cool place. I'm not a smoker though every five years or so I might accept a stogie from someone and try to recreate Arnold scenes from Predator, so I can't speak to the cigar aspect of Louisville Cigar, which is a pretty considerable chunk of the business model. I will say that walking through the restored historic former residence (an homage in and of itself to some really great architecture in the city overall) was a vibe - we could just tell immediately this was a legitimately cool, memorable place and I was already having regrets over not being aware of this establishment and officially factoring it into our itinerary. From perusing a few news articles after the fact, I know we were greeted by the owner Josh immediately upon entry, who led us to the speakeasy in the back and also showed up several times to talk to the barkeep throughout our stay. We were definitely getting toward the end of the night; there were two or three other people in the bar area but they left pretty soon after we settled in. I think there's an outdoor area probably catering almost exclusively to the cigar customers, both because of references thrown into conversation and from the owner coming back to get orders for them. Felt a little FOMO, but not much given our situation. It's not an exaggeration to say that Aaron, the resident bartender/mixologist, is one of the best I've encountered. This man was born to be behind a classy bar pouring bourbon. I can still picture him twirling a giant ice cube with tongs, while it continues to spin in the glass as he pours bourbon. A memorable visual. He's also a quirky soul (probably an offshoot of my tribe), the kind of person who was teased/misunderstood in childhood but likely got the last laugh in the end. Truly interesting person. But the key was the booze, as it often is in a speakeasy. We asked a lot of questions about bourbon and what's working or not working in our homemade versions of Old Fashioneds (as I suspected, my chum was probably not being QUITE as aggressive as she should be with the bitters), and got a solid rec for a new bourbon in Peerless. He used it to make $30 Old Fashioneds (I know, I know), which honestly were worth the money. We'd already had two drinks at Jack Fry's so we didn't order more than one here, but given what I know now about the mediocrity of their Old Fashioneds, I wish we'd stuck with water there and come over here with clear palates and hearts. Oh well. I've told many people since we came back from Louisville that I don't have a ton to recommend beyond bourbon-centric activities. That's true, and Louisville Cigar would certainly fall within those parameters. This is the only nice neighborhood we visited for my money, and this was its biggest selling point. Stop by the distilleries for sure, but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't figure out a way to squeeze this place in too.
