    Holiday menu with lots of specialty cocktails.
    Rebecca T.

    Went on December 6th, and the whole place looked amazing. So many great holiday decorations, they even had some animatronic Santa stuff. Their holiday menu looked like a Christmas card. Lots of holiday themed drinks. Very cozy inside. Food was very good. If you need a little holiday spirit, go check them out. Bartenders were very friendly. We will be back. The only thing I wish were better is the cleanliness of the bathrooms (which appear to be shared with another business or two).

    Cute and quaint place! We had our Lou book and sip club and it was a nice spot to talk about our book. We discussed the handmaid's tale! I got an espresso martini. I would definitely be back!

    This place is a bit hidden, but well worth the hunt. The interior is cozy and thoughtfully curated. I ordered the bourbon cocktail, it was delicious. We also ordered 3 for $27 snacks, the salsa, cheese ball and queso were all tasty. Service was solid, but, didn't get refills on water, most likely due to how crowded the place was. Would love if they add specials and/or a happy hour.

    Cool, semi-hidden gem in the Highlands. Great cocktails, some tasty snacks, and excellent service. I see it described as a speakeasy vibe, which I can see in the sense of, it's tucked away and has that dimly-lit interior where you can have a quiet conversation in the corner or raise a glass with some friends and still feel like you're not in the middle of a crowd. Good spot.

    Lovely evening getting drinks. Fun creative cocktails and they offer light apps! Intimate setting and great for a date night. Staff is friendly and help give recommendations if need be! We walked in and had no issue getting a table.

    Tucked away with speakeasy vibes, Epiphany is the spot if you're looking for fun, creative, and delicious cocktails in an inviting and casual spot. Seating is a combination of bad, tables, high tops, and booths, typically able to walk in with no problem. Their Christmas pop up is extra special and a great time.

    I love cocktails and I enjoy mixology. And I fully endorse Epiphany as Louisville's best cocktail bar. I say this having tried all of them, by the way. My cocktail standards are high: I want to see novel ingredients and creative recipes and balanced flavor profiles. I want reasonable prices, generous pours, and bartenders who care about the craft. Epiphany nails it all. I've tried about fifteen different drinks here, and I have yet to have anything under three stars. The bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate. More than once, they've taken time to educate me about a bizarre ingredient, or allowed me to sample a spirit similar to one that I already know and love. There is pride here, and the menu rotates regularly with new inventions, meaning that there's always something new to experience. A side note if the staff chances upon my review: I hope you all regularly bring back the Bunny Lebowski, my all-time favorite Epiphany cocktail - it was carrot cake-themed and absolutely delicious. Weird-sounding, I know. Most of the recipes on Epiphany's menu leave me shaking my head incredulously exclaiming, "Now how in the world are they going to pull off a decent cocktail with Campari, banana, green pea extract, coffee, limoncello, gym socks, and cardamom!?" And then, by God, they always manage to do it. This place is brilliant at creating alcoholic beverages. It's the only bar in Louisville that makes mixology feel like an art form. Everyone else is a dabbling amateur by contrast.

    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!!!!

    Trout dip, fig dip, and benedictine dip.

    Looking for mint chocolate chip? Retta's won't be for you. But if you're into unique flavors of…read moreice cream, you've found nirvana. Everything is made in house with organic ingredients. There's even a few non-dairy options for the lactose intolerant. But if a "regular" flavor speaks to you, they offer free enzyme supplements. But Retta's is more than an ice cream counter. They specialize in custom, house made desserts. Evidently, the neighborhood hosts a "progressive" dinner and the last stop, dessert, of course, is at Retta's. Desserts are featured after 4pm, so we didn't get to sample. But, we did watch the owner, Ben, handcraft the evenings' dessert. While his sous chef was busy in the back making other sweet specialties. Make no mistake, the menu is diverse, expensive, and made with care. The vibe is coffee house, with a huge record collection to provide the right ambiance. Oh, hours later and my wife is still raving about her Matcha, Black Sesame, chocolate ice cream!

Didn't rush us when we wanted to try multiple samples of the ice cream. I was impressed with the variety. I settled on bay leaf ice cream, while my friends got coffee and donuts, vanilla, and hay. The ice cream is smooth and creamy. Not quite like soft serve but very close to it. It wasn't busy so we sat at one of the tables. My friend ordered a drink, dealers choice. Our server took the time to ask which liquors and flavor profiles she likes, noting any allergies too and concocted something based on her preferences. Pretty cool! That's the selling point to this place. Service is definitely top notch! They want you to have a good experience and enjoy the flavors you get. It's a small shop so I can see it getting busy during the hotter months. Parking is easy. Parallel.

    Well mixed drinks in a plant store? Sign me up!…read more Pretty Decent? You're being modest. Half novelty plant shop, half clear alcohol bar, this place is better than decent. There isn't a ton of seating, but like I said, it's still a store. The menu leans heavily on tequila, gin, vodka and other clear liquors, so most of the drinks lack color but are very flavorful; alcohol forward as well. Staff was helpful in finding something to choose. The environment is calm, relatively quiet, but overall really relaxed. This would be a great place to go with friends and enjoy each others' company.

    Pretty Decent is an amazing Plant Bar ... yes you read that correctly, a Plant Bar, which is such a…read morecool concept. I've been a few times now and it's always very chill and relaxing, and I love the music selection. When you walk in the plant shop is in the front and the bar is in the back. I recommend heading to the bar, grabbing a delicious hand crafted cocktail and relaxing for a bit. However if you're super eager to shop grab a cocktail to enjoy while you walk around the store. I've only ever had the Carajillo bc it's so damn good. It's light, refreshing and delicious. It consists of dark matter cold brew, Licor 43, Paranubes Cafe de Olla, Alma Tepec pasilla chile liqueur, hazelnut, cinnamont. They have the best mezcal by the bottle selection which I believe you can purchase some online. While sitting at the bar, I noticed all the bottles neatly displayed on the shelf behind the bar and none of the labels are ones I've ever seen before. In addition to being able to shop for plants, they also offer Plant workshops that you can sign up for online! Some of the workshops include a price for two people so pay attention to what you're signing up for. And if you happen to get hungry and need a snack, they also offer a few light bar snacks that consists of chips and salsa, spicy oaxacan peanuts, spicy pickled carrots, and Nemi Mexican lime crunchy snack.
