    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!

    Holiday menu with lots of specialty cocktails.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    One of my new favorite cocktail bars in Louisville!! The ambiance is amazing-great for a date night or grabbing a drink with a friend. The drinks were yum! The green juice was refreshing with great flavor. The study abroad has the perfect amount of kick. Our server gave great recommendations and was very attentive. We also grabbed some dips- the trout dip, fig dip, and benedictine dip. Highly recommend all of those!!! The trout was my favorite, but the fig and Benedictine together were also delicious. Definitely check this place out!

    The Cosmonaut!
    Samantha D.

    One of my favorite bars in Louisville! To begin with, the ambiance and decor is so cool and it feels like you are in New York or Chicago or one those big cities. Service: the bartenders are great and the owner Kelley is the sweetest ever! Drinks: All the drinks are so pretty but my favorite is of course "The Cosmonaut" which has vodka, fresh cranberry, sumac, orange curacao and crème de cassis. It is so good! They also have beers, wine and non-alcoholic drinks. Food: They have a good selection of snacks including salted peanuts, popcorn, pecans, cheese spreads and breads. I will definitely be coming back!

    My friend and I were stuck outside in below freezing weather and the workers were more than willing to not let us in. I wont eat there now.

    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.

    Hidden gem alert! If you're strolling in Frankfort Avenue and happen to pass what looks like a cute…read morelittle plant shop... STOP. GO IN. TRUST ME. Behind the lush greenery and unassuming storefront is Pretty Decent, a mezcal bar that's anything but "pretty decent"--it's ridiculously cool. My only regret is that I didn't get more pictures to share because this place is very cool. But I was enjoying myself too much to be bothered with my phone. The vibe? Immaculately chill. Moody lighting, thoughtful design, and a playlist that makes you want to stay all night. It's the kind of place that feels like a secret you're lucky to be in on. We started with a Paloma recommended by Ethan (bartender and apparently low-key rockstar). It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and an excellent recommendation.. We chatted mezcal, music, and more--Ethan's the kind of bartender who makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Got to talk mezcal with the owner, John, who's clearly passionate and seriously knowledgeable. He shared stories about sourcing, traveling, and working directly with producers. Learned more in 10 minutes from him than I have from any spirit tasting I've done. Super generous with his time and samples, which led to me walking out with a bottle of Espadín, an agave spirit, I'm now obsessed with. You don't find places like this often. It's got soul, character, and people who actually care about what they're doing. Come for the plants, stay for the mezcal. Pretty Decent? Nah--Pretty Damn Exceptional.
