They were the opening act on the outdoor stage and it was a nice surprise to happen upon this. There is some outdoor seating available, but most patrons had brought their own camp-style chairs for comfort. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy more pleasant weather following an earlier rainfall. Bar area was open and drinks were available for purchase. Interior spaces are lovely and also feature tables and chairs, as well as many interesting pieces of artwork. It's a challenge to decide where to rest your eyes. Terrific venue with plenty of space to relax or jump around. Large shade trees and strings of oversized Edison bulbs make the space feel magical. Large parking lot next to venue is free, as well as some limited street parking spaces. The venue is extremely accessible for all mobility levels. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to many happy returns here.

The beverage options at the onsite bar are varied and good. The bathrooms are clean and staff have been friendly. The tables, big chunky wood incorporated with colorful resin and things cast inside, are really cool. The low-backed bar height chairs are cool looking but also a little scary to think about sitting in (if you see them, I think you'll know what I mean). Silent discos, dj'ed events, I think some interesting things are happening here and I am interested to see how it goes.

As a lover of cocktails, I was pretty sad to discover those were eliminated. I also understand that it likely shortens the guest visit time since people are more apt to be tempted by an additional cocktail... which allows for more turnover in this smallish space. You arrive to this area after a tour. Alternately, you can request to be put on a list to visit this area from the gift shop. The list doesn't involve texting you when you're up, so you need to be hanging around or risk losing your place. The gift shop bar was pouring samples of one spirit during our wait (not of your choosing, more of a "this is what we're pouring today" situation) which was appreciated. The gift shop itself is really lovely, so that can help burn a little time as well. Last call was at 4pm if I remember correctly, which is fairly standard for distilleries in KY.

The climate and culture dating back to the 1800s still runs through the city today. The company that operates Angels Envy is Louisville Distilling Co. The founder was Lincoln Henderson. This gentleman went to college right here in Louisville and after forty plus years of working in a distillery worked his way to the top as master distiller. His own brews are pretty good too. How about Jack Daniel's Gentleman's Jack. That was Mr. Henderson. The building that Angels Envy occupies was occupied prior by American Elevator and Machine and American Saw. Later it existed as Vermont American Complex, then it was abandoned. The site was deteriorated but became the place where in 2010 revival. The Henderson family and Louisville Distilling Co made their permanent presence. They invested in the surrounding area too. They made a massive complex when you visit . Now come and visit today. Learn the basics of how the Henderson family double distills their Angels Envy in a wine cast barrel after aging. Taste the quality of their legacy that will establish and endure the ages. Although the legacy lives on forever in this family and their double mystery their dad left, the story continues. Plan your visit today .

I highly recommend using this venue for parties, receptions, showers or anything else you can think of.

The area is located in the Butchertown area where you are surrounded by other great restaurants, breweries/distilleries, boutiques, the arts, etc. The space is open & has the potential to be any kind of set up you want. We had hot & cold hors d'oeuvres, so I assume there were ways they were kept warm & cold between replenishments. The bathroom facilities were very neat & clean.

It finally did, so off to Trellis Brewing we went. And what a happy little discovery. The outdoor space is fantastic: family-, kid-, and dog-friendly, surrounded by old buildings that give the whole area a cool, nostalgic, industrial vibe. They've done a really great job with the space. Inside, you'll find a mix of tables and booths, friendly people, and a laid-back atmosphere that feels genuinely welcoming rather than just saying it's welcoming. I also love that Trellis embraces the whole kids + parents + dogs brewery situation. You can't always get a babysitter, and so smart!!. More importantly: the beer is very good, and so is the food. I had the smashburger and fries, my husband had a Banh mi Dog, and we shared the pickled vegetables--which were tangy & delish . Everything was reasonably priced, and the service was bright, friendly, and helpful. It is counter service, but honestly, it fits the casual atmosphere perfectly. Bonus points: dogs are welcome inside, too. They just can't be on the couches, which seems like a perfectly reasonable boundary even though Gypsy may disagree. Gypsy had an excellent evening, made approximately 47 new friends, and thoroughly approved. I could absolutely see us becoming regulars here. Great beer, good food, cool space, dogs welcome. I'm sold.

Now they were looking for where to build his so called place to breathe life into it. That "it," place. It's not in Nashville, it's here in small little Louisville. What better place than an old church? Bourbon and Church! Amen! All are welcome! Now they don't make it here this is where they come to pour it and enjoy the flavors of it. Is life about the ride? How about dinner and some Heavens Bourbon made and inspired by Bob Dylan in a church. It's a must! Now this is a small venue and off the beaten track of life. What drew me?

I loved walking through the rooms and seeing all the vintage details and stained glass. The Whiskey room has quite the shock factor with floor to ceiling bottles lining the walls. No complaints to be made about the service! It felt quick and smooth! The signature cocktails we ordered were very good (not pictured)! My only disappointment was the limited menu. The menu seemed to be mostly appetizers and pizza with some additional options for entrees. We ordered the Holy Fire Dip for a starter and it was delicious! It was warm and had great flavor. The waitress did need to bring more bread, the dipping options felt sparse. My husband and I split The Burnt Offering Pizza and Sanctuary Sliders, they were both solid. We both favored the pizza but would have liked more variety. I can see why this place comes highly recommended for the experience. I would definitely come back but hope they expand the menu by then!

With the wedding day scheduled for a Saturday, the bridal party and groomsmen were able to leave gowns, beauty products, suits, and overnight bags in our rooms the Friday before upon completing the rehearsal. This allowed for an easy situation to walk in to on the morning of the wedding as we prepared for the ceremony later that afternoon. The house was built in the mid 1800s and has been kept within the family since then. The current owners, Kim and Chaz, take great pride in the house and were extremely accommodating towards our group. They were on hand throughout Saturday to answer any questions. As a history nerd, I loved speaking with them more on the history of the house and the surrounding gardens (that were stunningly beautiful in September) as I snuck a cigarette on the back porch during the reception. When the bride & groom booked the venue, they were also able to secure accommodations for the bridal party. Considering that all five of the bridesmaids live over an hour away, it made for the perfect place to crash post reception. Our two flower girls had a ball exploring the house and spent the night as well with no problem. To top off the magical wedding weekend, Kim and Chaz prepared coffee and breakfast on Sunday morning for the guests that spent the night. I highly recommend considering Midlane Farm as a special events venue. The service we received certainly deserves five stars!

Since this is a relatively new venue, there were some kinks. Going in, we didn't have tickets so we went to the counter to purchase. There really wasn't any direction at the door so we kind of just wandered in. We found where we could purchase tickets for the show but with the lack of direction - we could have just walked in without paying. There are multiple restrooms and they were extremely clean, even later in the night. There is a raised section with some seating. Plenty of dance space. There is also a bar with both cocktails and draft beer (mostly Upland Brewing offerings). Prices weren't bad and the line moved pretty quickly. The venue holds a pretty decent amount of people and I look forward to seeing more shows there.

The best part about it is it never feels judgmental or pretentious just good service done the right way. Hats off to you all. Cheers.
