It was completed in 1929 during the city's automotive boom. It is also often referred to as the Cathedral of Finance. It's a breathtaking Art Deco design inside and out. Make sure to take time to appreciate the detail, that makes it so special. The bold colors, the amazing tile work, and vaulted lobby are stunning. It history and beauty makes it so much more than "office building". We lucked out and found street parking but would have paid for a garage. It is absolutely worth stepping inside to look around.

However, the tastings are in small groups of about 8 people at a time so you can hear the wine descriptions and interact with the group easily. I ran into a college classmate that I haven't seen in 8 years because we were both running our mouths about how we liked the wine we were tasting. I wasn't a fan of the wines we tasted but I loved the Chardonnay I purchased as we sat around and talked. Conner was a great server and gave excellent recommendations. There are plenty of seating options, including a few couches upstairs. I will be back just to enjoy the atmosphere and have a glass or 2 of the Chardonnay.

I came here for Yelp's Nauti by Nature party and had SO much fun. This space was perfect to host it, with grand balconies, an amazing view, and interesting spaces. This boat house has been flooded multiple times, and they're currently working on restoring it, room by room. Our event was a fundraiser for the building, in an effort to return it to its previous grandeur. Currently, it's still beautiful and majestic, just dated and in need of some repairs. Such a cool, unique spot for an event!

They offer a tour (well worth the $20 price tag) that starts out with a yummy adult bevvie and takes you through their distilling process, rickhouse, bottling, and event spaces. Our tour guide, Michael, was very personable and fun and made the tour quite entertaining. Loved the little stories along the way. Highly recommend - we'll be back again as we enjoy distillery tours and usually have to go to Kentucky for good ones like this.

Very large so everyone in the class was comfortable. Brought our own yoga mats, but they provided blocks and stretching straps. Our instructor Lauren was so nice and very personable, but most importantly, a great instructor. The moves she led us through were all pretty basic, but that was fine by me as I'm a newbie to yoga. My wife, who does yoga regularly, loved the class as well. The thing we both really enjoyed was the meditation at the end. Lauren led all of us into a state of relaxed bliss at the completion of the yoga portion. We didn't try any of the desserts provided, but everyone seemed to be really enjoying them. Kudos to Yelp for getting me to try, and enjoy, yoga. Something my wife had been trying for a while to get me to do. We will definitely be back and look forward to exploring the interesting neighborhood it is located in as well!!

I worked with The Loft multiple times in 2018-2019 for training events produced by my employer. The…read moreLoft was fantastic to work with and easily accommodated our requests, which included that which they were probably not used to: unconventional seating (this was hands-on hairstylist training,) extra extension cords/power strips, comfort with hair care products and heat tools being used in the space, and unconventional timing. The team at The Loft is on top of their game, is easy to get ahold of, and is great with follow-up. The catering was excellent, and I loved that they had vegan/vegetarian options plentifully available. Onsite staff was accessible and always willing to lend a hand if we needed to reset something in the room. Only a couple of snags we ran into: 1) in the warmer months the loft had a particular... odor about it. I don't know if it is because there is a workout studio below, or the neighborhood, but we had to cover it up with candles. 2) One particular event which took place in January the loft was without heat for the entire day of our training. An apology was made, but we were not given any sort of compensation for the inconvenience. Overall, it's a great unique space and I would recommend it.

The wedding was on the 1st floor and a place that a bagpiper would not seem out of place or the men in kilts. If you have other ideas about your wedding, it will work. The meal was upstairs had the the correct number of servers that the last table didn't have to wait 20 minutes for theirs after the first table was served. Having some back ground in this, you have to know what you are doing or something with trip you up every time. They didn't. The food was close to a well reviewed 5 star restaurant. My steak warmed up just as good as it was there. The salad didn't have enough dressing, but still good. Cake and dancing was back downstairs. Open bar was setup in both places. I Know $$$$ was spent but it showed. I hope another friend gets married there to just have a chance to go back.
