    Relaxing end to my Birthday!
    Bill J.

    Did the Bourbon Trail for my birthday and ended the trip at Match on the way home. Picked up a Cohiba and ordered a Manhattan for a relaxing conclusion to the day!

    Riverside cigar bar and lounge and this place are connected. At first it was a little confusing, but it became clear. This is the bar to buy drinks. Riverside sells cigars, but you can bring cigars here and take drinks there. Prefer the back outdoor sitting area of this place, but both are awesome if you're into bourbon/cocktails and cigars.

    Wonderful place to stop. Great selection of drinks. This place has a relaxed atmosphere with incredible staff. Owner has plenty of events to enjoy. Love it. Must try.

    My buddy and i went in here last week for a drink and cigar. They had a great vibe and good seating. They had good prices on drinks and free water also. I really enjoyed myself and look forward on returning. Tvs with sports, bar food, adn games to play. Excellent spot

    Visiting Louisville for Scottish Rite-NMJ. Couldn't believe there was not a cigar bar in Louisville. Drove across the 2nd street bridge and literally 50-feet from the river found this gem. Outstanding selection of cigars and bourbon! I had a Perdomo Lot 23 and paired it with a barrel pick of Knob Creek. Great choice! Bartender was incredibly knowledgeable. This will be a must stop on all future trips to the River City. Cmon Commonwealth of Kentucky, get with it and allow this near the convention center!

    Great renovation to the cigar bar connected to Riverside Cigars! Fantastic service and friendly patrons. A must visit across the bridge from Louisville!

    Match is a great place to hang out, watch a game, have a drink and cigar. It is just across the state line from Louisville. The humidor has a limited selection but everyone can find something suited for their palate.

    Basic cigar customer service no effort .

    Awe I've posted prior reviews and have to give less stars this year. Humidor is basic with old inventory. No Aficionado top 25 in inventory. The staff is nice but not really helpful to sell top choices. He's just sitting at the desk no effort. Maybe it's because we are SOTLs. The guy at the door is super nice. Furniture needs an upgrade a bit broken down. I would not call this upscale. Oh but when two good ol boys come in he enters the humidor and chats them up :(

    Best prices on drinks and cigars. Atmosphere is awesome and everyone who works here is very cool. Have a few drinks and sit back and enjoy a cigar. Will highly recommend!

    Nice variety

    Great great experience here. We had a 4 top at the low bar on a Friday. Had to wait about 15…read moreminutes. They don't take reservations. It was a full house but everything was really good as far as drinks and food. Staff was nice considerate and updating you when it comes to something taking too long, getting another beverage. The whole 9 yards. We got the Neapolitan flat bread and it was great! Also the popcorn of the night was lime chili and it'll knock your socks off! So tasty. Drinks were French 75, house margarita, a smoked and sour, and another drink my friend got I can't recall the name of. The ambiance is so cute down to the light when you enter with the name. The vibes is warm low light. Parking is street only and limited. You may have to park a block up and walk.

    I have to say that although overall I had a decent time here, the first 15 minutes of my visit here…read moreleft a lasting negative impression on me. I walked in around 5:15pm on a monday night, with plans for a friend to join me around 5:30. The sign at the host station said to wait to be seated. So I waited. And waited. and waited... Folks walked in after me, waited for a bit and then sat themselves at the bar. But I did not want to sit at the bar, we wanted to sit at a table. The server seemed to be willfully ignoring me and avoiding my attempts at eye contact. The bartender was taking care of everyone at the bar as well as making drinks for the rest of the patrons too, he saw me eventually and was looking around for the server or (nonexistent?) host to help me out. The bartender ultimately told me that I could just seat myself wherever I wanted, so I did. There were maybe 3 table seated at this point, it was not that busy. Then it took yet another chunk of time (6 pages read in my book I never leave home without) before I got water and menus. I was frustrated but was looking forward to seeing my friend and was ready to make the most of it. All that said, I like the vibe of the space. The dark, cozy vibes. We came because we wanted cocktails and something to nosh on. And eventually we got that. We shared a flatebread and an Asian-inspired hushpuppy sort of situation. They were pretty tasty and nice to have with our cocktails. The cocktail list is longer than expected and with a lot of intriguing sounding offerings. The two I had were very tasty and delicious! I would maybe come back again and sit at the bar so a solo visit if I had a stretch of time and no rush. My overall memory of the visit is still about the over-long wait/being ignored for such a long time after entering.

I appreciated the amount of space, and there were even a few tables outside. Bar seating, table seating, couch seating... I think I peeped a small room in the back too... all the options! When I was there, it was mostly empty, but people did come in and out. It was easy to tell who the visitors and regulars were haha. I enjoyed just hanging out, people watching, and chatting with the friendly bartenders. They have cocktails and mocktails in abundance... there's literally something for everyone. And they even had these chocolate shot glasses. So cool! All in all, the place just seems like a perfect neighborhood bar.

The originally cocktail I ordered didn't satisfy me like I'd hope and the ladies were kind enough to make me something different, so I opted with my favorite - a spicy margarita with mezcal a few extra dashes of hot sauce! I was very satisfied with that one and would probably come back again next time we're in town!
