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

For my last night in Louisville, I just happened to accidentally stumble upon this place on the way…read moreback to my hotel. Hipster speakeasy vibe is written all over the spot. 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. They don't have food, but there's plenty of options around to bring in there. Music was great too!

Pulled up to this swanky spot around the corner from our Airbnb to get the night started. The…read moreladies behind the bar had great energy and took our orders as soon as we were ready. 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!

We chose MeeshMeesh as a celebratory dinner because we'd heard such great things. We were excited…read moreto finally get a reservation, but unfortunately our experience didn't match the expectations for the great things we've heard about this restaurant. We waited 30 minutes past our 9:15 reservation to be seated because we were told the previous reservation would not leave. We had to ask the hostess twice before our table was ready. Once seated, we felt rushed to order. The salatim wasn't replenished until we had nearly finished our entrées. When we asked for more pita with our mains after receiving side orders of hummus, we were asked how many individual pieces we wanted. None of us received the rice that comes with our mains, and when we asked our server just agreed but it was never brought out. My fries were also forgotten and by the time I asked I was told the kitchen had already closed so I couldn't get them. They kindly removed the fries from my bill and gave me a complimentary dessert. Our empty glasses also remained on the table for the entirety of the dinner. At the end of the meal, we all requested separate checks, but three of them were incorrect and had to be fixed. As we were leaving, we could hear the employees cheering because we had left. We greatly appreciated the discount our group received. The food was excellent, but for such an exclusive restaurant we expected a better dining experience.

Unforgettable meal. We may go back to Louisville just to eat here again, and we live in California…read more Everything we had - embered beets, tomatoes and stone fruit, chicken thighs, salmon, and babka - was simply sublime. And the basic dishes were the most surprising. We can't stop thinking about the tomatoes and stone fruit - how can a few ingredients we eat so often have such complexity and taste beyond any prior experience? It's infuriating. Also the rice - of the hundreds of rices we've had this is by far the best. Rice! Service was exceptional as well. Our servers Celeste and Ollie (Ali?) were knowledgeable, welcoming, and efficient. Hostess Isabelle was our hero. We were in Louisville only for 12hrs so did not have a reservation but nicely begged her and she was eventually able to fit us in late on a Sunday. We are not Tom Colicchio and Padma Lakshmi, but we've had many phenomenal meals throughout the world and this one is going to be memorable. If anyone at MeeshMeesh wants to start a restaurant in Sacramento, please give me a call.
