    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

The bartenders greeted us as soon as we walked in, were friendly, explained the menu in detail and were very knowledgeable. On my first visit I opted for the seasonal Espresso Martini (Summer Martini Menu) however I wasn't a huge fan, if your an Espresso Martini connoisseur then you know everyone has a different preference in how they are made. The type of Vodka, whether they use espresso or cold brew and the type of coffee liquor. This one was made with deep Eddie vodka, espresso and Broghetti Espresso Liquor. Now with that being said, I am very much looking forward to going back to try their new Worlds Best Espresso Martini that they have collaborated with Heine Brothers coffee to create as it is a different recipe. On the second visit it was busy and the place was buzzing. They have a very unique cocktail menu and they also have extremely rare, old and almost one of a kind liquors you can get a pour of; one bottle dates back to the 30's I believe. When you walk in and are facing the bar, they are all displayed on the right hand side. My Husband tried the Smoked and Soured Four You (Michter's Bourbon | Lemon | Sugar | Smoke) which is a drink with a show! I tried a clarified cocktail ... the Espresso Spice & Everything Nice (Espresso Infused Vodka Clarified | Gingerbread Spice | Latte Foam) which was different but really good!!

    Are we talking "On Heavens Gate!"…read more Yes, Bob Dylan, that inspirational author, songwriter, wordsmith, and artist has a Bourbon. 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? A large image of Bob Dylan on a building, mural style seemed out of place. Come to find out explore more and salut to a better version of heaven in this world of art, music, and words that have never been better than now. This is not just a church but the grounds house an art deco museum to his work. It's true dedication to the man of Bob Dylan. A Tennessee whiskey, distilled in Pleasureville, Ky.

Turning an old church into a bar/restaurant always makes for a unique environment. 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!

I was able to ask questions on the Open table app about reservation and options available at such a later dinner time. They said everything would be available except when we got there the branzino wasn't available which was fine, we didn't want it anyways. Our server Colton was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable of the menu drinks and what was available. We did end up ordering some drinks. The Gazoz (nonalcoholic) & CSA sour both great and the flavors were very pleasing. We already browsed at the menu beforehand so we went in knowing we were going to get the Shefha, I let the birthday boy make the picks we got the crispy cauliflower and og hummus with the lamb and kept everything else as is and of course we got the included dessert plus a knafeh for the birthday boy. I don't want to spoil anything, but the food was exceptional! There was no crumbs left from us, we devoured everything that was brought out. We loved all the flavors profiles and the timing of each dish was perfect. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Colton was excellent throughout the entire meal, checking in on us and the rest of the servers who brought out the dishes were excellent at explaining the dishes to us. Our water cups were never empty and the vibes were so relaxed and casual. We will definitely be back because we fell in love with a few dishes that we can't stop thinking about and will have to come back. Definitely for the chocolate babka!

And hoped for that sweet, crunchy top with cheese pull but it wasn't that it was the creamer version and deconstructed. Kinda felt like it was made in a bowl and not made whole. I'd definitely return tho, skipping dessert.
