I happen to find this place next to our hotel. It's was a great quick stop. The bartenders worked in tandem and continued checking on us. We had simple drinks closing the night so didn't get to try any special cocktails. We grabbed a couple barstools. Place was I'd say 50% packed. We did hear that this was the local late late stop. I'm only assuming that it'll get packed later at night. read more

The Alcove - Fun in the local bar - Bars Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

I'm clearly from out of town based on Brie's (the bartender) reaction to my request for a couple beers. Wasn't getting her attention from the second row of patrons, so I stepped up, made eye contact, and asked for two beers. Her immediate response (dripping with attitude and sarcasm) was "sorry you had to wait so long." Granted. I'm from out of town and used to big(ger) city etiquette at bars. But by no means did I feel like I was demanding immediate service or attention. Just relaying that we wanted a couple beers when she had a break. Clientele there was nice. Even they gave the interaction a bit of side-eye. Maybe she was having an off night. Regardless. I wanted to enjoy the place, but her attitude took the place down a couple stars. Side note - don't sleep on the food truck Papu Chos located on the back patio. The food was magical. Made up for the salty attitude at the bar. read more

If you are looking for good food, strong drinks & a fun atmosphere this is your place. Plus, they are open late. Bri was my bartender & she took good care of us! Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

On the morning of January 11, 2026, several members of my family and I went to Alcove to decompress following a funeral. During our time there, a verbal altercation occurred involving other patrons, and there was noticeable commotion outside the front of the bar. I stepped outside solely to check on my younger family members, specifically my 19-year-old niece, as they were no longer within my sight. While outside, the bartender, Breanna, was also present. During this time, she loudly stated, "It's always the dirty monkeys starting things." I found this comment deeply offensive and unprofessional and calmly expressed that to her. I did not yell, curse, or act aggressively in any way. Her response to me was disrespectful. I disengaged from the interaction, returned inside the bar, and sat down. Approximately 10 minutes later, Breanna approached me in an area of the establishment that was nowhere near the bar and began yelling at me. I politely asked her to leave me alone and to stop speaking to me. She became increasingly upset and ordered my party to leave. I explained that I had not approached her, had not caused any disturbance, and had remained seated the entire time. A supervisor or manager then approached, and I reiterated that I had been a paying, unproblematic customer and that the bartender had initiated the confrontation. I stated that if anyone should be removed, it should be the bartender who escalated the situation. Despite this, I chose to leave quietly on my own to avoid further conflict. I exited the establishment, got into my car, and left without incident. It is important to note that I did not consume any alcohol that night and was completely sober. Any security footage and eyewitness accounts would confirm my behavior and the events as described. Weeks later, my nieces returned to Alcove on their own. Upon seeing them, Breanna immediately called the police and falsely stated that they were with me during a previous incident in which she claimed that I--and others--attempted to jump her. This allegation is completely false. I was never involved in any physical altercation, nor did I threaten or attempt to harm anyone. I am not okay with this false allegation. I am a medical professional who actively works with and serves the community, and having such claims made against me is extremely serious and damaging. If a story is going to be told, it should include the fact that I restrained myself, disengaged, and refused to participate in ignorant, degrading, and provocative behavior--while being subjected to racial slurs and harassment by an employee. This experience was unacceptable, unprofessional, and discriminatory. I expect this matter to be taken seriously and addressed appropriately. read more

Amazing patio space in a venue that hosts unique and fantastic entertainment - from music to burlesque and drag! There's food attached to the patio in the form of tacos/roti and it's absolutely the best. All around one of my favorite spots to perform and grab a bite at. read more

The Alcove - Bars Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

I called The Alcove, asked to speak with a manager. The gentleman who answered said he was the manager. I then asked if he knew if a wallet was found down there last night and his reply was, "he didn't know. I would have to come down and look". I then proceeded to tell him before he rudely interrupted me that my my card that was in my wallet has a charge from there that I did not make and before I could tell him that I hadn't even been there, he rudely interrupted me again stating and I quote " that's a problem for you and your credit card company." I tried to explain I had the charge reported and he then hurriedly and rudely reminded me I could come there and look for the wallet?! This review is for anyone who visits there, the Manager is rude and gives zero care on how they will take cards even if they are stolen and not give two thoughts about it. This local speakeasy that was once a nice place to visit has run its course. Not only have I had this experience others I know for a fact have had worse. To the Manager...lighten up and care about the people who get frauded under your watch! Zero stars if I could! read more

quintessential dive bar. i always stop off here when i ride my bike to indiana. has a couple of pinball machines and sells cigarettes but not food. caters to a younger, hipper crowd. clean bathrooms and pleasant bartenders. not quite sure what else you would want in a bar, honestly. read more

BEST TACOS IVE EVER HAD. SERIOUSLY!!!!! I recommend this over many places I have been. The owners are very personable and able to adapt to your preferences. read more

the vibes are immaculate in this bar (given Bre or Hannah is behind it). the owners really care about the establishment and are more attentive to their patrons than most bars. the pin ball machines have served as great addition to the place. they used to do karaoke out back, then they moved over a new business (the blue aux) which the vibes CAN be great there too, but in my professional opinion, karaoke was much more welcoming when it was on alcoves premises. don't forget to check out the food truck in the back. they have unique dishes that are insanely delicious and can't be replicated anywhere else. all in all, this establishment is worth the visit. read more

Small dive bar that is loud and happening. Tried the hazy double IPA on tap which tasted great!

Ambiance is great. Very diverse clientele. And very friendly. Garden patio out in the back. The night we were there a bachelorette party arrived to party the night on. read more

Great local bar! Bartenders are super fun, great drinks and reasonable prices. I'd I loved here, this would be my regular place for sure. read more

The Alcove - the name of a restaurant - Bars Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

The Alcove has a very relaxed feel to it. The lighting is dim, but it's not too dark. There's music playing the background, and quirky decor throughout. There was a wide age range of people here too. The bartender who was there during my visit was super kind! There's a wide selection of drinks to choose from. Since it was chilly the night we visited, we went for the Wassail. This was a homemade cider, and you can choose what shot to put in it. It was DELICIOUS! If you can get this drink, definitely try it out. I can't wait for my next visit to The Alcove and I highly recommend that everyone stops by here! read more

The Alcove - My bff since kindergarten to the right and me looking ridiculous on the left. - Bars Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

Wow! I did not expect this place to be so great. I went to catch a little if the Thursday night nfl and really found a new place to hang out. The new drink menus is out and I had The Cask of Amontillado, a rum, sherry, citrus drink that was great for us rum lovers. I also had The Tristan Ludlow a rye, gin (haymans old Tom) and sherry drink with a little maple and it was so balanced. The taco/burger truck out back had a great taco served on some Ethiopian bread. The service was exceptional. This place pays attention to the details! Thanks! read more

Divy weird vibe. Trying to hard to be hipster ‍ drinks are awful! I mean bought and didn't even drink it. Got a margarita, grossest drink dumped out. Got a couple stars for the set up out back. Food truck and tables/lights Young crowd read more

The Alcove - a drink in a plastic cup - Bars Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

Downtown Jeffersonville hip hang out, neighborhood bar. Great vibe. Fun music. Feels like the locals funnel here at the end of the night.. there is a fun community feel to it. The bartenders rock. I've only been to this bar in winter and its always lively, so I imagine the outdoor patio with warm weather makes this the place to be. Cute safe street. Walk the big 4 bridge then pop in to the Alcove. And just so you know , there is Only one bathroom read more

The Alcove - Best sports bar in Jeffersonville!! Hands down. *3 TVs. The soundtrack and crowd are so good which makes the sports even better - Bars Near Me - Jeffersonville, Indiana

Lovely downtown bar in Jeff hits all the right 'notes' - go here now. When I first moved to Jeffersonville a little over a decade or so ago, the choices for dining/drinking in downtown were sorely lacking. While the improvements and additions to the 'scene' have been more than welcome, the one thing we were really missing was a chill bar that stays open late but isn't a total dive (and not in the cool way) and borderline dangerous. Thankfully, The Alcove fills that niche. Great cocktail program, rotating specials, and prices. Friendly, helpful bartenders and service. Clean, professional setting that doesn't feel sleazy or 'dirty on purpose'. Dedicated to staying open late (not that I get over there late but I like knowing its there). Hard to argue with what they're doing there. Hard recommend! read more

This place is super cute. I wish I had taken pictures. There is a whole bunch of local art on the wall and the back area has a carnival type theme including the food truck the serves curly fries and the like! In the winter they had a fantastic hot apple cider drink and the bartender is really nice. read more

Super fun environment :) very welcoming and so so sweet! I definitely recommend for a good time!

Great place. Appropriate Covid precautions don't reduce the service or quality. Comfortable setting inside and out. Unique artwork inside, art garden/beer garden out back. Don't miss Sadie's Alley Wagon! This isn't bar food - it's one-of-a-kind grub that your taste buds will sing about. OMG. The wings are better than most wing specialty joints, the On-Dooley Corndog is savory and spicy, Buffalo Cauliflower and Poutine Tots, oh my! There are ample vegetarian and vegan options. A good variety on tap along with creative cocktails to quench your thirst. Say Hi to Chris, Dan, or Nick at the bar and you'll be a friend for life. read more

If you don't give this bar 5 stars then there is something wrong with you, not the bar. The vibes on the inside give you that Germantown feel but with a giant patio and sports on the TV. The playlist is electric, the service is impeccable, and the ally wagon food truck has kick ass burgers and wings. Great for Friday happy hour beer, Saturday night turn up, or Sunday football. read more

Good drinks, good atmosphere, love how close it is to all the other places in downtown Jeff. You can easily park and walk to everything.

Happening little bar with a great staff. The Pimms cup is phenomenal and the food truck out back is delicious. Great night out with the boys, will be back. read more

Almost 10 years ago I was the first to review the Levee Bar in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Fast forward to today, and already I've met some folks who knew about that place, and in bringing it up, seems I struck a nostalgic chord. Never in my life did I ever think I would end up in this tiny town again, but here I am, at the Alcove in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The bartender "Chewy" is great, the booze is flowing, what more could one ask for? If you're ever in this town, stop by, you won't regret it. read more

Ive enjoyed the alcove each time I've been there, friendly staff the social distance has been great, great drinks i love the outdoor seating definitely worth the check out. read more

The best place to go in Jeffersonville. The cocktail are perfect and the service is better.

Tried to order a drink at 2:45 am (15 min before close) and was told I couldn't be served bc they were closing. I mentioned there was still time left and they still refused. Not 2 minutes later 2 other people were served and at 3am, 2 more people were served. I counted a total of 6 ppl served after I was told no. Then when we mentioned it to the staff, they ignored it and said it didn't happen and they ignored me after. Not a good business practice and for my first time, it was not a good experience either. read more

Love what they've done with this place. Excellent atmosphere, accommodating bartender who knows his stuff, and some really cool cocktails. Sat in there for about an hour Friday night with my wife and we met 3 or 4 new couples just having a cocktail. Excellent "pub" friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend giving it a try. Close to eating establishments close by. Excellent choice for a night cap. read more
