    Angels envy bourbon club is a beautifully sculpted and bourbon themed suite and party area located…read morein the old brown and Williamson suites of cardinal stadium which is the home of the university of Lousiville football team. While the suite does have catered events I've experienced the area as a fan for a football game. The inside is beautifully renovated, spacious and very upscale. The workers provide things such as complementary popcorns or pretzels depending on the game. Each game also has free fountain sodas and unlimited refills. The seats for suite are outside in the elements but you are covered by an awning so blocks most rain and other weather variables. Overall a very nice and luxurious way to take in a cardinal football game. Mu biggest issue is that compared to the PNC club on other side of the stadium you aren't able to see the field form inside the suites. The inside like PNC club has multiple TVs with sound for the game but to get to your seats you walk through a tunnel. The other suites it is open flooring and you can see the field while inside the main lobby area of the suite.

    My dad and I were here for a game this weekend. It was an amazing experience with many nice things…read moreto look at and enjoy before the game started. It is filled with awesome TVs everywhere to enjoy the game while in line for food or restrooms. The best part about this place is they give away free sodas in cool Louisville take home cups and free pretzels! Awesome all around

    I love this place. The decor is beautiful but honestly it's the food…read more My first gobaround, I didn't feel impressed, but the constant thoughts of milk bread and cat fish said something different so i went back. Next the oyster happy hour with peach vinaigrette was mind altering. The oysters were fresh and the sauce was inspiring. I ordered the hanger steak and wasn't very happy. Im a steak and frites girly but it wasn't the star of the show.. it's the catfish with slaw and milk bread. My favorite items there. The drinks are also amazing. Its a smaller place not housing more than 40 or so but make a reservation. Its worth the experience.

    This place was so good! The inside of the restaurant is…read morebeautiful. It's small but gorgeous inside. There are four barrels that seat six people in each. We started with complimentary boiled peanuts with a little kick. They were delicious! The food is brought out as it's finished cooking. So, not everything comes out at the same time. I like this because the food is super hot! Catfish nuggets were perfectly seasoned. The batter was light and airy. These were a huge hit! Macaroni and cheese was made with seven cheeses. Ooey gooey deliciousness. The greens, red beans and rice and Brussels felt like eating a home cooked meal! The red beans and rice had huge pieces of sausage that added the perfect amount of spice. Overall - I would definitely go back.

    Merryweather is a fantastic local spot that just happens to be a tiki bar but tucked right in the…read moremiddle of a neighborhood. The bartenders are excellent, and the drinks are a total blast. They put their spin on tiki classics. Try the pandan painkiller if you want a creamy almond forward drink. If you love sweet, and fruity tiki drinks, this is the place to go if you're in Germantown. They do them well and that's exactly why I love it.

    I first came to this bar in 2019 when it opened. I absolutely loved the vibe of the place. I…read moreintroduced my friend to this place and now we are loyal patrons at least once a week if that. We mostly love coming here because it is 21 and up and we can be adults here. Other reasons: they have different flavored Margaritas of the week and every Tuesday was $5 Margs and they had a taco food truck here as well. Not sure if they still do that. We also love coming here for the pinball games (they switch out periodically) and the patio in the back we absolutely love. This place certainly faced its challenges during and after the pandemic. They have bounced back tremendously and with that came some changes. My biggest kicker, they haven't had updated Merch for sale for a very long time. Kinda noticed the change about maybe 2 years ago. For the past 2 years there have been no Derby stickers (something they started in 2020). They have done derby shirts for the past 2 years but, no stickers. I also collected their own stickers as well, there haven't been any new ones for a while. This is really my only kicker here. Idk what's changed or if it's not in their budget but, merch does bring in money. I also miss Potato the bar cat. I asked someone a long time ago what happened to Potato and a bartender told me the owners moved. I hope they can bring in new merch at some point and new stickers lol. They also used to post on Facebook what food trucks would be coming each night so, someone has dropped the ball on that. The staff here is very wonderful and my friend and I adore them. We are treated like we belong here and don't feel out of place. Even the patrons make us feel welcome. This is one of the few bars we go to where most everyone is laid back and is not too rowdy for us. Maybe late at night but, for the most part, we love it here. This is definitely a neighborhood bar worth visiting. Laid back, not rowdy and everyone is made to feel welcome. We love it for the most part but, hoping they can improve some things I have mentioned in this review.

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!

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!
