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.

We were passing through town and staying one night next door to this joint. I ventured out and…read morewalked in late at night. A few people were sitting at the bar and it instantly gave me a neighborhood locals / industry night feel. They were all welcoming and the bartender was very accommodating and patient. I happened to sit next to an employee who helped me navigate their list and made some great recommendations. Some of the prices were very reasonable compared to other parts of the country and some were not (as to be expected). This is a great place to try some vintage dusty bottles and unique pours. Their batch cocktails weren't bad at all either. The space is very cool, but sadly I wasn't able to check out the bottle shop as it was closed (late in the evening). If you're passing through town I suggest a stop. Great spot!

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 bartender - I wish I had gotten his name! - was fabulous. This is not a slingin' drinks scenario, this is finding the right cocktail for you so that you discover new flavors and enjoy something different. Shoutout to the excellent service from the Thursday night bartender! Finally, the mood gives me American-Gothic-meets-tartan-clan. It's classy and casual, a great date spot or 1:1 conversation with cozy nooks to curl up in to sip on a tasty beverage and snacks with a friend. I'll definitely be back.

It was not very crowded for a Saturday night. I only ordered bottled beer because I wasn't sure how the staff was with mixing drinks. I'm sure they are good I'm just skeptical. Phil the bartender was very friendly and talkative and told me a little bit about the place. I think the building is very cool and I love anything vintage. I will say some things need to be updated and such. And there is a stale smoke smell in the place and I have heard it does smell like that. Overall I like how vintage it looked. I will return here but, not on a regular basis. They do sell merch here if you ever wanted anything from Louisville's oldest bar. Drinks are reasonably priced especially bottled beer.
