I have since returned here a couple times after my first visit, and these return trips changed my…read moreopinion a bit towards something a bit more positive. We had better initial upon walking in and getting seated service, which was my biggest complaint after my first visit. The food and drink remain great. Share-ables are interesting and tasty and getting a few things to try and share among friends or a small group has been great. And the drink options remain varied, intriguing, and delicious. Most recently, I got a couple different spritzes that were light and refreshing, which was wonderful in the hot hot heat of a Kentucky summer. At the end of our visit, a large party had come in for their reservation and it was difficult to get a server's attention to close out/get our check so we could pay and leave. So there are still some service things that could be improved. But overall, my return visit had me wanting to add a star to my initial review. I would be happy to return again, maybe even at my own suggestion rather than just if a friend suggested it.

All the windows are wonderful but also make it so so cold in there you need to dress warm or you won't last long. There is a fire place in the center but it doesn't emit any heat unless you touch it. This is a great place to work at, catch up with a friend, or digest a drink. I think the drink service starts at 3 but the room is available way before that. It's off the left of the lobby and will have people working in it during the day.

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. This the final stop here at the Last Refuge to celebrate his legacy and better aged bourbon among us.

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 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!

I was very satisfied with that one and would probably come back again next time we're in town!

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! I got some to go because I don't think I could have waited for the next time.
