    I'm not a drinker but they make good cocktails! In addition they also offer various flights. The bar space is pretty straight forward but I was able to view some of the other spaces they use for classes etc and they are both nice and clean. Overall this is a fun spot and good to try a flight!

    Growing brand with a retail location in downtown Louisville. We stopped by here tired of walking around town and went for a drink. After being exposed to char #3 Bourbon in multiple establishments, I decided to go lighter with only a toast barrel flight. It's pretty amazing, after experiencing multiple brands where you could pick up the variances in the processes. However this was my only toast barrel tasting, so I don't have a comparison. That being said, as the experts have said multiple times, the barrel truly impacts the flavor. The toast compared to a char, gives a much lighter body and caramel flavor profile. I'm partial to the French oak barrel finish and the rye. The French oak gives a lighter body and the rye has that nuttier finish that I appreciate. I appreciate the variety of different flights, I think this is one of the few on our trip with toast barrel, good novelty comparison.

    Went to Buzzards Roost to try their bourbons. Took the tour and the tried some other drinks at the bar with a charcuterie box. The tour was very informative and the samplings were very nice. The cigar rye is one of the best. The charcuterie was very good. The bar area was really nice. I highly suggest trying Buzzards Roost.

    Hidden Gem in downtown Louisville. Great staff and a nice atmosphere to relax. The smoked old fashion was my favorite next to the popcorn. Signage doesn't stand out, but it is close to 21c.

    Fun place with informative and helpful staff! Loved the tasting--private and informative! No pressure to be right. No pressure to buy. Chocolates are yummy

    He had a taster of bourbon, I ordered an old fashioned, and we both sat down to enjoy our experiences.

    Beautiful hotel in NuLu, and one I'd look to stay in again…read more I was in town for work and this was recommended to me, and let me say, their interior designer was in their bag for this one. Nice staff in my brief interactions, and the room itself was perfect. Big comfy bed, room darkening shades, cool design, big TV, and a great shower. I also got coffee (good) and banana bread (meh) from their little market attached on the ground floor. It's more of a boutique hotel so there's no fitness center, but I needed the break anyways so I'm not complaining. It's also right by tons of restaurants like Royals Hot Chicken, a popular ice cream spot, coffee, etc. all there outside the hotel. I do wish I was able to experience the rooftop but it was closed both evenings I was there due to a private event. All in all, a win!

    We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Genevieve! Pulling in, we were greeted with smiles by the…read morehelpful valets, both coming and going. Particularly Loutfi and Todd. The hotel staff was all super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Our room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. I would like more light in the bathroom, but if that's the worst thing I can say, I'm thrilled! We went to the rooftop bar and enjoyed drinks and dessert. Our server, Ella, was delightful, and our food and drinks delicious! Thanks for a great visit. We will def stay here again the next time we are in Louisville!
