    This place is a bit hidden, but well worth the hunt. The interior is cozy and thoughtfully curated. I ordered the bourbon cocktail, it was delicious. We also ordered 3 for $27 snacks, the salsa, cheese ball and queso were all tasty. Service was solid, but, didn't get refills on water, most likely due to how crowded the place was. Would love if they add specials and/or a happy hour.

    Cool, semi-hidden gem in the Highlands. Great cocktails, some tasty snacks, and excellent service. I see it described as a speakeasy vibe, which I can see in the sense of, it's tucked away and has that dimly-lit interior where you can have a quiet conversation in the corner or raise a glass with some friends and still feel like you're not in the middle of a crowd. Good spot.

    Tucked away with speakeasy vibes, Epiphany is the spot if you're looking for fun, creative, and delicious cocktails in an inviting and casual spot. Seating is a combination of bad, tables, high tops, and booths, typically able to walk in with no problem. Their Christmas pop up is extra special and a great time.

    I love cocktails and I enjoy mixology. And I fully endorse Epiphany as Louisville's best cocktail bar. I say this having tried all of them, by the way. My cocktail standards are high: I want to see novel ingredients and creative recipes and balanced flavor profiles. I want reasonable prices, generous pours, and bartenders who care about the craft. Epiphany nails it all. I've tried about fifteen different drinks here, and I have yet to have anything under three stars. The bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate. More than once, they've taken time to educate me about a bizarre ingredient, or allowed me to sample a spirit similar to one that I already know and love. There is pride here, and the menu rotates regularly with new inventions, meaning that there's always something new to experience. A side note if the staff chances upon my review: I hope you all regularly bring back the Bunny Lebowski, my all-time favorite Epiphany cocktail - it was carrot cake-themed and absolutely delicious. Weird-sounding, I know. Most of the recipes on Epiphany's menu leave me shaking my head incredulously exclaiming, "Now how in the world are they going to pull off a decent cocktail with Campari, banana, green pea extract, coffee, limoncello, gym socks, and cardamom!?" And then, by God, they always manage to do it. This place is brilliant at creating alcoholic beverages. It's the only bar in Louisville that makes mixology feel like an art form. Everyone else is a dabbling amateur by contrast.

    Epiphany is what this urban farmers' dreams are made of! It's about time there is an OUT OF THIS WORLD Farm to table libation bar (with a solid alcohol free menu)!!! Pick up farm fresh eggs, order a Farm to table libation, and the most delicious bites plates on could imagine! The assorted pickles are far out - try em'! Oh, and one MUST NOT forget about the white chocolate mousse - my lawd. I am now a fan of mousse! Beautiful art is available for adoption on the walls. And you can not go wrong with any of the libations. The flight is a STEAL! I can not remember the cocktail names ordered, but one was cherry focused. While the other is made with turmeric greens and gin. De-lish-must! I mean it. Go. Now!!!!

    Trout dip, fig dip, and benedictine dip.

    One of my new favorite cocktail bars in Louisville!! The ambiance is amazing-great for a date night or grabbing a drink with a friend. The drinks were yum! The green juice was refreshing with great flavor. The study abroad has the perfect amount of kick. Our server gave great recommendations and was very attentive. We also grabbed some dips- the trout dip, fig dip, and benedictine dip. Highly recommend all of those!!! The trout was my favorite, but the fig and Benedictine together were also delicious. Definitely check this place out!

    The Cosmonaut!

    One of my favorite bars in Louisville! To begin with, the ambiance and decor is so cool and it feels like you are in New York or Chicago or one those big cities. Service: the bartenders are great and the owner Kelley is the sweetest ever! Drinks: All the drinks are so pretty but my favorite is of course "The Cosmonaut" which has vodka, fresh cranberry, sumac, orange curacao and crème de cassis. It is so good! They also have beers, wine and non-alcoholic drinks. Food: They have a good selection of snacks including salted peanuts, popcorn, pecans, cheese spreads and breads. I will definitely be coming back!

    I love this adorable little spot, tucked around the corner from Jack Fry's. We came across it randomly today, and I'm so glad we did! The farm to table concept is a great one; how cool to see it applied to the beverage industry! I love the layout and the decor, and the fresh produce for purchase was a great surprise. We weren't sure what to order, so they whipped us up a beautiful gin concoction that I couldn't say enough good things about. Mmm. We didn't try any of the snacks, but I'm excited to return and try them. This will go on our regular roster!

    This was my first time to Epiphany in more than a year, which was not long after it opened. This bar is right by where Baxter/Bardstown Road meet, but it is tucked away behind the street. There is some parking available, which can be hard to come by in the Highlands. Once you see the "E" and go inside, you are greeted by friendly bartenders. We got there about 6:30-7pm, which is prime dinner time for most, so the bar was pretty empty when we walked inside. While they don't offer huge entrees, they do have several small plate options. We were not hungry, but once they described the Bluegrass Machasalsa, we said yes. The combination of chili peppers and peanuts was sublime, and we savored every bite. Of course, Epiphany is best known for their cocktails, so we made sure to enjoy a few. We ordered The Louisville, Born Slippy, and the Bunny Lebowski. All were nice and refreshing, which was perfect for a hot day. The whip on top of the Lebowski was outstanding, and the carrot was not overwhelming. All three times I've gone, the bartenders have been very inviting and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is welcoming and approachable. I think this is a fantastic place for happy hour or a post-dinner treat.

    I went here on a Friday night around 6:45 with a party of three. I was able to immediately get a table, and I noticed the place started to fill up shortly after 7:00. This place is so cute! I really loved the ambiance, and the attention to details with the decor is amazing. It was a clean facility (including the bathrooms), and there was ample parking around back (you do have to pay, however). As for the service, I was pleased with the attentiveness. There was one point where the gap in service was a little longer, but it was a time where a bunch of people had just walked in. I was accidentally charged for food that was meant to be split with my party, and I didn't notice until I had already paid (my mistake obvi), but the server refunded it and only charged me for my two drinks instead. It was so kind! I am currently not drinking, but my friends ordered the Sangria and the Cosmopolitan. They said both were amazing! I order the non-alcoholic beverage called One Week, and it was delicious! I would recommend that more non-alcoholic options are added (I was told they only have alternative tequila, and I think alternative whiskey would be a great add). We also ordered the Kentucky Queso, Roasted Garlic Hummus, and Double Dark Chocolate Mousse. The queso was to die for, and the mousse was so rich! I will say the hummus was underwhelming as I expected it to have a stronger taste of garlic. Overall, I really enjoyed our time here! I would definitely recommend to others, and will likely take others here!

Marvelous atmosphere with an interconnected beer garden in the middle. Stunning food offers that shine on their own and sing louder when paired with their beers. The team at holy grale also bring it all together with incredible service. The burger is incredible, but I always come back for the schnitzel platter. I only wish they had a spaetzle to go with it! The fries are proper chippies, thick square cut and long. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. And there are so many dips to choose from. Salads are crisp and light and a marvelous side. I cannot say enough good things. I love the grales.

We had a couple cocktails in here and the service was excellent even though it appeared they were filled to capacity. There were 4 of us in our party and we were seated at a table in the corner near the bar. Was definitely a cozy spot with so many people being in there and the bar being full. I had The Holy Ghost cocktail and it was a pomegranate hibiscus sour, it had just the right amount of sour! I do not like bitter drinks and this one was good and easy to drink. My husband had a couple of dark beers, I do not remember which ones but he liked them. They had a nice outdoor area but it was a bit too cool for that but it may be worth a return in the Spring to check it out. Bathroom was also really cool as the decor and theme spilled over into it. We will be back.
