Baker was super sweet and fun to talk to! She gave us the best recommendations and offered a sample of the cider before I ordered it, which was super nice since I'm very picky for food and drinks. The bar itself was nice, cozy, and chill. Would definitely recommend and will for sure be back! read more

All I can say is 10/5. Wonderful experience and amazing cocktails. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Epiphany is a place where you can go with any type of group or by your lonesome and have a done fun time. I got the Kiss Me Deadly and Sage Advice. Mwah chefs kiss to both. Huge shout out to our server/ mixologist. Per my receipt, I don't have a real name. She was quite lovely. read more

Went on December 6th, and the whole place looked amazing. So many great holiday decorations, they even had some animatronic Santa stuff. Their holiday menu looked like a Christmas card. Lots of holiday themed drinks. Very cozy inside. Food was very good. If you need a little holiday spirit, go check them out. Bartenders were very friendly. We will be back. The only thing I wish were better is the cleanliness of the bathrooms (which appear to be shared with another business or two). read more

Incredible staff & menu, we were only in town a couple nights but these guys were the absolute highlight. Super knowledgeable, incredible price point, beautiful location. We wanted to hit the spot again but very sadly ran out of time. Baker & Taylor took care of us & did an incredible job, by far the best experience we had in Louisville this week. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went with my friend for a girls night drinks to epiphany and I'm not sure we'll ever go. Any place else anymore! The staff was very comforting and kind and very knowledgeable about their drinks. The insane variety of cocktail ingredients made for a unique experience when it came to their menu. We each got three different beverages and loved them all, and I think that I could go back in with no menu and get cocktails based on the recommendations of our incredibly knowledgeable server and be just as happy. Hands-down, the best cocktail bar in Louisville. read more

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. read more

The cocktails are great because the bartenders are incredible. The kind of place where you can tell them what spirits or flavor profiles you like, and they'll make you something. Though I did manage to stump the bartender when I ordered a Green Point one time. But he proceeded to make a perfect one. Not a lot of different bar munchies but what they have is VERY good read more

The punch was great. Nice selection of beers and wines in addition to their cocktails. We also tried the tiramisu crème brûlée which was delicious. Super cozy and chill vibe. read more

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!!!! read more

My husband and I came on Valentines evening, expecting a major crowd, and were so relieved to find a quiet place where we could just enjoy the night. The snacks were great, they had mocktail options, and I loved the environment. We're definitely hoping to come back in sometime read more

Great drink menu but it was too bright for a Christmas popup bar. I really liked the appetizer deals and need to try the biscoff pecan cheesecake dip! read more

We came in for mocktails and even though they were reworking the drink menu, they found what they needed and crafted two great drinks. Some of the best we have had with real depth and flavor. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Amazing cozy quirky and fun ! Delicious nibbles and fabulous drinks ! Service was personal and happy you came to visit

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! read more

This is a great spot for bites and cocktails. The service staff is incredible -- and even though the menu might seem a little out there for those new to the cocktail scene -- the bartenders are happy to walk you through it and help you find something you'll enjoy. I had the Born Slippy -- a refreshing "bubble gum" like margarita that was actually made with asparagus. It was delicious. Was doubly delighted by the bites. We had the matcha salsa, which was like a peanutty, chili smoked paste and a mind blowing experience full of flavor. The restaurant is cozy but comfortable. We were there on a Friday night and it was just busy enough that it wasn't awkward, but intimate enough that we had the staff's full attention. I've got a gluten allergy and they were very kind about walking me through what was safe to eat and what was not. read more

Ian and I decided to stop in to this new spot on a Friday evening and we're so glad we did! This cozy cocktail bar is the perfect addition to this end of Bardstown Road. It's tucked away and might be a little hard to find the entrance on your first try. When you park or walk up along Highland Ave, there's a parking lot behind the old Chase Bank. The door is a little hidden and facing away from the street, but it's there! I'd been following Epiphany on social media for awhile, anxiously waiting for them to open. Based on the photos I saw, I was expecting a larger space, but the interior is pretty cozy and beautifully designed. Early evening, around 6 to 7ish, was the perfect time to arrive. We found two seats at the bar and more and more people started arriving after we sat down. I'm pretty sure at one point, every seat was filled - so it's a pretty poppin' place! Every cocktail we had was on point, but I do have to say they hit me in the feels with the gin martini ft. a Kentucky "olive" garnish. I had to ask why it was in quotes and he said that the "olives" are actually baby tomatoes that they brine! Love it. The little snack we had hit the spot, too (Benedictine dip with the baguette slices in a jar). The prices for everything seemed incredibly reasonable for the ambiance, quality of the drinks, and the filling snacks. We'll definitely be back, probably around the same early-evening time since it got so busy as we sat there! read more

What a hidden gem! We read about Epiphany in the paper and decided to stop by. By hidden, I mean YOU CANNOT SEE THIS BAR FROM BARDSTOWN ROAD. It's located across the street from the highlands Wick's pizza. You enter the bar off of the parking lot off of Highland Ave. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking with Grant, one of the bartenders. Cute decor - hipster vibe without the instagram neon. Will be a micro brewery soon. Decorated with local artist's work and local produce for sale. Also liked the merch for sale. Relaxing music and a very photographic tree with an unknown name. Have to finish off saying that I appreciate the well lit and clean restroom. Will see you again soon, Epiphany! read more

soon to be new micro brewery but now well crafted drinks and delicious goodies to try. Lol After dinner on Bardstown Rd at Jack Fry's we shuffled our way out of the cold to Epiphany bar ( soon to be micro brewery) across the street behind the old post office caddy corner to Starbucks. The bar was inviting and packed with old friends and friendly locals. The drinks were exceptionally well made balance and unlike some places drinkable and enjoyable,l, All do to the wonderful skilled of the knowledge staff. Atmosphere: it's not quite fully opened however the clean coziness is well apparent to the wonderful plush banquettes and well thought out bar seating with the perfect height and comfort. As you enter a whimsical produce stand giving a homage to the owners background and family heritage of farming and produce purveyors from what I was told. Service: polite , fast, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. Food: very unique bar snack Great unique local purveyors and delicious in house made snacks. Upscale gastro pub stuff if you ask me lol but the locations not quite done and up and running fully so put your own two cents worth in. Congratulations and I look forward to more evenings. read more

Went to Epiphany for the first time on their first birthday celebration. Smaller place with outside seating available- it was of course pretty packed for the event. Bartenders were kind and attentive and recommended a cider on tap since I don't love bourbon. My friends enjoyed their bourbon cocktails. They had a grazing station with tasty hummus and bread as well as quiche. Overall, I will definitely be back for the drinks and atmosphere alone. read more

I love it here. Come in the late evening. Ben and Indigo take time to make you feel seen, heard, and hopefully by the time you leave- very drunk on well balanced, meticulously crafted cocktails. Make sure to order "The Jailbird". Tell the pair your gossip. (they want to know, trust me). Bring a deck of cards and enjoy good company under soft lighting. Every drink printed onto their quaint parchment menu is worth savoring. read more
