    Fun little speakeasy bar in downtown Louisville! The bartender was so friendly, with her Malort sweater and all! We had some time to kill and Hereafter had been recommended to us by one of our tour guides so we figured we'd check it out! We arrived just as they opened and it happened to be Happy Hour as well! We chatted with the sweet bartender and had a couple drinks. The inside is decorated very well, great vibes! I was curious about the upstairs, not sure if thats open to patrons or not but I did not investigate. Keep this place in mind if you are looking for a speakeasy spot for some drinks!

    Beautiful place! I love their entrance. It is so neat. You have to see it for yourself. The bartenders are so nice and the cocktails are amazing. They do have live music from Wed to Saturday with different bands or singers. This is the place that I will go back.

    Absolutely love this place! Me and my wife originally came here before dinner reservations on our anniversary over a year ago but have come back multiple times! It's a great atmosphere to hang out, chill, talk, and have a few drinks. The staff are absolutely incredible! Every time we come they always make us very welcomed and talk to us like we've known them for years! We have also met one of the owners working there before and she was the hardest worker there! You can tell the owners expect nothing but the best service from their employees! This is our favorite little spot where we have created a lot of memories! No college kids or frat boys looking to get lit or turnt up. Just a great crowd of adults looking to wind down and chill out.

    Great date spot or place to grab a nice cocktail with friends. It's in the basement of the misfit and has a good amount of seating. The drink menu had a lot of good options. I can't remember the names of what we ordered but one was an old fashioned and the other had a pear flavor to it. Both were great. There wasn't any live music but I could see this place being busy if they had someone playing. Cool spot!

    I spent the weekend In Louisville on a work trip and this bar was easily the best experience I had. Amazing cocktails, amazing service and amazing vibe. Zack, KP, and Bandit made me feel right at home with great conversations and great drinks. I went meaning to spend time enough for one cocktail, but ended up staying for three hours. When I come back to town this is the first place I'll be visiting.

    I wish I remembered what this one was.

    Stopped in Saturday night after dinner at Mussels and Burgers with a friend. And to say that we enjoyed it is a understatement! Zach our primary bartender was and absolute pleasure! We gave him free reign, and he definitely did not disappoint! Between his awesome personality and the cool chill vibe, it made for a great night! We'll definitely make a return visit!

The bartender was snarky, but it felt ironic and playful -- classic dive bar energy. No issues at all. I even suggested we return Monday night with coworkers. For context, multiple bartenders at the first bar we visited that evening warned us not to go to 3rd Street Dive due to past negative experiences. I brushed it off because my Sunday visit had been fun and I thought they just didn't like the dive bar vibe. Monday was a completely different story. The bartender was openly hostile from the start -- yelling and swearing at customers, aggressively confronting people for briefly being on their phones, and creating a tense, uncomfortable environment. Demanding no one stand at the bar while we were trying to pay our tab. The situation escalated when he intentionally and aggressively threw a drink on one of my coworkers. This was not an accidental spill in a packed bar. It was deliberate. At that point, it stopped being "dive bar attitude" and started feeling volatile and unsafe. There's a difference between edgy and unprofessional. Sunday felt edgy. Monday felt unpredictable and uncomfortable. Louisville has too many great spots to risk spending your evening somewhere that could escalate like that. I hope ownership takes a serious look at what's happening behind the bar. I won't be returning.

This place was also down the block from our Airbnb so we could walk there. They had a lot of boozy coffee drinks and I really like that. I decided to try their Espresso Martini. This was our last bar stop prior to going out to dinner with friends. My drink had a house made espresso, Absolut vodka, Borghetti (coffee liqueur), a rich simple syrup, and coffee beans. My drink was rich and delicious and I absolutely loved their espresso. I do not recall what drinks my friends ordered. By the time we were leaving there was plenty of people in the place and appeared there was some sort of event gathering. We will have to come back here and with all the coffee drinks they had this may well be the place to start our day next time.

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 vibes is warm low light. Parking is street only and limited. You may have to park a block up and walk.

I walked in around 5:15pm on a monday night, with plans for a friend to join me around 5:30. The sign at the host station said to wait to be seated. So I waited. And waited. and waited... Folks walked in after me, waited for a bit and then sat themselves at the bar. But I did not want to sit at the bar, we wanted to sit at a table. The server seemed to be willfully ignoring me and avoiding my attempts at eye contact. The bartender was taking care of everyone at the bar as well as making drinks for the rest of the patrons too, he saw me eventually and was looking around for the server or (nonexistent?) host to help me out. The bartender ultimately told me that I could just seat myself wherever I wanted, so I did. There were maybe 3 table seated at this point, it was not that busy. Then it took yet another chunk of time (6 pages read in my book I never leave home without) before I got water and menus. I was frustrated but was looking forward to seeing my friend and was ready to make the most of it. All that said, I like the vibe of the space. The dark, cozy vibes. We came because we wanted cocktails and something to nosh on. And eventually we got that. We shared a flatebread and an Asian-inspired hushpuppy sort of situation. They were pretty tasty and nice to have with our cocktails. The cocktail list is longer than expected and with a lot of intriguing sounding offerings. The two I had were very tasty and delicious! I would maybe come back again and sit at the bar so a solo visit if I had a stretch of time and no rush. My overall memory of the visit is still about the over-long wait/being ignored for such a long time after entering.
