    Such a cute venue! We had our Lou book and sip club here. I had a cute purple mocktail called the blunder. I'll definitely be back!

    My wife came home one day and told me she wanted to try a new place called Prova. Since I'm always up for trying somewhere new, I agreed immediately. One Sunday afternoon we had a free time in our schedule and decided Prova would be our destination. We arrived shortly after they opened and were greeted by a festively decorated space that immediately set the mood. The friendly bartender welcomed us, and we took seats at the bar. After looking over the Christmas drink menu, I went with the Yippee-Ki-Cocoa Motherf**er--and wow, it was incredible. Made with truffle bourbon, chocolate amaro, cocoa, and topped with whipped cream and popcorn butter dust, it was hands-down delicious. My wife chose the Zabaione eggnog and reluctantly let me have a taste--it was excellent as well. From the Hemingway's Holiday Spain to the Gingerbread Man-Hatten, every drink we tried was fantastic. They were out of a couple of items, but that barely put a dent in our options. And I can't forget to mention our bartender--he was outstanding: knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We're already looking forward to going back and ordering from their standard menu.

    I went there for their ticket event called Magical three courses of small bites and cocktails. It is more of Harry Potter Theme. It was truly amazing experience! The spot was perfect size and it was easy to park. Their drinks aka cocktail are amazing. It make me want to come back for their regular service. Because I love their old fashioned.

    Heard about this place from a news outlet and Facebook posts. I learned on Thursdays it's First Responders and Healthcare workers day were some drinks are discounted. They always post events, food trucks etc. on Facebook. With this Thursday special, my friend and I went here on a whim. This is located at what used to be the Old 502 Winery taproom. We were actually impressed with the ambiance of the place. It's also 21 and up only which is a plus. I ordered a Killing of KY Moon and my friend got one of their wines. I forget the name of it. This drink in my opinion was pretty potent. My friend loved the wine. Although we miss Old 502 Winery, we loved the experience. We also got a little bit of background on the place and along with a few other people got to sample some of their spirits. Will definitely be back.

    I will start off by saying that since Prova is new, my hope is that they are just "young" and things will be better. I was very excited to visit when I was in town, as I love all things Italian and supporting locally owned businesses. However, the visit sadly left much to be desired. When we walked in, there were a handful of people sitting at the bar and a couple of people at the outdoor patio area. We were unsure of where to go, so we sat at a table close to the bar and looked at the menus. There were two bartenders and neither looked in our direction or acknowledged there was anyone in the establishment, besides those at the bar. We waited almost 10 minutes and then decided we would try sitting at the bar since those people were getting drinks. As we sat down, we saw there was a mat in the middle of the bar that said "Order Here." Our first drink was made by a female bartender who seemed to rely more on the "theatrics" of the drink making process rather than engage customers. I ordered the Limoncello Spritz after confirming the limoncello was house made. Sadly it was incredibly lacking and the prosecco seemed to take over the drink as it was not enjoyable and the lemon flavor didn't come through at all. My boyfriend ordered the Paper Tiger which had a cute presentation but the flavors didn't seem to compliment each other but were just "there." I wanted to have a chance to try their signature "Killing Moon of Kentucky" and ended with that drink. This time, the gentleman bartender made my drink. He was very pleasant and you could tell he truly enjoys what he does and is talented. The beginning of the drink was unique but as you continued to drink it, the liquid turned more to a flavorless slush; not what I was expecting or wanting. The other disappointment was all of their wine is from California; not one Italian. The saving part of our experience, humorously enough, was the ladies restroom. Thought was put into the restroom décor and they made sure "shark week" needs were met. As a new business, it would be an expectation to greet anyone who visits your establishment, tell them a bit about the location and be engaging. When we're in the area next, we might try again, but we'll give them time to work on their customer engagement and to finesse their cocktail-making.

    Met some girlfriends here for their Grand opening and was highly impressed! The drinks are so unique and delicious! Each bartender takes the time to pour you a well crafted cocktail. I really enjoyed the space, from the beautiful artwork to the restrooms. This is the perfect place to come with your girlfriends or a cute date night in the city. Highly recommend the Aperitivo Rosso Spiritz, it was great! I also had the limoncello Spiritz(not pictured) They do not offer food but there are usually food trucks parked outside, if you get hungry!

    Prova is an awesome new Italian bar in Louisville! I went there for the Taylor Swift listening party last Friday and was pleasantly surprised. They have a good sized bar with a nice patio attached. I had two drinks - one was The Showgirl which was a special that night, and the other was called the Red Right Hand. Both came in glasses chilled by what I believe was liquid nitrogen which was cool to see. They both had very balanced flavors and the Red Right Hand came with an orange flavored bubble thing on top (you'll have to look at the picture). Our drinks also came with some olives and nuts, so I felt like I was right back in Italy. I love that they make their own spirits and might have to buy a bottle next time I'm in.

They had the most interesting and delicious flavors that you could possibly think up. The guy behind the counter was amazing, gave us the run down and let us sample pretty much everything.

There's even a few non-dairy options for the lactose intolerant. But if a "regular" flavor speaks to you, they offer free enzyme supplements. But Retta's is more than an ice cream counter. They specialize in custom, house made desserts. Evidently, the neighborhood hosts a "progressive" dinner and the last stop, dessert, of course, is at Retta's. Desserts are featured after 4pm, so we didn't get to sample. But, we did watch the owner, Ben, handcraft the evenings' dessert. While his sous chef was busy in the back making other sweet specialties. Make no mistake, the menu is diverse, expensive, and made with care. The vibe is coffee house, with a huge record collection to provide the right ambiance. Oh, hours later and my wife is still raving about her Matcha, Black Sesame, chocolate ice cream!

    Are we talking "On Heavens Gate!"…read more Yes, Bob Dylan, that inspirational author, songwriter, wordsmith, and artist has a Bourbon. 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.

Turning an old church into a bar/restaurant always makes for a unique environment. 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!
