What a cute bar! And for someone who's not a drinker they did have options beyond liquor. Super friendly bartender and patient as we figured out what we wanted. We stopped in for a couple hours before the Boo on Barret event- and glad we did. Missed the massive crowd that rolled in later on in the evening. This spot be hopping- you'll be standing if you don't come early. Had a great time and enjoyed the infused drinks. Thanks so much!! read more

ShopBar definitely exceeded my expectations. What is not to love you get to go shopping and grab a drink all at the same time. I got a beautiful dress at this location. In addition they have some art pieces that you can not score anywhere else. For any lovely Dolly Parton fans, they have some cool memorabilia. read more

Such a fun & friendly spot with great mock tails! Stopped in for a meeting and the bartender was helpful with picking something nonalcoholic out! The syrup was made in house! This spot is friendly and a great staple to the neighborhood. read more

This is one of the top places to sit outside and grab a drink in Louisville. The patio has plenty of seating, and you can hang out on couches or the cafe tables scattered across the area. The bartenders are very friendly and work through lines quickly if there's a backup. There's a great variety of cocktails you can choose from. My favorite right now is the Stop, Collaborate and Lemonade, but I've also enjoyed their take on the Dark and Stormy, the Alexander, and the Hunter & Harlow. They do a fantastic deal for happy hour every day, so keep an eye on those specials! There's no kitchen, but a variety of food trucks show up throughout the week. I recently tried one of the semi-regulars, Tommy's Pizza, the other night. On this particular night, they were so busy they ran out of dough, and switched to French bread as the base. I was disappointed at the news, but was happy with my order as soon as I took a bite. It was delicious! Whether you're looking for an afternoon drink, a night out with friends, or a cocktail date, Shopbar answers the call. And if it's not for you, the bar is right on Barret Avenue, within short walking distance of other spots. read more

Love the vibe... hands down a cool place with loads of potential. However... it's like the staff's personal play place. I find myself waiting at the bar because the bartenders are absent hanging at tables with friends. Or "insert eye roll" flirting with the women ordering. Gross. A bar doesn't mean professionalism doesn't exist. I hope they sort it out. read more

This was my first visit to ShopBar with a friend that lives nearby and it couldn't have been better. While they have a patio with heat lamps it was so, so cold. We have it a try but came inside to take a seat at the bar. Fantastic choice because the bartender was wonderful. We had a great time talking with him and loved every drink! I recommend the Effen and Stop Collaborate & Listen. Inside is intimate and definitely cozy, but for the most part we were able to keep some distance from others. A DJ was spinning vinyl and he dipped back to my generation. By the end of the evening we'd gone from head bobbing to chair dancing to out of our chairs. The crowd was fun too. Some playing cards, and several of us watching the TV as winter Olympic Games played. Curling to be exact. By the end of the night we were laughing and cheering for the teams, just a great crowd of strangers having cocktails and appreciating each other. Popular neighborhood spot and looking forward to more opportunities to visit, especially during warmer weather for the patio. read more

I've been wanting to stop by StopBar and finally had the opportunity this week! I arrived a little after 6 p.m. on a weekday, and most of the tables were already taken. The outside area has a good amount of seating that is first come, first served. We were able to snag one of the remaining outdoor tables and headed inside to order. Due to the beautiful weather, all the doors were open. The inside has 4-6 tables but is much smaller. You can order drinks at the bar, and there are two bathrooms and a water station! The menu has some great drink names. I opted for the Malatillo, with mezcal tequila. It came in a tall glass for $10. Drinks are prepared immediately and if you want to start a tab they keep your card. They also have a smaller beer menu, that I sampled when I was finished with my cocktail. They also have regular food trucks in front. Jay's Burgers was outside and had a steady stream of traffic while I was there. Love the atmosphere and proximity to my house. I'll be back to try the spicy margarita! read more

Ok it's been about a year since I came here for the Louisville Bar Bingo and it brought me back again this year. I'd say this visit was much better with no Covid restrictions in place vs. last year. I've also passed this place many times to and from work which it's actually a few blocks away. They are located on Barrett Ave, which means street parking is your option. It was nice to actually go inside this time vs sitting outside last year with heating lamps. There was plenty of bar seating for a Friday night but, the oncoming storms might have had something to do with that. I was able to be waited on promptly by the bartender and requested one of the drinks for the bingo card, all the drinks on the card could be made but had some different ingredients in some of them. I did choose the Blue Drink and forgot to snap a pic. The bartender sure knew her stuff and the drink tasted excellent. I haven't checked out the boutique next door and I need to next visit. Fast friendly service, great tasting drinks, a locally owned boutique next door will bring me back here. read more

ShopBar really came in clutch for Ian and me while we were on a walk the other day. It was a little chilly out and we were ready for a short break. We quickly realized that we hadn't ever been here during the day, only in the evening or nighttime. It was awesome, plenty of places to sit and the outdoor heaters kept things nice and toasty. I ordered the Shop Cider and started my punch card journey! It was absolutely delicious and the perfect drink for a chilly day. We sat near the outdoor fireplace and talked about how much we want to set something like this up in our own backyard. We can dream! In the meantime, we'll come over to ShopBar and hang here :) read more

What you have to know - this quality neighborhood bar has tons of outdoor and indoor well spaced seating, tasty drinks and apps, and takes covid precautions seriously so that once you're seated you can just relax and enjoy! Notable details for the page readers - this newly opened bar & boutique shop overflows with thoughtful details that make it a charming oasis for patrons to sit and relax and enjoy good company. During these crazy covid times they'll check your temperature as you walk in and masks are necessary, and they have hand sanitizer and social distancing in place. I appreciate that they've got the system down so it's not a huge deal, but still gives you confidence in the operation to keep you (and them!) reasonably safe. The space itself is eclectic and fun, with purpose. Like you went over to your favorite hippie aunt's house who collects fun vintage kitsch and can serve up a stout drink while talking deep universal truths. And finally, the three building system with a HUGE outdoor patio space is unique and works smoothly. Order food separately from FarmToFork on the right (and sometimes a food truck), shop local art and fun finds in the boutique in the middle, or grab a drink at the bar, probably my favorite space of all, on the left. My only regret is we wanted to eat dinner there and the menu was limited - maybe a Thursday thing for now - so we enjoyed our cocktails and split some nachos then went elsewhere for dinner. I've seen pictures of dinner fare from here so I'll try it again. And finally - note to self! - As we were leaving we saw a sign for a brunch option - I am definitely coming back for that! We had been ordering mimosas and quiche combos early this spring before they grand opened and fully enjoyed. I bet that porch and a Bloody Mary or three with some Farm To Fork breakfast options is stellar in person, wouldn't miss it! read more

What a cool spot. It looks almost like a greenhouse when you walk by and then you realize it is a shop and a bar with a super cute front patio. We had girls brunch yesterday at Big Bad Breakfast (Old Lynn's Paradise Cafe) and afterwards we wanted to keep hanging out so we walk over to Shop Bar. The patio was too inviting to pass up and even though it was a but rainy, there were enough covered spots to still hang out there and have a cocktail. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

ShopBar is for sure one of the quirkiest bars that I've been to in a while. It's small, but a very cozy and chill place to grab a drink and hang out. I mean, what kind of bar has a separate area just for shopping?? This especially makes for a great place to go when the weather's warm with a big patio outside. But even on the rainy, cold evening that we came in, it was still nice. The little building to shop in is separate, it was locked with a sign saying to let someone know if you wanted to look around to let someone know. It looked like it had a lot of cute little gifts and home decor-type of stuff. They have an attached food truck on the side where you can order things like burgers, nachos, fries.... I tried the loaded fries and they were really good!! If you're into bourbon, they offer flights and different specials. This is a cool bar! I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

I heard about this new space from Yelp! It's a fun space that's not very huge. There's outdoor seating which helps a bit. There's a fire to keep warm by. The inside portion has a good handful of tables. When my friends and I got here around 6:15 on Saturday, there were a few people sitting at the bar and a few at the tables. As we sat until 8, it got busy! Looks like lots of people were in the area popping by for a quick drink. Most didn't linger too long. We ordered our drinks at the bar, then got food from the truck outside. They give you a number and will bring the food to you. We shared nachos which were tasty! It had meat, mushrooms, cilantro, cheese, tomatoes. Yum!! I had a ginger beer while my friends got a soda similar to Sprite and a Narraganset lager. Prices didn't seem bad. The inside space is cool though. They've got plants around, grayscale pictures, two gender neutral bathrooms. It's dimly lit, which made the space feel intimate despite how loud it got. Can't wait to hang out here again and check out the shop next door! read more

We are from out of town and found this place by accident, while looking for bison meat (strange... I know). We decided to stop in and were immediately greeted by Nick at the bar! He was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. My husband enjoyed talking to him about sports and I was so excited to learn more about their mission and support of mental health services! We had amazing cocktails with housemade purées and fresh garden herbs (picked from their patio). At 3:00, a pop-up food truck was available with Philly quesadillas, Caprese Grilled Cheese and many other delicious items! It was such a neat eclectic place... we had a difficult time leaving! read more

Definitely one of the cutest bars in Louisville! More designed for summer, but the owner does a super job of keeping the patio heated when it's cold! I always get the shutdown, the other drinks are great but I can't stay away from that hibiscus! They have super cool activities throughout the week just stay updated and check them out! Just went here yesterday for drinks and Cousins Lobster food truck! I think they're on their way to becoming a louisville staple! read more

Cute small neighborhood bar with decent prices on drinks. They occasionally run specials -- just make sure it rings up correctly. Our group had 5-8 drinks rung up the wrong price, as long as you're vigilant everything should be smooth sailing. The bartender was more than happy to honor prices listed on menus and specials sign. We really liked that they had heaters outside, that really helped keep us warm on a chilly January evening. Can't wait to check out their boutique! read more

ShopBar is so COOL. You feel like you're in a friends eclectic backyard with all types of picnic tables, planters, pergolas, high tops... it's magical. We hung out for several hours talking about everything we needed to do in our own yard just because it's the entertainment space you always wanted. We only tried a few drinks, so we need to go back for food another day. Try this place!! read more

Shopbar is an unique experience as it is a bar and shop of Barrett Avenue. For small business Saturday, they were offering a 30% discount so I went to explore. Given COVID-19, they limit individuals in the shop to 3. They have a lot of unique options with vintage clothes, earrings, and local finds. When you aren't shopping, you can have a seat at the many physically distanced tables that are outside. They have fun cocktail options and some different beers/wines on hand. We went early in the evening, and it was nice to feel safe and be able to enjoy a drink outside. Can't wait to go back. read more

Decided to pop in after a Johnny Depp sighting. Very cute place. Lots of outdoor seating for the "bar" and they have a little kitchen to serve food. The "shop" is pretty small but has some cute stuff. A little overpriced to be honest, but I assume it's local artisans so we made some purchases. Cashier was very nice. Definitely a great place to be social. read more

I'm definitely a fan of Shop Bar! I've had the chance to visit this spot a few times now, and I have enjoyed each visit so much. The bartenders are great, the drinks are great (and they have every flavor of White Claw, c'mon!), the outdoor seating is phenomenal (the indoor seating is also good), and the food truck, and service from it, is also great! I honestly have no complaints from any of my visits. I've visited alone with B, as well as with friends, and we've all had a wonderful time on each visit. Plus, the "shop" part of the location is really cute. I haven't purchased anything, but I've stepped in to look around, and they have some really cool stuff. If you're looking to grab a drink (or a few), a delicious bite, or do some shopping, then Shop Bar is a great place to check out! read more

Unfortunately, I have given this place many tries to impress me. It is close to my house, has a great outdoor space, so I kept hoping it could be a solid nearby choice for a drink. Sadly, each drink I have gotten has been below expectations, especially for the price. Today, I ordered a drink special and no price was listed. As someone who orders cocktails from many cocktail bars in Louisville, I never thought the cocktail could have costed $20. This is more than the highest end cocktail bars in the city... and to not label the prices on the cocktails is predator behavior. But I was shocked to see the cost of over $40 for two cocktails. Today was the last straw and will not be back. I love to support local places when they mean well but there are numerous better local bars with fair prices and honest advertising. read more
