On my Birthday I was able to enjoy some Smooth Jazz from the Orchestra and they were dynamite. I had a margarita and it was good. Service good and love the atmosphere ambiance tables and couches complimentary snacks like pretzels.

Whiskey thief is such a great experience! We decided to come here for my husband's birthday and as we're walking in, there was a couple walking out that really encouraged us to go in because it was such a great vibe. The servers were amazing. My husband got to experience what the whiskey thief actually is. They also had if it's going on and was just part of the competition. The server is really knowledgeable and explained a lot of things to us. If we were in the area, we would come back!

Went in for a tasting and turned out to be a nice treat. Casual . The service was excellent she explained how the bourbon was made and how it comes out.

Best place to try Bourbon and many different kinds. Sample la today were five varieties: 5 yr 70/21/09 119.8 proof 4 yr 74/18/08 107.2 proof 5 yr 54/36/10 115.9 proof 5 yr 78/10/12 116.0 proof and I don't know the last one. I learned a lot about the first number near the corn content and the second has something to do with the flavor and so on. I am not a drinker and the staff provided me with a ton of information to understand a lot about Bourbon. It was a great experience

The Nulu Tasting Room offers good vibes, great pours, and if you pick the right night, excellent jazz.

This is a really cute spot! It's a bit tucked away, but I recently went for a cocktail. There is some dedicated parking, but otherwise you'd need to park on the street. Upon entering, we received a very friendly welcome and were given the lay of the land. You can do a tasting for $30, which includes a souvenir glass, or you can have a drink at the bar. We opted for cocktails at the bar, and they were so lovely. The space is beautiful, and they also have live music on the weekends. There is also a nice gift shop area! I really enjoyed browsing the curated goods. Plus, there's a free photobooth for extra fun! What a lovely gem!!

Stopped in and had a few drinks, sampled some bourbon and left with a bottle of their prototype winter gin! All of the staff working were very friendly and knowledgeable. Had the pomegranate mule and bourbon sloshie. Hoping to stop in again during the Louisville Bock Fest & Wurst Fest!

What a great visit. Tasting straight from the barrel. I even got to pour my own bottle from the barrel. Had a great time.

Pomegranate mule (with bourbon) which was delicious

Love this place for a pre or post dinner cocktail. They often have live music as well.

The best stop on the KY Bourbon Trail! I've been twice and can't wait to go back soon.

Great spot for tasting. Fill your own bottle. Nice outdoor space. Friendly staff. Located behind Last Refuge in NuLu.

Marcie N.

This was an amazing spot. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Very helpful when trying to decide what to drink. There were plenty seating available. I want to revisit when there is live music because they had stage there. We went for a silent disco, so definitely going back to do a tasting from their barrels.

My wife came home one day and told me she wanted to try a new place called Prova. Since I'm always…read moreup 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.

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.

They really have outdone themselves in renovations! It's just so beautiful and photos are great but seeing it in person will show you what I mean. The staff is beautiful and they handled my questions perfectly. Coming from everywhere to relocate here so it's great to meet other transplants in this city! One of my favorite parts of moving here has been discovering new places that are local and finding out they came here from somewhere else too lol! The massive selection of wine and drinks is not only impressive- it's important to know they have work so hard on curating every aspect of this place. Only using art created by local artists that is for sale and will change every 6-8 weeks! So if you see it... you know you want it- get it before someone else snatches it up for themselves!!! The space is so elegant and showcases such diversity throughout! It's so unique and yet flows together seamlessly... just like our unique city and community. I really feel they embraced and embodied this wholeheartedly. Yeah keep Louisville weird- and upscale lol. Perfection. They only use local haunts we all love and eat at! Red hog, blue dog bakery and more. This place is super sick and such a special treat! I really hope everyone shows up and enjoys this place and gives them a big beautiful welcome they are so deserving of. Louisville this is a great place for dates, get togethers, and wine....down & relax at! Literally inside and outside this is just drop dead beautiful!! Cannot wait to return! Chefs kiss hit em five times!

Absolutely loving the new Location on Liberty Street. It's now adjacent to my other favorite…read moreplaces (Dogebeans, Bandido, and Falls City). Just attended the grand reopening at the new location recently. They were in the process of moving when the pandemic hit and I had lost all hope the tasting room would never open again. The old location on 10th street was bigger than current location. It's smaller but long on the inside best way to describe it. So as I'm attending the grand reopening, it was later in the evening beings I was going to see a Band Play at Falls City for their Birthday Bash, so the place was still somewhat hopping. I think everyone else there had quite a bit to drink as well so they had to been there awhile. Staff behind the bar was friendly and greeted me promptly as I walked up to the bar. They didn't have any seating at the bar which was odd, everyone that was at the bar was standing. I asked what flavor slushy they had because I saw 2 of them. I was told one was the Singria and the other Kentucky White Lady, one of them suggested I mix them and that's exactly what I did. I stood at the bar and sipped on my slushy. I even walked the small space and saw they have candles scented like the wine but only had 2 different ones. They have more merch now than before. In conclusion, I'm very impressed with the new setting and having the opportunity to reopen. I hope they will host the Kickoff Party For Louisville Pizza Week this year, that's what got me to go their old tasting room. I've missed them having that party last 2 years. Thanks Covid. They also have their wine cheese available too and I wanted to get the Goat Cheese that's absolutely delicious however I was going to the Birthday Bash at their neighbors (Falls City) and didn't want to carry it around or sit in my car. I will be back.

The past few weeks have been gorgeous so sitting with the garage doors open has been amazing. Mallory has also been absolutely amazing with her service. She is a gem and I love that she remembers people from week to week. They have live music on Wednesday's and both bands so far have been great. They have charcuterie boards for purchase and you can also have food delivered. The half off bottle deal is too good to pass up and I'll be stopping in on Wednesdays more frequently for a mid-week treat!
