This bar has great seating and areas to hangout. Some nights are karaoke and other nights live DJs with dance floor. Two different bars for easy access to drinks.

I gave my wife a $100 bill to pay for one beer and one long Island and a $5 tip. My wife did not notice at the time they only gave her $34 in change. We noticed later in the evening when we went to pay for our dinner at another location. I went back to see if they could help. I figured they would be able to see it when they reconcile their cash for the night. They ring the drinks up in a computer based POS system, so they should be able to easily see if they had too much cash. I'm not assuming ill intent. I believe it was a mistake. The fact that they were not willing to even look into it, and claimed there was nothing that could be done since it was paid for with cash is extremely disappointing. Again they have a POS system. They are not operating with a calculator and cash box.

What a wonderful place! We came to Louisville to celebrate a birthday and decided to stop by and try all the gay establishments while here. This was by far our favorite - warm and welcoming bartenders and lovely locals that made us feel right at home. It was great meeting all of them and I look forward to stopping by the next time I’m in Louisville (and considering how much bourbon flows through that city, it is going to be soon!)
