Very cool bar with a huge bourbon selection! It has such a cozy vibe. Prices are very reasonable. We went right before Halloween and they had cute decorations and bowls of candy it was less crowded than expected at midnight on a Saturday, and we sat at the bar and enjoyed several drinks. Staff was great also. I would love to come back the next time I’m in Louisville!

This place has such an awesome vibe until you order a drink. I’ve been a regular at every dive bar in this area but new here. In my 3 visits here i can tell you I’ve never met bartenders who hate serving people drinks this much. They act like they actually hate their patrons, and I’m talking about first timers who they should be showing their best selves to get tips from. It’s actually kind of hilarious how entitled they seem

This place is such an excellent gem of a bar. Great cocktails, good environment, locally owned and clearly very much loved. Was so happy to stumble upon it during our travels in Louisville. We will definitely be back.

Nice place. But bartender is smoking/vaping. So nasty. Unprofessional. Who wants that crap all over your drinks and food? Bizarre. Where is management ? Shame . Nice music and lighting. She is crop dusting everyone.

My first time at the Pearl and I felt like a great fit. Not overly busy but more people than I expected on a Wednesday night. Limited in food options this is a great place after eating at any one of the restaurants like the Post in the area. I liked the retro appearance. We had a small group of us sitting at a table probably used for some kindergartners and the surrounding 50s and 60s pictures really had me enjoying the bar before I got my drink. They pretty much had the normal types of beers. Would not call this a craft place but they had something for everyone and was definitely not a pretentious establishment. I would love to go and see how lively it could get but for a mid week gathering it was perfect. Music was at good volumes and the service was prompt and curtious what more can you ask for eh?! Stop in for a quick drink if you want to start or end your night in the Germantown area for sure.

Love this place. Eclectically decorated. Good selection of drinks, and they have some options for people that like to take chances such as a mystery beer or spinning a wheel to choose your drink.

I go there once a month for a lesbian night and it’s the best night of the month. The staff is friendly and always takes care of you, even when they’re slammed. I do wish the space was more accessible, because my friend who uses a wheelchair can never come. The bathrooms are too small for her device and the back patio has no ramp. Otherwise, the atmosphere is generally very good.

My husband enjoys this bar, and I don’t hate it. Upon first entering, the bar is on your right and tables make an L shape around the room. The decor is kitschy, hodgepodge of various pop culture things. Personally, I found some of the graphic decor distasteful/misogynistic. There’s no real theme. It almost looks like they went to an estate sale and just put it all up on the walls.
Past the bar a lady sets up and makes food, and there is a patio outback with ample seating. They have a beautiful tulip bed on Texas.
The staff seem to help people in the order they arrive, are efficient, and make good drinks. My DH loves their house made sweet and sour mix. It elevates their cocktails and makes it worth the extra drive.
The atmosphere is typical of a Germantown bar, lots of small friend groups, a good mix of music including indie/rap/new wave/etc, People seem to keep to their own groups. I’ve seen both single women and men at the bar not being bothered. The lighting reminds me of the Smokey yellow-orange of the 80’s, but dim.
