Hearafter is a hidden sort of speakeasy tucked away in the basement beneath Misfits downtown. It can be a little tricky to find the first time, but once you’ve been there, it’s easy to make your way back. The space has this classic underground lounge vibe, with a relaxed/dark atmosphere and occasional live music that fits perfectly with the setting.
The drinks are where Hearafter really shines though. Everything we tried was excellent, but the standout was a Malört-based cocktail that somehow managed to taste fantastic. Any place that can have me put “Malört” and “taste fantastic” in the same sentence deserves a visit for that alone. The food is also surprisingly good for a bar, rounding out the experience nicely.
Overall, Hearafter is the kind of place that’s easy to miss but hard to forget; great drinks, good food, and a cool hidden location make it well worth seeking out. Also, the two bartenders that were working there the night we went were absolutely perfect. Personable, witty, just the right amount of banter.

Great bar with a good selection of cocktails. Went too late for food unfortunately but good atmosphere. Would recommend going downstairs as seemed a better atmosphere than upstairs.

Great atmosphere! Hosted our book club here and their basement space was cozy with an eccentric feel! Great service and even better drinks! Looking forward to joining some of their upcoming events!

I’ve been to a few speakeasies and was stoked to check this place out.
One of the neat things about a speakeasy is that the act of entering is immersive. This place had an entrance like a standard bar with a sign on the street and additional signage inside. While that may be practical, it takes away from the allure of needing a password or special permission to go into a sudo-private space.
A velvet curtain upon entrance would have been cool. The lighting was also brighter than I expected for a space like that.
We got the loaded tots and they were bomb. The chicken was well seasoned.
So yeah, the place is cool, but with a few tweaks can be closer to a more true ‘speakeasy’ experience.

What a hidden gem! Walking into the bar felt like stepping into a completely different world. The atmosphere? The bartenders? The drinks? All superb. My husband had some excellent whiskey while I was accommodated with an amazing mocktail. A definite need to go if you’re in Louisville!

Super cool space and the vibe was chill! Limited range on craft cocktails but what’s on menu was excellent. The bartenders were super friendly and they really made the atmosphere. They even learned to make aviation cocktails for us and they were spectacular. Great place to hangout with friends.

We were looking for a speakeasy experience and were so glad to find this place. It’s not really obscure or hard to find but off the beaten path just enough. The atmosphere is dive-y and quirky, built for fun. Charlie the bartender had a great sense of humor and most importantly made very tasty drinks. We ended up reluctantly playing a trivia game, had a great time anyway, and won great prizes. Some good smelling food was available at a restaurant upstairs but we didn’t get any.
On the Louisville list of got-to-gos!

Hereafter is a hidden gem that feels more like a speakeasy than most bars billed as “speakeasies”. Getting down to the bar is a fun adventure. But what makes this place special isn’t just the vibe, the decor, the soft lighting, or the wonderful cocktails both on or off menu. It’s the service. Bandit and Tel are exceptional bartenders. Not just in their skill, but their genuine care for their customers. You come to the bar for a drink, but make friends along the way. It’s a pretty special place. I’m hesitant to leave a review, because I’d love it to be my secret, but it’s selfish to hoard such a lovely place and team. Thank you all!! ♥️

Came here last night, the vibes were interesting. Two of the bartenders were very chatty and informative, but the bartender we were sitting in front of kept leaning against the counter on her phone and staring up at us like she didn’t want us to be there. Fortunately, we had a good time chatting with the other two. Overall, would probably come back.
