Jockey Silks Bourbon Bar

I’m not sure why this place won a sizzler? Visiting from Nashville. I honestly love Louisville. Birthplace of true spirits. However, this place is dark, uninviting and staff doesn’t know you even walked in until you flag someone down. They have an extensive cocktail list that I was ready to get down on and went through 3 choices that couldn’t be made as the bartender either didn’t know how or “don’t have the ingredients for”. Settled on the Lady D and it’s terrible. At the bar because our first two seat choices nobody visited us for service. At the bar it was dirty, unkept; and leftover lunch was the only constant (see pic) Order a salmon salad and I supposed they had to catch the salmon because 1 hour later they forgot my change of cheese choice. Hubby ordered pizza, don’t bother this is NOT their speciality unless you like a burnt bottom. If all the choices I found on trip advisor this one should be removed. If you decide to go, take one advice, Debra was our bar servicer; barely greeted, cursed at the “rush crowd” kept asking how to mix drinks without the ingredients and complained the entire time. Urgh! I wish I wasn’t so hungry, had parked and was committed at this point to eating….just paid for the food and left

Sam was amazing! He said it was his first day…he needs to fast tack because he was great! Made us several amazing margaritas that wasn’t on the menu!! We will be back! Thanks Sam!

While it was incredibly busy, they were completely understaffed. My colleagues and I waited 30 minutes and after getting a waiter's attention, we eventually got glasses of water. However, the dirty dishes from the guests before us were still left on the table. 45 minutes after arrival, we left to find another location where we could order food and beverages. I do not recommend this location, especially during busier times.

There is a bartender with a beard that is extremely rude at Jockey Silks. He ignores people. He chats on his phone. He doesn't even look at you for 10-20 minutes... Even when he's not busy. He was working last night on 3/6/24 around 9 pm. We left and went upstairs to swizzle. He didn't even seem to care. We had this issue before with him twice a few months ago.

Best bar in the city. A “need to go” place. Make sure you go when Gill is working though, he knows everything.

A beautiful place. The ambiance is wonderful. A great spot to unwind after a long day. One complaint - too classy of a place to close at 9:25 and stop short of serving us (and others) before even ordering, when slated to close at 11 PM. We had just come from the gym and wanted a quick unwind cocktail before retiring for the evening.

Visiting from out of town, we’ve been here twice and both times the food, service, drinks and atmosphere were delightful. The menu had changed since the last time we were here a year ago but the food was still really good. Kind of a hidden gem.

Ernesto at the bar was awesome. Great vibe, good Bourbon and wonderfully done. We will go back anytime we are in town.

A family member of mine left their wallet today and there was no way to get a hold of this place. The # listed on Google is the general # to the hotel and when you do reach the bar it takes you to voice-mail. This is awful customer service! How are you supposed to reach the bar??
