    I highly recommend this place for its originality, quality of food and service, as well as its ambiance. It was my first visit to this kinda hidden Louisville gem & I will certainly go there again. It was very much a positive experience.

    Best pizza ever. We loved the St Dylan's cocktail, the bacon appetizer with picked veggies was incredible. Service was top notch. Loved going to the loft for live music after dinner. Wish there was a full bar in the loft instead of just a few wines and domestic beer. The full bar downstairs has amazing crafted cocktails and a large beer selection. Can't wait to go back!

    The church renovation is beautiful and interesting as are the floor to cathedral ceiling bourbon shelf displays. A fun atmosphere in a good location. The lighting at the tables is poor, so we needed to use our phone flashlights to read anything. The pizza was delicious. Overall a fun experience!

    We were asked to leave a table marked reserved at 10pm when clearly no one was coming to dine there. Totally ruined my experience. Was coming back for my birthday in a couple of weeks but cancelling that. Bummer…

    Solid solid spot one of the most approachable bourbon lists I’ve seen but it is missing some of the mid to high range bourbons you’d expect to see

    Staff went above and beyond in every measure. They were incredibly friendly when we walked in the front and throughout the dinner. Food too was amazing too. I could’ve at nothing but the popcorn
