Go down to the basement, open the correct door and you'll find that gem!
The entrance is on the side of the building

What a beautiful hidden speakeasy! I went with my boyfriend and beat friend and we each found something on the cocktail menu to enjoy - a fruity drink, a dry drink and a deep whiskey. Their desserts and appetizers were all hits and the customer service was wonderful!

Cute little speakeasy right in the middle of town. Very cozy and decorated quite beautifully. Happy hour was nice and the food and drinks were both tasty.

This speakeasy is hidden in the heart of Louisville, and it's a wonderful surprise once you find it. The atmosphere is intimate and stylish with impressive cocktails. It's the perfect place to visit for drinks and a bite with friends or a date before heading to dinner. I enjoyed the Nora's Southside made with tea-infused gin, and my daughter loved her Black Manhattan. Our waitress was friendly and professional, although I was surprised how slow service was considering the place was almost empty when we visited. The drinks weren't made behind the bar, and our nuts took a while to arrive after we got our cocktails. Despite the minor hiccup, we had a wonderful time and will definitively go back!

Definitely a speakeasy because we got back in the car after not finding the front door. We called but only a message kind of telling you how to find it. The address number on a door was what threw us off. Door was locked and looked like no lights were on. We drove around the corner and finally saw a door that looked like we could enter. The pic included is what you need to find. Small little intimate bar in the basement that felt like you were downtown. I think this is what a speak easy is supposed to look and feel like...but in the suburbs. Mostly cocktails and a great place to end date night.

Nora's is a cool little place, tucked away! The drinks were strong and they had a big tables which are good for 5-6 people. Will be back.

Very intriguing place! Pretty fancy but small, so just bring a date or a couple friends. Drinks are well made that matches the high price and the well-attuned bartender/waiter likes to check into each table like a restaurant. In only 20 minutes, a couple glasses were dropped from other patrons due to the cramped nature of the building and distractions.. So careful of that though, cuz the drinking glasses were nice. Didn't try the food

Louisville's best kept secret. Amazing drinks and nice appetizers in an enchanted atmosphere. Best gin fizz outside of the Sazerak Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans

Very cool and unexpected little bar! Has a classic upscale cocktail vibe, great place for a romantic date or night out with friends. As others have mentioned, it can be a bit hard to find the door or get in contact with friends inside (once you're underground, the cell service is terrible). But I would just recommend giving yourself some extra time, part of the fun of a Speakeasy is finding it! And if you're meeting someone, maybe wait outside and go in together.

Really neat atmosphere. Wonderful cocktails. I love that they have traditional cocktails then their twist on them. Their snacks are perfect with the drinks. Service was great. Looking forward to going back. Make sure to check their hours before heading over.
