The Jasmine Bar

Stumbled upon this gem quite by accident. It's tucked away in a corner of downtown Louisville. The ambiance is great- there are several different seating areas to choose from, depending on whether you want a more speakeasy, intimate vibe (the bar), a classy lounge, or laid back with possible live music (patio). All of them are great, depending on what it is you are going for.The drinks are amazing as well. A little on the pricey side, but they're worth it if you enjoy a well-balanced craft cocktail. We also had the chocolate truffles as a late night dessert, and thoroughly enjoyed them. This will now be one of our favorite date night spots.

I really wanted to love my experience here, but unfortunately it was quite a letdown. Let me start by saying that they did a great job with this remodel. It's tucked back down the alley between Bittersweet Cafe and B.O.B.S. Diner. They have a variety of seating to choose from: casual tables & couches outside and several tables inside with a large screen tv that had the football game playing right next to a cornerside fireplace. We made a reservation for 6pm on a Saturday in September and there were only a few other people there on the ground floor and a small party upstairs in their private room. They also have a nice "cigar lounge" right beyond the fireplace that's also available for parties. We sat at 6:10, ordered around 6:20 and didn't receive our 3 cocktails until 7:02. I couldn't believe it. The host/server was sweet and said that the drinks would be coming soon, but as we sat and waited and waited and waited nothing happened. We almost considered just leaving. They give truffle popcorn complimentary which is a nice touch and was flavorful, but waiting 40 mins for a drink is wild. The drinks were fine - Manhattan was good, Jasmine Old Fashioned with Gin was nice if you like citrus (although I didn't think it was worth $22), and the THE DEAD RABBIT COFFEE COCKTAIL was so bland. All you tasted was the egg white. It was like drinking a cloud. The ambiance overall was nice, but the music playing was a bit odd and kind of put our group into a sleepy trance as we waited and waited for our cocktails. The bar area is nice, but just having one bathroom is a little strange. I always want local businesses to thrive and do well so I truly hope this isn't the norm and maybe we came at an off day, but I'd be hesitant to return based on this experience.

This place is dope. It has a speak easy cozy lounge style that feels like home with a wood burning fireplace in the cold months. The owner and bartender's are very friendly with excellent service. They will make whatever you want and discuss some options to consider as you are creating your recipe. I had a Manhattan and it did not disappoint. 5 stars.

I went to the Jasmine bar with a few friends to try their cocktails, and we all loved absolutely everything about this place. First, the atmosphere: they did a great job with the remodel. The bar area is nice, there are plenty of tables with a fire place, and there's an area in the back with comfortable chairs and low tables. A small loft upstairs with sofas feels very cosy. The vibe is inviting, warm and pleasant, with a mix of old and contemporary touches; it's simply beautiful!The service was impeccable, our waiter kept checking on us. The food menu is limited to charcuterie or cheese boards, olives and nuts. We found the nuts tasty and perfect for snacking while enjoying our drinks. We felt so comfortable there that we ended up staying longer than planned and tried a few cocktails. The selection is impressive, and all the ones we tasted were delicious and beautifully presented in pretty glasses. I started with the Jasmine Martini which was lovely, with a couple of elderflower buds floating on the drink and a little branch of thyme attached to the rim. We all had a great time, everything was perfect. As I got home, I was already thinking of when I'd go back - hopefully very soon!

I love the whole experience of the jasmine bar, and the staff and drinks are fabulous.

I almost walked right past this little bar on Main! After you go down the alleyway you're meant to, you'll find this lovely upscale bar hidden off the beaten path. The cocktails here were crafted with skill & garnished with care, which I loved! The server was informative & knowledgeable about the menu, making it feel even more like a hidden gem! Expect steeper prices that reflect the complexity of their drinks and the luxe-modern setting itself.

Best cocktails in Louisville, not busy! Definitely should be busier based on the great ingredients and drink choices

By far the best place to get drinks in Louisville. Service and drinks have always been great. Ambiance is unique. Antonio and Juan were knowledgeable and friendly! Definitely will come back. 10/10!

Vintage spirits along side rarities,The ambiance and fireplace give a nice aesthetic appeal. Cocktails and staff delivered top tier service

Maybe we caught them on a bad night. There seemed to be just the bar tender working so he had to come over and take everyone's order and then go make the drinks. He was very friendly, drinks were good. I think we waited about 15 min to order and then another 20-25 min for our drinks. We just wanted to drop in for a drink before dinner and didn't expect to be there for about an hour. It was a weird vibe hard to describe.
