Lexus Lounge

This place was amazing! I attended for a networking event and it was so sleek and incredible. It's a beautiful and elegant place, that's for sure. I didn't see a show, but the bar and lounge area was such a cool spot to enjoy company. The bar staff was so friendly and enjoyable, and so helpful too! The food? Phenomenal. Honestly I don't even know what I ate but it was so good! I do hope to go back for an actual show to get the full experience!

We stopped in for a pre-show drink before the Craig Ferguson show. It was my first time here not for a special, private event.They have a surprisingly decent list of wine and beer. And nice list of cocktails to chose from, all of which are $10. And there are some tasty sounding food options as well! They have you covered, pre-show. If you get there early enough, that is.You order at the bar. If you are getting food, you get a number to bring back to your table and someone will deliver your food to you. If you are getting a drink, you wait at the register to get your drink. If you are ordering a cocktail, they aren't suuuper complicated, but they do take more time to make. So be patient.We had already gotten dinner somewhere else, and were just killing time before the show started. So drinks were on our menu. I got the cherry almond sour. Absolutely delicious, dangerously drinkable, and hard for me to stop after one. But I did (and switched to a disappointing rose wine which was expected because I just got the cheapest thing to follow up with). The Fella shocked me and got a mai tai! He mentioned that it was generously strong and also very tasty!Scene gets understandably and obviously busy prior to performances. If you are dead set on dining here pre-show, get here early to secure a table (as they are first come, first serve) and to give time for your food order to arrive as well as time for a potential second round. The lines can get long and take some time. And this was noted on a chilly Tuesday night...not the most attended of evenings for Kentucky Center performances. Be patient and give yourself enough time to properly enjoy your visit.

The Mister and I recently stopped into Scene for a pre-show drink and appetizer before attending a smaller show at the Kentucky Center for The Arts Bomhard Theater. We arrived just as they opened so seating was readily available. The bar has a decent liquor and beer selection and a small, but well-rounded wine offering. Our server, Josh, was amazing and made the experience so very pleasant! We had eaten dinner earlier and opted for a small appetizer and drinks. The appetizer was okay, nothing outstanding, and for $13 I expected more (3 meatballs). Drink prices were typical for the area. The atmosphere is nice, with the reflection of city lights through the windows (one side of the long dining room). The restroom was clean and well-maintained. The Scene is certainly convenient when seeing a show, and fine for pre-show drinks. However if recommending a place to dine prior to a show, I would likely opt for one of the nearby restaurants.

Great little cocktail bar at the KY Center for Performing Arts. A perfect place to grab a drink and a bite before a play or concert (one stop parking garage below for both concert hall and bar). They opened @ 6PM. We arrived incredibly early (6:20) for a comedy act at 8 PM (who can judge the traffic from Middletown to downtown Louisville). Needless to say we had our choice of seats. You'd best arrive early, however, if it's an event high in demand such as a broadway musical/play. The servers were cordial and came around often to check on us. We split a meatball appetizer that was excellent. I coveted the chicken potpies that I saw being distributed to others. The menu also features burgers and salads that looked great. The bar has a great view of downtown Louisville with some interesting images that flash and reflect on the glass windows and walls. They even take reservations. Nice and convenient.

The Kentucky Center is home to many wonderful touring and local productions in Louisville, and the Scene is the perfect place for a pre-show, mid-show, and post-show pit stop. In here you can grab a bite, a drink, or to simply just lounge around. I've been here for just about all of those occasions, and enjoy being able to have it while visiting the Center. I've had a burger and a few drinks, and everything is pretty much moderately priced and good. They also have some really comfy couches! It's a nice place to enjoy yourself before/after enjoying the show.

I am always happy the Scene exists every time we are running lat for a show but want dinner before but I don't think I'd go any other time. It's so convenient though! The food is good but nothing to rave home about. I got the French dip and my boyfriend got the burger sliders. Both were good size portions and we were satisfied with the food. What the Scene is doing right is offering quick service in a nice atmosphere before shows. You order at the bar and the food comes to your table pretty quickly. I think we waited around 10 minutes for it. The only real complaint is the table situation. We ordered around 6:45 for a 7:30 show and there were no open tables. Many people linger and drink after eating taking up table space. Luckily Another couple offered to share their table with us. All all I will probably go back before another show but there's so many other places in Lou to choose from.

This is a great option before seeing a show if you're short on time or you don't feel like walking in the rain to get to other restaurants nearby. They do not have table service, you order at the bar. Considering this is a theatre restaurant, it's really awesome, and they have a good variety. I love their crab cakes, nachos, and beer cheese. Their burgers are great and always cooked well, and I their black bean and quinoa patty was excellent.

This food will blow you away. This venue is amazing. If you are in Louisville you owe it to yourself to experience this place.

A nice place to have a drink or a bite before (or after) seeing a show at the KCA. Stylishly adorned, spacious, and comfortable, with an upscale bar food menu and decent drink selection. Not unlike a bistro in a nicer hotel (with prices to match, but fair for what it is).

This isn't where you want but I go for dinner before a show. All they have is cold food. $65 for 3 people to get 3 cold slider sandwiches each with 1 slice of deli meat, cheese, huge bun, and a $10 bourbon and coke a piece. I took the bread off and ate the deli meat and cheese since the bun was terrible. Look for somewhere to eat before a show.
