Pretty Decent

This is a quaint, odd little plant shop with a bar in the back. The service was fast and friendly and the drinks were seriously AMAZING! 10/10 in quality and taste. Gotta admit: when we saw this on line we thought it was a "Speakeasy" kinda place. Our fault. We had the Carajillo (pictured) then the Chirulin and Tuna Verde Margarita (forgot pics)

This place was interesting, I have never seen a place that is a botany store and a cocktail bar! We are in Louisville with friends this weekend and our friends went to a pop-up event that this store did in Detroit, where we are from, so they wanted to check it out. The cocktail bar has a heavy focus on mezcal but you can get other cocktails as well. I had the gimlet, which was good but very lime-y, and the tuna verde margarita, which wasn't entirely to my taste but my husband and friends liked it. My husband got the negroni, which he enjoyed, and one of the 1 oz pours of mezcal. Our friends also got some of the mezcal pours, it's interesting because they bring the bottle to the table so you can look at it.Our server was John, I believe, and he made sure we never ran out of water refills, as well. This was a fun time and we may be back before we leave Louisville.

We went on a Friday around 7:00pm. Parking was atrocious. Luckily we were able to find a parking spot a few blocks away. We didn't mind to walk because it was such a lovely day. We walked in & were instantly greeted. We decided to get a drink before looking around. As we looked over the menu the bartender came over & helped us narrow down our decisions. Our drinks were delicious. My Villa Alta drink was layered with tropical notes. I absolutely loved it. The bar has a record player & a large selection of records. While we were there the two albums that were played: the GoGos and Purple Rain. A whole vibe. After we finished our drinks we closed out & went to look at the plants. Lots of cute options ranging in sizes & prices. They even have a dried flower bar. This place is super cute & I will definitely be back!

What a cool bar! Pretty Decent is a plant-shop bar with a ton of cool events, craft cocktails and a clean, spa-like vibe. Perfect for date night! The cocktails were incredible (if maybe a little pricey - $13-16) and the staff was friendly and helpful! Would love to go back for an event. GREAT date night spot!

Let's just start by saying, this is a beautiful space. A nice, clean aesthetic made all the more welcoming with the abundance of plants.Welcome to Pretty Decent, a plant store in addition to a bar with light refreshments! The main focus here, are the plants and they have a wide variety to choose from. Everything from pathos to moss wall art. There's a selection of wines, plant related Jewerly, soil and plant care accessories. My friend and I were greeted and we decided to catch up over a drink at the bar. There's a small selection of beer to choose from but its focus is mixed drinks. The bartender was very knowledgeable and made my friends drink off of what she told him she liked. If you want something to nosh on, there's a small snack menu. The only complaints that I personally had were the stools had no backs and I had to be mindful not to lean back, or I'd make a spectacle of myself. There are a limited amount of tables that can easily fit groups of four. Remember, the focus is the plants. I couldn't leave without picking out a new plant that will hopefully survive my propensity of killing plants. It was replotted at a separate counter and I was given a care card. If you wanted to purchase your plant first, you could have this done while you had a drink. Pretty Decent also offers both plant and bar workshops but hurry because they fill up fast. I had such a lovely time at the shop and I will definitely go back.

Do you like cocktails and/or wine? Do you like indoor plants? Then you'll like Pretty Decent, which is in the middle of the Venn diagram of both of those.This bar and plant shop opened on Frankfort Avenue not too long ago. When I visited I found a spot that has a well curated selection of flora and other home goodies. The plants are a bit on the expensive side, but they seem well taken care of. A #plantmom or #plantdad could have a field day here.My friend and I arrived around 3 because we saw they opened at noon. Well, we soon found out that while the shop opens at noon, you can't get a drink until 4. The nice clerk served us wine, though, while we waited for the bartender to start work.And once I received my drink, I really liked it. Their menu is creative, leaning heavily into mezcal and Oaxacan inspiration. Not sure if that's a forever thing or just for the season, but it was interesting nonetheless.Pretty Decent has an inviting seating area in front of the shop next to the side walk that is especially fun for people watching.I love that this is in my neighborhood. What a unique Frankfort Avenue offering!

Beyond decent. I love the humbled mindset that Jeanne and John have created here. Be welcomed by beautiful plants and pops of contrasting color brightened by the large window storefront. Browse, chat with Jeanne, and be amazed that after shopping for your new Silver Satin Exotica you can refresh with some curated spirits. The back portion of the shop acts as their bar. Stocked with Mezcal and Rums from many regions of Mexico. John knows and LOVES this stuff. Gavin, he's nice as hell to be tending bar as well. Every few months the flagship cocktails change for a new seasonal lineup, so be sure to pop in often.

Pre date night drinks started here. What a cool shop. Parked on the street and walked up to see a storefront full of plants! Lots of small pots with various plants- some of which I have at home and others I do not (yet!). We went to the far back where the bar is and had a seat. There are some cute tables but we opted for the bar to be in the action. The bartender who is probably the owner, was quick to serve us menus. I was surprised to see so many Spanish names but then again they did have a ton of mezcal on the bar. I went with the pajaro, Spanish for bird I believe. It was great. My date had the big tuna, which sounds like fish but Tuna is also the word for the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. He enjoyed his drink. We talked about all things that next hour as we enjoyed our drinks in so much that I forgot to check out the plants! I had only few min to run through the aisles as we were leaving. Hence, no pics of plants. I'd say they were a bit pricey, but that's standard for these curated plants. They have "pretty decent" merchandise for sale as well. Cute bar. Would def come back again might leave with a plant next time.

What a cute and unique place! As soon as you walk in you are surrounded by plants that you can buy.The bar is in the back and there are also some tables for 2 if your prefer that seating.Our bartender was awesome and had great recommendations!I tried the Pisco Punch and it was so good! They also have beer, wine, non-alcoholic drinks and a couple of bar snacks like chips and salsa.I highly recommend checking this place out because there is no other like it!

Pretty Decent has become one of our favorite bars in town since it opened earlier this year. We love a bar with a unique identity and PD fits the bill. There is nothing else like it in town - a focus on ethically sourced agave and other botanical spirits, specifically from Central and South America. John (co-owner/bar director) has traveled extensively and has a deep knowledge of the products he offers and the processes by which they're made. I usually order from the current menu, but John maintains an extensive spirits list for those who prefer a simple pour, and he'll also do a dealer's choice or a classic like a daiquiri or margarita. The space is light, with several two-tops and plenty of seats at the bar. John's wife Jeanne runs the plant shop at the front of Pretty Decent. She's a master gardener and is happy to discuss plants and what might be best for your home or to give as a gift. There are also beautiful pots and other plant care item in the shop, and Jeanne offers plant care classes as well as DIY botanical art classes (check the website!).PD is a great place for a drink or to buy a gift for yourself or a friend (they have a selection of tequila/mezcal bottles for carryout too), all while experiencing some of the best hospitality in Louisville. Just don't ask for a lemon!
