We went up to the Conservatory Bar after a Saturday afternoon tour at Evan Williams. We were able to find a high top table for our group of 6 and grabbed cocktails from the bar. I chose a blackberry concoction which the bar was out of, but they were able to substitute blueberries instead. Either way, it tasted great! The bar offers scenic views of the river as well as the street below. It sits in the atrium between the two towers of the Galt House hotel. I can't say anything super "special" about this bar but it seems to serve its purpose as a stop along the way to your next activity. It reminded me of an airport bar without the booming loudspeaker announcing gate changes!

The Conservatory at the Galt House is located in the atrium, which is the bridge that connects the two towers. It is a full bar with a few featured cocktails and the atrium itself has plenty of seating. Some come to watch the large TV screens (especially sports games) while others relax in the wingback chairs nears the windows. At night the windows light up to create a vibe for those inside and outside looking in. Like most bars, the Conservatory has 2-3 bartenders taking care of the crowd so you'll need to be patient as you wait to order. Last call occurred around 11:30p on a Saturday evening, which took us by surprise. That's early for Louisville. We sat for another hour enjoying our drinks and watching the team wipe down the tables. No food is available here; however, private party events that are catered can be scheduled.The Conservatory offers a nice option for those not wanting to leave the hotel for a cocktail - or someone who needs a more exciting view than their room or the lobby. ** side note: the atrium also hosts guests throughout the day and there's a small grill available for snacks, drinks, coffee, etc.

I brought my fiancé here to show him the cool bar with fish and the caged birds, but they have since removed them! How disappointing! The atmosphere is not the same and it now just has a modern feel to it. I think they made a BIG mistake with remodeling this place. We have no reason to ever come back now.

Ordered nachos and some drink off their specialty list. Both were delicious. Very spacious. My bartender Cash was pleasant and on point! This was a pre stop to a night of adventures. However, we ended up back here. Drinking more... don't judge us. LOL. It was my first time but it will not be my last!

We always have a list of must visit list in Louisville, and this is perfect break in the middle to sit down and exhale while regrouping. The first time we wandered in it wasn't even open yet, but we knew it would be the perfect place for a bloody Mary while resting the "dogs" and taking in the river view. It didn't disappoint. We were told to sit at the aquarium bar, but we opted for a table with the river view. We are all about the river view. Make no mistake, this is a romantic place.Needed to soak up the alcohol, so went for a lite bite of pimento cheese. So odd yet good...chopped tomatoes, bread and butter pickles and pickled onions. I don't even like onions, but these caused me to come home and make some! .So..mif you need a break or even just a cocktail in Louisville, find your way here. You can thank me later. Cheers!

The manager thanked me for my continued responses, so I will leave another. Southern hospitality did not occur here. Worst bar ever. There you go manager.

Ms. Betty is THE gem that keeps this place afloat. Never let her go! Get your old fashioned made with buffalo trace, it's worth it!
