Lucky Penny

Had a great experience at disco blizzard (pop up bar at the Lucky Penny!). The decor is festive and fun, and the special drinks were delicious!Ranked, my favorite were:Nutty or NiceSour nutcrackerElf TearsService was impeccable! Harrison made fabulous drinks and the bar back was so helpful with getting us extra crackers with our cheese ball. Note: the cheese ball is HUGE and probably sized best for 4 people!).Reservation s strongly recommended! Enter from the inside (store inside Hotel Genevieve).

Hidden behind unassuming red ropes lies *Lucky Penny*, an intimate speakeasy with charm and character in every corner. The small, cozy space lends a unique vibe, making it feel like you've discovered one of the city's best-kept secrets. Due to its limited seating, reservations are a must, and Resy makes it easy to secure a spot.We visited on a Friday night, and from the moment we walked in, the experience was top-notch. The bartenders were true artists, crafting cocktails that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. Each drink had its own personality, and it was clear that the staff takes pride in their work. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, allowing for easy conversation amidst the buzz of a full house. A huge thanks to the Lucky Penny team for a memorable night out. Can't wait for the next visit!

Fun seasonal decor speakeasy with yummy cocktails and small plates and accommodating staff.

Speakeasy in the back of Hotel Genevieve that can be found by looking for the red velvet ropes. It's dark and mysterious inside so takes the eyes a few minutes to just. The space is well designed.As was the case with the last speakeasy in town the space had the ambience and feel of a speakeasy, but the cocktail game fell short. Drinks were fine for a regular bar, but did not live up to the expectation of a speakeasy. Hopefully with time that changes.

After visiting Bar Genevieve my best friend wanted to show us how to find the speakeasy he'd visited earlier in the week. We knew reservations were booked through the new year and expected a peek only - but, after being let in to check out the space the server found us an opening and we got to enjoy a couple of cocktails. Each drink is $14. High end but then again, most places that offer great ambiance - velvety couches and blankets - are within this range. My cocktails were displays of fun, each including a disco ball theme, and packed a punch. Service was top notch too and I loved the staff recognized my best friend from his visit earlier and each welcomed him back. The space can be quiet or loud, depending on the crowd around you. This is great for two people or a group as long as you remember to book a reservation in advance. If not, doesn't hurt to peek inside and see if there's an extra chair, especially when it opens. You could spend an entire night roaming Hotel Genevieve and the spots it offers for drinks, food and conversation.

A hidden speakeasy with a creative drink menu and immaculate vibes. Perfect spot for date night. We stopped in on a whim around 5:30 so it wasn't crowded at all. It's very very dark inside so it takes awhile for your eyes to adjust but it's not dark enough that you need to pull out your flashlight. I tried the drink special, a raspberry bourbon smash of sorts, and it was super refreshing and not too sweet. I also had a well made old fashioned. There's a page about the history of the bar and name in the drink menu that I really appreciated being there. As a fun touch they have home made Chex mix too! Super cool spot, we will definitely be back.

I'm a sucker for a speakeasy, and I admit that I was intrigued when the clerk in the Mini Marche market told me a few days before that there was a speakeasy behind the nondescript door bedecked in stickers to the left of the coffee counter. (Shhhhhh ... now you know the secret entrance!)So when my husband and I were exploring Hotel Genevieve during our anniversary night out, we had to check it out.Inside is an intimate bar with mostly two-top tables but some cozy couches too. Its curved ceiling made me feel like I was in a bougie Quonset hut. And the drinks were good. The Scarlett Rose, made with rose-petal-infused rye, was that sweet bourbon bite I craved after enjoying fruity, summer cocktails upstairs at the rooftop Bar Genevieve.Lucky Penny also boasted an awesome playlist. David Bowie and the Velvet Underground -- not to mention the drinks -- brought me to a happy place.If you want a vacation -- whether you're leaving the city or not -- Hotel Genevieve and it's restaurant and bars will transport you.

There's a speakeasy in @hotelgenevieve_louisville named 'Lucky Penny'. The 'Old Fashioned' was amazing.

Cute little space. Low light but a nice date night spot. The house made Chex mix was so tasty and just a smallest hint of spice. Unique.

Great ambiance and delicious mixers make for a great time with friends. It's a bar. Not sure what else needs to be said.
