    We were seated in the gymnasium because we wanted to hear Tyrone Cotton perform music. It's nothing less than an epic room/space!! The whiskey display is a sight to behold! The whole building is a fascinating place to wander around. The food was solid and the drink options were great! We had a really nice evening and look forward to going back.

    This was the coolest experience we had in Louisville. The amber room bar is absolutely beautiful. We ordered the Madonna pizza and it was very delicious. The smaller pizza was more than enough for two of us. Great dinner, beautiful venue and wonderful people.

    The Last Refuge was absolutely amazing! I don't drink but the mocktail was great and the buffalo chicken dip was probably some of the best I have ever had! The life music was awesome too. Great band! The inside of this place is super cool and the wall of bourbon is even cooler. We will definitely be back!
