The Limbo - Louisville

‍ a delightful oasis in downtown Louisville. Tiki drinks are made with both love and joy, and include classics and house specialties as well as occasional special menus. The space sprawls into a back room and large patio, seating many more people than one might guess. We were fortunate to be there on a night when the gifted Cedric was DJ ing and if there's a way to show up when he is choosing the music, I heartily suggest doing so. Note: if you enter and don't see a bartender, continue to the patio and you'll likely find someone there. This is definitely a welcoming space, and the welcome was wide and enthusiastic for everyone we saw enter. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

They are going for a Trader Vic's vibe here, and they do a pretty good job.Drinks are all super sweet, but the bartender is willing to adjust them to taste. Love the little toys that come with the drinks.Service is a little slow, but they are trying.

Probably pretty nice. Though, I wouldn't know because the doors were locked during posted business hours. Went down the street to META which was awesome.Edit: Google and their website say they're open 7 days a week but their Instagram says they're closed Sunday and Monday....so mystery solved there. Went back the next day and the decor and atmosphere were nice. Drinks left something to be desired. Got a Mai Tai that tasted like Hi-c fruit punch. From what I could put together the bartender was either new or subbing for the regular bartender because she didn't seem that familiar with the menu or bartending in general. We'll try to swing by again to give it another shot.

Came for a burlesque show but it was cancelled. The bartender was friendly and made great cocktails. The overall vibe was off though we walked in expecting a genuine tiki bar and discovered silence. However, the bartender wound up playing a variety of new wave music. The back patio could use speakers though.

One of the female bartenders loves to shitpost and spam Tider. I would avoid going here because of her, she also loves to argue and contradict herself. Prime real estate for bad business. Since alcohol is sold here she more likely to get customers riled up and fighting with lewd offline behavior.
