Chill Bar Highlands — Restaurant in Louisville

I was recently at Chill bar with several of my friends sitting at the outside bar during Indigenous People’s Day weekend. One of my friends was redirected by third party security to sit down while drinking. After he did so our drinks were given to us but required for each person to tilt the mini champagne bottle into the glass. My friend stood up again to do that so his drink would not spill over & the same security guard rushed over and began to yell at him. Then the same security guard yelled at another friend of mine that was trying to explain the complicated drink situation. Luckily my favorite bartender Richard immediately came over to rectify the situation & dismiss the security guard. Richard then apologized for his barbaric behavior & proceeded to take care of us. This is the first negative experience I’ve had at this bar but I do understand that security doesn’t regularly work here but I do think that security could be more trained & versed on how to approach situations that aren’t life threatening. We’re living in dangerous times now. We should be more understanding instead of being so rigid when faced with adversity. I hope that more security at Chill Bar will learn from this incident for...

I moved to Louisville from Knoxville, TN in March of 2020 as the shut downs began. My job shifted online, and has remained online. Recently I've been missing my friends, and I haven't made a friend group here. At the suggestion of a friend I came out for karaoke and then came back the next night night for RuPaul's Drag Race. It's such a great mix of friendly people. The people working have been very nice. The drinks are excellent and and well priced. There are several areas in the bar for seating, standing, and dancing. I'm originally from Ashland, KY, and I've moved twice now in the past 5 years. I never felt this welcome and mix of people when I moved to Knoxville for my PhD. I should've been going to Chill Bar all along, but as many of them told me, apparently when you live in Middletown like I do it's easy to get stuck in a rut 🤦‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. I highly recommend this bar. They have so many fun events and a strong sense...

A great gay bar in downtown Louisville. My first time here and I'd say I'd go back again if I had the time on this trip. Everyone was so friendly. There was no cover when I walked in on this night and it was a very busy night I was shocked about that as it was also pride in this area. I was told by multiple people to go here that were local and I would suggest going if you are in the area and looking for an friendly environment. The drinks were great and the bartenders knew exactly what to make. Dancers in the bar were all well put together and didn't look trashy at all. The music was on point and went perfectly...
