Jockey Silks Bourbon Bar

Jockey Silks is a fantastic spot if you’re looking for a quiet bar with a cool, dark atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can actually have a conversation without shouting, which is a huge plus. The bartenders are top-notch—friendly, attentive, and really know what they’re doing. Whether you want a classic drink or something a little different, they’ve got you covered. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy a well-made cocktail. Highly recommend checking it out whether you’re staying at the Galt House or just looking for Urban Bourbon trail stop offs.

The staff was friendly and helpful. There were tables, booths, a bar, and lounge seating. It was very dark yet comfortable. It wasn't too loud or too quiet. We enjoyed yummy cheese curds and fabulous Jockey Old Fashions. It was a nice place for a date.

I was looking for a lounge experience with a good bourbon. This place was perfect. Hard to find. I’m the hotel 2nd floor. The barkeeps were very professional, made recommendations and were patient and attentive without being overbearing. I enjoyed the vibe. Would come back.

I’m not sure why this place won a sizzler? Visiting from Nashville. I honestly love Louisville. Birthplace of true spirits. However, this place is dark, uninviting and staff doesn’t know you even walked in until you flag someone down. They have an extensive cocktail list that I was ready to get down on and went through 3 choices that couldn’t be made as the bartender either didn’t know how or “don’t have the ingredients for”. Settled on the Lady D and it’s terrible. At the bar because our first two seat choices nobody visited us for service. At the bar it was dirty, unkept; and leftover lunch was the only constant (see pic) Order a salmon salad and I supposed they had to catch the salmon because 1 hour later they forgot my change of cheese choice. Hubby ordered pizza, don’t bother this is NOT their speciality unless you like a burnt bottom. If all the choices I found on trip advisor this one should be removed. If you decide to go, take one advice, Debra was our bar servicer; barely greeted, cursed at the “rush crowd” kept asking how to mix drinks without the ingredients and complained the entire time. Urgh! I wish I wasn’t so hungry, had parked and was committed at this point to eating….just paid for the food and left

They have the best crew working here. They mix the best drinks. I’m actually concerned to order a Manhattan anywhere else! I can’t remember her name but the female bartender Suri with the neck tattoos and other tattoos is amazing! Her new trainee Rohit was equally amazing with his abilities! The only reason we spend a $100+ because we couldn’t enough of their drinks or food! You must come here if you are in Louisville! The staff and management is amazing!

The food was good. The atmosphere was good. Ambiance and eats worthy of 5 stars? No, probably not. However what WAS worth 5 stars was our service! Our server Amanda was prompt and professional - a true gem. She made our evening special!! Food-wise I had the bacon cheeseburger. Quality bacon, solid beef patty, fresh bun.

Lovely ambience and a great place for a conversation or a date. Decent selection of bourbons although they'd run out of quite a few of the ones I'd ordered. The cocktails were lacking and weren't quite balanced out - which was a surprise. I'd say go here After dinner and drinks - more for a nightcap

It's a hotel lounge. When we went their sandwich oven was broken so the menu was from their other restaurant. They do not validate for parking. Service was great, but there are better options on Whiskey Row.
