Hell or High Water

Louisville, Kentucky

Hell or High Water describes itself as a cocktail lounge for curious spirits, and the room behind its West Washington Street address keeps things deliberately cozy and intimate. Space is limited, so the team recommends reservations and books general seating for parties of up to twelve. When a preferred time is gone, an online waitlist opens on the evening itself, and walk in guests are often still accommodated, so stopping by is worth a try. Larger groups can arrange a buyout in one of several spaces. The calendar keeps the room busy with live jazz every Wednesday evening, burlesque on the first Thursday of the month, and a vinyl night on the last Thursday.
