    AMAZING! The staff was knowledgeable about their products, and even walked us through what charcuterie board option would be the most worth our money based on what we liked. We sat on the outside patio (even though it was a little chilly) and it was totally worth it. They even had live trivia! Our drinks were delivered quickly, and with a smile. We LOVED the $4 off happy hour as we got to try a selection of cocktails without breaking the bank. The Victoria and the Old Fashioned were our favorites.The charcuterie board was fantastic. The selection of meats and cheeses, paired with such a wide variety of produce is exactly what we were looking for on our last date night before moving to a new state. Seriously, you can't go wrong at this place. Thank you Cultured - if we're ever back in the area again we will DEFINITELY drop by for another visit.

    My friend and I unfortunately had terrible service while we were here. There weren’t many tables to sit at and it wasn’t very crowded when we arrived. We were going to wait for our husbands to join us in less than an hour so we both got a drink and sat at a table for 4. We were then approached by 2 different employees who indirectly and rudely told us we were taking up bigger table and hounded us on when we would order food. We had been sitting only 5-10 minutes at this point. Needless to say, we felt unwelcome, uncomfortable, and like pests, so we let the waiter know we had changed our plans and needed to cash out and leave. Bottom line, we were treated disrespectfully. If we had been spoken to directly and with respect, I wouldn’t have written this review. It’s unfortunate because this place seemed adorable and we loved the concept.

    This is an awesome establishment with amazing food, drinks, staff and atmosphere. I’ve been here with family, friends, and on dates and it’s the perfect place. They have quality and local products and everything is delicious. They make all cocktails in house, with fresh squeezed juices and house made syrups, along with extensive wines and bourbons! The owner is super cool and the staff feels like your closest friends! Even when they’re super busy they are attentive and accommodating to everyone! I would recommend this a million times over!

    Love this place. Come here every time I’m in Louisville. I wish my hometown would get Cultured so I could enjoy it even more! Love the atmosphere and the food is always great. The fromage blanc is my boyfriend and I’s favorite cheese to get! Love it!

    Friendly staff in a clean, quaint little shop with a nice outdoor patio. Very close walking distance to the place we (three couples) were staying, so dropped in for a board as an appetizer. Decent selection of cheeses and wine/cocktails, though they were out of several bourbon flights when we were there. Beautiful presentation of tasty treats! Not inexpensive, but we expected that. Recommended!

    I love it here! The staff is so knowledgeable about the products, and help you choose the perfect combination of meats and cheeses for your specific tastes. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset, and they will recommend what drinks to pair with your order! You can't go wrong here.

  • 5/5 Jazzy B. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved our first experience here! It’s such a cute place and a perfect environment to hangout, eat a light snack and simply talk. The employees were very knowledgeable of their menu and flavors and provided us with a lot of insight with it being our first time ordering. They explained everything very thoroughly! We also went during their Saturday happy hour when they served $3 mimosas (which were delicious!) The space is a bit small so I wouldn’t recommend showing up with a large group of 6 or more. A larger group may also be able to sit in their outdoor area better when the weather is warm. It was placed on Yelp’s top 100 restaurants list for 2022 which is what first caught our attention, and now we know why. Would highly recommend!

    I loved Cultured. It was raining so I sat inside where space is limited but comfortable. I ordered a Bloody Mary for $5. It was wonderful in taste and you can't beat the price! I decided to order a Make Your Own board for one and it was lovely. Just the right amount if everything.. More than enough for one person who wants to sample the cheese selections and charcuterie options. I can't wait to return with friends!

    Great patio with shade and sun spots very well distanced. Heaters too. All workers wore masks and gloves. Wine and platters were well priced. Charcuterie boards had a great mix of fruit, veggies, sauce to make them a lovely mix to snack on.

  • 5/5 Caitlin N. 1 year ago on Google
    Cultured has an absolutely beautiful atmosphere, but even more beautiful charcuterie boards! My second time here and I am just so impressed with what they put together. Their cocktail and beer menu only add to the experience.

  • 5/5 Jacob H. 1 year ago on Google
    5 stars is not enough to describe how great this place is. The cheese boards are amazing and their drink selection has something for everyone. If you like good food and being treated nicely, then this place is for you.

  • 4/5 Andrew B. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall a nice little spot! If I could’ve done 4-1/2 stars I would have given that for sure. Great spot for an afternoon snack. We went during the 12-4pm happy hour mimosas on a Saturday which was nice, great mimosas! Could use a little more seating and a little more meat with the charcuterie boards, but hey that’s what I expected by buying a board that I was too lazy to make myself! The staff was friendly and the food was all fantastic and the little touches went a long way for both my wife and I.

    Great cheese and charcuterie plate with beautiful and fresh accoutrements. Sadly, the service at the bar was not on point. Many workers, zero attention beyond the initial greeting and food and beverage delivery. We were not asked how we were enjoying everything, if we needed a second beverage, if we were done and ready to cash out. Had to flag someone and ask for to go’s and check. And they were merely feet away at all times. May have stayed if service was better.

    I used Cultured for a company event an what a hit it was. So much so I had to go back the next weekend and check it out for myself. Can I just say WOW!! They blew it out of the water. Between their drinks and charcuterie board it was an amazing experience. Not to mention their prices are perfect- you definitely get a great value for your money. 100% recommend for stop by or purchase for an event.

    I've always been a fan of charcuterie boards and this place did not disappoint. We got the Make it double, and it was plenty of food for two. Keep in mind this is somewhere you want to go for a light lunch or dinner but the food and wine was great! They rotate the cheese and meats out every so often but with the make it double you get to pick two meats and three cheeses. I believe the veggies, fruits, and nuts depend on what they have in stock (they might let you pick if you ask). I wish I discovered this place in the summer, they have a great patio area that would be fun to chill at!

  • 5/5 Sam F. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful afternoon here on the patio. We ordered a wine flight that comes with cheese pairings, and then also shared the Make It Double board. Everything was delicious and we liked being able to customize the board.

    What an awesome little spot. Showed up early and just ahead of Thunder. The place is quaint and casual, and the staff and other guests were very friendly. Our board was just the right amount and super flavorful. The mimosa special just topped off a nice lunch before we headed off.

    So glad we found this gem! I could live off of charcuterie boards so this was absolutely fantastic!!

  • 5/5 Abby S. 8 months ago on Google
    Our first time...we were met with smiles and a genuinely friendly explanation of the menu offerings. The food was great...we opted for the 3 cheese/2 charcuterie plate - plenty for us. We had wine and really good cocktails and enjoyed a nice lil' afternoon out on the patio. Great experience.

    While, my husband and I visit here fairly frequently and we’ve always had a great experience. I have to give a special shout out today to Kevin and Jessica for such great customer service. I had a terrible experience with DoorDash and they both went over and beyond helping me get a very large charcuterie board in time for our fall outdoor event. They never got frustrated with me and they handled everything with care and a great attitude thanks Jessica and Kevin for all you did today!
