Beyond decent. I love the humbled mindset that Jeanne and John have created here. Be welcomed by beautiful plants and pops of contrasting color brightened by the large window storefront. Browse, chat with Jeanne, and be amazed that after shopping for your new Silver Satin Exotica you can refresh with some curated spirits.The back portion of the shop acts as their bar. Stocked with Mezcal and Rums from many regions of Mexico. John knows and LOVES this stuff. Gavin, he's nice as hell to be tending bar as well.Every few months the flagship cocktails change for a new seasonal lineup, so be sure to pop in often.

PDB is running the most consistent cocktail program in town and it's not even close. Limited, seasonal menu? Yeah. You gonna find something you love? Most definitely. I've been trying something I don't love. Also John is Louisville's premier mescal expert / importer.Also there's a plant shop.

All of the drinks and snacks are perfect. This is a great spot for a pre/post dinner drink. The drinks are truly special up and down the menu 10/10 recommend.

I love this place from the plant store, to the bar, to the wonderful people who work here and their careful cultivation of products produced by people who are treated well. The owners and staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The drinks are great and love the specials they have for food and plant workshops. I wish more cities had shops like this!

Pretty Decent has become one of our favorite bars in town since it opened earlier this year. We love a bar with a unique identity and PD fits the bill. There is nothing else like it in town - a focus on ethically sourced agave and other botanical spirits, specifically from Central and South America. John (co-owner/bar director) has traveled extensively and has a deep knowledge of the products he offers and the processes by which they’re made. I usually order from the current menu (changes every few months), but John maintains an extensive spirits list for those who prefer a simple pour, and he’ll also do a dealer’s choice or a classic like a daiquiri or margarita. The space is light, with several two-tops and plenty of seats at the bar.John’s wife and co-owner Jeanne runs the plant shop at the front of Pretty Decent. She’s a master gardener and is happy to discuss plants and what might be best for your home or to give as a gift. There are also beautiful pots and other plant care item in the shop, and Jeanne offers plant care classes as well as DIY botanical art classes (check the website!).PD is a great place for a drink or to buy a plant or other gift for yourself or a friend (they have a selection of tequila/mezcal bottles for carryout too), all while experiencing some of the best hospitality in Louisville. Just don’t ask for a lemon!
Dropped in today after hearing glowing reviews from my friends in town. Excellent cocktails. Incredibly friendly and professional service. I didn’t even realize I needed more plants in my life until I came (didn’t buy as any would have been unintentionally euthanized). The ambiance is carefully curated and incredibly relaxing. I will definitely be back.

Pre date night drinks started here. What a cool shop. Parked on the street and walked up to see a storefront full of plants! Lots of small pots with various plants- some of which I have at home and others I do not (yet!). We went to the far back where the bar is and had a seat. There are some cute tables but we opted for the bar to be in the action. The bartender who is probably the owner, was quick to serve us menus. I was surprised to see so many Spanish names but then again they did have a ton of mezcal on the bar. I went with the pajaro, Spanish for bird I believe. It was great. My date had the big tuna, which sounds like fish but Tuna is also the word for the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. He enjoyed his drink. We talked about all things that next hour as we enjoyed our drinks in so much that I forgot to check out the plants! I had only few min to run through the aisles as we were leaving. Hence, no pics of plants. I'd say they were a bit pricey, but that's standard for these curated plants. They have "pretty decent" merchandise for sale as well. Cute bar. Would def come back again might leave with a plant next time.

We walked in and the ownership was immediately not accommodating and was directly rude to someone in our party. Nice place but we definitely will not be going back there.

This is a great place to go try something new. Their Mezcals are super reasonably priced, and their owner is really passionate about it and more than happy to answer questions. I also thought the cocktails were fun and creative.
