The vibes, the playlist, the crew all immaculate. So glad I stopped in and will be back! They have a very curated drink menu so go in with an open mind. We tried their spin on the grasshopper and it was great. Also one of the best Espresso martinis I've had!

Went here with girlfriends and loved the vibe here! The drinks were amazing, art from local artists, and they had a food truck in the parking lot. Tons of parking which was also a plus! Can’t wait to go back for brunch!

The cocktails are on another level. Every drink feels like a carefully crafted experience, not just something poured in a glass. The bartenders here are true artists—thoughtful, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. Prova isn’t just a place to grab a cocktail—it’s a place to linger, connect, and savor. If you’re searching for your new favorite bar, look no further. This is the spot you’ll want to unwind with a truly exceptional drink in hand

Delicious drinks, great staff, and A+ atmosphere! Excellent NA options if you want to skip the buzz. There's even an art gallery! Awesome place.

Prova is a true gem in Louisville! The authentic Italian liquor drinks were some of the best I’ve ever had—beautifully balanced and absolutely delicious. I had the chance to chat with the owners, who shared they even source their lemons directly from Italy for the drinks. That kind of dedication to authenticity really shows in the flavor and overall experience. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re looking for a true taste of Italy in Louisville!

Prova is such a fantastic addition to Nulu! The cocktails are not only delicious but also beautifully crafted and truly unique. You can tell there is real creativity and care behind every drink. The space feels stylish and modern with its own distinctive character, making it stand out from other bars in the area. Knowing it is owned by someone with Italian roots makes it even more special, as you can feel that heritage woven into the experience. A wonderful new spot to try if you are looking for something original and memorable in Louisville!
