Play Louisville

I’ve been a few times but I went to celebrate my masters degree. The decor is lit and I love how it’s divided for drag shows and dancing.. the bars are not shy with the drinks lol I love the staff and ppl there. It’s fun and welcoming and I think it’s fairly price

This is the most inclusive, fun, and just all around great places to go. I’ve been a couple times before with friends and had a blast so I went again last night and had so much fun. Everyone who works there is so kind. The establishment is clean and well kept. And I love that if you get too overwhelmed in one area you always have 2 more you can choose from. I have high anxiety and I often go in between rooms. The last time I was there I ended up having to order an angel shot (iykyk) and the bar tender as well as security acted extremely quick and efficiently. I even felt safe enough to stay the rest of the night and had no issues with coming back. This is one place I can say that I feel safe drinking a few drinks and not having to worry about anything. And that’s hard to find now. If you go you most definitely won’t be disappointed!

I had the best time. No judgement zone. Dancing and drinking and seeing the best drag show. This was my very first and I totally enjoyed this experience. I will be back. I already have my favorites

Had a great time! First time going to Play.. wish I would have went sooner.. Will be back! Bartenders and Staff was friendly and great. Loved the different bar setups. Came for a variety show and stayed for both amazing drag shows!!

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, beautiful drag, everyone’s friendly EVENTS ARE TOP TIER first time going it was a life changing experience will be going back

I've been all over the country and this is my favorite place for all of the things that PLAY does. It somehow manages elegance and comfort at the same time. You can dance your whole heart out or you can vibe with the beautiful queens or you can smoke on the patio if you're not into all the people.

Fun place. Staff was really friendly, the restrooms were clean, drink prices aren't bad, and the shows were entertaining. I especially liked the special take on the Rocky Horror Picture Show that they did for Halloween. Apparently that was just for a couple weekends in October, and was a third party group of play actors. So, not sure that plays are actually all that common here, or if they just do mostly drag and dance shows. I only went once with a friend and paid $15 at the door to get in (per person). - The drink menu was just a few house cocktails, beer, or shots. $5 each. Seating is pretty limited, with some paid/reserved tables right next to the stage, then there are other small tables further back from the stage that were free, and sat 4 each. There are some bleacher style rows further back on either side, but not sure if these were paid or not. There is one small bench in the back, with two small tables for about 6-8 people total, free, by the restrooms. Everything else is standing room between the bar and stage. Reserve a table, or get there early, if you want to sit. - Very diverse crowd of all ages and types of people so, no matter who you are, or your age, you won't feel out of place here, and will have a good time. - Dancers come out for one song, take tips, then they rotate. You'll see the same 8 or 10 people several times but in different costumes, dancing to different songs. There were standup comedy type skits thrown in to mix it up a bit between dance shows. - The music was mostly top 40 radio pop, Electronica, and classic hip-hop and R&B. Parking is limited to very few spaces by the building, otherwise you have to park after hours in the business lot across the street. - Overall, great atmosphere, clean, fun, friendly, and nice place. They have an ATM near the entrance inside, and some patio seating outside.

The performers were pretty cool but we went to Play to dance on the floor - found it COMPLETELY dead on a Friday night. We were the only people dancing. Paid a non-refundable $15 (cash-only) cover and felt like we paid way too much for a dead party.
