Proof on Main

VERY GOOD place, great atmosphere, very hip / chic clientele. Food is amazing, especially the bison burger , scallops , octopus , & grits 😄 incredible, provocative Art throughout, GREAT drinks ❤️❤️❤️

Everything is good at Proof, last time we was there, we had a steak and diver scallop . The steak I had was perfect every bit had so much flavor. The diver scallop was a nice size and very fresh!

Broadbent Country Ham Falafel is a must-order appetizer--beloved Kentucky ham is mixed in with the chickpeas before each falafel ball is shaped and fried, adding smoky pigginess to each bite.

While the reviews of the 30-foot-tall golden naked David in front of its entrance are mixed, new executive chef Levon Wallace's menu has drawn near universal praise. [Eater 18 Member]

If you're not in the mood for a full meal, try the bar 's selection of creative, delicious small plates that are unique to the bar menu. And the cocktails , duh!

Great cocktails ; fantastic decor!!! The pate pop tart was interesting. I’m not huge on pate personally but the execution was very well done and balanced.

The food was outstanding. We had the octopus appetizer (perfection), for dinner I had the Duck Bolognese , my husband had the veal (great). Pair the KY bourbon pie with the Madeira...it is beautiful!

The food was over the top! Gary had the appetizer Ahi Tuna - best he's ever had and the Salmon . Minette had the Buffalo Bison , which ended being the best piece of meat she'd ever tasted. Will be back! Read more

Make sure to take the time to check out the art gallery during your visit. It is small but very worthwhile. They have a golden replica of Michelangelo's David on the outside

The food is delicious, the drinks are wonderful, but it's the decor that makes Proof on Main worth going to. Plus, the restaurant located inside 21c Museum Hotel boasts the best bathroom in the city . Read more

Enjoyed a 'Death's Grip'. Perfect place to finish our Urban Bourbon Trail . 6 for 6!!! We Rock!!! Most expensive T shirt we earned for free. :)

Go for the bison burger , piled high with shredded lettuce and apricot-laced jezebel sauce. Just try it. Read more

Posh little bar with a strikingly surreal decor. The place is furnished with a nice blend of high tables akin to a formal setting and large comfortable couches . Wear a casual jacket at the least.

Any restaurant inside a contemporary art museum is going to be interesting, and Proof isn't any different. Atmosphere, food, presentation, everything. Ice cream is delicious - go for the burnt sugar.

This is a New York worthy restaurant !. This sounds weird but you HAVE to go & take a look at the Men's restroom...the urinal is 1 of a kind! Reservations during Derby have to be made months in advance

The bison burger is awesome; the crispy rosemary parmesan fries are even better. Love that they split it for us!

Very nice brunch . The cornmeal biscuit in the Benedict is a unique and tasty option compared to other brunch spots .

Ask your server or bartender for your Urban Bourbon Trail Passport! Try the "Darkened Manhattan " - Woodfor Reserve bourbon , sweet vermouth and Starbuck's dark coffee liquer shaken with ice, strained a

Frittata was delicious and the best biscuit I have ever eaten!

Get the roasted bones if you're looking for something special. Or incredible. Either one.

Make sure to visit the adjacent museum and walk around the restaurant

Fantastic atmosphere! Order a bourbon flight & don't miss the attached contemporary art gallery in the 21c hotel .

The fried bologna sandwich took me back to my childhood. You must try it! The cocktails are wonderful, too!

Great food and cool venue- attached to a gallery when you need a break from your table 😉.

What a great place to experience Kentucky Bourbonism and amazing food. The truffle fries are fantastic

Proof on main is a must for anyone visiting our fair city . Great cocktails and the most interesting people. Be sure to check out the interesting art installations in the attached hotel galleries .

Proof selected Eagle Rare is delicious. Slightly more spicy than your typical Eagle Rare and well worth the visit.

Best cocktail I've had in a long time, great service, and top quality without feeling stuffy.

Enjoyed the tuna tartine with Lima bean salad for lunch . It was light, low cal , and gourmet. But it killed me to watch a co-worker have the fries , which are soooo good. Being on a diet sucks.

Seems like their bison burger is the favorite here, tonight I delve into the hen of the woods on the gnocchi

The art and the pictures. Its beautiful. All the different wonderful smells. Its amazing!!! 😀

Not too pricey when you just get the charcunerie at the bar ... Ladies don't forget to strike a pose at the large mirror on the way to the bathroom .

The bar has a full selection of obscure bourbons and Kentucky ryes , but you'll also find the delightful Champagne Frappé - sparkling wine served on shaved ice . Read more

The charred Octupus was disappointing. It was rubbery , though with flavor. I love Octupus and have had it all over the world. The Octupus in their sister resto in Cincy is soo much better.

The dinner here is amazing, especially the fatty pork chops . The "goo cake " is a disappointing fudge brownie .

Delicious cocktails surrounded by zany decor!

#ProofonMain The menu is a bit eclectic but you can't go wrong! Shrimp & grits are stupid good!

Best bison burger and scallops . Funny place - kitsch with charm.

super chill place to grab bourbon flights and cocktails

Excellent cocktails ! And extremely great bar staff . We had a great time for a bachelorette.

Get the octopus ! OMG. Loved the flavor! So unique.

Krista, waitress , is awesome! Very attentive. Food is stellar. The beet and pickled salad , lake walleye dishes are superb. And cotton candy ending? It's like a dream!

Yum!! The art around the hotel is incredible... Must order the Finlandia vodka drink on the menu to get your taste buds going! Cheers!

Unique alcohol selections ... my southern boy husband loves a good bourbon and rye .

Get the smoked fish dip...yum.Great all around experience. Read more

Imbibe Magazine recognized Proof on Main as having one of the Best Hotel Bars in the South in their March/April 2011 Southern Issue.

Great cocktails , impressive drinks menu. Pretty amazing gallery in the back

Widest selection of bourbons I've ever seen! 👀 Try a tasting flight.

Marvelously crafted menu. Fantastic atmosphere. Easy location.
