When the moon hits your eye,” that’s a Moonsong.

Moonsong Bar + Cafe is now open at 710 E. Jefferson St., offering coffee and breakfast in the morning + drinks and dinner in the afternoon and evening.

In addition to classic and simple coffee options, like lattes and mochas, Moonsong’s morning menu goes down under with a robust selection of Australian teas. Plus, if you’re feeling peckish, there are breakfast options like açaí bowls and granola. Pro tip: We recommend the avocado toast.

Once lunch and dinnertime roll around, Moonsong doesn’t stop singing. The menu transitions to items like blackened salmon tacos, an Impossible burger, and a fried chicken sandwich. At the bar, pick from drinks like the grapefruit and rose Lady in Rouge or the espresso martini Sleepless in Melbourne — all available as cocktails or mocktails.

Of course, the food + drinks are only as good as the atmosphere. Moonsong is in the clean and modern lobby of the Tempo by Hilton hotel, and it features plenty of comfy seating both indoors and out. There’s also a meeting space that can be reserved — or used by the public when it’s available — so it’s a great place for remote workers looking to get out of the house.

If all this sounds exciting, be sure to stay tuned. Moonsong will soon be joined by a rooftop restaurant, High Stakes Grill. This dinner spot will feature a view of the Louisville skyline and a menu of steaks, fish, and salads, along with its own lineup of cocktails and mocktails. High Stakes is set to open later this month.

Moonsong is open daily 6-11 a.m. and 3-10 p.m.
