About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
Sake a Gogo is an experiential Japanese restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, crafted by visionary restaurateur, Kevin Grangier. Inspired by the iconic Whiskey A Go Go on Sunset Boulevard, the concept reflects Kevin’s marketing roots In LA. Recognizing a gap in Louisville’s vibrant culinary scene, Kevin saw an opportunity to introduce an authentic Japanese dining experience, fueled by the city’s access to the world’s largest UPS hub for fresh, never-frozen seafood.

    We had a lovely time, our meals were delicious and we love the atmosphere. My reason for the 4 stars is the red wine list was limited and after tasting some, we could not find one we liked. I would suggest adding a few more red wines. The cocktails that we did order were innovative and delicious! It was not too busy, and we would have had more cocktails, but our server disappeared once we received our food. I also wish everyone's food came at the same time. After dinner, we did decide to go to the bar and another drink. Love the bartenders and their suggestions for cocktails were perfect.
